Centuries ago the same wizard that granted Billy Batson the powers of Shazam! bestowed mystical powers upon a pure-of-heart youth in ancient Egypt. But when the boy tried to share his power to save his dying uncle his uncle stole it and became the legendary Super-Villain known as Black Adam! Black Adam has the same magical abilities as his Super Hero nemesis Shazam! but Adam s powers come from the Egyptian gods. Shu grants him stamina; Heru speed; Amon strength; Zehuti wisdom; Aton power; and Mehen courage. Black Adam can also fly and is virtually invincible.
