I was doing some reserch on BA and it said "Kahndaqi population are relatively liberal Sunni Muslims who are willing to view Black Adam as a prophet along the lines of Mohammed." So it got me thinking BA might be Muslim ?
Black Adam
Character » Black Adam appears in 853 issues.
The original champion of the Wizard, Teth-Adam was a former slave who channeled the power of six Egyptian Gods to fight evil. But when his family was murdered during the conquest of his people, he developed more ruthless methods to protect innocents. Seeing him as corrupt, the Wizard banished "Black Adam" to the tomb of Ramesses II. After centuries of imprisonment, he would finally escape to overthrow Kahndaq's tyrant by force, becoming the country's defender and a natural enemy to the world's heroes.
Is Black Adam a Muslim ?
At that time there were no muslims, muslim religion only came up in around 600 A.D. Black Adam lived at around 2000 BCE. He believed in Amun-Re and Horus.
@SoA said:
egyptians now are muslim but 2000 yrs ago worshipped gods like Ra and Horus
same thing for BA , Khandaq is muslim now but back when BA first appeared they still believed in Gods
This
Kahndaq is completely Ancient Egyptian now and so is Black Adam, as shown in the new Black Adam: Year of the Villain.
Not cool. Not to mention, not even true. In recent years Teth is def a hero
Nah, he's more like IJ Supes.
I thought Adam was around in Ancient Egypt before Islam existed ?
Post Crisis Adam was born in the 12th century while Islam popped up in the 7th.

Interesting. Here are some sources that say otherwise.

The Wikipedia source says that Black Adam was born Teth-Adam on September 11, 1279 BC. Meaning that this is way before Islam which is a 7th Century AD Religion.
