Now I know your first thought is, shipping Blake and Yang and wanting to trash all over Adam. However let's put the rather...ravid shipping in the series and look at it from a more objective view point. Granted I like Adam but I want to set my biased aside to put the few points that want me to believe he can be saved from his dark path of human hatred.

- He wasn't always like this, as we learned from Blake in Volume two he wasn't a bad guy from the start. He became more violent over time until he stopped excusing his reason to kill people that by the time of the train bust, Adam was jaded and uncaring of innoccent bystandars in his war against humanity.

-He cares for the people under his command, as we saw when Cinder first approahced Adam. He did not care to put the lives of his men for "a human cause." He said his army was one of freedom fighters not some mercenary group for hire.

-He believes in his cause, to him what he does is justified. Fighting fire with fire like some people like to always say. Like a certain...ahem current political runer who wants to fight fire with fire and commit warcrimes. Adam is the very personification of fight fire with fire. He is fighting cruelty and hatred with more cruelty and hatred. People see it misguided but those same people are the ones that sometimes say fight fire with fire. Well there you have it that's the true face of fighitng fire wiht fire you create monsters from hatred and despair.

So with these three reasons i believe Adam can be put back in the path of...good or good-ish. My source on why this could work is Avatar the Last Air Bender. Zuko as we know wasn't a bad guy but simply had a shitty life and situation that led him to betraying his uncle and friends.
