I pick Zod. Adam's an idiot. All you have to do is have him say Shazam, and poof he turns back into weakling. He says it quite a lot cuz he hates the guy. Battle wise their both similar in strength, but I think Zod is a little more durable, kinda like Shazam and Superman. Zod takes it 7 out of 10.
Zod probably has the same magical vunerablity then Superman has...Black Adam could weak him with the lighting. Similar to the thing that Captain Marvel did on Kingdom Come.
Why are everybody calling him "Shazam", By the way? Isn't Shazam the guy who gave him the powers?
Shazam shares His powers with others and they all activate it the same way although Shazam has been said to be a genie but im not sure if thats the same Shazam.
Zod has the same vulnerabilities as Superman, but has the extra layer of armor to help protect him (constructed for him on an alternate-timeline Krypton). Also, Black Adam isn't any more ruthless or smart than Zod. Zod's a general, and an evil one at that. His whole life revolves around battle tactics. Zod broke Superman's jaw with a single punch...Black Adam is in similar trouble. Zod 7/10.
I'm not callimg him Shazam, that's his weakness. Like Mxyxyplix, have him say the WORD Shazam, poof he changes back into his normal form. Then he usually gets subdued or gets his a$$ kicked before he can change back. He's an idiot. He says it quite a lot.
Adam is not a dumbass. Hes not going to get tricked into saying Shazam. He has the wisdom of Zehuti (Thoth) so there is not going to be any tricking going on here. Zob probably won't know that he has to say the word in order to turn back and IF he does say it Adam can always dodge the lightening.
This is a good fight, Both of these characters are equal in strength, invunerability (although i believe zod to have more invunerability against physical attacks, if only slightly more), and ruthlessness. However black adam has some magical powers that could prove to undo Zod. On the other hand black adam can only achieve superSONIC speed which is many times faster than the speed of sound. Zod is on superman's speed lvl which is manytimes faster than the speed of LIGHT. Depending on the attack, i believe zod would be able to dodge many of adam's magical attacks. Also Zod's senses are much greater than Black Adams. I'm gonna have to give this one to Zod 6/10....barley
Black Adam has kept up with Jay Garrick who had to borrow Black Adam's Speed in oder to reach Light Speed. Zob in no way will be able to sense magic. Superman never has shown this feat.
hmmm in order to REACH lightspeed or go past it (multiple times)? I still say Zod is faster. While I never said or even implied that zod would be able to sense magic, he could surely move out of the way of a lightning bolt headed his way...
