    • One of the sons of Ramesses II is Prince Khufu Maat Kha-Tar who, with his beloved Chay-Ara, discovers a Thanagarian spaceship containing Nth metal. Kha-Tar is advised by the wizard Nabu (actually a Lord of Order) and his half-brother, the warrior prince Mighty Adam of Khandaq, blessed with the power of Shazam. Together they fight various threats to Egypt, including Vandal Savage and the original Metamorph. Kha-Tar and Chay-Ara are eventually murdered by a mad priest of Set, creating a cycle of reincarnation that eventually leads to them becoming the original Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Nabu, realising his mortal form is growing weak, places his spirit in the Talismans of Fate. Mighty Adam returns to Khandaq, where his hard definition of justice (perhaps influenced by the demoness Blaze) leads to his being known as Black Adam, and to Shazam removing his powers and entombing him.
