What is the Extent of Black Adams powers

I was reading his page and it said this
Teth is manipulated into a conflict with Superman by the mind controlling Dr. Psycho. While Superman states to himself that he will not hold back with Adam, he appears neither able to restrain or damage Teth during the fight. Regretful at having to combat a being he considers so noble, Adam simply turns his back on an impending blow from the Kryptonian that Superman states would have destroyed a moon
Teth is one of his personas

Black Adam is eventually betrayed by his villainous allies when it is revealed that Alex Luthor intended to use him as a mystical battery in his plot to manipulate the fabric of reality. Adam turns against the villains, and battles Superman Prime momentarily, though neither damages the other

  On one occasion, He was successfully able to hold his own against an assemblage of The Justice League, Justice Society, and The Teen Titans, Something neither Superman or Captain Marvel have been able to do

Does anyone now the limits of his powers

what do you mean extent of his powers ? Black Adam is basically a Superman level character ( well he is slighty stronger than Superman but not by much )... and his power is based on a Magical Force of Lightning...

He's basically DC's Billy (Captain Marvel) but he's older and a lot more psychotic
Billly's "s.h.a.z.a.m" powers comes from the classic greek/roman gods, speed of Mercury, stamina of Atlas, power of Hercules, Solomons smart mind etc
Black Adam's power comes from classic egyptian gods he's still powered by the same Shazam abbreviation/acronym , a funky magic word but the gods names are different, each letter stands for something different like the gods Horus, Amun etc

Like King was saying Adam would ran around Superman/WonderWoman level

Most people dismiss his feats in WW3 as PIS

@thaproblem99: He definitely isn't Superboy Prime levels. I think the issue you are laking about with them battling was infinite crisis and Prime was toying with him.

S	for the stamina of Shu	Using Shu's endurance, Black Adam can withstand and survive most types of extreme physical assaults. Additionally, he does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe and can survive unaided in space.
H	for the swiftness of Heru	By channeling Heru's speed, Black Adam can move at sub-light speeds in orbit. In outer space, Black Adam can fly at trans-light speeds, while on Earth he has been depicted running at a maximum Mach 500. He was able to give his speed to the Flash (Jay Garrick), running at incredible speeds with him.
A	for the strength of Amon	Black Adam has a phenomenal level of super strength, able to easily bend steel, punch through walls, and lift massive objects. Adam's strength is generally depicted of being on levels equal to those of Superman and Captain Marvel, though some writers have portrayed his strength as possibly outmatching them; on at least one occasion, he has been able to successfully hold his own against an assemblage of the Justice League, Justice Society, Great Ten, and the Teen Titans. This is something neither Superman nor Captain Marvel have been able to do.
Z	for the wisdom of Zehuti	Black Adam has instant access to a vast level of scholarly knowledge, which allows him to know multiple languages. The wisdom of Zehuti also provides him with counsel and advice in times of need.
A	for the power of Aton	Aton's power allows Black Adam to fly, fuels the magic thunderbolt that transforms Adam, enhances Adam's other physical abilities, and provides magic resistance against a massive amount of magic spells and attacks. Adam can use the lightning bolt as a weapon by dodging it and allowing it to strike an opponent or target. It allows him to travel to the Rock of Eternity.
M	for the courage of Mehen	This aspect is primarily psychological, and gives Black Adam superhuman amounts of inner strength from which to draw. His strength of mind renders him resistant to telepathy and mind control. In some depictions, the courage of Mehen also provides a degree of his invulnerability to harm.

S	for the stamina of Shu
H	for the swiftness of Heru
A	for the strength of Amon
Z	for the wisdom of Zehuti
A	for the power of Aton
M	for thecourage of Mehen

The World War 3 storyline at the end of 52 had Black Adam going toe to toe with much of the DCU that survived after Infinite Crisis. In a rage induced fit after the deaths of Isis and Osiris, he was just about unstoppable.

What really holds Adam back is the wastefulness of his own ambitions. He'll burn up a lot of energy, and yet accomplish very little. He comes off as very patient and calculating, but he's just driven too much by his own passions.

Black Adam

The original champion of Shazam, Teth Adam reigned from Ancient Khandaq, an Arab country near Egypt. He has been known as a villain as well as an anti-hero working with the JSA.
