Black Rain

And so it begins. Black Adam -- one of the world's most powerful meta-humans -- has gone beyond the brink. In less than two days Black Adam has destroyed an entire country. He has slain millions of innocents. And it's only going to get worse.

His next stop is Oolong Island. And though some of the inhabitants there show fear -- the man after them has the power of six gods, after all -- one of them seems to be gleefully anticipating the showdown. Indeed, Dr. Thaddeus Sivana seems to relish in the coming showdown. And though he is known for grandiose posturing, he's not stupid, either.

Bruno Mannheim doesn't seem particularly concerned, either. Which means there is more to Intergang's plans than there initially seemed. Would they really have engineered four Apokoliptian monstrosities simply for the right to pass smuggled guns through the Sinai Peninsula? No, there is more at work here…

Of course, we know how this all ends. It ends with World War III. We've already seen forces beginning to mobilize, but things haven't quite yet hit their apex. What will Black Adam do to finally set things off? What will happen next week when he directs his rage at the inhabitants of Oolong Island?

Whatever happens, it won't be pretty.

Personally, I think killing Isis and Osiris was not necessary to advance the plot, Osiris death alone should have been enough to make Adam go after Intergang and the Four Horsemen.

Having BA kill a whole country full of people kinda makes it not possible to see BA as even an Anti-Hero (and for the life of me, I don’t know why Captain Marvel hasn’t intervened).

I don’t know how you allow a guy who kills the majority of the population of a country to run around or come out as just being “misunderstood”.

Obviously someone wants Adam on a rampage, the question is who? My bet, Darkseid or believe it or not possibly Mr. Mind?

Another question I have is about Captain Marvel? I am sure the wisdom of Solomon told him Adam was going to snap (wasn't hard to guess without the wisdom of Solomon) so why did he not intervene? He could take away Adam's powers or intervene, why didn't he?
