In 2600 BC, the tyrannical king of Kahandak, Ahak Tan, created the crown of Subak to gain great power. After attempting a rebellion, a young slave boy is given the powers of Shazam by the Wizards’ Council, transforming him into the heroic champion of Kahndaq, who kills Ahk-Ton and ends his reign.
In the present day, Kahandaq is oppressed by the mercenary organization Intergang, as Adriana Tomaz, an archaeologist and resistance fighter, tries to find Sabak’s crown prince with the help of her brother Karim and his associates Samir and Ismail. Is. As Adriana takes the crown, the Intergang ambushes them and kills Samir, forcing Adriana to recite a hymn that awakens Teth-Adam, whom she believes to be Kahandq’s champion. While he is slaughtering most of the Intergang soldiers, US government official Amanda Waller perceives Adam as a threat and contacts the Justice Society to capture him. Justice Society members Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Cyclone, and Atom Smasher arrive in time to stop Adam’s murder and convince Adriana that Adam was not a buried savior, but an imprisoned lunatic.
Ismail reveals himself as the leader of the Intergang in Kahandaq and kidnaps Adriana’s teenage son Amon, who has stolen the crown and hid it. Adam, Adriana, and the Justice Society find the crown and plan to trade it for Amon. Reaching Ishmael, he reveals himself as the last descendant of King Ahaktun and demands his rightful place on the throne. Adriana willingly gives up the crown to save Amon’s life, but Ishmael betrays his part of the deal and shoots Amon, causing Adam to lose control and destroy the hideout with his powers. He kills Ishmael and wounds Amon. Guilt-stricken, Adam flees to the ruins of Ahktun’s palace and tells Hawkman that the legend of Kahandak’s champion was misrepresented. It was Harut, son of Adam, who was given the powers of Shazam and became the champion of Qandaq. Knowing that Harut is invulnerable, Ahik Toon instructs the assassins to execute Harut’s family, including Adam and Harut’s mother.

When Sabbac summons the Legions of Hell to terrorize Kahndaq, the people are rallied by Amon, Adrianna and Karim to repel the undead as the Justice Society prepares to confront Sabbac.

As he fights Sabak alone, Fate uses astral projection to free Adam while speaking to him in his cryosleep. Sabbac kills Fate, and as a result, it dissolves the force field and allows the other heroes to fight, and Adam arrives just as Sabbac is about to kill the Justice Society.
