DC's new movie " Black Adam " starring Dwayne Johnson has been released in North America, but domestic audiences have no chance to see it for the time being, so today we will take a look at the Black Adam story in the original DC comic .
DC launched the "Flashpoint" event in May 2011, restarting the DC universe and starting the new 52 era, so we will no longer trace the old stories, but focus on the Black Adam story in the new 52. The origin setting of
Black Adam has been changed a lot, and the origin is set to a place called Candak. In addition, Black Adam is not the successor of the power of the wizard, the real successor of the power of the wizard is the nephew of the black Adam, and the black Adam obtained the power of the wizard through the characteristics of the sharing of the power of the wizard (about the sharing of the power of the wizard, in the already released movie " Shazam " already shown)
After gaining wizard power, Adam and his nephew are sent back to Kandak. Here, Adam and his nephew disagree about the use of wizarding power. Adam wanted revenge, while Adam's nephew wanted forgiveness.
Faced with such a disagreement, Adam simply killed his nephew, thus gaining exclusive power. The
comics are more subtle about the process of Adam killing his nephew, but in the later fight with Shazam, he directly admits that he killed his nephew. Adam doesn't see himself as a villain here, though, he sees killing his nephew as a sacrifice to free Kandak, and sees himself as a hero. After
Shazam turned on his mouth escape ability, which directly released Black Adam's power. The disarmed Black Adam still claims to be a hero. From this, it can basically be seen that Black Adam is not a pure villain, but an anti-hero character.
Black Adam, who had disarmed his power, was taken away by time and turned to ashes.
But the story of Black Adam doesn't end there. Later, the name of Black Adam's hometown of Kandak was unwilling to be oppressed, and secretly carried out a resurrection ceremony, successfully resurrecting Black Adam.
The resurrected Black Adam directly overthrew the local oppressors, liberated the people of his hometown, and became the guardian of his hometown.
is a famous anti-hero in DC comics. From the story of New 52, it can be seen that Black Adam is a bit unscrupulous, but he is not a pure villain, or even a righteous character. There is a sense of protecting the weak against oppression. in.
In addition, in the "Evil Eternal" event, the syndicate in Parallel World Earth 3 (including Superman's parallel world clone Speedmaster, etc.) evil gang invaded the main world and imprisoned most of the Justice League members. When the syndicate united most of the villains, Black Adam and Lex Luthor and others did not join forces, but formed Injustice Alliance to resist, and successfully rescued the members of the Justice League. When
super attacked Planet Daily, Black Adam, who received the distress signal, appeared directly, showing strong anger towards the invaders.
