Black Adam - The Champion of Kahndaq

Teth-Adam is the former champion of the Council of Wizards. After his son Hurut was made the Council’s champion to liberate Kahndaq, he gave his wounded father the powers. After Hurut was subsequently killed by assassins of King Anh-Kot, Adam slaughtered his court and nearly destroyed Kahndaq itself; this led to him facing down with the Council of Wizards, nearly all of whom he killed, bar Shazam, who imprisoned him. Some five thousand years later, he was released by Adrianna Tomaz to help liberate Kahndaq, eventually referring to himself as Black Adam, to better suit modern times.
