black adam’s love hate relationship with the humans makes him such a fun character. you never know what he might do 😂😂😂

Since you did the history of Dr Fate, Can you do history of Hawkman, Atom Smasher and Cyclone along with the history of the Justice Society of America since they're going to play a major role in the Black_Adam movie? Also can you do history of villain of that movie known as Sabaac?

I am so hyped up for the live action Dwayne Johnson's black Adam movie. 👍 Thanks so much for the updated History video.

As a fan of Shazam and Black Adam, I look forward to seeing the film!

I love Black Adam but the movie has me nervous cuz I don't want him be such an antihero. He a freaking savage and shouldn't be redeemable.

Love the content Can we get the history’s of Sinestro,Lyssa Drak,Vixen,Gorilla Grodd,Hyperion,and Hawkgirl

Black Adam’s more of an Anti-Hero nowadays, aside from that it’s very great to see the character gain attention thanks to upcoming DCEU movie while being a long time fan favorite character alongside Shazam, Doctor Fate and Hawkman.

I’m so tired of some of you phony black adam purist in the comments, bro has been an anti hero for the last 10 years in the comics and has literally help lead the justice league in recent runs. Bro hasn’t been a straight up villain in decades

Hiring Rock as Black Adam was smartest thing the DC Extended Universe has ever done

Can you do history of the Elementals, Cyclone and Sandman along with Kurt Conners the Lizard, Rhino, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with the Tinkerer, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer, Living_Brain, and Prowler?

I'm surprised that you skipped 52. To me, that's one of his greatest story arcs.

I really hope The Rocks version of Black Adam is really a anti hero and not just one in name only. He needs to do some villianous things.

I am So READY FOR THIS BLACK ADAM MOVIE!!!! DC COMIC FAN FOR LIFE

Insane that Dwayne Johnson was a fan dream casting long before the Shazam movie and before the DCEU even existed. And now we're so close to seeing that dream become a reality ⚡

cant wait to see black adam movie, getting more and more excited

I'm so happy you included the 90s Black Adam origin... well done!

Can't wait for the movie

I really like his costume design even though he is a Egyptian villain he does have unique colors like a Black ranger with yellow and black suits🛡🛡.

Can you do history of the Justice Society of America and the Seven Soldiers of Victory?

Awesome origin’s story about black Adam . Thank you Variant😊 great job.

Thank you very much for educating us on another character!

Its October so it would be cool to get a history of Dracula in marvel. I read Bram Stokers novel last month and have been in love with the mythology. I would be very interested to see his comic book arcs.

He's a villian. That eventually becomes a Anti Hero.

Is Dwayne"The Rock"Johnson the best choice to play Black_Adam in the DCEU? How come we did not see him in the first Shazam movie? What do you think is the most powerful thing about Black_Adam apart from having the same powers as Billy_Batson/Captain_Thunder/Shazam?

A BRILLIANT INSIGHT INTO BLACK ADAM, LOVED IT 😎👍🏿

I feel like you could have mentioned some of the feats he did in dc's ww3 like withstanding a mental blast from Martian manhunter and was able to pull and uno reverse card

Black Adam is one of my favorite Shazam/Captain Thunder villains

I love the background music you guys use for these

Wasn't there a version of Black Adam where he was the lab assistant that killed Billy's parents? I seem to remember something like that when I first came across the character.

So when are you going to do history of DC Despero since he is one of the biggest Justice League Villians from the Comics?

Now this story would’ve been amazing in the movie

I love your videos. I always try to check them out before seeing new hero movies.

It's ashame The Rock is above the comics & cherishes his image more than the actual source material 🤨

Do a history of Atom Smasher

Just seen it really great portrayal might be my most top DC anti-hero.

Looking forward to this movie! As a fan of Shazam and Black Adam. I'm really impressed with Dwayne Johnson, even created a video about his life story on my channel. Either way, thanks again for the history

Am actually looking forward to this movie.

Can’t wait for the movie!

