Black Adam is summoned to our dimension by a device from Dr. Sivana. The villain initially speaks Egyptian, but in seconds he is able to learn English. He threatens to kill Sivana (the only man who can send him back to another dimension), but the Wickedest Scientist is quick clever to offer guidance in this "brave new world". Impressed by modernity ("A city whose towers dwarf even the temples of Memphis ... wagons, which move without beasts to pull them ...") Black Adam decides to rule the world. Meanwhile, Billy Batson runs away from Sivana's house and goes to Albuquerque, where his uncle Dudley works as stage magician.
