To be a decent fighter, you typically need to be sane. That's a prerequisite that Adam is quickly losing. It did so poorly, yeah Blake now accepts help okay, but it did nothing of the sort for Adam. The odds were stacked so overwhelmingly against him within barely a minute that anybody would snap. He and his troops are outnumbered and surrounded, his bombs don't work anymore and his ally basically said "it's your problem." (dick move of Hazel by the way, considering the graveness of the situation for the entire plan, although admittably he had his own hands full). You don't need to be power hungry or psychotic or even obsessed with something in order to snap in such a situation, the pure despair such a situation would instill into you would be more than sufficient.
