Billy Batson & the Magic of Shazam! #13
In "Kid Games," Billy Batson and Mary continue their field trip to the Fawcett City Museum, where they encounter Theo Adam—once Black Adam, now a blank slate with no memory of his past, only a deep-seated dislike for Captain Marvel. When Theo meets Freddy Freeman, whose own feelings mirror his, the tension escalates until a slip of the tongue triggers a sudden, shocking transformation. Written by Art Baltazar and Franco, with art by Mike Norton and colors by Zac Atkinson, this issue blends mystery and magic in a story that redefines identity and legacy. Cover by Byron Vaughns.

On a field trip to the Fawcett City Museum, Mary and Billy meet Theo Adam, who has no memory of his former existence as Black Adam (except that he doesn't like Captain Marvel). He meets Freddy Freeman, who also doesn't like Cap, and accidentally speaks the name of the wizard, which immediately tranforms him into Black Adam.
