Adama Glare

This page is silly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

The Adama Glare (also known as the Glare of Death) is a formidable weapon in the arsenal of William Adama, superstar. It is an alternative to Bill Adama's other main weapon, the Shield of Disapproval, activated by sudden eye-aversion.

The Adama Glare is most noticeably used on subversives, traitors, Cylons, and rogue presidents as well as people close to Adama who have screwed up, including family and pilots.

The Adama Glare has the intended effect of accomplishing whatever Bill Adama needs to get done, such as calculating a blind jump... in his sleep, defeating a Cylon army... with one hand tied, skinning Cylons... for couch leather, and other astonishing feats. Legend has it that the pulsating red Cylon eye pulsates so as to avoid direct contact with the awesome power of the Adama Glare. The Adama Glare is presumed to be responsible for the conspicuous absence of New Caprican wildlife. It is also credited for Bill Adama's ability to bring audiences to tears with his acoustic renditions of "All Along the Watchtower".

So far, the only Colonial immune to the Adama Glare is Doc Cottle, who is able to scowl intensely while making important medical decisions.
