Amon Tomaz, known as Osiris, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Making his full debut in 52 #23, the character serves as analogue to Captain Marvel Jr. / Shazam Jr, sharing a significant connections to the character Black Adam, who is depicted as both a villain and anti-hero.

The character is initially depicted as an Egyptian teenager enslaved by Intergang, an organized crime syndicate with ties to the New Gods of Apokolips. His sister, Isis, and Black Adam strive to free him, but he suffers severe injuries. Unable to heal him, Black Adam grants him power, transforming him into Osiris and joining the Black Marvel Family as Adam's protege. They face conflicts with the Teen Titans, Suicide Squad, and Amanda Waller due to their reputation and involvement in Kahndaq's affairs. Ultimately, Amon and Adrianna are killed by the Four Horsemen of Apokolips while discredited in the eyes of the public due to Waller's manipulations. In Brightest Day, Osiris is revived and seeks to resurrect his sister and Black Adam. Guided by the Life Entity in the White Lantern Corps, he joins Deathstroke's Titans, but his corruption and willingness to kill others are gradually revealed.

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 although his resurrection alongside Isis's own is reverted to having been killed by the Four Horsemen of Apokolips.

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. Within the movie's version, the character is expressed as Adrianna's son rather than younger brother. In the movie, her brother was named Karim and was portrayed by Mohammed Amer.^[1][2]
