POSSIBLE BLACK ADAM MOVIE SPOILERS AS I'M TRYING TO RE-ENACT HOW THE MOVIE WILL HAPPEN, TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT BUT IT COULD BE ACCURATE!!!!

Five Minutes Ago

Kahn’daq, Egypt

The city was under great peril as men and women were forced out of their homes to live on the streets as the Intergang took over. The Intergang were highly advanced in terms of their technology and their supplier. Known for conquering nations, they planned to take over the world little by little.

Adrianna Tomaz, a freedom fighter, along with her son Amon were currently being forced to lead a group of Intergang members to the source of a strange energy signature that she discovered but the group discovered her research.

Currently, Adrianna and one of her associates were exploring the tomb with the gang members right behind them with her son in their custody in case they try anything.

“No games.” The leader spoke seriously as he kept a firm grip on the boy in case anything happened. Adrianna gave her son a reassuring glance before turning around and kept walking while shining her flashlight around the massive cave.

“What… is that?” Her associate asked as Adrianna looked up and saw what looked like a massive crown at first but as she stepped closer, she saw that it was seven miniature thrones in a circle above a hieroglyphic tomb embedded in the ground.

One of the men held up a energy detector and the needle was high, “That’s the source of the energy, what do we do?”

“Break the tomb.” The leader simply ordered as Adrianna looked at him bewildered.

“You can’t…. You can’t break this tomb!” Adrianna yelled in shock before the leader tightened his grip on her son which made cry out in pain as Adrianna stayed silent but had tears welling in her eyes as some of the men readied their weapons and they approached the tomb.

One man readied a sledgehammer as he raised it over his head and before he could bring it down, the tomb glowed blue as the outer edges glowed blue before a lightning bolt shaped imprint glowed blue and glowed brighter before a lightning bolt struck from the heavens and struck the tomb which caused a massive pitchback for everyone and knocked them down to their backs as some went flying back.

Adrianna coughed as she waved the smoke away before she saw her son lying unconscious on the ground as she rushed over to him as her associate looked at him and took his pulse.

“He’s alive.” He said as Adrianna sighed with relief before the smoke cleared where the tomb was and there was a figure draped in a hooded cape as he was crouching as the men recovered and aimed their weapons at the mysterious man.

Theo, on the other hand, felt powerful and strong enough to lift a mountain as he breathed calmly before hearing the footsteps of someone approaching him as he gently lifted his head and the man kept his gun aimed right at him.

“Hands on your head.” The man said as Theo made no effort to comply to that order as he flexed his fingers and he heard the man shake his gun threateningly but also it was a sign of fear.

“I won’t ask again!” He warned as he stopped right behind him as he awaited the man’s next move.

Theo knew that there was a group known as Intergang that was going to come for him but they had two innocents with them. This man behind him was apart of that group and he wasn’t going to hold back.

Faster than the blink of an eye, he turned around and grabbed the man by the throat before he willed lightning to shock the man to death as he shook and soon his hands went limp as he shocked him to the bone before crushing the dusty skeleton to dust as it fell to the ground.

All the men looked at him in fear before the leader yelled shakily, “OPEN FIRE!!!”

The men released the full power of their machine guns as the bullets hit Theo’s body but they bounced off as Theo steadily felt his anger rising and soon found himself floating gently as he snatched that feeling and increased it as he steadily rose into the air as the bullets bounced off of him.

Lightning sparked from his arms as his lightning emblem glowed a dark golden hue as his fingers laced with lightning before he aimed it at the men and fired a full lightning blast at them as there bodies bursted and splattered blood all over the place as he calmly moved his arm and vaporized all the men as bloody stains were left of their existence before looking at the two or rather three innocents that were looking at him fearfully.

Ignoring them, Theo hears a weird chopping noise to his right, like something was slicing the air as he rose higher into the air before he began blasting the wall of the cave with one hand before increasing the power with his second as chunks of rock fell and crashed to the ground as Adrianna picked up her son and rushed outside along with her associate.

The lightning blasts chewed through the rocky barrier before blasting a hole to the outside which alerted the attention of the two armed helicopters that were waiting outside the massive cave.

“What the hell was that?!” A pilot yelled as he looked at the lightning that was still streaking out of the massive hole.

“Is it Thor?!” The second pilot yelled in fear before the two of them got their answer as Theo floated out of the darkness and rose slowly to their level as the pilots readied their weapons to engage the floating god.

“Do we engage?!” The first pilot yelled.

“It’s a floating maniac, we should engage!” The second one replied.

“But what if our ammo don’t work?!” The first pilot pressed on.

