The DC Universe is full of tough heroes and villains, but there are few who are as tough Black Adam. Given the same powers as Shazam back in the days of Ancient Egypt, Black Adam was able to reincarnate in the present day through one of his descendants and continue his battle against what he perceives as evil, which can be kind of misguided sometimes.
Black Adam considers himself a hero but his brutal methods and old school morality have put him at odds with Earth's heroes many times over the years. When one is as powerful and brutal as Black Adam, fights can turn into ugly, bloody affairs. This list is going to look at some DC characters that Black Adam destroyed.
10 Shazam
Shazam and Black Adam have been doing battle with each other for a very long time. They are pretty much equal in power; both of them are empowered by the wizard Shazam. The biggest difference in power level is that Shazam shares his powers with the other members of the Shazam Family sometimes.
Their battles have been titanic clashes over the years and there have been times when Shazam took the worst of it. He would always come back, but he's definitely taken some beatings from Black Adam.
9 Atom Smasher
Black Adam, regretting his criminal ways, would join up with the JSA. While his teammates didn't entirely trust him, they were willing to give him a chance. Well, most of them were. The biggest exception was Atom Smasher.
The son of the Golden Age Atom didn't trust Black Adam at all and the two men came to blows a lot when Adam was first on the team. While Atom Smasher is a pretty tough cookie, Black Adam was able to beat him like a drum on multiple occasions. Eventually, the two men put aside their differences.
8 The JSA
At one point, Black Adam decided that he needed to free his home country of Kandhaq from the brutal dictatorship it was under. The JSA wouldn't get involved in such things, so Black Adam and Atom Smasher recruited some friends and took the country back by force.
The JSA, fearing an international incident, got involved and Adam was able to single-handedly beat the team down, softening them up for the rest of his group. One particular member would get the worst beating, though.
7 Hawkman
Hawkman had taken leadership of the JSA when they decided to take on Black Adam because his lifetimes had given him experience in a matter like this that then-current JSA leader Mister Terrific didn't have, plus he had worked with Black Adam during one of his past lives.
After Adam had beat on the rest of the group for a bit, he singled out Hawkman and unloaded on him, beating him within an inch of his life.
6 Kobra
Kobra was a leader of a cult whose ultimate goal was to bring about the Kali Yuga, an age of chaos. The group would stage large scale terrorist attacks, trying to bring about their goal. Eventually, the JSA was able to capture Kobra and bring him to trial but he was able to escape.
Before taking down Kandhaq, Adam and his team hunted Kobra down and Black Adam ripped his heart out, taking vengeance for all of the innocent people Kobra had ordered killed over the years.
5 Sobek
For a time, things were looking good for Black Adam. He had a wife, Isis, and had rescued her brother, Osiris, and together the three of them created their own Black Marvel Family. They were joined by a crocodile man named Sobek, and that would be their undoing.
Sobek would prove to be one of the Four Horsemen, created by the scientists of Oolong Island, and kill Isis and Osiris. This would drive Adam into a rage and he would kill the beast, hyper-extending its jaws.
4 Azeuz
Next on the list of Black Adam's vengeance for his family would be the Horseman of Death, Azraeuz. Black Adam would track him down to the neighboring country of Bialya and the two would engage in a massive battle.
Adam was a bit crazy after the loss of so much he loved, so he lashed out against the people of Bialya during the battle, killing everyone in the country. The genocide empowered Azraeuz and he thought he could take down Black Adam. He was wrong as Adam was able to kill him as well.
3 Terra
After killing the entire country of Bialya, the superheroes of the world united to hunt down Black Adam. This wasn't a good idea for some of them. The Teen Titans confronted Black Adam and he proceeded to beat them very badly.
Unfortunately, for some of them, this would be their last battle. One of them would be Terra, who was an alternate universe version of the Terra that had betrayed the team. Black Adam would punch her through the chest, killing her.
2 Young Frankenstein
The Teen Titans that went after Black Adam were woefully underpowered to go after him, especially in his berserk state. Another member of the team that paid the price for their foolishness was Young Frankenstein.
Young Frankenstein was able to get some shots in, but Black Adam eventually just ripped his arms off and left him to slowly die.
1 Psycho-Pirate
During Infinite Crisis, Black Adam was working with the Secret Society of Supervillains. Unfortunately for him, the group's leader, Earth-3's Alexander Luthor disguised as Lex Luthor, was planning to strap him into his multiverse recreation machine because Adam pre-Crisis was from Earth-S and Luthor needed his vibrational frequency.
Eventually, the different beings Luthor had hooked to his machine would be released and wreak havoc. Psycho-Pirate would try to use his emotion control powers on Black Adam but Adam was having none of that, so he pushed the Medusa Mask through Psycho Pirate's head, popping it like a melon.
