He is a former slave of Kahndaq and the former champion of Shazam the Great Wizard who had released The Seven Deadly Sins after his family was killed by assassins. This act would soon result in the death of millions and Shazam imprisoning him for five thousand years. He would later return from his imprisonment to save Kahndaq from huge destruction that awaits in the modern times.
He is portrayed by Dwayne Johnson, who also portrayed Maui in Moana, Luke Hobbs in The Fast and the Furious series, and The Foundation in Fortnite.
