What is the crown of Sabbac in Black Adam?
The crown of Sabbac is a mysterious ancient artefactforged by demons . The crown is made of a mineral called Eternium and is an instrumental tool in bringing the evil dead to life.
In the epic action movie, we go way back to 2600 BC, where the crown of Sabbac was coveted by the King of Kahndaq as he attempted to summon the demon Sabbac. That didn’t quite work, but his descendent Ishmael manages to succeed 5000 years later.
By acquiring the crown of Sabbac, and following its transcription which reads “Death is the only path to life,” Ishmael understands that by being killed, he can then come back to life as the embodiment of the evil demon Sabbac.
Sabbac is an incredibly strong villain, capable of flight, super strength, and blasting fire at anyone who dares to cross him. And it’s all thanks to the crown of Sabbac.
