How exactly? By being fast and strong? Talisman/Shaman can depower him. Sas/Snow can beat him senseless.

I'm assuming this version of Black Adam is bereft of any super speed then?

Not even Dr. Fate can depower the champions of Shazam. Only one who has ever done so is Shazam himself and Spectre.

Not this again. Why is it always about speed?

Because other versions of Black Adam had super speed, and thus I would think this would too?

Which, if he did, then someone like Sasquatch would have zero chance of beating him down.

It's not always about speed..but people do tend to make a lot of threads involving characters with super speed, it is not my fault. I get speed is a big advantage, but I didn't invent these characters or give them their powersets. Black Adam isn't Superman, so the excuse of him holding back or whatever won't apply.

Then learn how these characters fight in actual comics.

These are not power sets against power sets fights.

Surtur is just saying that BA would have speed to not be dogpiled. For Sin to have her victory scenario, BA would have to be standing there letting them do it. That's all.

Why would Black Adam let himself get wailed on? A punch from Sasquatch would be moving in slow motion to him. He'd just..let it happen?

Talisman can absorb/redirect/negate elder god/skyfather level magical energy. Thats her powerset. She's beaten elder gods...shes controlled the GEB and Black Adam is gonna beat her?

Isn't GEB DC?

So would you agree if Adam has enhanced speed..he should probably use it on this chick before she can depower him? I mean like wouldn't it be somewhat suicidal of him to not use his speed in this instance? The last thing he would want is to be powerless.

Black Adam wins but speed doesn't have a thing to do with it even though it's a factor. We don't ignore comics and the way characters are portrayed and create imaginary characters that doesn't exist. Surfer would be nigh unbeatable if we debate primarily off of powerset.

Not Great Evil Beast the Great Beast.

So instead we more or less handicap them and keep them confined to how they fight in the comics. Even though we all know that at times writers have to write these people as acting dumb and not using their powers properly in order to continue the story.

Anything can happen in a comic, so that will never make sense to me.

Yes, because he can take it. In words of Black Adam himself.

"Black Adam does not scatter."

Yes, she isn't going to depower Adam if Dr. ****ing Fate can't do it.

GTFO here.

Is that your only argument? Speed? Always with the speed. She can tank super strong hits..she negates magic. She stomps Teth. He cant even use his lightning against her and your best argument is speed?
