The wizard Shazam recalls his attempts to find a successor over the centuries, choosing both the pharaoh Kha-Ef-Re and Prince Khufu too late, then disastrously empowering Teth-Adam, and finally creating the triumvirate of Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, and Captain Marvel, Jr. who have fought the resurrected Teth-Adam, now called Black Adam, innumerable times.
