You are wrong. Black Adam was a recurring villain in DC's Captain Marvel/Shazam series. He became a bigger name character with DC's 52 series in the mid 2000s, where he had a really good storyline. 52 was a huge hit among normal comics nerds and exposed the character to people who had never read Captain Marvel before. In that series he looked like this



i was wrong about it being a SLJ-level likeness rip but in the mid-2000s everybody was hooting and hollering about how the rock looks like and should play Black Adam. Source: The Rock



so i feel my point stands that if he had just done it then instead of farting around for 15 freaking years he'd be a trillionaire

1) how many issues constituted the crisis of infinite earths saga
2) how did the hero "psylocke" gain their powers
3) how many canonical lantern factions are there
4) who was wonder woman's most recent love interest (by publication date)

the prize for getting all these right is an all-expenses-paid trip to the nearest avid vat

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
The Rock would have probably been a good Shazam about 10 years ago. Distinctive look and you could really have him play up the idea of what a kid would imagine a superhero being like. Have him play the role less like a tough guy and more like a big manchild. Sort of like his performance in that Southland Tales showed he could play himself as a bit cartoonishly goofy.

I don't know who else would have been a good black Adam fit in the same window, through. Screw it, just roid up Vin to play Black Adam.

1) No loving clue. If I have to guess, 12. I know DC did a lot of 12 issues "maxi-series" back in the day.
2) Mutant X-gene, gained her combat powers from having her mind go into the body of a ninja but I don't know the circumstances of that
3) There's the seven colors, Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, plus black. So that's 8. I know there are White Lanterns but I don't know if they are a faction, I thought they were like, a state any Lantern could achieve by mastering themsleves or some poo poo. There's also those killer robots the Guardians made which are powered by the same stuff as Lanterns, do those count? Final answer, 8-10
4) I know she had something going on with Superman for a hot minute there, so I'm saying Superman.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

SAG AFTRA is really gonna strike. Midnight PT tomorrow is the final call but word on the street is it would take a miracle to avoid it.

The "miracle" in this case is something akin to 3 ghosts visiting Zazlav tonight, which means of course the strike is all but gonna happen.

This will also shut down oversees shooting too. Basically what little there was happening after the WGA strike is also gonna grind to a halt.

crisis did have 12 issues in the main series but it was a crossover event which also constituted 40 tie-in issues at the time of publication
and the orange lantern corps. isn't a faction because larfleeze is the only member, and the indigo tribe and the star sapphires aren't lanterns
lastly the united states only has 46 states, as virginia, massachusetts, pennsylvania and kentucky are actually commonwealths

I'm afraid that's a failing grade. turn in your badge and your gun and report for castration if applicable
