However, he has now grown too old to continue and is in need of a successor. The wizard explains that Billy was chosen due to his misfortune: The Wizard Shazam declares the new hero "Captain Marvel" and orders him to carry on his work, as a stone block suspended above his throne falls upon him, killing him as prophesied. Captain Marvel's first battle was with the mad scientist Doctor Sivana , who becomes Captain Marvel's arch-enemy.
While the majority of Billy's adventures feature him as a solo hero, he also fought evil on a regular basis accompanied by several other kids who share his powers to make up a superhero team called the Marvel Family later referred to as the Shazam Family due to the issues DC Comics faced over the "Marvel" and "Captain Marvel" trademarks.
The first members of the family, introduced in Whiz Comics 21 Sept. Unlike Billy, Freddy retains his year-old appearance as a superhero. The basic elements of Billy Batson's and Captain Marvel's origin story remained more or less intact through , with minor alterations over the years. The New Beginning had a year old Billy being forced to move in with Doctor Sivana, who in this version is the cruel uncle who throws Billy out into the street.
In his new origin story, Billy Batson is a moody and troubled year-old foster child living in Philadelphia who has gone through several foster homes. Sivana unleashes the ancient magical warrior Black Adam from his tomb, [98] the Wizard of the Rock of Eternity — the last of a council of beings who once controlled magic — begins abducting candidates to assess them for the job of being his champion.
He dismisses each of them for not being pure of heart. Eventually, the Wizard summons Billy, who is another unsuitable candidate, but Billy persuades the Wizard that perfectly good people "really don't exist," and that, while he himself tried to be good, the world dragged Billy down to its level. In desperation and seeing the "embers of good" within Billy, the dying Wizard passes on his powers and teaches Billy they can be accessed through the magic word "Shazam" when spoken with good intentions. After saying the magic word, Billy is struck by a bolt of lightning which transforms him into Shazam, a super-powered adult possessing super-strength, flight, and vast magical powers.
The Wizard dies and Shazam is transported back to Earth, where Billy reveals his new secret to Freddy. The two scheme to make money and score beer with Shazam's new powers, but Shazam is instead led to crime scenes where he is needed as a hero. Shazam and Freddy have a falling out when Shazam refuses to change back into Billy, and as soon as Freddy heads back home, Shazam is attacked by Black Adam. When Adam again attacks, unleashing the Seven Deadly Sins on downtown Philadelphia and threatening to kill the other kids, Billy shares his powers with them, who all become magic-powered adult superheroes save for Darla, who remains a child.
Shazam's entry into the country is interpreted by the locals as illegal US entry into their territory. While exploring the Rock of Eternity, Eugene finds a formerly sealed off area of the Rock: The character obtains powers through a transformation from a human persona into a superpowered entity.
When the human persona, Billy Batson, says the magic word " Shazam! Though the link to the specific mythological figures is de-emphasized in some modern-day stories, traditionally the letters in the name Shazam each represent a specific superhuman ability:. In classic stories, simply saying the word "Shazam! In several stories, he is shown to be susceptible to high-powered magic, [] which can weaken or de-power him, [] and, in some older stories, to significantly high voltages of lightning or electricity, which would make him revert to Billy Batson form. Jerry Ordway's s The Power of Shazam!
However, he was required to remain on the Rock of Eternity and could only be away from it for 24 hours at a time. Since the reboot, Shazam's powers have been slightly altered. Speaking the magic word "Shazam" does not cause a transformation if Billy does not want it to, and can be used to cast magic spells other than the transformation. In Superman June , Superman found himself at odds with "Captain Thunder", a superhero displaced from another Earth and another time.
Thunder had been magically tricked by his archenemies in the Monster League of Evil into committing evil himself, which led to his doing battle with Superman.
Captain Thunder, whose name was derived from Captain Marvel's original moniker, was a thinly veiled pastiche of Marvel—down to his similar costume, his young alter ego named "Willie Fawcett" a reference to the publisher of the original Captain Marvel stories, Fawcett Comics , and a magic word "Thunder! He got his power from rubbing a magic belt buckle with a thunder symbol on it and saying "Thunder". Superman held him while he used his wisdom to escape the effects of the spell.
