Black Adam has had quite a superhero career. Black Adam was one of many villainous opposites of Captain Marvel, a hero who fought a lot of villains who said magic words that gave them powers. First appearing in 1945, Black Adam would become a staple of the early Captain Marvel adventures, although compared to Doctor Sivana, he was strictly second-tier as a villain. Eventually, DC Comics would sue Fawcett Publications over Captain Marvel, mostly just to destroy their only competition, as Captain Marvel comics were outselling Superman. DC won the case and gained control of the Shazam legacy, which of course included Black Adam.Over the years, Black Adam has gone through a lot of changes. In the pre-Crisis years, he was a simplistic villain. Black Adam post-Crisis would become even more important to the Shazam mythos in the classic The Power Of Shazam! series, but as the 21st century dawned, Black Adam would undergo multiple changes. There have been multiple eras of Black Adam in DC and classic Fawcett comics, each one with its own particular foibles. As with anything, there are some versions of Black Adam who are just plain better than others, and they’ve helped the character become even more popular than ever.In this origin, Teth-Adam and his nephew were chosen to share the power of Shazam and help free Kahndaq. However, Teth-Adam ended up killing his nephew so he could keep all the power and went on to become the hero Mighty Adam who helped free his people. It was such an odd choice, seemingly made to kill off the fan goodwill Black Adam had built up over the years so he could just be a straight-up villain again. This version of the character appeared throughout the New 52 and the early Rebirth years and wasn’t as popular or well-liked as the previous or forthcoming versions.
