An interesting aspect to note is the name of the protagonist; Adam Jenson. It is no accident that his name is Adam. It is a reference to the Adam from Adam and Eve, the first human. Deus Ex is full of religious reference. The name itself is short for the Latin phrase "deus ex machina", literal meaning being "God from the machine". It's extremely apt name given the story and world created by the developers. There are a lot more references to religion throughout the DX universe, for example, the name JC from the first game. Adam, in this case, is a reference to the first real human to get augmented without any side effects from the augmentations, like needing neuropazine to function properly. He is the first in line that will be the birth of augmentation technology and its wide spread acceptance in the world. Which is why my first theory put forth is that he is Patient X, the donor for Megan's research. It's probably why Megan has a relationship with him in the first place. But all these secrets will be revealed later in the game, either true or false.