At the time of Superman , DC had been publishing Shazam! The Flashpoint comics miniseries, written by Geoff Johns with art by Andy Kubert , featured an alternate timeline accidentally created by the Flash , who then helped the heroes of this timeline to restore history. One of those heroes is Captain Thunder — an alternative version of Captain Marvel who has six alter-egos, rather than one, and a scarred face as the result of a fight with Wonder Woman , who in this timeline is a villain. The six children, collectively known as "S.
Pedro's pet tiger Tawny also transforms into a more powerful version of himself via the magic lightning. The six children later transform into Captain Thunder to help Flash and his allies stop the war between Aquaman 's Atlantean army and Wonder Woman's Amazonian forces. Captain Thunder briefly fights Wonder Woman to a draw before being transformed back into the six children by Flash's accomplice Enchantress , who is revealed to be a traitor. After the conclusion of the miniseries, the three new children from the Flashpoint timeline — Eugene, Pedro, and Darla — were incorporated into the DC Universe via the Shazam!
In the alternate universe Elseworlds book Elseworld's Finest: In the dark alternate future shown in The Dark Knight Strikes Again , Captain Marvel is visibly aged, with receding white hair and glasses. Lex Luthor, who has captured Mary Marvel, coerces him into working for him by threatening to kill her. During an alien attack on Metropolis , Marvel is trapped underneath a collapsing building with no way out, and admits that Billy Batson — here, clearly defined as a separate person from Marvel, rather than simply transforming into him — died eight years ago of unspecified health problems.
As a result, when he next speaks his word, he will cease to exist, like any dream that no longer has anyone to remember it. His last words to Wonder Woman are to give everyone his best, noting that it was nice existing, before he calls down his lightning and destroys himself. In the dark alternate future of the Elseworlds comic Superman: Distant Fires , where most of humanity has been destroyed in nuclear war, an adult Billy Batson becomes obsessed with Wonder Woman when they become part of a small community of survivors of the holocaust, with most of the surviving superhumans having lost their powers or dealing with altered abilities.
When the now-powerless Clark Kent joins their community, Batson's resentment of Superman becomes insanity, as he provokes his transformation into Captain Marvel despite use of this power causing damage to Earth. In this version, Billy Batson is an adult who now matches the appearance of his superhero identity. The human hostility towards superheroes has made him uneasy, and he has not transformed into Captain Marvel for several years.
Batson has become the brainwashed servant of Lex Luthor, who uses Mister Mind's mind-controlling worm offspring to keep him in check and bend him to his will. Nevertheless, Batson's potential as a being powerful enough to rival Superman causes many others to react in fear and unease when he mingles with them, believing it is a non-costumed Captain Marvel that serves Luthor. Events finally cause him to transform into Captain Marvel, and he unleashes a force that could destroy the world.
When the authorities try to stop it by dropping a nuclear bomb, Captain Marvel — spurred by Superman telling him that due to his ties to both humanity and the superhuman community, he is the only one capable of choosing which one to save — intercepts the bomb and summons his lightning to detonate it while it is still airborne, sacrificing himself to save as many lives as possible, both human and metahuman. The nuclear blast still kills a large number of heroes, but does cool the war-like attitudes of the survivors. Superman uses Marvel's cape as the symbol of a new world order in which humans and superhumans will now live in harmony.
In 52 52 May 2, , a new Multiverse is revealed, originally consisting of 52 identical realities, one of which is designated Earth As a result of Marvel Family foe Mister Mind "eating" aspects of this reality, it takes on visual aspects similar to the pre-Crisis Earth-S, including the Marvel Family characters. The Earth-5 Captain Marvel reappeared in Final Crisis 7, along with an army of Supermen from across the Multiverse to prevent its destruction by Darkseid. Little is revealed about her, other than the fact that her civilian name is Sahar Shazeen, and she is shown wielding a pair of swords during battle.
