In 52, Captain Marvel and a group of magic users managed to change Black Adam's word. We know the new one isn't Isis, Osiris, Marvel, Shazam or Batson.
So what do you think the word is?
My guess, it's the one phrase he can't bring himself to say. "I'm Sorry"

No, that would be a Zatanna spell. ;)
I'm going to throw this one out
"Forgive me"
Hmmm....
"Expelliarmus!!!"
No, that would cause World War III to be caused by Lord Voldemort... and lots of J K's lawyers will magically appear in the DC Comics offices. :rolleyes:
Uhhmmm....
"Craptastic!"
No, that would just make World War III turn out worse then 52... Oops... They already did that in the first few issues of WWIII.
*sigh*

that's it! because he's the marvel formerly known as black adam.
In all seriousness , I hope Billy didn't pull one of those reverse Jedi mind tricks and use a word like "sorry " or "forgiveness."
Fluffybunnynutters would be sooo much harder to figure out, AND have the added bonus of when he DID, he would still have to utter it all the time.
"Hold, fools! you shall now face the wrath of Black Adam!!!"
"....sigh..... Fluffybunnynutters.."
<lightning strikes>
"Stop...stop laughing.."
Y-M-C-A? (it's fun to stay at the)
I'm just sayin' he is in a tight black jumpsuit with a lightning bolt on it. Clearly, he's disco.

Or along those lines... maybe he'd have to sing his magic words...
"
I feel pretty! Oh so Pretty"
I've figured it out!
[spoiler]Black Adam gets a new addition to his costume: a black pimp hat, and his new magic word is....
BAWITDABA!
Either that, or "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"[/spoiler]
I've got it! His new word (or rather phrase) is...
"I've got a cunning plan!"
Black A-dam, Black A-Dam, he wears jet black span-dex...

Interesting. I learned something similar to that one in the gist of...
"I'm a mother pheasant plucker. I pluck mother pheasants. I'm the most pleasant mother pheasant plucker who ever plucked a mother pheasant."
Ooo.. I think I like that version better. :D
i didnt kill Cap!!! or Civil War! :P
The magic word is: mekkalekkahi-mekkahineyho
Or maybe: Mahna-mahna
I think they opened up a dictionary while blindfolded and gave him a completely random word, figuring that if even they didn't know it, there's no way he would ever guess it.
Unfortunately, the word they chose was "the".

(Great movie. Was on AMC last week)
I am not Namor?
Well, he's got it back. Wonder what it is?
What do you mean he has it back? Teth-adam is Black Adam again? When did this happen?
Although I haven't read it yet, in Countdown, Black Adam arrives and saves Mary Marvel.
Not entirely correct, cat
[spoiler]
Mary Marvel wanders into a building where Black Adam is being beset by a group of thugs. While he is wearing the costume, in taking the thugs out, he doesn't really do anything that an in shape, insane, ticked off human couldn't do. IIRC, anyway.
[/spoiler]
So its unclear as to whether or not he figured out what the word was.
Ok, I just read Countdown issues 51-48 and it does look like Black Adam is back. Also Superman has returned, when did this happen? Anyway Adam smashed his fist through a statue so I would guess he has his powers back. So far no explanation how. That thing with Jimmy Olsen though, huh?

What- you've never seen a karate expert smash a cinderblock? :D
Im still not convinced BA got his powers back
less than a month after he lost them. Its just bad storytelling and cheapens the initial loss into nothingness.
Gah-ah-olly!
GILLIGAN!!!

... ah good times.
-Starts to whistle "Hot Blooded" and tries on a hair piece.-
If I'm not mistaken, it hasn't been a month since black adam lost his powers but rather 13 months. Remember 52 was in the lost year of DC, with one year later books going along with it. So you had the end of fifty two, then all of one year later, and then now countdown. It took much longer for Black Adam to find his word, and a miniseries for him is coming out to explain it all, pretty excited to find out how he did it.
The beginning of OYL stories started immediately after 52. Countdown started with the most recent continuity, though I'm not sure exactly how much time passed between OYL's start and when Countdown began, but it's probably a few months.
Well, in the latests countdown:
[spoiler]Black Adam is fully powered, but summons lightning by saying "SHAZAM!". So some how he's managed to not only figure out the word, but change it back... Anywho, he tells Mary to tell Captain Marvel that he's "sorry" if she sees him again. By the way he said it, I'm betting his word was "Sorry".[/spoiler]
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
Ok, she looks hot in the new duds. Seriously.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that. She is smoking hot now. I am loving where this story is going, Mary will be equal to Freddy now, when he is done with his trials that is. I wonder what Teth-Adam will do now?
Imperi- EEEH!!
Sorry, other pointy-eared guy took that one..
I saw a pic. Black latex cheerleader anyone?
isn't she, like, 12?