“He ain’t no fucking Superman, let it rip!” The second pilot yelled as both helicopters fired their rotary cannons as dozens of bullets hit his body as they bounced off of him as his cape took the bullets as holes appeared in them and in as Theo glared at them before the helicopters decided to cease fire.

“Uhhh…. You sure he’s not related to Superman?” The first pilot asked as his partner didn’t say anything as he was staring blankly in horror at the floating figure who was done waiting on standby.

Theo zoomed forward and spreaded both of his hands as they clipped the left and right wings respectively of both helicopters which sent them sprawling out of control as the pilots screamed as their helicopters spiraled towards the ground.

Theo paid no attention to them at all as he gently landed on the ground with both helicopters exploding as soon as he landed as he walked forward and glared at a couple of oncoming vehicles that were driving towards him. So far, this world had strange technology that eluded Theo as Equestria doesn’t have any of these things.

He watched curiously as the vehicles stopped and men got out, holding machine guns as Theo recognized these weapons before getting an angry look on his face. Rushing forward, he grabbed one of the vehicles and smashed the men flat as they screamed before they were silenced as chunks of human flesh pitched out of each slam as Theo relentlessly killed them and soon a ten foot crater was the result when he finished with them.

Hearing another noise, Theo turned around menacingly only to find a minibus screeching to a halt as the occupants inside looked terrified as the god stood right infront of there bus. Trying to look brave, Adrianna began winding up her window as her associate began to do the same before Theo began walking towards them and analyzed the vehicle.

It had strange designs on it, none to which he understood as he passed Adrianna’s window before stopping and backing up to take a thorough look at her. He was bewildered by her appearance as she looked pretty beautiful to him and that boy in the backseat must be her son… so the guy in the driver’s seat was the Dad, perhaps?

As he continued to look at them creepily, he didn’t notice that another truck had put itself into the proper position before the man who drove it readied a missile and as soon as he clicked it into place, it pulsed a blue color. The man took aim before the associate noticed him as he saw the missile launcher.

“Behind you!” He yelled Theo immediately turned around as the man fired his missile and it streaked toward them with a blue hue to it. Curious about the object, Theo used his speed and caught the missile as the air streaked from his initial position as he looked at the object and observed the strange shape.

“Did he just catch a rocket?” The associate said disbelieved.

“Yeah, he caught a rocket.” Adrianna replied in awe as the man turned the rocket and looked at it as Theo noticed a little timer on the side of the missile.

“What th-” Theo began to say before the missile exploded massively along with a blue shockwave emitting from it which to say…. Caught Theo off-guard since it knocked him down as dark smoke flooded his vision before he got back up.

Adrianna and her associate looked out the window for any sign of the man before his hand slammed against the windshield which cracked it a little as the man rose up and now his hooded cape was torn to shreds as he had an angry look on his face as he grabbed the torn cape and ripped it off as he turned to face the man who attacked him as he readied another missile.

Glowing blue with power, the man fired a second missile and Theo didn’t move as the missile came close before Theo stopped it cold just by grabbing it before throwing it back at the man with super strength as it streaked towards him and blew him up which exploded the car he was in as Theo smirked at that before giving Adrianna one last look before jumping into the air and flying off.

“Who…. was that?” Her associate asked fearfully.

“I don’t know… I don’t recognize him.” Adrianna said regretfully.

“What did we just do?” He asked.

“......We awakened a god.” Adrianna replied in horror before she gestured for him to start driving as he gassed the minibus and took off in the direction of where the man flew off.

Ten Minutes Later

The Justice Society Headquarters

In the headquarters of the JSA which was located in California, Hawkman was sitting in his chair as he awaited the visitor that was supposed to arrive earlier but decided to wait until the entire team was here as he awaited for his team to show up.

Having receive the message from a high ranking government official, the only thing that Hawkman got out of it was that this mission was very important and was to be top secret, no one else should know about it at all. Carter sighed as he fingered his mace as he looked at the table thoughtfully and wondering as to why this mission was so important.

The door opened and a huge man in a red and blue suit came through clumsily as he hurriedly went and sat in his chair as Hawkman looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He was about 7’4 and was muscular but wasn’t really that smart but he knew how to fight, this was Atom Smasher.

“Albert, I told you that you don’t have to wear your suit in here.” Carter chided as the teen’s eyes widened as he took his mask off.

“Sorry, its just that I need the suit to… you know, keep my height the same.” Albert replied.

“Where’s Cyclone and Fate?” Carter asked.

“Uh last time I saw Cyclone, she was in the city buying something and Fate… haven’t seen him yet.” Albert replied.

Carter sighed before the door opened and the wind increased drastically which forced the two men to hold onto their chairs tightly as Cyclone, known as Maxine Hunkel, came flying in with a smile on her face as her curly hair swayed in the wind as she sat in her seat.