A Captain Marvel miniseries, Shazam!: The Monster Society of Evil , written and illustrated by Jeff Smith creator of Bone , was published in four page installments between February and July Following the lead and continuity of Smith's Monster Society of Evil miniseries, it was initially written and drawn by Mike Kunkel , creator of Herobear. Mazahs is a corrupted alternate-universe version of Shazam, introduced in the —14 Forever Evil DC Comics crossover event series. He is the super-powered alter-ego of Alexander Luthor of Earth Prime Earth's Lex Luthor and his team sneak in to the Justice League Watchtower where the Syndicate has Alexander hostage, and remove the duct tape over his mouth, allowing Alexander to speak the magic word "Mazahs!
While Prime Earth's Shazam is known for sharing his powers with others, Mazahs kills other superbeings and takes their powers for his own, as when he kills the Syndicate's speedster Johnny Quick. She also reveals she is carrying his child, who is prophesied to bring an end to the world. Exploiting his ability to use the powers of those he has killed, Mazahs easily takes down both the Syndicate and Luthor's team, but Prime Earth Lex Luthor having the same voice as Mazahs manages to call down the lightning, using a lightning-rod that Batman had retrieved to try and use against Johnny Quick based on his planned defense against the Flash, and transform Mazahs into his human form.
Sealing Alexander's mouth, Lex stabs him with a knife, killing him. Superwoman later gives birth to Mazahs's child in Justice League 50, and uses the baby's power-stealing abilities - inherited from his father and by her using his magic word—to remove abilities the members the Prime-Earth Justice League had inherited from their time on Apokolips after the death of Darkseid. The story ends with the orphaned baby having absorbed both the Omega Effect from Lex Luthor as well as the Anti-Life Equation from Justice League associate Steve Trevor , transforming him into a resurrected—yet still infantile—Darkseid.
In the prequel comic to the video game Injustice: Similar to the Golden Age version, this Shazam is suggested to have two personalities: Billy Batson is a separate person from Shazam. In Year One he, like the Flash, is somewhat skeptical of Superman's intentions, as his actions are often immoral.
Ultimately, Shazam decides to stay and support the Regime, devoted to its cause. He becomes the object of Harley Quinn's affection, being bound and gagged by her in Year Four. Eventually, Zeus is forced to return Billy's power after the Highfather of New Genesis intervenes in the conflict.
In Year Five, Shazam's relationship with Harley is complicated when she confronts him about being in the Regime despite their growing tyranny. In the traditional Shazam! A pink rabbit version of Captain Marvel, Hoppy the Marvel Bunny , appeared in his own stories featuring a funny-animal cast. The current-continuity version of Shazam has a Shazam Family made up of his five foster siblings, with whom he can share his powers at will: Shazam can also share his powers with Tawny, a tiger at the local city zoo whom he considers family.
The Marvel Family's non-powered allies have traditionally included Dr. The New 52 reboot of Shazam! Other Marvel Family foes include the evil robot Mister Atom ; the "World's Mightiest Immortal" Oggar , a god with magical powers who had been a former pupil of the Wizard Shazam; Aunt Minerva , a female bank robber and gangster inspired by Ma Barker ; King Kull , an intelligent, immortal caveman; and Ibac and Sabbac , demon-powered supervillains who transform by speaking magic words made up of beings who give them power in a manner similar to how the Shazam powers work.

Beck and writer Rod Reed prepared seven sample installments of a comic strip, but syndicates expressed no interest in it. Reed suspected that the DC lawsuit was the syndicates' reason, for fear of becoming parties in the ongoing litigation. Captain Marvel's adventures have contributed a number of elements to both comic book culture and pop culture in general. The most notable contribution is the regular use of Superman and Captain Marvel as adversaries in Modern Age comic book stories.
The two are often portrayed as equally matched and, while Marvel does not possess Superman's heat vision , X-ray vision or superhuman breath powers, the magic-based nature of his own powers are a weakness for Superman. Superduperman, endowed with muscles on muscles, does battle with Captain Marbles, a Captain Marvel caricature. In contrast to Captain Marvel's perceived innocence and goodness, Marbles is greedy and money-grubbing, and a master criminal. Superduperman defeats Marbles by tricking him into hitting himself.
