Since the turn of the 21st century, however, Black Adam has been redefined by DC Comics writers Jerry Ordway, Geoff Johns, and David S. Goyer as an ancient Kahndaqi and corrupted antihero
Turning reactionary villains into woke antiheroes is based. We need to wokify comic books
The problem is that they undid his antihero phase by having him genocide a neighboring country, Bialya, the origin of the Blue Beetle scarab btw, then kept that genocide canon.
So now they’ve got a genocidal tyrant on the Justice League going “No, you don’t get it, I’ve CHANGED, bros!”
Oof, yeah. Can’t do an antihero with that on the record. Let’s do some comic book bullshit “it was a mass hallucination” “he was being mind controlled” “it happened in another dimension” or something. There’s plenty of ways to deal with that problem and none of them is “I’m sowwy I did a genocide”
