"*Kahndaq needed a hero, instead, they got me. I did what needed to be done and they imprisoned me for it.*"
―Black Adam[src]
**Teth-Adam**, better known by legend as **Black Adam**, is the former champion of the Wizard Shazam and the Council of Eternity hailing from the nation of Kahndaq. Due to his great heroic acts, courageous heart and divine powers granted to him by the seven wizards, he became the ruler of Kahndaq.

However, after the government forces killed his wife Shiruta, he became violent and came into conflict with the Council of Eternity, with his immense powers, he killed every one of the wizards except Mamaragan. Continuing his rampage, he eventually killed Ahk-Ton and confronted Prince Khufu and Princess Chay-Ara, the rulers of Egypt. He managed to defeat Ahk-Ton Khufu and Chay-Ara, however, with the combined powers of Mamaragan and Nabu, he was eventually imprisoned in a tomb and was confined to Earth until his reawakening in the modern world.

After being awakened in the modern world, he was stoled by Lex Luthor to be recruited into the Legion of Doom. After the Legion's defeat, he was retaken by the Justice Society of America.
