Proto fal'Cie Adam (boss)

Proto Fal'Cie Adam is a boss in Final Fantasy XIII-2. A man-made fal'Cie created as a result of Proto Fal'Cie Project in 13 AF. It was supposed to act as a power source for Cocoon to make it float again. It somehow travelled back in time to 13 AF and influenced the AI responsible for its creation, therefore creating a loop and becoming a paradox itself. By doing so, it couldn't be destroyed as it ensured its creation and would always reappear after defeat. Only after Serah blamed Hope for this situation, it vanished for good. It was later revelaed that it was recorded by the Oracle Drive. Hope, seeing Serah and Noel's fight against the Proto Fal'Cie, decided to abandon the project.

Trivia

 * Fragment obtained after defeating Proto fal'cie Adam states that several memory modules previously belonging to fal'Cie Eden were used in its creation. This may possibly explain why Adam wanted to obtain full power of the fal'Cie and desired to rule over people of Academia.
 * It is possilbe that Adam was also influenced by some Pulse fal'Cie as it looks like Anima. Also, in Academia 400 AF it transforms people into Pulse Cie'th rather than Sanctum Cie'th.
