To show conflicting beliefs with Blake. Monty confirmed that they shared a 'master-apprentice' relationship, so presumably they used to be quite close.

In addition, Adam is easily one of the most powerful fighters we've seen so far in the show, with a semblance that allows him to withstand a massive laser and follow it up with a devastating blow, meaning he might even be able to defeat Penny if the circumstances dictated that he did so. I can see him becoming an important character in the near future.
