In ancient Kahndaq, the slave Teth Adam had been given superpowers by the gods. But he used them for revenge and ended up in prison. Five millennia later, when he was released, he brought his own dark vision of justice to the world. Refusing to surrender, Teth Adam must face a band of modern-day heroes who make up the Justice Society - Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher, and Cyclone - who plan to send him back to prison for eternity.
