Alter Ego: The Big Cheese, the World's Mightiest Mortal, Captain Whitebread, Captain Thunder
Status
Occupation: News Reporter for Whiz Radio(102.6)
Martial Status: Single
Legal Status: US Citizen
Group Affiliation(s): Marvel Family, currently the Quintessence; Justice League of America
Origin
Place of Birth: San Francisco
Known Relatives: Clarence Charles Batson (Father/Deceased), Marylin Batson (Mother/Deceased), Sinclair Batson (Cousisn/Deceased), Ebenezer Batso n(Uncle), Mary Batson/Mary Bromfield/Mary Marvel (Sister), Frederick Christopher "Freddy" Freeman/Captain Marvel Jr .(Friend of the Family)
History
Billy and Mary become orphans when their parents are killed by Theo Adam after uncovering a jeweled scarab at a Sivana-sponsored excavation in Egypt. Mary is adopted and assumes the name Mary Bromfield. Billy is entrusted into the care of his uncle Ebenezer, who keeps the money left to him for Billy's upkeep and turns Billy out into the street.
Later, Billy is guided to the cave of SHAZAM by a mysterious stranger, who is eventually revealed to be the spirit of his father, Clarence Charles Batson. After bestowing his powers upon Billy, SHAZAM is killed when his cave collapses.
The scarab turns out to be a focus Teth-Adam's power, after it was stripped from him and now-Black Adam had his memory erased and lead a "normal" life as Theo Adam. When "Theo" discovers the scarab's secret and transforms into Black Adam, he sets out to destroy Captain Marvel, once and for all. Their fight destroyed most of Fawcett City's World Fair exhibit, ruining Sivana's financial empire in the process.
Needless to say, Captain Marvel is successful in defeating Black Adam. SHAZAM strips Adam of his powers and memory, this time taking his voice as well, ensuring he can no longer call upon the powers of SHAZAM, before Captain Marvel turns him in for the murder of Billy's parents.
Captain Nazi, who cripples Freddy Freeman, prompting Billy and Mary to bestow of portion of their power on Freddy, transforming him into Captain Marvel Junior.
SHAZAM's past and his relationship with Satanus and Blaze are delved into further. Satanus and Blaze are SHAZAM's children, birthed by a demoness who seduced SHAZAM. Blaze also facilitates the return of Black Adam. After an epic battle, the Marvel family and SHAZAM, with help from Uncle Marvel, Mister Tawny, Ibis and Bullet Man, imprison Blaze in the Rock of Eternity and banish Black Adam to a distant star.
The second year of this series starts with Billy and Freddy having a falling out, with Freddy more or less moving to New York.
Shortly after, Captain Marvel heads off to Venus on a rescue mission for some stranded astronauts. When he arrives, he finds Doctor Sivana working with a race of Venusian worms to mount an invasion of Earth. To cut a long story short, Captain Marvel uses a Boom Tube to send the worms into outer space to die. One last worm survives, the advance scout, who finds he retains the psychic abilities of his perished brethren. Thus is born the evil which is Mister Mind.
Captain Marvel Junior andCaptain Nazi have a rematch, Captain Marvel teams up with both Plastic Man and Batman. Fawcett City also feels the effects of Final Night, but perhaps not as much as the rest of the Earth, thanks to a protective aura cast by SHAZAM.
A young woman named Cecebeck or just plain "Beck" in a human colony on an alien world is the next focus. In a shocking turn of events, Earth is long gone, remaining only as a legend to the sentients (human or otherwise) that live in the post-Earth era. In this story, it seems that Billy has survived beyond the Earth and has assumed the mantle of SHAZAM (complete with flowing beard) and resides at the Rock of Eternity. Beck finds herself at the Rock of Eternity when she is the subject of a terrorist weapon which fires "magick dust" with trans-dimensional properties. Billy (now known as the "wizard") bequeaths power to Beck and she ends up confronting one of the terrorists, who is in turn imbued with power from the Three Faces of Evil.
Mary has a run in with a Leesburg police officer who may or may not have attempted to molest her. Mary is all for using SHAZAM's power to mete out her own form of justice, but Supergirl persuades her to let the law take it's course. Freddy meets up with Superboy and together they pass through an alien testing ground (for want of a better term), which forces them to confront their greatest fears. In the end, Superboy's confidence in his relationship with Superman sees him through safely, whereas Freddy's doubts about his relationship with Captain Marvel are proven to be a problem for him.
The demonic Neron attempts to barter power in exchange for the souls of some of the universe's most powerful characters. His proclaimed aim is to acquire the "noblest soul of all". At the time, the heroes of the universe assume that he's referring to Superman, but it is later revealed that Neron has his sights set on Captain Marvel. Eventually, Captain Marvel agrees to sell his soul to Neron, in exchange for the well being of the rest of mankind. Neron attempts to take the soul but is overwhelmed by it because all the souls he takes must have some element of corruption, some aspect of self-interest or greed motivating the exchange. Captain Marvel's soul, however, was pure and therefore useless to Neron.
