Black Adam/Kahndaq



Kahndaq Black Adam is the paragon of power drain, being able to do so with both of his basic attacks and either of his specials. That also makes the LexCorp Set his natural archnemesis.

Strategy
His power drain effect on combo ender works similar to Ra's Al Ghul's Scimitar's effect, albeit less than the gear when maxed out, although it is recommended to equip him with the gear to further increase the powerdrain effect when the two are combined together to streghten his power.

The Thunder King deals an additional 0.8% of his damage stat 5 times (4% total) upon using a combo ender or a special. When attached this is affected by basic damage boosts, but it is not affected by basic crit; on a special, it is not affected by special damage boosts.

Power drain immunity (such as Lobo/Prime's passive) will negate his power drains, despite not displaying the "power drain immune" text popup, and also negate the electric damage-over-time from his combo ender (but not his specials).

Good with

 * Gears and/or Characters that focuse on either utilizing combo-ender (as mentioned above), or faster power generation so he can use his specials faster (such as Green Lantern/Regime, Harley Quinn/Animated), or, if preferred, pieces from Gear Set that can add DOT to specials to increase the damage from his Electrical DOT (LexCorp Set, The Ibistick).

Good against

 * Aquaman/Regime: Since his passive revolves around his Supermove, constant power draining will keep him from reaching 3 bars.
 * Batman/Arkham Origins: Black Adam's power drain on combo ender is extremely useful against Arkham Origins Batman as draining his power will cause Batman to use Explosive Batarangs instead of Winged Avenger.
 * Shazam/Prime : normally, he won't be powerdrained through specials, but as Black Adam's combo-ender also power drain the opponent, thus, reducing the minimal effectiveness of Shazam.

Countered by

 * LexCorp Set : The set's effect can reverse the powerdrain effects from Black Adam.
 * Lobo/Prime, Batman/Arkham Knight, Static/Prime: For their power drain immunity, which means that his whole passive is ineffective on them.
 * Aquaman/Injustice 2: upon using his special(s), Aquaman can revert all DOT (rinses) on him and put it on his opponent with the effect DOUBLED. Thus, this can backfire on Black Adam if to be the case.

Abilities
Here are Black Adam's abilities. While his special 2 is visually identical and named similarly to Black Adam/Prime's Black Magic, Kahndaq Black Magic is not an inherent power drain special. The only power it can drain is that from his passive, and there is no large additional power drain at the end of the special, nor does it have its damage halved.
