I really disagree with this. Black Adam is AT BEST an antihero for a story or 2. He is a villain. He is a murderous megalomaniac closer to Dr Doom than Namor or Magneto. He runs his country and crushes without thought or mercy anyone who opposes his absolute rule. Namor has fought against tyranny to support others. He has friends and those he respects (Captain America). Magneto would gladly accept peace with humanity if he was given any reason to think it was possible. He is Malcolm X to Professor X's Martin Luther King Jr.

But Black Adam? A god complex with no regard for the lives of anyone. He cares for the prosperity of his country. Not any particular individual in it.

I generally compare him to Doctor Doom, personally.
