Who is shazams enemy

He was created before Wonder Woman , became more popular than Superman , has a powerset that most mortal men dream of, and then dropped from the spotlight of publication due to a legal dispute. Throughout his history, however, one thing has remained the same…his enemies. Of all the heroes within DC, none have a stranger and more diverse set of enemies. From a worm to a crocodile, no hero can boast what Shazam can.

We all know the Seven Deadly Sins. Go ahead, count them. That was seven. In DC Comics, each appear as a demonic enemy to Shazam. A long time ago The Wizard who gave Billy Batson his power imprisoned the seven enemies. However, time and again, the seven got out and caused problems.

When out, the seven are able to possess any human who shows the worst of the characteristics. That is, they possess and amplify the sin that each individual naturally displays. As the ruler of a group of prehistoric people, King Kull is no pushover. Hailing from a time period where brutality and violence kept you alive, King Kull was trapped in suspended animation for many lifetimes.

When he awoke, he found himself out of sorts and in the twentieth century. Although he almost never leaves victorious against Shazam, his daunting size and strength make him an adversary not to be trifled with. As a massive radioactive robot Hell-bent on ruling the world, Mr. Atom is deserving of a spot of this list.

Atom is the creation of the mad scientist, Charles Langley. For his creation, Langley bestowed the robot superhuman strength and endurance. The main character of The Power of Shazam!

The cool part about Thunder is that an older Captain Marvel trains her, much like how Shazam trained him originally. Tanist is another child set in the future of the Marvel Family. He was a poor child living on Mercury, struggling to survive with his mother. The two find an item they believe will help them earn some money but ends up only causing them trouble.

His mother is ended and Tanist is crippled. Throughout this tragedy, Tanist discovers a passage to the Rock of Eternity where Captain Marvel meets him. He was also introduced in the Flashpoint miniseries and was shown to be an exceptionally bright kid without any capabilities in the beginning. Like his foster brother, he too becomes and adult when he changes into his superpowered form.

Eugene has a special focus with his power. He is able to use technopathy, meaning he can control technology through thought. Mercury, Heru, Zephyrus and Arel gave her the gift of super speed that allows her to run much faster than other members of the Marvel Family.

In addition, the same gods gifted her the ability of flight. When she changes form, she remains the same age. Strength is his greatest attribute to the Marvel Family. When he turns into his superpowered self, his age changes into that of an adult and his strength allows him to lift over tons. Black Adam would come to find him and help save his life by sharing his powers.

His powers are very similar to that of those with Shazam powers, except the pantheon is a little different. Osiris has the gift of powers like super speed, superhuman endurance, extreme knowledge and even powers like physical enhancement or transformation. Unfortunately, Orisis was ended by Sobek, whom was later found out to be Famine. There are three other boys named Billy in the Marvel Family -- yes, you heard that right.

Merlin's Council sent her to take the power of Shazam after Billy Batson ascended and she went to battle with Freddie Freeman, Billy's champion. Ibac is another classic villain, first appearing in Captain Marvel Adventures 8 in when Lucifer gave him his powers to battle Shazam. He was back in 's The Power of Shazam! Shazam's greatest villain and the one fans love the most, is Black Adam.

He first appeared in in Marvel Family 1, but he really came into his own in the modern era. He was one of the principle characters in the one-year event series 52 where he ruled over his beloved Kahndaq, while governments of the world tried to topple him.
