Judging from the first trailer, Dwayne Johnson’s anti-hero in the upcoming Black Adam could essentially be immortal.
The teaser touches on Teth-Adam’s comic book history as a slave in the ancient nation of Kahndaq, and puts a lot of emphasis on his power level in the film.
In the comics, Teth-Adam was given the powers of the gods and used them to mercilessly exact revenge on the oppressors of Teth-Adam and his people.
Like Billy Batson, Teth-Adam transformed into Black Adam using the spell “SHAZAM!”
In the comics, Black Adam is also an invincible character with few weaknesses.
The more than 2-minute trailer focuses on introducing Black Adam – a god, superhero, or anti-hero who will play an important role in the future of the DC Cinematic Universe.
Black Adam was an ancient Egyptian slave who received the powers of the Wizard Shazam.
As for the character’s origins, Teth-Adam was originally a slave in Kahndaq, where nearly his entire family was killed by dictators – all except his nephew Aman, who
After sharing their powers and healing Adam, they decided to return to Kahndaq and think about how to use their powers to free the people.
Black Adam first came to the world’s readers through the comic book Marvel Family #1 (1945) published by Fawcett Comics.
This was especially enhanced when DC acquired a series of Fawcett’s character rights, turning Black Adam into an archenemy with Shazam even though the two have appeared together relatively rarely over the past decades.
