Overview
Amon Tomaz (known as Osiris and sometimes Black Adam Jr.) is a fictional character featured in American comic books published by DC Comics. First debuting the 52 series, the character shares a significant connection with the anti-hero and villain character Black Adam and serves as a analogue Captain Marvel Jr. / Shazam Jr.
In the DC Universe, Amon is an Egyptian-born teenager who endured a brutal assault at the hands of Intergang, an organized crime syndicate equipped with advanced technology provided by the New Gods of Apokolips. Following the attack, he was saved by his older sister, Adrianna Tomaz (Isis) and Black Adam. Black Adam shared a portion of his own power with Amon, enabling him to assume the identity of Osiris. Osiris became a member of the Black Marvel Family, serving as a counterpart to the Marvel Family. In the New 52 reboot, Amon's character takes on a different portrayal as a non-superpowered, Kahndaqi-native teenager. He assumes the role of a freedom fighter and acts as a translator for the Sons of Adam, a group of revolutionaries dedicated to resurrecting Black Adam. During DC Rebirth, the character's original history as Osiris is restored.
In the Arrowverse television series Legends of Tomorrow, a different iteration of the character named Behrad Tarazi was introduced and played by Shayan Sobhian. Additionally, Amon Tomaz made his live-action debut in the DC Extended Universe film Black Adam (2022), portrayed by Bodhi Sabongui.
