1-Nonetheless, for me it is the most logical step, in a storytelling sense. Blake talking about how he gradually became more and more violent, and the White Fang becoming a force of terror. Sure, nothing textual explicitly states what I do, but since this is all the parts we get, and this is how they allign easily, looking for alternate answers seems to me like looking for excuses.

2-As for the flashback, Adam says, they could have tried others, and he brings up amoral hunters and criminals, not other factions. In fact, I don't recall anyone mentioning fractions.

3-He says they came to him, it was a mistake, the White Fang doesn't serve human causes. How is that not implying that he speaks for them?

4-When Mercury mentions that not many WF members made it out from the tunnels, he says they will listen to him, and they do.That, to me in itself enough proof that he is the leader. 1-This logic assumes that the WF became more violent because Adam became more violent. But it's perfectly reasonable to say that Adam became more violent as the WF became more violent first. It's often like that, actually.

You assume A became B because C became D, when it can easily be that C became D because A became B.

2-For starters, we were shown multiple WF leaders, about 3 if I recall correctly. As silhouettes, sure, but still. "Could have tried others", sounds to me like "Could have tried others not part of the WF, people who would actually help a human". Not "could have tried other factions of the WF".

3-Simple, it's not implying he speaks for them. He was just explaining what is pretty much obvious: The WF are terrorist who despise and are against humanity, of course it doesn't serve human causes. Adam simply happened to be the one who said it. That is all.

It's like explaining to a stranger that the slaughterhouse you work at does not sell pets.

4-Again, faction leader. As in, leads the WF forces in Vale, at least most of them. But it's different "faction leader" than "leader". Take it like this: You got a company with 4 branches. Each branch has a director that oversees it and it's pretty much their leader, but you are the top dog, the leader of said leaders. That's the difference: Adam is, most likely, just a faction leader, the leader of a branch, not the whole organization.

And if not, then he's simply a member with enough influence to convince many of the other members to his cause, leader or not. Happens often.
