Exploring the mythology behind Black Adam An Analysis of the Wizard Shazam Role in the Character Powers

Exploring the mythology behind Black Adam An Analysis of the Wizard Shazam's Role in the Character's Powers - In the DC Comics universe, Black Adam is a villainous counterpart to the superhero Shazam, both of whom gain their powers from a group of ancient gods. 

While Shazam's abilities come from the gods of Greek and Roman mythology, Black Adam gets his powers from the gods of ancient Egypt. Dwayne Johnson is set to portray Black Adam in an upcoming film, which is currently in development.

In the comic books the source of Black Adam's powers is not the six ancient egyptian gods but the Wizard Shazam. He is not empowered by a group of Egyptian gods, but instead is granted his abilities by the wizard Shazam, who is an ancient and powerful being who also grants powers to Billy Batson, the alter-ego of Shazam. Black Adam was initially created as a villain who uses the powers for selfish purposes.

In the comic books, Black Adam is empowered by the Wizard Shazam, not by a group of Egyptian gods. He's not associated with Shu or any other egyptian god.Shu is one of the ancient Egyptian gods,but he has no association with Black Adam's character. 

Shu was considered one of the Ennead of Heliopolis, a group of nine gods and goddesses who were believed to be the offspring of the god Atum or Ra. 

The Ennead was central to ancient Egyptian religious beliefs, and many of its members, including Shu, were considered to be the creators of the world. Shu was not associated with wind or stamina, but rather with the concept of air and space, and also with being a god of dry air and sunlight.

Heru

Black Adam is not empowered by any Egyptian gods, including Horus. Horus is an ancient Egyptian god, but he is not associated with Black Adam's character.Horus is one of the most significant gods in ancient Egyptian religion, and he was most commonly depicted as a falcon or as a man with the head of a falcon. 

He was the son of Osiris and Isis, and was believed to have been the protector of the pharaohs and the ruler of the sky. 

He was also associated with the concept of kingship and was sometimes referred to as "Horus the Great" or "Horus the Ruler". The Eye of Horus was a powerful symbol in ancient Egypt, and it was often used as a symbol of protection and prosperity. But Horus is not linked with super speed nor healing powers in ancient egyptian mythology.

Amun- Ra

Black Adam does not possess powers granted by the egyptian gods. Amun-Ra was an ancient Egyptian god, but he was not associated with Black Adam's character. Amun-Ra was a combination of the two gods Amun and Ra, in which Amun was combined with the attributes of Ra. 

He was considered one of the most powerful gods in ancient Egyptian religion and was associated with the sun and creation. He was revered as the king of the gods and was often depicted as a man with a double plumed headdress and a sun disk. He was also associated with the concept of hidden power, and sometimes described as "the king of the gods who is hidden from his creation." 

He is considered to be the god of air and wind and the patron of the pharaohs. But In the Black Adam comics, the Wizard Shazam is the one who grant Black Adam his powers and not Amun-Ra or any other egyptian god.

Zehuti 

Black Adam is not associated with any egyptian gods, including Thoth (Zehuti).Thoth is an ancient Egyptian god of wisdom, intelligence, and magic. He was depicted as an ibis-headed man or as an ibis, and was considered to be the patron of literature, science, wisdom, and inventions. 

He was also considered to be the god of writing and was responsible for the creation of hieroglyphs, the sacred writing system of the ancient Egyptians. Thoth was also said to be the creator of the 365-day calendar and was often depicted as a scribe. He was also known as the god of magic and divination.

He is also considered to be the god of the moon. However, in the comic books, Thoth is not associated with Black Adam and not one of the source of his powers.

Aton

Black Adam is not associated with any egyptian gods, including Aten,Aten was an ancient Egyptian god, associated with the sun disk, god of the sun who represented the life-giving power of the sun and was seen as the creator of all life. 

Atenism was a religious movement in ancient Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten who worshiped the god Aten as the sun disk. Aten was represented as a solar disk emitting rays with hands at the end, representing life-giving power. 

Atenism was unique in ancient Egyptian religion in that it worshiped a single god as the source of all creation and saw Aten as the only god, whereas in other religious tradition many gods were worshiped and seen as the source of creation. 

Atenism was a short-lived religion that lost popularity and fell out of use after Akhenaten's death, but it had a significant impact on the later religious development in ancient Egypt. But in the Black Adam comics, Aten is not associated with Black Adam and not one of the source of his powers.

Menthu

Black Adam does not possess powers granted by the egyptian gods, including Menthu.Menthu is an ancient Egyptian god of war and was associated with the god Horus. He was represented as a falcon-headed man and was often depicted wearing a bull head, as the god of strength and power. 

He was also considered as the god of the scorching heat of the sun and was associated with the idea of victory in battle. He was often depicted on temple walls spearing enemies of Egypt. 

But In the Black Adam comics, the Wizard Shazam is the one who grants Black Adam his powers, not Menthu or any other egyptian god.
