Question regarding Black Adam

[WonderWoman]

I was reading "52" and had a thought of, what do the Khandaqis refer to him as? Emperor Adam, Ambassador Adam? Or something?

 

[The Question]

Probably something in the native language meaning ruler.

It puzzles me, maybe they would lol. But I still think there's something more to it. Thanks Question.

If anyone else knows, feel free to answer.

It depends on what the traditional royal titles of Khandaq are.

Most likely he is known as Teth Adam (or possibly Dev Adam) to most of Khandaq, although they'd probably also refer to him as King Adam, however how this works is probably dependent on Khandaaq's language. He might be "Shah Adam" or "Adam al-Malik" as opposed to "King Adam," even if the meaning is possibly similar.

Depending on how closely tied Khandaq was to Egypt during Adam's time, he might also have enforced some of the old school titulary customs, which could also mean that he might be called Nisu Adam or Teth Nisu Adam (Mighty King Adam) according to Egyptian custom (or perhaps "Pharoah Adam", or Per-aa Teth Adam but this seems less likely to me, even IF Khandaq is closely tied to Egypt).

This then could also mean he has a number of custom titles that represent his past deeds, so he probably has a "liberator of Khandaq" as a title somewhere. But probably not the "Four Accession" names typical of Egyptian Kings (since two of these names are Egypt-as-a-country specific; he could still have some derrivation of the three that would extol his virtues as a living god).

Wow, dude! That was a REALLY good answer! And it's not even my question!

Actually i'm getting quite tired of him. In 52 i really wanted someone to put him in his place. Which is weird since kara i figure would be the one since she basically kicked the jla asses. Oh well.

 

[The Question]

Why? What's wrong with him?

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

i liked when he didnt get too much exposure, now he's bleh, you get too much of a good thing and it gets ruined.