Captain Marvel finds himself on the side of the villains. Lex Luthor corrupted and brainwashed our hero using technology stolen from Sivana and a host of mind-numbing worms that bear more than a passing resemblance to Mister Mind. The situation comes to a climax with a head-to-head battle between Captain Marvel and Superman. Both combatants are comparable in strength, but Captain Marvel batters Superman almost to defeat by calling down SHAZAM's lightning upon him. (Superman is vulnerable to magic and SHAZAM's lightning is most certainly magical). At the very end, however, with a nuclear bomb falling on most of the world's metahuman population (good and bad), Superman asks Billy to make a choice: to choose between letting the bomb fall to destroy "the metahuman threat" or to let Superman stop the bomb and save them all. Instead, Billy transforms into Captain Marvel one last time and uses his lightning to detonate the bomb in the upper atmosphere. The bomb still kills many (including Captain Marvel himself), but not as many as if it had exploded at ground level. Captain Marvel's sacrifice teaches Superman that, like Billy, the fates of mankind and the metahumans are not separate choices - they are inextricably linked. Captain Marvel has been resurrected by the gods who empower him. They agreed that all of his good work and service to mankind deserved a second chance, so with their combined might and abilities, they brought him back from the dead. Everyone’s minds have been erased about his death, but not about the accident. They simply believe that he stopped the bomb, and decided to go into seclusion because he was morning for their deaths. Now he is back in action and on the active roster for the League. The only ones who know of his death are those he feels close enough to tell.
Characteristics
Age: Billy - 18
Height: Billy - 5'8
Weight: Billy - 185
Eyes: Blue, Occasionally Red upon transformation
Hair: Black
Unusual Features: He transforms from a teenage to a grown man.
Personality: Billy: Billy is a youth, plain and simple. He likes video games, chilling with his friends, and just having a good time. Being young, he is often times easily persuaded by something he wants, and he still doesn't always know right from wrong.
Captain Marvel: Thanks to the wisdom and intelligence bestowed upon him by his powers, Marvel is a very level headed and analytical person. He will always think a situation through, think a few steps ahead of his opponent, and try to talk himself out of a situation before fighting.
Powers
Known Powers: When Billy Batson says the magic word "Shazam" and is transformed into Captain Marvel,, he is granted the abilities of six figures and deities whose names form the acronym SHAZAM.
Known Abilities:
Thanks to the Wisdom of Solomon, he has the ability to understand, comprehend, and speak any language on earth, maybe even other planets. He also is considered a genius among geniuses. Another facet of his intelligence is ability to talk his way out of situations, as a man with an unprecedented amount of wisdom, he prefers to talk, rather than fight.
As Billy Batson, he has a winning personality, spirit, and a very likeable demeanor; all of these are needed to be a radio personality, something rare in someone so young.
Strength Level: Enough to fight people such as Superman, Black Adam, Wonder Woman, and other heavy hitters to a standstill, and occasionally win.
Weaknesses: Without saying Shazam, Billy Batson is a normal human being, vulnerable to everything that a regular human is vulnerable to. If you take away his ability to speak, you take away his ability to say SHAZAM, cutting him off from his source of his power. While a very intelligent and wise person as Captain Marvel, Billy Batson is still a youth, as such, he can be impulsive, vengeful, and other things that accompany the younger years of humans.
Misc (optional)
Equipment: No known equipment.
Transportation: Billy Batson: 1959 Ford Galaxy 500, Huffy Bicycle
Captain Marvel: The Captain can fly under his own propulsion.

Powers
Known Powers: When Billy Batson says the magic word "Shazam" and is transformed into Captain Marvel,, he is granted the abilities of six figures and deities whose names form the acronym SHAZAM.
- S For the wisdom of Solomon As Captain Marvel, Billy has instant access to a vast amount of scholarly knowledge. The Wisdom of Solomon also gives Marvel clairvoyance and provides him with counsel and advice in times of need. He also has knowledge of all languages and sciences, ancient and modern, and can occasionally hypnotize people as well, through this power.
- H For the strength of Hercules* Dubbed "The World's Mightiest Mortal," Captain Marvel has incredible amounts of super strength, and is able to easily bend steel, punch through walls, and lift massive objects. Marvel's strength is enough that he has fought beings such as Superman and Wonder Woman to a standstill.
- A For the stamina of Atlas Using Atlas' endurance, Captain Marvel 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 when in Captain Marvel form.
- Z For the power of Zeus Zeus' power, besides fueling the magic thunderbolt that transforms Captain Marvel, also enhances Marvel's other physical and mental abilities, grants magic resistance against all magic spells and attacks, as well as allowing for interdimensional travel. Marvel can use the lightning bolt as a weapon by dodging it and allowing it to strike an opponent or target. The strike is powerful enough to incapacitate Superman with a few hits. The magical lightning has many uses, including creating apparatus, restoring damage done to Marvel, or acting as fuel for magical spells.
- A For the courage of Achilles Like the wisdom, this aspect is primarily psychological, and gives Marvel superhuman amounts of inner strength on which to draw. This power also includes the one Achilles is famous for: His near absolute invulnerability.
- M For the speed of Mercury By channeling Mercury's speed, Captain Marvel can fly and move at supersonic speeds, and, in space, at faster than light speeds. Marvel has also gained the ability to wield magic and cast spells. These additional abilities are also attributes from the god Mercury.
