On this Character Corner, we do our first solo episode on a villain. We talk about DC's Black Adam. Black Adam is such an interesting character because while a lot of what he does is wrong, the motives are something you can understand. Complexity like this makes a villain good. When you can make a character that slaughters an entire country of 2 million people sympathetic in a way, you're doing something right.
