Because he's not inherently bad, Like Blake said he feels all his actions are vindicated. All the pain he causes to humans to him it's justice for his own and no doub't his people's pain. He won't let anyone hurt Blake though of that you can be certain. He want's that to himself. he wants to hurt her because he feels very much betrayed. From what I gathered he's actually quite the idealist. Think about it he joined Cinder because he was coerced it was join or die. He worked along side them for the sake of his own ideals, however. He swallowed the pill that no doubt eats away at him but anything in the name of the cause. What he believes it's right. Everyone is just saying hes a villain or evil, antagonist maybe but evil? No way, he thinks what he's doing is for the best for his people.

To him humanity is worth punishing and I think he's getting to the point of subjigating humanity. If not outright kill them all. However that is something we must wait and see will he seek eradication or will he realize his overzealous ideals will only bring him to ruin? God I wish Monty was alive to see how awesome his creation is. Adam isn't evil in the archetype everyone seems to put him in. He's an idealist to him he is leading a revolution for justice and to gain power to the disenfranchised. He isn't some god complex villain tryin to rule the world. He's not a psychopathic murderer who kills out of some sort of pleasure from it. Granted he enjoys hurting humans, but again this is born from his belief they deserve it.

Right sorry about writing this book but this man said it best.

“Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.” -Friedrich Nietzsche Redeeming Adam is pretty much a no go if for the simple reason he's unstable and an abuser (as said by Miles himself). Abusers are not good people. They aren't idealists, they aren't misguided. That's where I have to disagree with you, from what I saw in the wiki and, my own observations he's not unstable at all. Where does unstable come from? I want you to give me an example where he is 'unstable' weather mentally or emotionally since he's consistent in his manner the entire time he has had screen time.

To my point again this is only if this whole Beuty and Beast thing is what theyre going for. He has redeemable qualities that show he's not lost. He seems to care for his people and strongly believes in the cause.

To draw a comparison, he's like Jet from Avatar the Last Airbender. He's an idealist a man fighting for a cause. He argued his own vision agains't Blakes during the last confrontation. When she said she didn't want violence but equality, he defended his own views with determination. He isn't 'gone' he simply is very misguided in his belief.

Also he seem to hold some sort of grudge twoards huntsmen. Weather it's because of Blake's choice to leave or because he was wronged by one when he was younger i'm none the wiser.
