Adam is the best RWBY character and made for an excellent villain with how radical his views were. He started off as a hero and then eventually his obsessions turned him over to the dark side. He’s someone that Ironwood will have to be careful not to become. The two of them certainly would not get along in the slightest as it would be order vs anarchy, but right now Adam would have the clear advantage. He’s still one of the strongest characters in the series and 1 on 1 would not lose to almost anyone. Adam Taurus wins.
