Here's everything you need to know before seeing the new DC film 'Black Adam,' starring Dwayne Johnson.
‘The Flash,’ starring Ezra Miller, shows no signs of stopping despite multiple allegations against its lead actor and DC’s film shakeup.The Justice Society introduced in “Black Adam” comprises Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone — the aliases of Carter Hall, Kent Nelson, Al Rothstein and Maxine Hunkel, respectively.
Carter Hall/Hawkman and Kent Nelson/Doctor Fate are both characters who debuted in 1940 and are among the founding members of the Justice Society. Although aspects of his backstory have changed over the years, Hall is generally understood to be the most recent reincarnation of a prince of ancient Egypt who has been reincarnated countless times and retains all of the memories of each of his lives.
Nelson is a skilled sorcerer who has access to magical artifacts — like the Helmet of Fate — that give him additional powers. Besides his brilliant mind, his powers include flight, controlling elements, seeing the future and conjuring illusions. Al Rothstein/Atom Smasher and Maxine Hunkel/Cyclone are both newer comic book characters who have links to other heroes affiliated with the Justice Society. Rothstein, who was originally introduced in the 1980s, has the ability to manipulate his mass — meaning he can grow larger, which also increases his super strength. In the comics he is the godson of Atom, one of the founding members of the Justice Society.
Hunkel made her formal comic book debut in 2007 and is the granddaughter of the original Red Tornado, who has been depicted as an honorary member of the Justice Society. Hunkel was kidnapped by a mad scientist as a child who subjected her to nanotechnology experiments. She has the ability to control wind.
