From ‘The Dark Age’ to ‘Black Adam and Isis,’ here are the top DC comics featuring Black Adam before the DCEU debut

The Dark Age was a time of upheaval, instability, and distrust. Black Adam is known for his heavy metal hairstyle and signature act: he goes into battle by belting out power ballads. But aside from rocking the mic, Black Adam has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. He’s forged alliances with other superheroes before and was first introduced to readers in 1972’s “The Dark Age” comic book series. That comic book was released with little fanfare, showing up in newsstands just before Christmas. The series was written by Jack Kirby and introduced a new superhero: Black Adam (voiced by James Earl Jones). The 5-issue comic was published in 1972; after the series ended, Black Adam continued to appear in comics published by DC Comics.

Introduction to the Black Adam

A highly successful African-American superhero, Black Adam has appeared in many forms of media including a live-action TV series and the Injustice 2 video game. Black Adam first appeared in DC Comics #1 and was created by Jerry Siegel, who also created Superman. The dual identity of Black Adam was a way to combat ills and differences between the black community in America with that of the white population during the 1950s. In other words, he would be an agent for change through his actions as a superhero. In the 2001 film Shazam! starring Zachary Levi as Shazam, a young Billy Batson encounters Black Adam, who is his mortal enemy. Black Adam is one of Marvel Comics’ most popular and important characters. He first appeared in Marvel Family #1 in December 1945 and was created by Otto Binder and C.C. Beck.

The storyline of the Black Adam

Black Adam is the first superhero to hit the DC Universe. He’s been present since the 1940s, and he takes his comic book mythos very seriously. After learning that Black Adam had been killed off in 1998, he decided to leave Earth and find out who would take his place as a protector of humanity instead of a consumerist war machine. Black Adam was not a product of the DCU’s New 52, but he was given a new lease on life after the Shazam! movie screenplay was revealed. If a Shazam! movie becomes a reality, expect Black Adam to get another go-around as part of his legacy. It is unlikely that he will return to his original position as an Egyptian high priest, or even get close to it after being trapped in outer space for five years (according to his account).

Just in time for The Rock’s film, Black Adam gets a DC comics makeover

The arrival of Black Adam coincides with a radical re-branding of the character’s comic book universe, with his publisher DC Comics championing the new direction. But they’re not stopping there. Soon after Black Adam’s debut, DC announced that it would be pushing ahead on its cinematic universe, dubbed the DC Cinematic Universe. The company will be using this series of films to further build out its extensive library of characters and plot points into a cohesive shared movie universe.

Below, we’ve identified some of the notable moments in Black Adam and DC’s history that may or may not be used in the new cinematic universe. The first Black Adam character was created by Otto Binder and George Brenner, a footnote in DC’s long-running back issues line called Showcase. In December of 1971, the two writers unveiled their newest villain for DC Comics’ golden age team The Justice Society of America.

So, what do you think about the Black Adam?
