10 Astounding Facts To Get You Pumped For Black Adam

7. He Is Resistant To Telepathy

Black Adam Movie
DC Comics

Adam may be able to level a building with ease or crush a tank with his pinky but his mind is still vulnerable. No matter how strong he is, surely some of the world's most prominent telepaths can defeat him by shutting down his brain, right?

I mean, Superman is the most powerful hero on the planet and he has been mind-controlled by supervillains like Maxwell Lord and Poison Ivy. So why don't psychics use their powers to stop Adam from committing atrocities?

Simple: because they're scared to. When Martian Manhunter tried to shut down Adam's mind, the deranged Kahndaqi visualised the thousands of men, women, and children he had murdered with his bare hands over the years.

Manhunter was bombarded with so much grotesque imagery, he couldn't maintain control over Adam's mind and so, fled into space with tears in his eyes. This is an astounding feat considering Manhunter is strong enough to telepathically control the entire Justice League!

It's safe to say that no one can take control over Black Adam's mind unless they have a very, very strong stomach.
