"What'd I tell you about over-pouring? Your breakage is higher than any other bartender."
"I'm cultivating loyal customers."
"You're cultivating tips and ass. Stick to the measurements."
Gus and Stirling Adams[src]

Stirling Adams was a former bartender to a night club and Jessica Jones' boyfriend. While trying to start up his Club Alias, Adams fell into debt with Wyatt who had begun threatening him. When Wyatt learnt of Jones' own superhuman abilities, however, he and Adams agreed to use Jones for their own benefits, which enraged Jones' estranged mother Alisa Jones, who furiously murdered Adams.

Biography[]

Meeting Jessica Jones[]

Quitting in Style[]

"You can't even manage to show up here on time, let alone run a business. Stick to the measurements."
"Tell you what. Take one more dig at me, see how long I stick around."
"Is that a threat, asshole?"
"Not anymore. Severance."
Gus and Stirling Adams[src]

During one night at his workplace, Stirling tended to serving Dorothy Walker, complimenting her appearance and providing her a drink. Briefly, he introduced him to and conversed with Jessica Jones before he was pulled aside by Gus, heckled for skewing from the serving measurements. After warning his boss over the warnings, Stirling announced that he was quitting, taking a bottle of whiskey with him as he left.

Waiting outside the bar, he called out to Jones and asked if she wished to join him in sharing the whiskey.[1]

Wyatt's Threat[]

"I want my money. With interest."
"Hey, back off, Wyatt! Don't trip, man. I'm serious. We're close."
"Yeah, but you're not close enough, asswipe."
Wyatt and Stirling Adams[src]

A month later, Jessica Jones and Adams were kissing outside as he tried to guess her middle name. He then took her license and found it was Campbell, her mother's middle name. They kissed some more before he suggested that she gets a new leather jacket. She proceeded to use her powers to steal a jacket from the store next to them. They ate breakfast later when Wyatt, Adams' business partner came in. He demanded money because he has not gotten his bar up and running yet. Adams told them it was going to happen, but they did not believe him. Wyatt pushed him down, but was forced out by Jones, who revealed her powers.[1]

A Promising Offer[]

"She loves me, dude. She'll do anything I ask her to."
"That's my man!"
"One condition. I get a quarter of whatever you collect."
―Stirling Adams and Wyatt[src]

Adams met with Jessica Jones in the bar, but was late because he lost his keys. When she went to the restroom, he went outside and found Wyatt, who offered to forget the debt in exchange for Jones and her powers. Adams agreed to the terms.

Adams walked back towards the bar when he encountered a mysteriously angry woman; shoved back into the alley, he was scolded by her about selling Jones to Wyatt, unable to be reasoned. Eventually, the mysterious woman bashed his head into the brick wall repeatedly until he was unresponsive, his body dropping to the ground as he bled out. His body was found by Jones moments later.[1]

Legacy[]

Jones' Reaction[]

Wyatt and his gang were arrested by the cops because bystanders saw Adams leave the bar with them. Jessica Jones called Trish Walker for 24 hours with no response. She soon found a high Walker in the restroom about to give oral sex to Gus. She got Walker off of drugs and they reconciled, becoming sisters again.[1]

Alias Investigations[]

Jessica Jones named her private investigation business Alias Investigations after the club name that Adams chose for his upcoming bar: Club Alias.[1]

Personality[]

"Is snake charmer on your resume?"

Jessica Jones and Stirling Adams[src]
