Black Adam

It ’s official : Black Adamis coming to the big concealment , and he is n’t coming alone . He ’ll be joined , in some capacity , by theJustice Society of America , which will includeAtom Smasher , Doctor Fate , Hawkman , and Cyclone . But just how does the first superhero squad broker into Black Adam ’s account ?

Black Adam first appeared inThe Marvel Family#1 in 1945 as the devolve predecessor to Shazam ( who , back then , was known asCaptain Marvel ) . fateful Adam would be a frequent enemy of Captain Marvel and his ally , and eventually do conflict with the modern - day JSA after joining their nefarious counterparts , the Injustice Society . However , it was ultimately revealed that much of Black Adam ’s noisome act were committed at the behest of Theo Adams , a mortal who wielded the power of Black Adam similar to the way Billy Batson did with Captain Marvel . free from the influence of Theo Adam , Black Adam would reform and join the rank of a clearly hesitating Justice Society inJSA#21 in 2002 . Black Adam ’s out - date views on violence made him an outspoken mate to say the least , but he easy became an recognised horse barn of the team , building a friendly relationship with the once - unbelieving Atom Smasher in the physical process . Unfortunately , his tenure at the Justice Society would amount to a sudden stop inJSA#45 when he and Atom Smasher left the team to take form a more fast-growing team of Hero doling out justice as they saw fit .

During theBlack Reignstoryline , Black Adam and his team of heroes attack Kahndaq , his one - sentence country of origin , now ruled by a brutal dictatorship . The attempt coup , however , was a tragedy as the JSA intervened and several of Black Adam ’s squad perished in the process . Though Black Adam took control of the country , it was a empty victory at best , leaving Black Adam isolated . AfterInfinite Crisis , Black Adam would take the point yet again in the52series , where he would get hold family in the form of Adrianna Tomaz , his lover , as well as her comrade Amon , who would become his protege Osiris . Both would perish tragically , however , leading Black Adam down a path of vengeance . This would in bout result to theWorld War IIIstoryline , which would see the increasingly unstable Black Adam to combat many of the world ’s heroes - including his former ally on the Justice Society . Black Adam was eventually stopped , escaping gaining control thanks to Atom Smasher , but the fight brand the definitive end of any goodwill between him and the Justice Society .

It ’s important to mark that Black Adam ’s time on the JSA determine the character into the anti - hero he is today . The series , write by Geoff Johns and David S. Goyer , took Black Adam from a one - dimensional supervillain to a nuanced and complex character capable of both being both unbelievably noble and inherently destructive . Hopefully , these graphic symbol trait will be front and center and the upcoming Dwayne Johnson movie . It seems probable the picture show will adapt at least some of theJSAstorylines . Released from his imprisonment , Black Adam might join the JSA since two of its membership - Hawkman and Doctor Fate - have considerable necktie to his ancient Earth . This could in turn lead toBlack Adam ’s hamper with Atom Smasher come front and centeras Black Adam ’s violent methods put him in battle with the rest of the squad . All of this , however , is speculation at this item , with the motion picture slat to start production presently .

Whatever form of Black Adam ’s solo movie takes , it ’s percipient the JSA will trifle a major use in attend to or attacking the ancient anti - poor boy - and it will probably finish up being a fleck of both . Just likeBlack Adam , however , theJustice Society of Americahas a long and celebrated legacy , and hopefully , this wo n’t be the last time they appear on the big screen either .
