Adam Malkovich (Metroid: Other M)

Adam Malkovich is a supporting character in Metroid Fusion and Metroid: Other M. He is the commander of the Galactic Federation, and once served in the Federation Police. Samus Aran described him as gruff, harsh, and relentless in criticism. He has been hated by critics and gamers alike due to his strict commands to Samus in Metroid: Other M.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Throughout the game, he restricts Samus from using her weapons due to them "being too dangerous". While it makes sense for some items like the Missiles and Super Bombs, it makes no sense for items like the Varia Suit and Grapple Beam.
 * 2) * On top of that, When you're traveling through the Lava Section of the game, he takes an unnecessarily long time to authorize the Varia Suit.
 * 3) He treats Samus like an outsider after they reunite.
 * 4) He also could be seen as sexist, as he says a lady like Samus would get in the way.
 * 5) He has a huge disregard for Samus's safety, as his orders nearly get her killed!
 * 6) He scolded Samus for using missiles, even though she was trying to protect herself!
 * 7) Gameplay-wise, everytime you get a Game Over, you have to hear Adam yell "Samus! What's going on? Respond! Respo–!", which can get rather tiresome and repetitive quickly.

Good Qualities

 * 1) He is WAY more tolerable in Metroid Fusion.
 * 2) His sacrifice is quite emotional.
 * 3) Samus at one point finally got fed up with his orders in Metroid: Other M.
 * 4) Despite his rude attitude towards Samus, they are good friends.
 * 5) He probably want to protect Samus due to his younger brother Ian Malkovich being killed in action, which is understandable
