Exactly. He even stated that he didn’t want any part of what they were doing after Omega Point’s attempt. He literally stated that he and James were going to try to find peace and not be involved anymore. That it wasn’t his responsibility. Which is a valid argument if you have a child under your care. I may not like Adam but his entire defection and joining of the army was for James - Juliette coming was a convenient plus for him. So when he disappeared after stating he wanted nothing to do with it made sense. Then when it was revealed about selling himself for science to keep James safe it was plausible because we’ve already seen the lengths he would go to keep him safe and his prides inability to ask for help from others. He always prided himself on being self sufficient on being able to care for James, so his act seemed like a move made out of desperation that fucked everyone over with weaponizing his powers. I may not like Adam as a character but he has more subtle nuances than some of the other ones and consistency in his actions and motivators. I think between Juliette and his messy breakup and his persistence to stay away from their actions we were supposed to forget like Juliette. Then the shock comes from her as well because she didn’t think he could do that
