History

Some eight-thousand years before the time of the Marvel Family, the wizard Shazam was in Egypt and gave power to Teth-Adam, transforming him into his champion Mighty Adam. Unlike Billy Batson however, the power corrupted Teth-Adam and he turned to evil. He eventually adopted the name Black Adam and became a scourge of the Marvel Family.

  Weaknesses

Because Black Adam has lived for so many centuries in his superhuman form, he cannot risk turning back to a mortal being or else he will instantly revert to his correct chronological age. Uncle Marvel once tricked Black Adam into speaking the magic word "Shazam", and the magic lightning bolt turned him into a withered, ancient skeleton. Black Adam found a way to return to life however, and came back to plague the Marvels.
