"Adam K'ad-Mon (Earth-616)" VS "Adam II (Earth-616)"

After his physical death, Adam was made to stand guard over the Primal Matrix as both a reward and punishment for his actions in life. His body is forced to suffer the pain of every transgression of man against the creator to occur since his own, and thus suffers from an incredibly scarred visage which he originally chose to hide under a mask, taking the name Spyros.[citation needed] In order to stop Kometes from bringing about the destruction of the world, the Son of Satan (Daimon Hellstrom) travelled back in time and was escorted to the Primal Matrix by the Atlantean sorceress Zhered-Na, where Kometes waited. Spyros attacked Hellstrom as none but he was allowed to access the Matrix. Spyros also recognized Hellstrom as the Son of Satan, the one who had caused his original disobedience. Hellstrom retorted by saying that though his father may have tempted him, it was Adam's own choice to disobey his God. The angered Spyros threw his axe at Hellstrom, but it was deflected by a blast of hellfire, causing it to hurtle into Kometes instead, destroying it. His task complete, Hellstrom departed the Matrix with Zhered-Na, the world having been saved.

Adam II was an android created by Phineas Horton after the Human Torch. He turned against his creator and attempted to build an army of androids to destroy humanity. Adam II was responsible for the death of the second Captain America, William Nasland.[2] Named after the Biblical first human, Adam II was intended as an improvement over the original Human Torch that Horton had created, but the synthozoid had none of his predecessor's morality. Assuming himself superior to organic life, Adam II imprisoned his creator and went about building an army of robots to serve himself, including robotic duplicates of humans. One of these was a duplicate of Horton which a visiting Human Torch and Toro discerned was an imposter, so Adam II captured them as well. After the Torch denied an offer of an alliance between fellow androids, Adam II left them inside a water tank along with Horton to drown. He then left to set about his plan for world conquest, which was replacing key political figures with his duplicates, starting with a young John F. Kennedy (who, at this time was senator, not president). Fortunately, the trio were found and rescued by The Patriot, and the Torch alerted his teammates in the All-Winners Squad. One of them, the replacement Captain America William Naslund, found Adam II and his robots, but was caught and murdered by one of Adam II's warrior robots before he could summon the rest of the team. Donning Naslund's costume to inspire the team to victory, the Patriot rescued the future U.S. president and ruined Adam II's plans. Seeking revenge on the replacement Cap, Adam II stole Kennedy's car to run him over, only to skid along an oil slick from his own destroyed robots. The car crashed and exploded, apparently destroying Adam II and ending his menace, while the Patriot went on to serve as the new Captain America for the next few years.[2] However, due to a contingency device Adam II had installed in the base of his own skull, his mind survived. Over the years, he would reappear again, his "black box" feature activating and taking over whenever a suitable host came within range of its signal. In modern times, a reactivated Adam-II was brought to a S.H.I.E.L.D. storage facility after an encounter with the Avengers, and to reactivate, took over the body of William Nasland III, an android believing itself to be human and dubbed himself Adam III. He engaged in a battle with the original Captain America and the Human Torch but when Naslund resurfaced, they short circuited and collapsed.