Black Adam first appeared as a one-off villain in Fawcett Comics’ The Marvel Family #1 in 1945, which featured Captain Marvel and his entire super-powered clan in different adventures. Back then, “Shazam” was merely the magic word Billy Batson said to transform into the heroic Captain Marvel. It didn’t become his heroic name until 2012, despite all comics featuring the character having the title Shazam! for legal reasons involving Marvel Comics. (That’s its own whole own quagmire, for which we will refer you to this explainer).

Personally, I prefer Black Adam's original and post-crisis origins, since it opened up the door for him to become a pretty compelling and complex character. A villain to be sure, but one with a just cause.

I can't wait to see it

I think Mister Mind or villain from first Shaz movie will be ones to bring Black Adam back to life as we see him in some sort of chamber

Great movie 🍿🎥

One of my favorite DC characters ever.

finally

Impressive!

Where is the evil villain laughing in the intro for October!!

Awesome

Teth Is only wanted peace for his motherland but if you try to invade it then you shall taste his Wrath.

Seeing it tomorrow. I kinda know about him from Injustice(game) and new 52. So excited!

I hope DC comes to own Hellboy, Spawn, n Mortal Kombats rights. I want more of those crossovers

You said they wouldn't use Black Adam's first Origin and They did Just That , Used His Very First Origin Story

Thank u for the history of Black Adam

I love the whole Shazam family..

thank you

Now I am really looking forward to seeing this movie with the Rock in it, I just hope they do it Justice. Also I like that running gag of how Black Adam is an all-powerful lightning God yet hes always getting his ass kicked by a 12 year-old boy

How long till you do history of America-Chavez, Speed and Wiccan since these Young Avengers played a major role in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness? Can you please do history of them in honour of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness?

really cool

Easy, he’s an antihero, much like Deadpool or Lobo !

I've always loved Capt.Marvel & Black Adam characters. Capt.Marvel was & is more popular than Superman in the '40s, '50s,+ eras. Whenever his comics are sold, they out performed Superman. WHY on earth DC just don't embrace the Facts of Sales, and embrace Capt.Marvel/Shazam as one of their Flagship characters is beyond imagination. Black Adam. Is a Villain. He evolved into an Anti-Hero type eventually. Which DC should have embraced again and promoted the character better. Elvis Presley was a Huge Captain Marvel Jr. Fan. Designed outfits based on CMJr. He collect every issue of CM, CMJr comics.

Those are crazy

Does anyone know what comic that image is from at 13:55? Black Adam vs manhunter

He's a villain with or without a hero. But he's just protecting his city because it's HIS city.

What would happen if Black_Adam fought against other Villians like Darkseid or the Despero? Can you do history of Despero?

Wow I can't believe that Monster killed his nephew what kind of a man dose that

I wish The Rock played a villain every now and again, Black Adam killing his nephew is savage and dark, DJ shouldve stuck with that but DJ becoming Black Adam in the DCEU after his son dying is too soft. They should've made him a villain in this movie and then if they ever make a live action Shazam & Superman v. Black Adam movie in the future then have him turn into a anti-villain at the end so he can kinda redeem himself, if only even a bit. But because its Dwayne Johnson, we cant have it that way, they should've gone with another actor tbh, but hey what do i know?🤷

pls make an origin video on SABBAK

Cool video.

It’s seems to me that in the modern black adom story today the people who gained black Adoms powers to fight against evil has failed to see their own evil within themselves and so just like billy they truly believe they are doing the right thing but because they didn’t stop for a second and go within. they are blinded by the evil in their own hearts. It seems the only way for the wizard to have a true champion is if the black adom lives in someone who has mastered themselves AS WELL AS their demons so they can go and fight the demons in the hearts of others. The wizard originally believed that the vessel that holds his power as long as it’s pure (like a child) will be his champion but then quickly discovered that a child hasn’t mastered themselves yet and so the power within them will just be used by the VERY SAME evil that’s in the world 🤦🏿‍♀️. Aka the wizard just made things worse and a lot more difficult. Can’t wait to watch the movie when it’s out !

