(History):

In the ancient Middle Eastern nation of Kahndaq, around the 13th century B.C.E., the hero known as the Champion chose Teth-Adam as his successor. By speaking the magic word “Shazam” he was transformed into the Mighty Adam, with powers granted by the gods: Shu (stamina), Heru (speed), Amon (strength), Zehuti (wisdom), Aton (power), and Mehen (courage).

For centuries, the Mighty Adam used his powers as a force for good, eventually serving as champion to the Pharaoh Ramses II and the Egyptian prince Khufu. When the villain Ahk-ton, a servant of Vandal Savage, conquered Adam’s homeland of Kahndaq and murdered the hero’s wife and children, he went mad and killed his foe. He then swore to reclaim Kahndaq by any means necessary. Upon learning of this, the Champion—now known as the wizard Shazam—stripped Adam of his powers, placing them in a mystic scarab. Restored to his true, mortal age, the former hero turned into a mummified cadaver. Shazam had both the scarab and the body of “KhemAdam” (Black Adam) entombed.

Thousands of years later, Theo Adam, assistant in an archeological dig led by C.C. and Marilyn Batson, discovered the tomb of Khem-Adam
