(This is seen as one, and maybe the most, popular and iconic Garbage Pail Kids characters.) Many cards in later series imitated Adam Bomb. The card itself has been reprinted in ANS1. Multiple variations on the card exist in the Flashback series, and the card was paid homage to by Topps' "Trash Can Trolls" card series as well.

Trivia
Adam Bomb was such an iconic Garbage Pail Kids character that he has appeared on the wrapper for the first five series. Despite being the apparent mascot of the Garbage Pail Kids, he was completely absent in The Garbage Pail Kids Movie and the unaired cartoon. The most likely reason for his absence in the movie is because of the tight budget (however, though this is never confirmed, it's possible he was one of the other unseen Garbage Pail Kids mentioned in the film, besides Ultra Violet and Banana Anna). He may have been absent from the cartoon because it was feared he may be too violent due to his head bursting open with a mushroom cloud.