Is Thanos considered an anti-hero?

Black Adam is One of my Favorite DC Villains and One the Perfect Opposite to the Hero,I'm NOT a Fan of Making Teth Adam a Antihero,It Butchers the Interesting Factors to the Character and what makes Him Complex,I believe Dwayne Johnson could be a Solid Black Adam but to Me He's Not THE Black Adam People like Me Know and Love,plus Hyping a Black Adam vs. Superman Fight other than a Shazam Fight We REALLY WANT Makes Me Question DC's Choices.

Say what you will about the new 52, but it had some badass story telling

I guess you can say he's.... Playing with the big boys now. 😎

I saw the movie last night. 10/10 Black Adam was AMAZING! My only take away and it’s very small is I noticed in the film they only called Justice Society of America, “Justice Society” Why they didn’t call them the JSA is a concern for future movies as in I don’t want these movies to become political or anti-America. But, overall, I loved the movie. The Rock was AMAZING. And I could watch this movie again, and again. Top movies of 2022 The Batman, Black Adam, & Top Gun: Maverick. Excited for the future of DCEU after this and for all that haven’t seen it, huge surprise in the end. Won’t say what it is but I highly encourage y’all to watch it before it is spoiled.

🖤 you BLACK #ADAM 1 Quintillion times. #Dwayne Johnson nailed it. 💛 all your video's mate 👍.

Hey with Season 4 for Titans coming out soon, would you guys consider a run down of Church of Blood? I dont know almost anything about them or their story. Dont want to go into the season completely blind.

What happened to the podcast when are you uploading again?

13:56 I love it

I loved this movie too sad that people didn't give it a chance if you're 50 and over growing up reading the Justice Society you probably love it if you're 40 and under probably not The Rock did a great job everyone fit there part sad we want see Black Adam 2 and a fight between Super Man and Black Adam The second movie could have only gotten better another great film killed by people who with little to no understanding I will buy and download this in my favorites

I've watched the Shazam movie he's one of my 8 favorites Justice League Members

I don’t care if he’s a villain or not I just know the rock is not going to do the character justice lol.

Where’s the villain month intro?! I wait yearly for them!!

Interesting

Can you look at the History and Origins of The Brain from Teen Titans/Doom Patrol🧠🤖

What was up with Black_Adam killing his own nephew and hogging the powers of Shazam to himself? It would have been better if the tables were turned for both of them. Is Black_Adam getting a different origin story in the DCEU since he becomes the person he is after his son died because of his captors?

I don't think they will include him killing his nephew in the movie. They are going to make him more likable.

black adam and venom are villains who turned like a antiheroes in the last years but The rock's black adam been the main big bad for DCEU JL is too much

I’ve seen the movie already just came out today

They nailed every comic hero/ villain in the movie except for hawkman unfortunately

Black Adam kills without no remorse and personally I think he enjoys it, so make no mistake about it he is a likeable villain that you will fear, respect and be forced to make concessions two because of his power.

He’s always been a villain in my book! Love him tho 🔥

Black Adam-Scopion King there's a a mass up it is remarkable that the Rock is playing Black Adam and this character has similar origins to Scopoion King one could say that they the same but I have a theory SK is really the father of Black Adam a Egyptian connection in the DC Universe is high the old wizard Shazm to Dr Fater and others so maybe the Mummy movies are slightly part of the DCU to could be interesting there's is a Mummy story in that universe to something over looked?

Is Sabaac going to be the main villain of the Black_Adam movie which would lead to Black_Adam teaming up with the Justice Society of America? Can you do comic book origin of the villain Sabaac along with the Justice Society of America and the Seven Soldiers of Victory?

Yeah I big fan of Michael Keaton of Batman since I was a kid

10:00 Black Adam before Keeps®

I'm here!

Yesss

Black Adam is a hero, but not a superhero. He’s basically an old school, Epic-of-Gilgamesh brutal king Hero

Yes My favourite Anti Hero after Nemor!😉☮️
