Quote:DC Universe introduced a new supervillain/antihero in its 2022 film, Black Adam. However, he seems to have much in common with an existing superhero: Shazam. Just like Shazam, Black Adam says the same magic word to give up and reclaim his power.
......
As Black Adam explains, Teth-Adam received his power from the same council of wizards. In DC Comics, he was chosen by the wizard Shazam, who chose Billy Batson to be his champion 5,000 years later. Unlike Billy, Teth-Adam drew his powers from Egyptian gods: Shu, Heru, Amon, Zehuti, Aton and Mehen. However, Shazam's power came from other mythical heroes: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury.