“Hello boys.” Maxine greeted as Carter deadpanned.

“You seem to be in a happy mood.” Carter noticed.

“Oh well, we’re finally going on our first actual assigned mission that won’t be deemed illegal by the government.” Maxine said excited.

“Well… I don’t know about illegal…” Albert trailed off as Carter nodded.

“Agreed, we don’t know what exactly the assignment is as we will be briefed by a government official… the only thing I managed to get out of him was that it was Top Secret and no one should know about this which means both of you better not leak anything yet until we have permission to do so.” Carter said sternly as both of them nodded.

“What do you think the assignment is?” Albert asked.

“Could be to retrieve something that belongs to the government,” Carter answered, “That’s the only thing I could think of if they want this mission to not be known to other hero organizations.”

“I wonder what it could be if that’s the case.” Maxine wondered.

The doors opened for a third time and this time, an elderly man entered with a golden helmet under his right arm as he took his seat at the table, this was Kent Nelson but known famously… as Doctor Fate.

“Kent, you’re late… which is a surprise.” Carter noted as Kent gave a warm smile.

“I know, I know… just had to deal with a few… untimely warnings.” Kent replied as the three members looked at him curiously. Untimely warnings were not a common thing from Kent and if Nabu was speaking to him about a warning, then that means something serious is going on.

“What was the warning?” Albert asked.

“Nabu said all will be revealed sooner rather than later,” Kent replied before looking behind him, “Or rather now, in fact.”

The doors opened for a fourth time and this time, a woman came through with a serious expression on her face as she approached the table and sat down in the guest chair as she placed a folder on the table and looked at each of them. This was Amanda Waller, known for being the Director of A.R.G.U.S, known as The Advanced Research Group Uniting Superhumans.

Maxine and Albert stiffened as soon as they saw her while Carter straightened himself and gained a serious look on his face while Kent narrowed his eyes at her as Amanda sat in the chair and looked at him.

“I see you got the team back together, along with some new faces.” Amanda said while looking at Maxine and Albert as Carter replied.

“Yes, it was necessary.” Carter replied.

“We’ll see about that in your assignment.” Amanda said seriously before opening up a file and distributing papers out to each of them as they looked at it.

“About ten minutes ago, a fellow spy that we implanted in Kahn’daq found something dangerous… something that could destroy this world as we know it.” Amanda spoke before the holographic screen at the center of the table revealed a figure in a black suit.

“This man is capable of destroying fighter jets, tanking bullets and catching missiles like their rubber balls,” Amanda said seriously, “There’s no name of him currently bu-”

“Black Adam.” Kent replied as everyone looked at him as he looked at the Helmet of Nabu.

“This was Nabu’s warning to me,” Kent spoke as the helmet shined and glowed gently, “I had a vision and that vision has shown me the future…. Black Adam has two choices, he can be the destroyer of this world or he can be its savior. He will not be an easy person to talk to, much less fight as I have seen what he is capable of.”

“Then that further solidifies my decision,” Amanda said darkly, “I want you all to find and capture Black Adam and bring him to me.”

“And what will you do with someone of that kind of power?” Carter asked curiously as she glared at him.

“That is none of your concern.” Amanda snapped back as Carter got up and glared at her.

“There is a chance that we can convince him to be a hero.” Carter spoke defensively.

“Didn’t you hear the warning just now? He can be a destroyer to our world and he is already starting down on that path,” Amanda shot back, “We cannot take the chance and let this man roam free, I want you to bring him in… or you all will face dire consequences.”

Amanda took her folder and exited the room as the doors opened and closed for her as the entire team looked at each other before Maxine broke the silence.

“So… what do we do?” Maxine asked.

“We go to Kahn’daq,” Kent replied as everyone looked at him, “I have some knowledge of Black Adam through my visions, he is heading in that direction and maybe there I will be able to convince him to join us.”

“And remember, do not engage him,” Carter warned as he looked at the footage of Black Adam destroying U.S Government technology like its nothing, “This is someone who is potentially on the level of Superman, we cannot risk angering him, everyone got it?”

They all nodded before they all got up and made their way to Hawkman’s jet as they were set on convincing Black Adam to stop this madness and join the JSA. Meanwhile, Amanda was in her car as she drove back to Belle Reve as she looked up and saw the JSA’s jet took off towards Kahn’daq.

Amanda took out her phone and dialed a number before the person on the other line answered.

“Who is this?” A male voice asked suspiciously.

“Cut the crap, I know who you really are,” Amanda spoke seriously, “Meet me at Belle Reve, I have something that might interest you.”
