As much as I love me some OMAC, after working on my backup for a bit I think I'm going to try to apply with him. Instead.

Still a WIP but hopefully I'll have it finished today.

[INDENT][INDENT][i]Theodore Adams wasn’t the greatest kid growing up in Philadelphia but who doesn’t have their flaws. Orphaned before he could remember, Theodore grew up moving from foster home to foster home, all of which he would slip away from first chance he got. His only steady friends were members of the gang he’d been ingrained into since he was ten, of which often performed ‘heists’ which basically consisted of pickpocketing and the like. This was Theo’s normal until his gang picked the wrong pocket. Stealing the wallet of a big shot drug dealer had more than a few people gunning for the group of teens but that didn’t last long as the group entered the wrong subway station. In a one sided flurry of bullets the group was cut down to two members, Theo and Hassan, who shambled onto the outgoing subway car.

However the two quickly realized rather than bleeding out in a dirty people mover, they were now propping themselves up against the ruins of what looked like a throne room with many empty chairs and one occupied one. The Wizard searched the souls of both the boys before explaining that neither of them were worthy of the power of Shazam. Not in much of a mood to care, Hassan begged the Wizard to help the two of them as Hassan took a seat, feeling light headed. Watching the boy beg not only for his own life but that of his friend, The Wizard reconsidered conceding that after all his years of isolation perhaps his standards are too strict for modern times. Bestowing the power of Shazam to Hassan, The Wizard told the boy to speak his name and he may be healed along with Theo should he choose to share his power. The boy was only half listening though with one foot in the grave and the other beginning to follow suit. Theo tried to get his friend to say the word but it was too late for his friend. In one last attempt Theo annunciated the word along with Hassan, trying to help him along. Though Hassan was just shy of the word before he left the mortal coil, Theos completion of the word called down a massive strike of lightning on the teen.

When Adams eyes adjusted to the light once more he was outside and not himself, rather a muscular and older version of himself. In the coming months life would change completely for Adam. He was shipped out to the relatively small Fawcett city and in with the Tomaz family. Adam still keeps his distance from his foster family for the most part but he hasn’t built up the courage to make tracks on his own again but now his free time has been made up of testing the limits of his new powers. However Adam’s gotten increasingly less satisfied with punching rocks and flying after birds.[/i][/indent][/indent]

That’s exactly what I’d like to do here. Put Black Adam in the circumstances of Billy Batson and see what super heroic nature or nurture. There’s also a few storylines that I wish would have been handled differently which I plan to vicariously rectify with Black Adam.

As for Adams motivations, at the moment it’s a little bit of anger at the criminal underbelly of the world but mostly wanting to prove himself worthy in the eyes of The Wizard but more so in the eyes of Hassan. Adam feels wholly responsible for Hassans death and the guilt is only multiplied by the power he uses was originally for Hassan.[/i][/indent][/indent]
