History
Biography
Background
Teth-Adam was once the champion of Earth five thousand years ago in ancient Khandaq. Chosen by the wizard Shazam, Adam was given divine magic that turned him into Earth's Mightiest Mortal. However, he became corrupted by his newfound powers and sought to conquer the world and usurp the Wizard's position. He was defeated, and the position of Earth's Champion was given to Billy Batson, who became Shazam. Now Black Adam seeks to destroy both the Wizard and Batson and take the magic of the Rock of Eternity for his own so he may rule the world.
