The development team at NetherRealms announces that Black Adam will be a playable character in the upcoming superhero combat title Injustice: Gods Among Us.

Confirmation comes via the Twitter account of the company, which states, "Black Adam is playable in @InjusticeGame - enjoy a high-res look, RT, & let us know what you think!"

The image does not reveal any of the character's powers or whether he will have a specific location associated.

Black Adam was created in 1945 and he was initially part of the Marvel Family before starting to appear in the role of a villain in DC Comic products that featured Captain Marvel.

Since then, his origin has been ret-conned a couple of times and at the moment, he is an anti-hero that plays rough with other superpowered characters and wants only to clear his own name.
