Black Adam

Black Adam is Captain Marvel's nemesis: a dark reflection of the powers of the Egyptian gods. Driven by his constant anger and desire for vengeance, Adam's stamina of Shu, speed of Heru, strength of Amon, wisdom of Zehuit, power of Aton, and courage of Mehu (S.H.A.Z.A.M.) can level cities in a moment.

Background
The original champion of the wizard Shazam during Ancient Egypt, Teth-Adam lost his way after the deaths of his wife and children and used his powers for selfish gain, becoming known as the Black Adam.

Entombed by Shazam, Adam was inadvertently released by the Batson family and has since acted as Captain Marvel’s polar nemesis.

Black Adam's last wave of destruction began World War III. Now, Black Adam broods on the throne of the militant Middle Eastern country of Khandaq, plotting deadly revenge against his enemies.

Warped by loss and tragedy, Black Adam is determined to resurrect his dead love, Isis.
