Biography[]

Ancient Times[]

Around 2600 B.C., the Council of Wizards chose the individual Hurut as their champion, bestowing among other abilities, the Speed of Heru. Soon after, Hurut discovered his father Teth-Adam dying from wounds inflicted by his enemies, leading him to bestow his powers to his father.[1]

While discovering the true identity of Clark Kent and blackmailing him to kill the Batman, Lex Luthor compared Superman to numerous deities, including Horus.[2]

Release of Teth-Adam[]

In 2021, Black Adam was released from his prison due to the actions of Adrianna Tomaz. During his subsequent fights with Intergang and the Justice Society, Teth-Adam made frequent use of the Speed of Heru.[1]
