10 Astounding Facts To Get You Pumped For Black Adam

If Adam shouts, “SHAZAM,” he'll be struck by a magical lightning bolt, rendering him mortal. However, Adam will almost never utter this word since he will be left vulnerable.

If Shazam wishes to revert his enemy to his human form, he will cry out his name and channel the magical bolt into Black Adam, changing him into an ordinary man. This sounds like a smart idea but Adam can simply say the magic word to switch back to his godly form.

But during the 52 storyline, Zatanna changed the word Teth-Adam must utter to become Black Adam. According to Shazam, “I changed the word into the last thing he will ever say.” Adam spent months saying EVERY combination of words imaginable to try and reclaim his power. Assuming the magic word would be connected to Billy Batson, Teth Adam headed to his Batson's home, Fawcett City.

After entering an ice-cream parlour, Adam ordered the most popular sundae, a chocolate egg cream. Upon requesting it, he instantly turned back into Black Adam!! Realising that the chocolate egg cream must be Batson's favourite drink, he said, "Ah, Billy. Always the boy."

Fingers crossed that this storyline will be incorporated into the film adaptation.
