In late months , Black Adamhas been on a path of redemption as a penis of theJustice League , but now DC is suggest this progress is doom to fail . InJustice League vs Legion of Super - Heroes # 1 , the two venerable teams meet , with the thirty - first century heroes drop hints thatBlack Adam may be closeto a return to villainy . The first issue of the six - military issue miniseries is on sale now in photographic print and digital . Justice League vs Legion of Super - Heroes # 1comes from Brian Michael Bendis , Scott Godlewski , Ryan Cody and Dave Sharpe .
Black Adam began as one of Shazam ’s neat foes , a former genius of the Wizard who was corrupted by his power . shun into the deepness of space , he would return to threat Shazam and his allies in the present day . However , in the former nineties , in the pages of Jerry Ordway’sPower of Shazam , Black Adam began to morph into an anti - hero , a thread Geoff Johns would afterward pick up during his test onJSA . Recently , Black Adam , at Superman ’s insisting , joined the Justice League . In addition , during last year’sFuture Stateevent , readers saw that Black Adam , still live in the eight hundred and fifty third - hundred , had forsaken a lifespan of brutality and violence for one of tranquility and contemplation .

InJustice League vs Legion of Super - Heroes # 1 , the Great Darkness is threatening both the twenty - first and thirty - first centuries , bringing together the Justice League and the Legion . The two teams meet at the Hall of Justice , and as they mingle , two Legionnaires , Widlfire and Timber Wolf , see Black Adam . Wildfire says he wants to plug Black Adam“in the side of the head . ”Timber Wolf tries to tell him this is a bad idea , and Wildfire replies“maybe I can combust him a little . ”Timber Wolf remind Wildfire that Adam can likely hear them . It ’s remove the future squad accept Black Adam significant animosity , even as they praise other heroes .
The scene is largely played for laughs , as the Legion stonewall the League ’s endeavor to get glance of their hereafter , but if sports fan show between the line , hintsaredropped , and Wildfire ’s desire to pummel Black Adam may be a bad one . It seems tofly in the face of Black Adam’srecent narrative bow , which is one of redemption and atonement . It ’s clearly paint a picture that Adam either does something frightful after in the twenty - first century that is still remembered in the thirty - first , or at least that his modern - mean solar day heroism never overcome his reputation for originally villainy . Either way , this is a long way from becoming a fighter good than Superman , as Kal - El desire .
There is still some Leslie Townes Hope . Future State : Suicide Squadportrayed a far , far future in which Black Adam had become one of the galaxy ’s last , great heroes , butJustice League vs Legion of Super - Heroes # 1suggests that even at best , the course from his current period of " redemption " to that moment wo n’t be a square contrast . As the name implies , Wildfire is hot - headed , and there is a possibility his desire to punch Black Adam is part an example of his chest of drawers - drubbing . However , Black Adamhas done horrible thingsin his spirit , and while he may currently be a hero with theJustice League , it now seems likely he ’ll lapse into deeds so terrible , they ’ll be commemorate in the thirty - first century .
