Adam seems to be a leader, but there is a cat-like Faunus in the trio (tiger faunus maybe), maybe that's Sienna Khan (since Shere Khan was a tiger). I've heard that idea before, that Sienna alludes to Shere Khan......why is it a thing? What makes people think it could allude to Shere Khan and not another Khan like, say, Gengis Khan? Allusions can include historical characters, after all.

I think Adam's main weakness will be long range attacks. He has a sword and a shotgun. But for fast moving or long range enemies those aren't good choices. No doubt he has tactics to get in close on foes. But if he's besieged by lots of long range combatants (like Blake, Sun, and Blake's parents) I doubt he'd be able to drop them all. He'd likely have to retreat. 1-He's very fast, so he can close in on someone easily, making long ranged attacks not effective.

2-He can block bullets with no problem.

3-Sun's gunchucks are not designed for long-range combat, but for short-ranged shots.

4-We know nothing about Blake's parents, much less their weapons, if they have any.

Overall, that point is nulled because Adam is indeed not weak to long-range attacks. Hell, not even things like hyper beams work.
