Teth-Adam (Earth-1: Post-Crisis)

"My son dreamt of a better world. That's why he saved me. But the world was only a better place with him in it. Kahndaq needed a hero. Instead, it got me. All this power… And the only thing I can do with it is hurt people."

- Black Adam

Teth-Adam, now known as Black Adam, is a former slave in ancient Kahndaq and the father of Hurut, the original champion of the Council of Wizards. Adam was bestowed upon the divine empowerment by his son, who was killed shortly after and triggered Adam's uncontrollable rage against the royalty, which led to his five-thousand-year imprisonment.

Powers

 * Diving Empowerment/Transformation: Black Adam's son, Hurut, was chosen by the wizard Shazam to be his champion and was given mystical powers. When Adam himself was facing a near-death experience after being attacked by the forces of King Ahk-Ton, Hurut transferred the divine empowerment to his father, making him the champion.
 * Stamina of Shu/Superhuman Stamina: Among the power of the gods bestowed upon the champion was the stamina of Shu, which allowed Black Adam to perform his abilities for an extended period of time without any signs of fatigue or stress.
 * Longevity: With stamina of Shu, Black Adam was able to live for over 5,000 years without any signs of aging.
 * Speed of Heru/Superhuman Speed: Black Adam can move at an exceptional speed, with rapid explosions appearing as still objects to him.
 * Flight: Black Adam has the ability to levitate midair and fly at exceptional speeds.
 * Superhuman Reflexes: Black Adam can react to bullets and rockets within seconds and deflect them.
 * Strength of Amon/Superhuman Strength: Black Adam has the ability to exert great strength from his bare hands, capable of breaking metal chains and lifting human beings above his head.
 * Wisdom of Zehuti/Genius-level Intellect: Despite being an ancient human, Adam was able to quickly adapt to the modern world, learning English within mere minutes, demonstrate sarcasm and become familiar with the technological advancements.
 * Superhuman Senses: Adam has the ability to observe individuals and objects from a great distance, as shown when he was able to hear Amon Tomaz's cry for help.
 * Power of Aten: Black Adam has the power of the god, Aten, which allowed him to protect Kahndaq with said abilities.
 * Electrokinesis: Black Adam can generate electricity from his bare hands, which are capable of damaging durable objects and killing individuals instantly.
 * Regenerative Healing Factor: Even though Adam is not completely invulnerable, he is able to heal his rare injuries with electricity, sealing his wounds and his suit.
 * Courage of Mehen/Nigh-Invulnerability: With a mystical empowerment, Black Adam is essentially invulnerable to any form of conventional weapons, only vulnerable to Eternium.

Abilities

 * Hand-to-Hand Combat: Even when powerless, Adam was able to take on multiple A.R.G.U.S. security guards with ease.
 * Indomitable Will: Adam is a persistent individual, with him refusing to back down in protecting Kahndaq when the Justice Society arrived.

Weaknesses

 * Eternium: Eternium is one of the very few substances that can harm the nigh-invulnerable body of Black Adam.
 * Hellfire: Sabbac's flames was able to damage Adam's suit and skin.
 * Vocal Reliance: While he possesses exceptional abilities as the Champion, Adam's transformation can be easily prevented by stopping him from saying "Shazam".

Current Equipment

 * Shazam Suit: Like other champions of Shazam, Black Adam wore a protective suit with the emblem of a lightning bolt on his chest.
