Black Adam

In 2600 BC, the tyrant Ahk-Ton enslaves Kahndaq to forge the Crown of Sabbac, until a champion chosen by the wizards brings him down. Today, Kahndaq is crushed under Intergang. Archaeologist Adrianna Tomaz finds the crown and, cornered, awakens Teth-Adam, who kills the thugs brutally. Amanda Waller sends the Justice Society: Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone. Ishmael, Intergang's boss and Ahk-Ton's heir, kidnaps Adrianna's son Amon and provokes his own death. Adam tells the truth: the champion was his son, Hurut, and it was Adam's rage that destroyed everything. He surrenders, but Ishmael returns as Sabbac, champion of demons. Doctor Fate dies to free Adam, who defeats Sabbac and takes the name Black Adam as Kahndaq's protector.

• Mid-credits Amanda Waller appears as a hologram in the palace ruins and tells Black Adam that Kahndaq is now his prison. He replies that no one on the planet can stop him. Waller says she'll call in a favor from someone not of this planet, and Superman appears: "We need to talk."
