Origin of Black Adam – Possessor of the power of the wizard Shazam

Recently, Warner Bros. released the official trailer for Black Adam, revealing many details surrounding this character’s journey. Most of all, we can see Adam’s past, and Yasha thinks the origin of this character in the film will be based on the biography of Black Adam since the New 52 era. So who is this character?



Once upon a time, when ancient Egypt was still ruled by bad guys, Teth Adam and his nephew Adam – his only living relative – fought them together to escape a miserable life. this. However, like the fate of other poor people, Adam was later fatally stabbed by the guards. However, Aman was determined not to leave his uncle and save him.



While trying to escape the underground prisons, they were teleported into the Rock of Eternity by Mamaragan/witch Shazam. Noticing the boy’s purity, Mamaragan offered Aman to be his new Champion. To save Adam’s life, the boy accepted the power of Shazam and the mission to free Kahndaq. Thanks to Shazam’s ability to share his power with family members, Adam was restored to his original state. The two then returned to their homeland to carry out a messianic mission.


However, both of them have different views. Aman believes that he can save the dictators, bring peace, prevent bad things, while Adam wants to destroy them and avenge his loved ones. Afraid that Aman’s methods would not work, while he chanted “Shazam”, Adam suppressed his pain and then shot his own nephew to take that power for his own, thinking it was necessary for the sake of the cause. great.


Since then, the lightning only hit Adam and he had the strength to perform a series of glorious feats. He defeated the dictators and the Seven Deadly Sins, successfully liberated Kahndaq and destroyed the forces that dared to threaten the Earth. However, later on, he “turned the car”, sent all the members of the Council of Eternity, and then Mamaragan controlled and sealed him.


In the 10th century, a trio of characters including the warrior queen Hippolyta of the Amazons (mother of the future Wonder Woman), the medieval Swamp Thing (the avatar of The Green), and the Viking Prince, had to confront an unprecedented threat. It was a monster named Frost King, a metahuman whose real name was Edward Olafsson.



With the power to open a new ice age in the world, engulfing the entire planet in cold, wind, and blizzard, Frost King made this team falter. To turn the situation around, they persuaded the reluctant Mamaragan to release Teth-Adam, to strengthen this squad. This is the forerunner of the Justice League.


Thanks to Adam’s presence, they defeated the Frost King and imprisoned him in the frozen land below present-day Lonely Fortress. However, after the battle, this group of superheroes and Mamaragan … flipped the umbrella, combined forces to control it, and then performed the sealing magic again, believing that only punishment would make him worthy of the power. is bestowed.


In the modern era, Thaddeus Sivana broke the seal and Black Adam was resurrected. The first thing he wanted to do was kill Billy Batson because he knew he was empowered by Mamaragan and helped awaken the Seven Deadly Sins to gain more allies. With overwhelming strength, he easily killed the entire Shazam family until Billy tricked him back into his human form for a fair fight.


Until then, the unexpected truth was revealed. That is, although Black Adam’s body was immortal, his mortal form was not. Since thousands of years have passed, when he returned to his human form, Adam’s real body immediately disintegrated into dust. To let Adam die in peace, Shazam scattered his ashes over the Kahndaq desert so he could become one with his homeland.


After this event, a group of extremist rebels known as the Sons of Adam collected all of the ashes and then performed a resurrection spell, and replaced the power path of the old gods in his body with Egyptian gods. Waking up from a long slumber, Adam ended the dictatorship and became Kahndaq’s protector once more. At some point, Adam married Adrianna Tomaz, but she later died forever protecting Khandaq.


Since then, Adam has just accepted the responsibility of taking care of people’s lives (including… gathering with Santa Claus so that Kahndaq children can receive gifts), against a number of objects capable of causing harm to the people. Earth but also occasionally “skewer” superheroes. But day by day, Adam was more and more affected by the words of his late wife, so that after the battle with Brutus, he joined the Justice League.


However, in the film, Aman seems to have changed his role to Adam’s “son” instead of grandson, and he has accepted to give up his own future to save his father before the event that Adam met Mamaragan. However, I’m still not sure how things will change, so let’s wait until the movie comes out!
