I will buy a Shazam ongoing. Definitely.

And then drop it definitely on issue three after I realize it's crap.

Fixed.

This is true. I was actually pissed that Diana encouraged Superman's bullshit, but relieved to find out that while they were in an alternate reality, the "real" Diana was quick to put the Regime one in her place. Initially, I figured Injustice was solely focusing on one Earth's warped heroes, not a clash between two Earth's heroes.

Personally I blame Infinite Crisis for the 'self-righteous' thing. It tries to present all three of the trinity as having issues (Batman being too paranoid, Superman going through the motion and not being as inspiring), and gave her that label.

But... I'm hard pressed to think of what exactly she was supposed to have done to have earned it.

Like, every elseworld since then has used it in spades- Flashpoint, Injustice. Hm, I guess it was in Kingdom Come a bit too? But in her main universe book or JLA before that, not so much that I can recall.

I agree.

Shazam's publishing history. The poor guy always gets the short end of the stick when it comes to arcs and marketing.

Has SHAZAM's history ever had Geoff at the helm? Look at what he did to Aquaman.

Superman
Hal Jordan
Wonder Woman
Aquaman/Cyborg

Neither Black Adam or Captain Marvel have actually done anything.

lol no.

Would rate Aquaman above Cyborg, though.

In the game injustice, black adam is the most powerful character

Superman is better.

Never played it, but how is he the most powerful?

In terms of the storyline, both Supermen are more powerful than he is.

In terms of gameplay mechanics, he's pretty decent.

He has the highest damage output in the game

Black Adam Also Beats him at the end

I really hope you didn't just spoil story mode for me...
