Marvel Comics

Commander Adama is informed that Apollo and Zac's Vipers were under attack by then-unknown forces ^{(Comics: Annihilation!)}.

Adama is Galactica's commander during the Battle of Cimtar, and the Caprican representative to the Quorum of Twelve. Upon his return from the last meeting of President Adar's Quorum, he learns of an engagement of his sons' craft by a then-unknown force and fails to successfully advocate for a defensive posture to Adar. Adama, buoyed by Athena's suggestion, engages Galactica in battlestations drills that allow the battlestar the dubious honor of being the only surviving battlestar from the Cylons' sneak attack.

Upon realizing that no basestar support exists at Cimtar, Adama orders a return to Caprica to defend the Colonies from attack, but is too late. His surviving son, Apollo, ferries Adama to their family home on Caprica: it is a burnt-out carcass, and Adama believes his wife, Ila, to be deceased.

From the foothills of Caprica, the sorrowful Adama advocates for the survivors to set sail in every assorted craft that can carry them, and gives them a destination for their exodus from the Twelve Colonies of Man: the thirteenth colony, Earth ^{(Comics: Annihilation!)}.

[[File:|300px|Commander Adama]]

Adama is the commander of the battlestar Galactica and military leader of the fugitive Fleet.

In the aftermath of an engine malfunction aboard Freighter Eighteen, Adama orchestrates the rescue of its passengers. He later devises a counter-plan against the Cylons by reverse-engineering their own impulse microvator technology. During the crisis, he personally captures the Cylon-controlled Captain Heffren by knocking him unconscious (^{(Comics: Look-In Magazine: Storyline 1)}).

When a promising planet named Thar is discovered, Adama leads Galactica to investigate. After his son Apollo disappears on the planet, a Council of War votes to attack a mysterious alien ship against his wishes. Trusting Athena's intuition that Apollo is alive, Adama countermands the order and calls off the attack (^{(Comics: Look-In Magazine: Storyline 2)}).

Adama manages the Fleet's response to an outbreak of Parahelial Fever, and later receives an ultimatum from the Imperious Leader when Apollo is captured along with the transport Orestes (^{(Comics: Look-In Magazine: Storyline 3)}).

After losing contact with an exploratory mission to the planet Zaroak, Adama dispatches a rescue party led by Boomer (^{(Comics: Look-In Magazine: Storyline 4)}).
