Plot

 * Flashback scene from 10 years ago: archaeologists Theo Adam and C.C. Batson (Billy's father) work for Sivana Industries and are excavating the tomb of Ramses II. Adam finds Khem-Adam's scarab nearby. He becomes obsessed with it and kills Batson to steal it. The Wizard learns of this and begins to narrow his search of the chosen one to Batson's son. Doctor Sivana learns of this and studies Theo Adam for years.
 * In present day, Billy Batson is talking with his Shazm! family about how cool it was to help defend Earth in The Justice League III 's finale. The Shazam family are on a trip to Metropolis. Billy wants to approach Superman to ask about any more adventures, but doesn't know where to find him. He has taken an indefinite absence from the Justice League. He meets with Red Tornado in the Hall of Justice.
 * Meanwhile, Mister Mind releases Doctor Sivana from prison. With the 7 Deadly Sins defeated in Shazam!, his last hope for the Wizard's powers lie with Theo Adam's scarab. He manipulates Theo Adam to use the scarab, by saying Shazam! and he turns into Black Adam, the Ancient Egyptian legend. Sivana tells him that the Wizard, who took his powers in Black Adam is dead, and he lent his powers to Billy Batson. Sivana hopes that Black Adam and Shazam! destroy each other, in order for him to obtain the power from both the Shazam staff and Black Adam scarab.
