Adam's 'semblance' seems to be storing and releasing energy (with some preparation).

I would wager that Adam's badassery in the trailer is more due to the aura/semblance mechanic rather than him being a faunus.

Pound for pound, there's really nothing to suggest Blake or any other Faunus would be naturally overbearing opponents for any of the known characters. I've discussed elsewhere, Blake actually ranks rather low compared to the killswing on Ruby's scythegun and the control and utility of Weiss' glyphs.
