Under what circumstances? We only have what we saw in his short and an SDC logo branded on his eye, the latter of which could well have been caused by an accident (which would be far more believable than, say, someone as PR-obsessed as Jacques actively branding his workers like property and risking obliterating the SDC's reputation).

What do we have about his short? That even in the WF's peaceful days, he was perfectly willing to kill people. But he felt (I assume) bad about it when Ghira told him "that is bad". But then Sienna said "that is good". And apparently that's all it took for him to become a sociopathic Faunus supremacist.

....Except that part of the short is no excuse. "Sienna said he was a hero when he killed humans so he believed he was a hero whenever he killed humans", something like that only works if you believe Adam has the mentality of a fucking 8 year old.

And of course, nothing in the short or whatever happened to him offscreen justifies his relationship with Blake, which was outright stated by the writers to have been abusive and in fact his short supports their statement.

So tell me, under what circumstances would anyone:

1) Chase down and try to kill their ex and/or their family just for leaving them.

2) Happily murder people without a second thought just because of their race.

3) Be willing to cripple an entire nation just because of 1 race in it out of many.

4) Be happy to do it again.

5) Think genocide is a good idea.

And 6) Murder anyone who disagrees in your face.

Because based on what we know and have seen of Adam, the only way anyone would "become a monster" is if they were already a monster.
