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!"
