Blake is capable of someodd Mach 40ish arm movements, and even she was incapable of landing hits on him. Though Adam can probably be scaled to Adam, there's nothing putting him up to Roman. Actually, let's compare stats.

Adam:

Durability: Took the wallbuster energy cannon.

Speed: Mach 10ish in own feats, Mach 40 by scaling.

Power: Cuts through mecha men, Seeing Red ability is extremely vague in power and relies on too much waiting time to be practical. See: Spirit bomb.

Roman:

Durability: Can be scaled to most other characters due to possession of an aura, lacks notable durability feats, besides taking Blake's sword to the face.

Speed: Mach 45+ for counterblitzing Blake.

Power: Mulches streets with spammable explosives.

Also of note, Roman is a lot more environmentally aware and smarter. Mach 40+ arm movements....

Physics is hard guys. Mach 40 is just under 30,500 miles per hour. At mach 7 you ignite the air behind you out of the sheer friction of your projectile. I get that this is anime but let's not try to bring science into this unless we don't understand ok?
