Hate Sink Wiki

Mr. Sivana: Help! Somebody! Help me!
Thaddeus: You can't go crying to other people all the time. What sin best befits you, Father? Hmm?
Mr. Sivana: I'll give you anything. Money? The company? You want the company?
Thaddeus: There it is, Greed.
~ Mr. Sivana panicking then begging Thaddeus to spare him, also their final conversation.

Mr. Sivana is the overarching antagonist of the 2019 superhero film Shazam!. He was the founder of his company Sivana Industries, the husband of Mrs. Sivana, and the father of Sid and Thaddeus Sivana.

He was portrayed by John Glover.

What Makes Him a Hate Sink?[]

  • He is a sadistic and abusive father who often abuses and belittles Thaddeus and favors Sid over him, including allowing the latter to have a high ranking position in Sivana Industries while refusing to give the former a proper chance while he was an old man in the present.
    • He tries to make Thaddeus grow up too fast, not letting him bring toys to his relatives' house and telling him men don't go crying to their daddies when they're bullied.
    • He vehemently shuts down and belittles Thaddeus when he tries to explain his experience in the Rock of Eternity and cruelly blames him for losing his legs even though it was his own fault for loudly calling him "a miserable, whiny little shit" with his back turned to the road. Thaddeus will later imply he took the belittling up multiple notches after the aforementioned event.
  • He's a coward, as he panics after the other board members get slaughtered and then resorts to groveling to his son that he abused, which also makes him hypocritical due to as stated prior having chastised him for groveling himself before. He promises him his entire corporation simply to have his life spared.
  • While he does get crippled while Thaddeus was a kid and ends up being murdered by Greed while the former was an adult, these fates aren't played for satisfaction, but they're not played for sympathy either.
  • While it's not elaborated on enough how his power over Sivana Industries has made him think he's better than everyone else and callously dismissive of power in the form of magic (the Black Zero Event and Enchantress' juvenile antics made everyone aware of its existence), it fully aligns with the rest of his characterization, so it counts.
  • He is responsible for having Thaddeus Sivana going down the path of evil and causing all events of the film duology to transpire.
