We'll see. I'm basing my thoughts on him off that Black Trailer. Unless they downgraded him, his attacks in that trailer were precise, fast and very deadly. He fights like Vergil (DMC3) and Sephiroth (mixed). Hands down one of the best fighting styles in the show. Katana and a shotgun. Badass. If they make him a push over and have him swinging his sword around like he was in the Season 4 intro (which was laughable) then I'll be.... annoyed.

@Terminus: It's just like Superman. Sometimes you gotta show him lose. The same goes for villains. No more how OP they are, it's annoying if all the heroes do is get bitchslapped by them until they win with the power of friendship at the last second of the series. How many fights to a show just have the villain curbstomp heroes while monologuing onl to die when a hero gets one cheap hit in. Not an entertaining fight in my oh-so-humble opinion. If Sienna put a hurting on her or if Adam pulled a fast one on Cinder, that was be a nice curve ball. I honestly thought Merc was gonna do that the first few times I saw him.

I don't want the WF to be villains. Adam can stay a villain, the damage is done, he's gotta pay. But the rest of the WF deserve freedom and equality. Let them do their time in prison (the guilty ones) and spare the rest. I agree though. The trite "Villain kills off pawns effortlessly when they're of no use" ploy is just a quick way to get rid of characters. To turn that trope on it's head and have a group of almost nameless minions get over on Salem and escape because she underestimated them would be a breath of fresh air for my "black" heart. LOL

I think you're right Winter and Adam would be good. But with how ultra fast Adam swings in the Black Trailer wouldn't she not even see his attacks? She had a hard time against Qrow and he was drunk and slow compare to Adam's attack speed. The only way he will be better character beyond cool clothes and fighting style will be if they finally give him some serious screen time. Show him interacting with his followers. Show him before he fell from grace. Show him falling in love with Blake. Show any guilt he felt when he first killed. That builds character.
