6) He’s Best Friends With Sinestro
What, villains can’t form friendships too?
During the Forever Evil story arc, the Crime Syndicate – evil doppelgangers of the Justice League from another Earth – come to our world and attempt to take over. We all know how much Black Adam hates those who enslave others, and here, he joins the fight against the Syndicate with a team of heroes and villains all committed to saving the Earth.
He’s put out of action, though, when Ultraman – Superman’s counterpart – smashes Adam’s jaw beyond repair, which leaves him unable to call on his powers. Thankfully for him, Sinestro creates a construct with his Yellow Lantern ring to reassemble his jaw. From that day on, Adam owes Sinestro a debt and the pair become firm friends.
Later on, Adam returns the favour when Sinestro needs his help in stopping an evil alien cult called the Paling. In order to be powerful enough to stop them, Sinestro gives Adam a Lantern power ring – increasing his already hefty power set.
