1) I think you see Adam like the quiet insane. Not the whooping yelling laughing insane as Tyrian or Joker are.

2a) Peter Port wasn't really flirting with the students.

2b) Ozpin is preparing the students for the harsh word so he's fine too.

2c)Though I have a bad feeling like one of the reasons Raven left might be something bad Tai did. Maybe he cheated on her with Summer.

3) Didn't know about Oz's age. The thing that seems the most enigmatic about Oz was the World of Remnant vid where they end it with his silohette and say "...more than just a man." It it implies all other hunters are more than mere men and women and somehow that's all Oz is. 1-Yeah, pretty much. Not obviously raving mad, but still insane nonetheless.

21-It's mostly the way he said "Huntresses" in that episode.

2b-He's training teenagers with attitude to fight a war against an entity they don't even know exists. Using them to win his war, even if with some regret. Even the Ozluminati barely knows much, what with his "I won't tell you anything nor give you reasons to trust me, but trust me". He's not a saint, that's all I meant.

2c-Raven left right after Yang was born (or at least a few days later). Left him with the child, and has expressed no care or concern for either. Pretty sure she left for her own reasons, not anything Taiyang did.

3-Yes, that's part of the implications. The other is that he's supposed to not fit CNR because "reasons", according to Monty. (though Ozpin means Vinegar in Basque, so they kinda failed at it) The CNR, In-universe, was made after the Great War.....which happened about 80 years before RWBY begins.

Now, the line "more than just a man" doesn't mean they are superhuman automatically, but rather that they can become so. Jaune wasn't any better than an average joe with his Aura unlocked, it took/takes him training for months to even get results.

As for how Ozpin has lived for so long, there are theories. "Time is a thing" with Ozpin, and he has Time Dilatation, so that could be it.

Another theory is Aura: It doesn't heal, it simply boosts the body's self-recovery and protects. As a result, Aura would slow down the body decay that happens as one ages, which is effectively the same as extending one's lifespan.
