4. Superman Is Vulnerable To Magic, So Black Adam AND Shazam Pose A Threat

Shazam 5

We all know that Superman is vulnerable to Kryptonite, but did you also know that those with magical powers are a major problem for the Man of Steel as well? Both Shazam and Black Adam’s powers are ancient and magical in origin, and that could end up playing a big role moving forwards.

While a villain like Darkseid seems a safe bet for the Justice League movie, could Shazam’s solo flick set up Adam as the main bad guy in that movie? He’s certainly powerful enough – as he can go toe to toe with Superman – and having The Rock be the lead bad guy in a movie like Justice League would be a huge box office draw.

Introducing him first in Shazam isn’t dissimilar to how Loki was first shown in Thor, so don’t be surprised if he plays some sort of role in Justice League. Either way, Superman will have to be careful not to mess with Shazam!
