What is the story of Black Adam that Dwayne Johnson is playing?

Black Adam is the protector of the fictional city Kahndaq in DC comics, which is located near the country of Egypt on the African continent. 

Black Adam aka Teth-Adam is born in the year 1279 BC. Teth-Adam is the son of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II. He impresses one of the high priests, the wizard Shazam, with his good deeds. The wizard then gives Teth-Adam the power to become the superhero, Mighty Adam.

However, Tenth Adam becomes a corrupted person later and to rule the whole of Egypt, he kills the Pharoah. The wizard Shazam, after watching, takes away Adam’s power and buries him in his father’s tomb. In death, they refer to the former hero as “Khem-Adam” in comics which translates to “Black Adam”. Dwayne Johnson will play the part when Adam comes to life 5000 years later and wants to take back his powers.
