* DomesticAbuser: He behaves abusively towards Blake, blaming her for how he felt after she walked out on him, and blaming her for \"making him\" hurt her in retaliation. He tells her that he will destroy everything she cares about just because she left him. All the time he\'s trying to emotionally beat her down, he displays a calm, implacable determination and peppers his speech with terms of endearment such as \"my love\" or \"my darling\" which contribute to the creepiness of his behaviour. The creators have confirmed that his relationship with Blake was abusive.
* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He seems to have a soft side when he saves Blake during the Black Trailer, but then Season 3 reveals that he\'s violently possessive of her, does not tolerate her walking out on him, and is determined to destroy everything she cared about in retaliation. All the time [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou blaming her]] for making him behave like this.
* KnightOfCerebus: Until his confrontation with Blake at the end of Volume 3, the White Fang has been a somewhat ineffectual organisation in terms of their confrontations with the protagonists, coming off worst each time. That changes during the battle of Beacon when Adam leads a lethal, successful assault on Beacon Academy. He makes it clear to Blake that his goal was never Faunus equality, it\'s about painting the world red with the blood of humans. He stabs her in the stomach just to incite Yang to rage, then cuts off Yang\'s arm. He tries to decapitate Blake as well, but only catches her clone. Angry with Blake\'s abandonment of him in Blake Trailer, he makes it absolutely clear he\'s going to destroy everything she cares about just for walking out on him; as a result, she abandons her team, friends and Vale to go on the run.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Adam wears black trousers and a red top, over which is a black jacket with red designs on the front and back. His gloves and shoes are black, but the shoes have red soles. His hair is red, with either black horns or two black tufts of hair designed to look like horns. His rifle sheathe is black while his sword\'s blade is blood-red. When he activates his power, his hair becomes an even brighter red. His white mask carries intricate red designs. He is one of the leaders that deposed the old guard to drive the White Fang down a path of violent terrorism. He has no problem killing humans, even when he doesn\'t need to and his goal is the destruction of humanity rather than equal rights for Faunus. He regards Blake\'s defection from the White Fang as a personal betrayal and is determined to destroy everything she cares about in revenge. His current behaviour, including victim-blaming her for \"forcing\" him to hurt her, indicates that he is abusive towards her.
* TheSociopath: During the Black Trailer, Adam wants to blow up the train they\'re stealing Dust supplies from. When Blake asks him about the human lives that will be lost, he makes it clear he doesn\'t care, causing her to abandon him and the White Fang. When Team RWBY attempt to stop the train breaching Vale\'s defences, a lot of White Fang are killed in the process. Adam makes it clear to Cinder that he\'ll force the White Fang to keep working with her as if he doesn\'t care about his own people\'s deaths. During the battle for Beacon, he makes it clear to Blake that he\'s not looking for Faunus-Human equality. He\'s out for retribution against the whole of humanity, and he\'s also going to destroy everything Blake has ever cared about as revenge for leaving him. He doesn\'t blame his own violent behaviour for Blake\'s actions, he [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou blames Blake]] for causing him to behave violently towards her.
Ax Crazy focuses exclusively on the accusation of abuse and leaves behind a much deeper issue as he is a terrorist who wants to destroy humanity.
About the abuse:
Jerk with a heart of Trok Jerk seems to mean that even his good attitude in flashbacks was a lie and hid the abuse, without any scene or information that suppot that.
Only in a very, very limited and decontextualized commentary of the staff of the series, in which they say that his behavior only at the end of volume 3 seemed to be abusive.
Some part of the fandom see his battle against Blake and Yang as an irrefutable and very clear proof of his abuse, but this statement is subjective, since he only adds a more personal mark to his resentment. With this logic, any character, man or woman, adult or teenager, good or bad, etc., who felt resentment towards his ex, and faced him/her in a battle, would be abusive. While reading the article, it making his relationship with Blake look like the Joker X Harley Queen relationship, for example, when this relationship, has explicit and everyday scenes that confirm the abuse. I think that we should leave the abuse for a trope that would imply that this may be confirmed in the future but that at the moment does not have a very solid proof.
About that he does not care about his subordinates and that he never wanted justice:
Only a scene of much less than a few seconds where he simply says that they will listen to him without giving any indication of the feelings that he has about that. Taking into account that Cinder forced him to work with her after he wanted to protect his subordinates against her plans, it is more justified to think that he does not have many options against her wishes and clings to his obsession to at least take his revenge against the humanity.
In his battle against Blake and Yang, he expresses that he believes that the peaceful method and the diplomacy will not give any result, so it is more justified to think that he considers that the way to make the world respect the faunnus is the path of violence.
I consider that tropes around \"Society Creates Its Monsters\" and \"Scape Goat\" must be added:
His lines in From Shadows and the signs of how humanity treats the faunnus throughout its history (hunting them as animals and using them as slaves in the mines).
