Black Adam

Black Adam

Black Adam (Teth-Adam) is an extremely powerful anti-hero/villain who ruled Kahndaq. Granted the powers of Egyptian gods by the Wizard (SHAZAM variant), he defended his land but became ruthless after his family’s death by invaders, ruling with an iron fist. Imprisoned for thousands of years and renamed Black Adam. Resurrected in host Theo Adam, he sought to change the world, briefly joined the JSA, then reclaimed and ruled Kahndaq. After his wife Isis’s death, he ignited World War 3, battling the JSA and nations before defeat via power removal. He is ruthless, adhering to eye-for-an-eye justice, and fights lethally without pulling punches unless noted.
