Adam Baker was a humble geneticist, studying the effects of radioactivity on the Irradiates of Burning Sands, when he fell victim to a bizzare accident in the field. His flesh was bonded with the earth around him on a molecular level, granting him amazing strength. After working with Greenskin's top engineers to design a suit of armor, he still works at the base... But now as Quake, the Unstoppable Force!

Origins
The accident which give birth to Adam's current form is still a mystery. However, the following is publicly known: When Dr. Baker and his team were performing field studies in Burning Sands to discover the biological effects radiation has on Irradiates, something (or someone) tampered with their equipment. The equipment which was intended to let them study the radiation-infested wasteland from a safe distant malfunctioned, causing Adam to venture out to fix it.
On his way to the device, Dr. Baker was ambushed by a band of Irradiates. He was quickly outnumbered, but he was able to play possum until they left his body alone. Finally making his way to the machine, his body was badly hurt from their attack. As he began working on the machine, the evidence of tampering became apparent to him.
In interviews and reports, this is the last thing Adam remembers. Soon after he began working, his team (watching from a safe distance) saw a flash of green. They immediately sent a rescue team toward the machine, fearing the worst. What they found was something far more interesting... Adam's body had bonded with the earth around him, and he had actually grown stronger.
After returning to the base for debriefing, and discovering that he now possessed incredible strength, Adam decided to serve Project Greenskin in a new way. Working with engineers to build a special suit of armor, he began his life as Quake, the enforcer of earth!
