Teth-Adam / Black AdamEdit

I was a slave until I died. Then I was reborn a god. Now, I kneel before no one.
Five thousand years ago, Kahndaq was a melting pot of cultures, wealth, power and magic. But most of us had nothing, except for the chains around our necks. Kahndaq needed a hero... instead, they got me. I did what needed to be done, and they imprisoned me for it. Now, five thousand years later, I am free. And I give you my word: no one will ever stop me again.
I have a knack for destroying bullies. But there are some who think I need help: Hawkman, Dr Fate, and their new recruits Cyclone and Atom Smasher. They call themselves the Justice Society, an organization that believes in fighting for truth and justice. Well, I'm going to teach them, the only beliefs I fight for are mine. Welcome to truth, justice and the Black Adam way!
[in Egyptian] Your magic is weak.
My powers are not a gift, but a curse. Born out of rage.
I'm not peaceful. Nor do I surrender.
I never said I was a hero.
There's no one on this planet that can stop me.
I'm not going to drop them. I'm going to drop one of them.
Force is always necessary.
I don't waste words on the dead.
I'm no hero.
I've learned that in this modern world, we shouldn't hurt our prisoners. We should treat them with dignity, respect. Let’s start with just one simple question. Can either of you fly?
Prove your strength. Destroy your enemy and all he cares about. Make him beg for mercy, but deny it until his final breathe.

Carter Hall / HawkmanEdit

This loose cannon needs to be locked down before innocent people start getting hurt.
You find us a cell that can hold him, we'll take care of the rest.
We're here to negotiate your peaceful surrender.
In this world, there are heroes and there are villains. Heroes don't kill people.
We only use force when necessary!
A bad plan is better than no plan at all.
You better not drop those prisoners.
We're the Justice Society. Our mission is to protect global stability. We're here to restore peace to Kahndaq. And we will use force if necessary.

Kent Nelson / Doctor FateEdit

You believe you are not worthy. But Fate does not make mistakes.
My vision has shown me the future.
You have two paths. You can be the destroyer of this world. Or you could be its savior.
There's no point in dwelling in the past. It's already moved on from you.
What have your powers ever given you? Nothing but heartache.
The battle you're meant to fight is upon us.

Albert "Al" Rothstein / Atom SmasherEdit

I go big. It's what I do.
I didn't bring a passport.

Maxine Hunkel / CycloneEdit

I just got goosebumps.

Adrianna TomazEdit

He caught a rocket.
Sometimes the world doesn't always need a white knight. Sometimes it needs something a little darker.
You like to split the world into good and bad but that’s easy to do when you’re the one drawing the line.
You didn't come here to seek justice. You came to exact revenge.
Your thoughts are better spent on the things you can change, not those you can't.
It's his darkness that lets him do what heroes cannot.

Ishmael Gregor / SabbacEdit

I'm the last living descendant of King Ahk-Ton the Great. And you have just given me everything I need to become the next... King of Kahndaq. My family passed the knowledge on, you know, one to the next. The crown, crafted by our ancestors, stolen by the wizards and hidden away. But still a source of great power, if only we can wield it.
Death is the only path to life.
Let the fate of Kahndaq be decided by a true battle of champions.

Amanda WallerEdit

Before a world of heroes and villains, one power ruled it all: Black Adam.
He's been asleep for 5,000 years.

DialogueEdit

Amanda Waller: Okay, Black Adam. My name is Amanda Waller. Congratulations, you have my attention. This is gonna be your only warning. You don't want to stay in my prison, that’s fine. Kahndaq is your prison now. You step one foot ouside of it, you will not live to regret it.

Black Adam: There's no one on this planet that can stop me.

Amanda Waller: I can call in a favor and send people who aren't from this planet.

Black Adam: Send them all.

Amanda Waller: As you wish.

[Black Adam destroys the communicator with his lighting powers]

Superman: It's been a while since anyone's made the world this nervous. [reveals himself] Black Adam. We should talk.
