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.
The DCnU is still laying a foundation for everyone and already we have one of the Marvels defeated/killed by the tired, old "get him to say his magic word" nonsense!
As much as I hate the non-permenance of comic book "deaths" I want to see Adam come back and show just why he is Earth's origional BAMF'ing champion! Actually I would like to see Adam as purely an anti-hero this time around instead of yo-yoing between occasional anti-hero and pure evil tyrant. Possibly a mentor like relationship between him and Billy?