Although the series established the last fact, so far we do not see any scene or dialogue about the corruption and abuse of the Schenee company. Instead we had the White Fang for 4 seasons acting as little more than cardboard villains, which seems to want to establish that the culpability of the racial tensions falls on faunus who do not know how to behave to be deserving of rights. Showing repetitively a fact generates much more impact than saying it in a few seconds.
Adam has been portrayed to be easily hated and easily disposable, despite having appeared and been mentioned from the beginning, has very few relevant dialogues and we have not been shown any flashback of his background. His already minority group is forced to work with the first serious villain and his first most important scene is massacre the favorite character and ship of all.
So it\'s easy to conclude that the series tries to charge him with the final villain cloak. Although the same series has established a racial problem that is much more complex and extended than what can be attributed to a single person who is also a member of the discriminated minority.

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Adam wears black trousers and a red top, over which is a black jacket with red designs on the front and back. His gloves and shoes are black, but the shoes have red soles. His hair is red, with either black horns or two black tufts of hair designed to look like horns. His rifle sheathe is black while his sword\'s blade is blood-red. When he activates his power, his hair becomes an even brighter red. His white mask carries intricate red designs. He is one of the leaders that deposed the old guard to drive the White Fang down a path of violent terrorism. He has no problem killing humans, even when he doesn\'t need to and his goal is the destruction of humanity rather than equal rights for Faunus. He regards Blake\'s defection from the White Fang as a personal betrayal and is determined to destroy everything she cares about in revenge. His current behaviour, including victim-blaming her for \"forcing\" him to hurt her, indicates that he is abusive towards her.
* TheSociopath: During the Black Trailer, Adam wants to blow up the train they\'re stealing Dust supplies from. When Blake asks him about the human lives that will be lost, he makes it clear he doesn\'t care, causing her to abandon him and the White Fang. When Team RWBY attempt to stop the train breaching Vale\'s defences, a lot of White Fang are killed in the process. Adam makes it clear to Cinder that he\'ll force the White Fang to keep working with her as if he doesn\'t care about his own people\'s deaths. During the battle for Beacon, he makes it clear to Blake that he\'s not looking for Faunus-Human equality. He\'s out for retribution against the whole of humanity, and he\'s also going to destroy everything Blake has ever cared about as revenge for leaving him. He doesn\'t blame his own violent behaviour for Blake\'s actions, he [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou blames Blake]] for causing him to behave violently towards her.
Ax Crazy focuses exclusively on the accusation of abuse and leaves behind a much deeper issue as he is a terrorist who wants to destroy humanity.
About the acussation of abuse:
Jerk with a heart of Trok Jerk seems to mean that even his good attitude in flashbacks was a lie and hid the abuse, without any scene or information that suppot that.
Only in a very, very limited and decontextualized commentary of the staff of the series, they say that his behavior only at the end of volume 3 seemed to be abusive.
Some part of the fandom see his battle against Blake and Yang as an irrefutable and very clear proof of his abuse but this statement is subjective, since he only adds a more personal mark to his resentment. With this logic , any character, man or woman, adult or teenager, good or bad, etc., who felt resentment towards his ex, and faced him/her in a battle, would be abusive.
While reading the article, it making his relationship with Blake look like Joker X Harley Queen relationship, for example, when this relationship, has explicit and everyday scenes that confirm the abuse.
I think that we should leave the abuse for a trope that would imply that this may be confirmed in the future but that at the moment does not have a very solid proof.
About the accusation that he does not care about the lives of his subordinates and that he never wanted justice for the fauns:
Only a scene of much less than a few seconds where he simply says that they will listen to him without giving any indication of the feelings that he has about that. Taking into account that Cinder forced him to work with her after he wanted to protect his subordinates against her plans, it is more justified to think that he does not have many options against her wishes and clings to his obsession to at least take his revenge against the humanity.
In his battle against Blake and Yang, he expresses that he believes that the peaceful method and the diplomacy will not give any result, so it is more justified to think that he considers that the way to make the world respect the faunnus is the path of violence.
On the other hand, I consider that tropes around \"Society Creates Its Monsters\" and \"Scape Goat\" must be added:
His lines in From Shadows and the signs of how humanity treats the faunnus throughout its history (hunting them as animals and using them as slaves in the mines).
Although the series established the last fact, so far we do not see any scene or dialogue about the corruption and abuse of the Schenee company. Instead we had for 4 seasons the the White Fang acting as little more than cardboard villains, which seems to want to establish that the culpability of the racial tensions falls on faunus who do not know how to behave to be deserving of rights. Showing repetitively a fact generates much more impact than saying it in a few seconds.
Adam has been portrayed to be easily hated and easily disposable, despite having appeared and been mentioned from the beginning, has very few relevant dialogues and we have not been shown any flashback of his background. His already minority group is forced to work with the first serious villain and his first most important scene is massacre the favorite character and ship of all. So it\'s easy to conclude that the series tries to charge him with the final villain cloak.
