Now keep in mind Shazam is the name of the wizard who gave Billy Batson the ability to change into Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel has indeed had sidekicks although they are referred to as "Leiutenants". They are: Captain Marvel Jr* (CM3)...  ...and Billy's sister Mary Marvel.  When compared to other mainstream heroes Captain Marvel's set of characters are a little bit more whimsical and silly than say, Superman's or Batman's. Recently, DC Comics has been paying special attention to the "Shazam" mythos and are attempting to modernize the concept in a 12-issue series titled THE TRIALS OF SHAZAM!. The Wizard Shazam is dead. Destroyed by an Eclipso-possessed Spectre. Captain Marvel is left in charge--given the full power of Shazam--and the Lt Marvels (Junior and Mary) are left powerless. Mary is left in a coma at a hospital after falling into the sea due to her losing her powers while in flight. Apparently the mantle of "Shazam" will fall upon Freddy Freeman, who is Captain Marvel Junior. Since Billy will now be assuming Shazam's role as wizard, Freddy is poised to become the new Marvel. Here is Captain Marvel's present "wizard" form:  www.marvelfamily.com is an excellent resource for information on all things regarding Captain Marvel/Shazam! *Note: Captain Marvel Jr was Elvis Presley's favorite superhero. Elvis fashioned his famous hairdo after the character and his famous 1970's stage outfits, short caped and all, bear a striking resemblance to Cap Jr. In return, DC Comics also made Junior an Elvis fan. |
