-'''Adam J. Powell''' (also known as ''Number Six'', and born December 20, 1976 in [[Wikipedia:Wales|Wales]]) is the co-founder of [[Neopets]], who launched the website with [[Donna Williams]] on November 15, 1999, starting from an idea they had in 1997 while sitting in a dingy little computer room, possibly while eating kebabs or pizza.

+'''Adam J. Powell''' (also known as ''Number Six'' and ''[[borovan]]'', and born December 20, 1976 in [[Wikipedia:Wales|Wales]]) is the co-founder of [[Neopets]], who launched the website with [[Donna Williams]] on November 15, 1999, starting from an idea they had in 1997 while sitting in a dingy little computer room, possibly while eating kebabs or pizza. On September 27, 2008, he and [[Donna Williams]] got married after being friends for 12 years.
 Prior to founding Neopets, he was involved in [http://www.shoutad.com Shout! Advertising], a UK-based advertising company which operated the third largest click-through program on the Internet by mid-1999. He also founded ''Powlex'' in March 1997, which designed and sold online banner advertising, and ''Netmagic'' in July 1999, which focused on web page design.
+In 2007, Adam and Donna founded [http://www.meteorgames.com/ Meteorgames].
 Powell is mentioned in the hall of fame at his secondary school, Collingwood College, although he had a self-described "spectacular failure at university." He is also claimed to be a former member of [[Wikipedia:Mensa International|MENSA]] with an [[Wikipedia:Intelligence quotient|IQ]] of 174.

-References to Adam's craving for [[Asparagus]] exist throughout Neopets. If users type "asparagus" on the Neopets search engine, Adam will show up and say, "You can't have it, it's all MINE!", and also appears and says a variation of this when users click on parts of certain games. In [[Whack-A-Staff-Member]], tying "a5paragu5" enlarges the size of the mallet. Also, 4 out of 5 of his Neopets are Asparagus [[Chia]]s (the 5th a Red [[Bori]], usually in a "sad" pose), and all users Neopets become Asparagus Chia on Adam's birthday (may have only been one year).
