==Background/Timeline== | ==Background/Timeline== | ||
Born in Northern Egypt during the reign of Pharoah Ramesses II (the famous Ramses) as one of the Pharoah's many sons, the lesser Prince Teth-Adam grew up to become a warrior of great courage and renown, known for his strength of spirit and will. These were developed in a life of privilege, with the finest education and training his people had to offer. By the time he was gifted by the High Priest Shazam with incredible power, he was already a great general, a warrior prince in his father's service. His ambitions were fueled by his new role as Egypt's mightiest guardian, called Mighty-Adam, and his powers turned countless crusades, building an empire. The realm of Kahndaq became his to rule, and while Pharoahs came and went, his power remained absolute, perhaps even greater than those of his rulers. For a long time, Teth-Adam was the very epitome of all that his people considered positive, an unflinching combatant and the unopposable powerhouse of the ancient world. The whisperings of the demonic sorceress Blaze, Shazam's hateful daughter, began to change all this. | Born in Northern Egypt during the reign of Pharoah Ramesses II (the famous Ramses) as one of the Pharoah's many sons, the lesser Prince Teth-Adam grew up to become a warrior of great courage and renown, known for his strength of spirit and will.
