Though a lot of what we say here may have painedĀ Black AdamĀ as a villain, there’s a good reason why The Rock and those involved with the movie have so far emphasised his anti-hero persona.

Though he’s sometimes let his power corrupt him, Adam truly believes that he’s doing the right thing as he seeks vengeance against those who abuse their power and enslave people. It’s this sort of persona which has made characters like Venom and The Punisher so popular, and Black Adam has been seen in a heroic light on more than one occasion.
