Both draw their powers from the Wizard Shazam's magic, and both gain their powers through a magical lightning bolt when they utter the word 'Shazam.'

Black Adam was granted the powers of six Egyptian Gods: Shu (stamina), Heru (speed), Amon (strength), Zehuit (wisdom), Aton (power), and Mehen (courage) ....(S.H.A.Z.A.M). Born in ancient Egypt he was a hero for a long time, before turning evil. In the 20th century (5,000 yrs later) he awoke, and is currently a member of the JSA. He basically epitomizes the saying that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely ....but that at the same time redemption is possible.

Captain Marvel (Shazam) was granted the powers of Solomon´s wisdom, Heracles' strength, Atlas' endurance, Zeus' power, Achilles' braveness and Mercury´s speed (S.H.A.Z.AM). Shazam joined the JLA for a little while, but left due to pesonal reasons. He currently freelances, although he is affiliated with the JSA. He stands for the saying that a pure heart can handle even the strongest power.

Who would win. They both have the same type of powers, even though the gods/beings are different, and they both got their powers from the same Wizard. They transform in the same way ...by uttering the word Shazam.

so its basically an arab vs a white man?

an arab vs a white man... interesting

Standard Billy? Billy. Crappy Billy/Freddy? Adam.

split

black adam is more powerful

unlike the greek gods who have had there powers split in half with the romans, the eyptions never had that happen to them.
captain marvel also shares some of his power with other marvels

Black Adam does strike me as having higher showings.

Cap did absorb Adam's powers in Virtue/Vice.

The Sins don't really grant powers, they just influence behavior, so it must be something he could've always done, but chose not to.

Adam beat Wizard Billy, he wins.

But he couldn't do that in WW3. I think it's a special situation- and hadn't he already absorb power from the other marvels too?

if written properly BA every time.

Ba = captian marvel pissed off, and he rarely holds back.

Also, who's to say that the Egyptian counterparts were as powerful as the roman counterparts?
