Freudian Excuses, in TvTropes speech, are to be used to extend a character, to add depth and make them interesting. Not to justify what they do as if they were now free of all guilt, especially if the crime commited is too big.

Mercury had a supposedly abusive father. This could explain his personality to an extent, but it does not excuse or justify Mercury happily helping Cinder send Vale to ruin. There is nothing more stupid and petty than a villain that wants to help doom a nation because "my daddy hit me :C"

Whatever Adam's background is, it does not justify his physical, emotional and psychological abuse of Blake. It does not justify proudly leading a terrorist organization. And it does not justify his desire to drive humanity into extinction.

Besides, you are assuming Ciel, that Adam was a goody twoshoes who became a monster. Well, News Flash: Some people are born monsters, plain and simple.

So Ciel, let me be straight: ''Stop it with this "cry for the devil cause he had a bad childhood" bullshit. A bad childhood, a bad life, is no excuse for anything that he's doing.''
