To be completely honest, I disagree with how they handled Adam overall, especially with how their usage of them connects with their failure to adequately show Faunus discrimination and give us real reasons to believe it was actually a serious thing. The SDC scar on his eye feels like a side note because of how his story became more and more about a psychotic ex.

I wanted Adam to be part of them showing actual Faunus discrimination, with a storyline of someone who may be too fargone in his inability to forgive Humans for what has been done to him and others around him. I didn't mind the part with him being hurt by Blake leaving. If anything, it acted as something to push him even further into pain-fueled madness. But the whole thing about him being consumed by hatred spawned by discrimination he and others faced got pushed to the side across Volumes 5 and 6.

I disagree with how they handled Adam, but I'm not going to go so far as to say that what happened wasn't supposed to happen. If it was part of their plan, it was part of their plan, and it was badly done.
