One of the world's foremost wielders of magic, Black Adam has been
both hero and villain over a life that's spanned thousands of years.
Thousands of years before Billy Batson became a magically-empowered
hero, the wizard Shazam selected another champion. Teth-Adam or "Mighty
Adam" began as a hero of humanity, but then allowed his power to corrupt
his ideals and desires. Now labeled Black Adam, he was exiled by Shazam,
but returned in the modern day. A frequent enemy to Earth's heroes,
Black Adam believes he is the right person to lead humanity and any
action he takes is necessary for the greater good. Collecting Black
Adam/JSA: Black Reign (New Edition), Shazam! Vol. 1, and Black Adam:
Rise and Fall of an Empire, this box set is perfect for any Black Adam

In Black Adam/JSA: Black Reign (New Edition) Black Adam brings old
world justice to Kahndaq as Hawkman seizes control of the JSA and brings

home to foster home, but when he's drawn to the Rock of Eternity, he is
