Adam Monroe (also known as Takezo Kensei) is an evolved human with the ability to heal from any injury. This has also made him immortal, and he is over 350 years old. He also founded The Company, and in recent years has learnt to develop a new power.

About

In the 1600s, under an unknown name he was born in England, but later moved to Japan as a skilled samurai warrior hoping to earn a living under the name Takezo Kenseu. Adam became consumed by alcohol until he met Hiro Nakamura who teleported back in time after an emergency. There he taught Kensei how to be a Hiro, but betrayed him by taking his princess Yaeko. After attempting to aid the warlord Whitebeard he disappeared in an explosion. He resurfaced under the name Adam Monroe and spent the next few centuries trying to find love, but failed nearly every time. One wife bore him two sons. While fighting a man who could replicate himself in the Revolutionary War he realised he needed his own followers. During the 1970s he founded the Company with other evolved humans, and tried to release the lethal Shanti virus to punish the world. He was imprisoned for 30 years but he was freed and tried to release the virus again, but was stopped and buried alive. He was released and taken to Pinehearst where Arthur Petrelli stole part of his power, but was made to believe Adam was dead.
