Adam is actually my third favorite character in RWBY, 11th favorite in all of fiction, and favorite villain. Let me explain, why do I like Adam, while I think Bellwether from Zootopia is one of the worst villains of all time? Simple. The writting. In Zootopia, Bellwether just let years and years of racism make her a terrorist, with no signs of her having made peaceful attempts in the past. This is why I feel Adam is very interesting. He used to be nice and tried to get the equality for Faunus in peaceful ways during Ghira's time as leader, but when Sienna took over and made them a terrorist organization, he saw that the harsh and cruel effect was working, so he adopted a violant mentality. This is why I can actually not only like, but SYMPATHISE with Adam. He comes off as a tortured soul forced to take extreme action, and after peaceful nagotiation failed he became a complete monster, letting humanity's words get to him. This makes him a great parallel to Blake (who is not only my favorite RWBY character, but my favorite character in all of fiction!), as they both have similar goals, but their ways about going around trying to accomplish them are polar opposites. Plus as a villain, I feel he is very effective, as he managed to cripple one of Remnant's strongest fighters (Yang, who is my scond favorite RWBY character, and 6th in all of fiction), and manages to have interesting motives for his actions, a good backstory as to why he is the way he is, as well as being effective.

Overall I really enjoy Adam, and find him one of the show's most complex characters.
