Shazam! Filmmakers Explain How Black Adam Factors In

As noted by the director, Dr. Thaddeus Bodog Sivana does pre-date the existence of Black Adam, debuting in the pages of Fawcett Comics six years prior (1939 vs. 1945), but the latter has been long seen as Shazam a.k.a. Captain Marvel’s archenemy. Part of the reason for this, as suggested above, is because his powers have similar origins and capacities as Shazam’s, making most battles between them an equal fight… on paper. One serious advantage Black Adam has is simple experience, having lived for centuries with his gifts, and initially being a brave Egyptian warrior named Teth-Adam instead of a young kid who has a drive to stand up to bullies.
