Even though I never cared about the character, Black Adam has a pretty cool in-game persona and fighting style in the Injustice series. I still can't say I'm a fan of his visual design in terms of uniqueness or excitement (he's just a Superman clone after all, in a similar way to Mortal Kombat's ninjas)... but nonetheless, I'm sure Black Adam is more interesting to DC fans.

I never imagined over a decade after creating this profile for Black Adam, that I'd have to come back to it and comment about THE ROCK. They hyped up that movie like crazy, got Duane THE ROCK Johnson to play Black Adam... and they still couldn't sell this character. Movie sequel starring The Rock, canceled. Good job as usual, DC. Even after all these years, I still don't care about this character. I actually like the artwork below, though!
