Captain Marvel, having apparently inherited the wizard Shazam?s power after the Spectre slew him, was roughly rebuked when he sought the gods? intercession with Black Adam during the events of 52.

Nor was Shazam apparently able to repeat the feat in the modern age. While the wizard was able to initially displace the powers into an amulet, this was clearly not sufficient to keep Adam from eventually reclaiming them. This is a significant distinction insofar as the gods seem to have shown reluctance to abandon their avatar, even when his magical patron would clearly rather have removed his gift. They are magical insofar as it was the Wizard Shazam who originally provided the link to the gods who empower Black Adam, but the powers themselves come directly from the six gods who lend their puissance to him.


These powers are both magical and divine in nature. He is as strong, fast, durable, powerful, knowing, and as possessed of inner strength as six gods who are pinnacles of those qualities. Essentially, he is gifted with six attributes of particular gods who are exemplars of them. Though out of the bunch, Cyclone's seems a clear step below the likes of Hawkman or even Teth-Adam himself.Black Adam is gifted with a panoply of powers that appear to correspond to and match, if not exceed, those of Captain Marvel.

#BLACK ATOM SERIES#
The Hollywood Reporter revealed a four-issue tie-in comic series for Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam that is set to start hitting shelves in July. Each issue will have a variant cover focusing on each member of the team. While all of that remains true, there is one character whose costume looks undeniably like Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool, so much so that it’s a little strange. Their designs give each character a distinct appearance. Its membership in the upcoming film seems pretty small, however.įour names make up the roster-at least, those ones the public knows. The famous group is basically an offshoot of the Justice League, as the name would suggest. As exciting as it is to see him in action, it’s another group that might interest others the most: the Justice Society of America. The character flips the script a little by being a big-time anti-hero and not a straight-up superhero as nearly all of the other characters who have had a solo movie. Fans are anxiously awaiting their next foray into the DCEU, which will be with none other than Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam.
