Speaking the wizard's name he was transformed by a mystical bolt of lightening into the Mighty Adam.
Acting as a hero the Mighty Adam came into the service of Egyptian Prince Khufu Kha-Taar. Shortly after the prince's murder Adam lost sight of his purpose and began to use his powers for self gain. Fallen from grace the former hero was fearfully called Khem-Adam, translated as Black Adam.
Shamed by his disciple's corruption the wizard Shazam stripped Teth-Adam of his powers and placed them within a scarab amulet, which was entombed with Pharaoh Rameses II, until it was uncovered by archaeologists C.C. and Marilyn Batson. The couple was murdered by an associate, Theo Adam, who unlocked the secret of the scarab and acquired the powers and memories of Teth-Adam, giving new life to Black Adam.
Theo Adam committed numerous crimes and battled the Beck's orphaned son Billy who had been empowered by the wizard Shazam to become Captain Marvel.
Recently Teth-Adam has gained control over the body of Theo Adam and has sought to redeem himself by becoming the hero he once was.
