==On Neopets==
Adam's Neopets account is [http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=borovan borovan], a name taken from a late-80s sketch on British Saturday morning TV featuring the comedians [[Wikipedia:Trevor and Simon|Trevor and Simon]]. In this account, he has a total of 5 Neopets, +1 the maximum amount users are allowed to have. It is also through this account users try to match their [[Neopoint]]s value exactly with his (viewable at the [http://www.neopets.com/aboutus.phtml About Us] page) to recieve an [[Avatar]] which shows off the top of his head.
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).
Adam's nickname '''Number Six''' is taken from the 60s show ''[[Wikipedia:The Prisoner|The Prisoner]]'', and is used to signify him when participating in [[plot]]s or certain [[item]]s (such as the '''Number Six [[Plushie]]''', an [[Advent Calendar]] prize on December 20th, 2004).
Adam occasionally visits the [[PinkPT]] forum to interact with users and keep tabs on how they view new features, listen to suggestions on how to improve the website, and sometimes share features before they are released.

Adam J. Powell (also known as Number Six, and born December 20, 1976 in 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 currently focuses on the technical and programming aspects of Neopets, and is still the head of developers for the game.

Prior to founding Neopets, he was involved in 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.

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 MENSA with an IQ of 174.

Powell has two cats in California called Sarah and Chani. In the United Kingdom he has four cats called Oscar, Daisy, Bill and Ben.
