Overlords-verse - Black Adam (read desc)

Now, before I start, I'll remind everyone that Black Adam is dead. Waaaay dead. He will not be making an appearance, this post is just to show off the fact that I finally came up with a good design for him. So, let's get to writing his story. As always, lemme know what you think :D

 

Teth Adam was originally chosen by the wizard of Shazam to wield the power of the gods, and become the worlds protector. However, the Wizard, in all his wisdom, did not see what a selfish and power hungry man Teth Adam was, and was thus powerless to stop him when he used his power to rule over his city of Khandaq.

 

Shielded from the world by magical forces, Khandaq thrived. However, after thousands of years in this form, Teth Adam began to deteriorate. The Wizard had warned him about staying in his immortal form for too long, that it would have devastating consequences on his mind. It was wround this time that Black Adam first stumbled upon a scroll, detailing the magical helm of Nabu. curious, Adam invested all his time into tracking down the artefact. During this time, the Wizard had chosen another individual to wield the power of Shazam. This individual was Billy Batson, known as Captain Marvel. The two fought many times, the Captan fighting to keep Adam from discovering the location of the helm, and Adam fighting to eliminate the Captain.

 

This was put to a stop however, when Adam finally located the helm. He would stop at nothing to take it for himself, and become a true god. And that is exactly what he did. Drawing the helms current owner, Kent Nelson AKA Doctor Fate, into a fight, he was able to forcibly gain the helm for himself. Holding Nelsons battered body in one hand, he used the other to take the helm. Once it was taken, he let the body drop to the ground, for all the world to see. He was the one most worthy of the helm, and he was determined to use it's power. He placed the helm upon his head, and felt a presence enter his mind. It was Nabu, spirit of the helm. His eyes went blank as Nabu erased his mind, taking over his body for himself. Thus, the life of Black Adam was extinguished, unbeknownst to the JLA, who only saw Black Adam flying into the distance, wearing the helm.
