Black Adam is a
super-villain and sometimes anti-hero originally written as the evil
counterpart to Captain
Marvel, an ancient Egyptian prince who was given incredible powers by the
wizard Shazam and
survived into the modern era. His legacy would eventually expand to include
the Black Marvel Family involving his wife Isis and her brother Osiris
protecting their native land of Kahndaq. He has been a member of the Justice
Society, Injustice Society, Secret Society of Super-Villains, Suicide Squad
and Monster Society of Evil. Black Adam was created by Otto Binder and
C.C. Beck, first appearing in Marvel Family #1.

Even though I never
cared about this character, Black Adam seems like he had a fairly decent in-game persona and fighting style in the Injustice series. I
still can't say
I'm a fan of his visual design in terms of uniqueness or excitement (he's just a
Superman clone in a similar way to Mortal Kombat's ninjas)... but
nonetheless, I'm sure Black Adam is more interesting to most DC fans.
I never imagined that over a decade after creating this profile for Black Adam,
I'd have to come back to it and comment about THE ROCK. They hyped up that movie
like crazy, got Duane THE ROCK Johnson to play Black Adam... and they still
couldn't sell this character. Movie sequel starring The Rock, canceled. Good job
as usual, DC. Still riding Marvel's coattails I see. Even after all these years, I still don't care
much about this character. However, I do enjoy some of the art!
