We’re all excited to see Carol Danvers hit the big screen in Captain Marvel, but you might not know DC superhero Shazam was the first to hold the name. He also didn’t start off at DC, and he’s one of the oldest superheroes around. This week we walk through a brief history of Shazam and how he came to be.

MCU Captain Marvel is Political with Brie Larson. Shes a feminist. Dont support them
Why did he need to fight Superman?
i’m a marvel fan but i would much rather watch shazam than that sjw craptain marvel by brie larson
Shazam looks so awful.
Is it weird that I can understand him without reading the subtitles. And I’m an American. lol
Mr. Marvelous
Shazam 🔥
I Loved Girl 😏🔥😍
and the most boring, like almost all DC characters
that’s why Marvel swept everything from the 60’s
The prequel to BIG.
I’m a fan of superhero movies period, I’ve supported every MCU and DCEU movie that has come out in the past and judge each film for myself ignoring any controversial issues that may come with it. I plan on seeing both Shazam and Captain Marvel and judge them for myself.…have a good life people.💪
It’s been over seven months but we finally have a new Shazam trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uilJZZ_iVwY
Boycott Craptain Marvel & go see SHAZAM!
So he has to shout his own name to get hit by lightning… Is Captain Marvel Jr. required to shout “Shazam” now, too?! Sorry folks, there is ONLY ONE Captain Marvel and Billy is it. Marvel Comics stole the name as they do and did virtually everything…
No mention of the 70’s tv show Shazam.??
That made 800 million less…
Bill Parker and C.C. Beck will be remembered forever.
Plus this year’s “SHAZAM” live action film officially made over 360 million after 7 weeks.
Not only did Captain Marvel a.k.a. Shazam go toe to toe with superman he beat him in the 1940s that’s what led to the lawsuit because soups can beat Captain Marvel any other way
That’s why DC always shows superman beating Captain Marvel in a fight because he can do it in real life DC had to sue Fossett to beat Captain Marvel which is underhanded thing DC did
Trivia: “Captain Marvel”, the name, LEGALLY, is owned by Marvel Comics. Shazam (Billy Batson) was originally called “Captain Marvel”. Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) was originally created by Bill Parker, C.C. Beck and published by Fawcett Comics back in 1939 as a rip-off of DC Comic’s iconic character, Superman. DC, who was known as National Comics at the time, did not like the idea of Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) ripping off Superman, so National/DC sued Parker, Beck and Fawcett in court and LEGALLY bought rights to Captain Marvel the character (Billy Batson). After Parker, Beck and Fawcett went out of business, the Captain Marvel name got snatched by Marvel and Marvel were allowed to do that because Parker, Beck, Fawcett and National/DC forgot to trademark the Captain Marvel name and Marvel trademarked the Captain Marvel name and used the name for their characters (From Mar-Vell all the way to Carol Danvers) who took on the Captain Marvel name. And Marvel had a legal battle with another comic book company called M.F. Enterprises. Like Parker, Beck, Fawcett and DC, M.F. forgot to trademark the Captain Marvel name and created their own version of Captain Marvel who was an alien robot who had the ability to split himself apart and put himself back together again. After M.F. got sued by Marvel and went out of business because of Marvel, Captain Marvel now had two owners. Marvel owned the rights to the Captain Marvel name and DC owned the rights to Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) as a character. DC was unaware that Marvel trademarked the Captain Marvel name first, so DC got a cease-and-desist letter from Marvel telling DC that DC could not use the Captain Marvel name as a title on DC’s “Shazam!” comic book covers that were and are published by DC. Shazam (Billy Batson) could still be called “Captain Marvel” in most of the Shazam!-related comic books published by DC, but Shazam (Billy Batson) could not be called “Captain Marvel” as a title on the front covers of the Shazam! comic books published by DC. Longtime DC fans who were new to Billy Batson got confused and thought “Shazam” was Billy Batson’s superhero name. Later on in 2011, the Shazam! comic books went through reboots and became part of DC’s New 52 series and DC completely dropped the Captain Marvel name and officially renamed Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) the character from “Captain Marvel” to “Shazam” to avoid conflict with Marvel Comics. So, in conclusion, LEGALLY, the Captain Marvels (From Mar-Vell all the way to Carol Danvers) from Marvel Comics are known as “Captain Marvel” and DC’s Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) the character, originally owned by Parker, Beck and Fawcett, is legally known as “Shazam”. Any comic book superhero fan who has been following superhero comic books and comic book superheroes since the 1930’s and onward knows who the TRUE Captain Marvel was and is, and that was and is Billy Batson. DC should have renamed Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) the character’s name from “Captain Marvel” to “Captain Marvelous” because back when Billy Batson was with Fawcett, his creators were trying to think of a superhero name for his alter-ego. The original name was going to be “Captain Thunder”, but there was already a character named Captain Thunder. So then, Billy Batson’s alter-ego was renamed “Captain Marvelous”. But there was a problem: the name “Captain Marvelous” could not fit anywhere on the covers of the comic books, inside the comic books, word balloons, thought balloons and narrator boxes so the name was shortened to “Captain Marvel”. Renaming the character “Shazam” was a stupid idea because there is already a character named Shazam, who was the wizard who passed on his powers to Billy Batson.
