Where Does ‘Black Adam’ Villain Sabbac Draw His Powers From?

The DC’s big release ‘Black Adam’ is finally in the theatres. Starring Dwayne Johnson, the movie made $67 million domestically on the opening weekend, setting a record. ‘The Rock’ gave quite a good performance despite the movie receiving an overall package of mixed reviews. However, Sabbac is a character in the film you certainly can’t ignore.

DC’s film ‘Black Adam‘ was released on October 21, 2022. Since we got our first look at Sabbac in the latest movie trailer, it was clear that he is the character who will appear as the main villain of the film. Let us take a closer look at our big villain and what is the source of the demonic powers that he possesses.

Who Is Sabbac?

Sabbac is a military intergang leader who became possessed by a demon and is determined to take over Kahndaq and the whole world. He is the alter ego of a human, Ishmael Gregor, however, he is extensively powerful. The villain made his debut comic appearance in ‘Captain Marvel, Jr. #4‘.

He is DC’s oldest villain, and if you are thinking, where did he get that weird name from, well, his name is actually an amalgamation of six evil lords (pretty much like Shazam’s). He also has a beast-like appearance and a hairy body with thorns instead of his original humanoid form.

Where Does The Villain Draw His Powers From?

If you are thinking that a powerful villain like him must be drawing powers from a really powerful source, then you are right. Sabbac is empowered by six of the worst demons in the DCEU itself. His powers mostly rely upon the evil forces of hell. And, he is presented as the opposite of the Marvel (Shazam!) family.

The supervillain gets his strength from Satan himself. Also, he possesses the body of Aym, and the wisdom of Belial. Moreover, he gets the flaming powers from Beelzebub, the evil courage of Asmodeus, and finally the flight of Cratius.
