Black Adam: 20 WTF Moments

7. Adam Gives Up His Powers

Black Adam Dwayne Johnson
Warner Bros.

After Adam reveals to Hawkman that he was imprisoned by the wizards of Shazam after using his powers to annihilate the king's men in revenge, he agrees to surrender himself to the Justice Society.

And so, Adam says "Shazam," transforming him back into his scrawnier, pre-magic self, at which point he's taken to Task Force X's underwater prison to be submerged and therefore physically unable to say the word "Shazam" even if he wanted to.

As odd as it is to see Johnson's face pasted onto the body of a much thinner man - rather reminiscent of skinny Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) in the original Captain America - the VFX here are actually surprisingly good.
