It only make sense that Dr. Sivana shew up in the bad concealment adaptation ofShazam!Other than Black Adam , Sivana has been Shazam ’s arch - foe since twenty-four hours one . The comic books have usually depict Sivana as a in the first place intellectual villain . However , the pic is presenting Sivana as a triple threat guy wire - brainiac , muscle , and bald . There ’s a point in theDCcomics timeline where Sivana acquires the power to walk through walls . Hopefully , the motion picture does n’t take Shazam to pass down a hallway or he ’s in deep trouble .
