Summary[]
Billy Batson, an orphan boy with a pure heart, was granted immense powers by the wizard Shazam, and became “Captain Marvel,” crusader for Justice, fighting alongside Mary Marvel, Freddy Freeman, Tawny, et cetera.
NOTE: This series seems to reference “Shazam!: The Monster Society of Evil” as happening prior to this book - this would lead you to believe that this CM is simply Post-Crisis CM, but a simple read-through would make it clear that the events of this book are not part of Post-Crisis continuity. All we can realistically take from those references is that in this series’ continuity, events that are superficially similar to “Monster Society of Evil” took place in the past.

Powers and Abilities:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics (See Attack Potency, Speed, Lifting Strength, and Durability)
- Genius Intelligence (See Intelligence)
- Self-Sustenance (Type 1: Talked to Mary Marvel in space)
- Magic (Is a being of Magic, and is fueled and empowered by it)
- Empowerment (Draws his powers from Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury)
- Blessed (His speed and power come from Mercury and Zeus respectively, and Atlas (who provides him with Stamina) is arguably just an earlier iteration of god than Zeus and Mercury)
- Underground Mobility (Used his speed to bore through a mountain)
- Indomitable Will (Wields the courage of Achilles)
- Dimensional BFR/Spacetime Rift Creation (Struck Mr. Mind's monsters with enough force to rip a hole in time and space and send them hurtling through said rift into another ”realm”)
- Phasing (Used his speed and careful calculations of the formation of the electrons and atoms in a building in order to phase through it)
- Social Influencing (Deception: Tricked Selfishness into turning on Black Adam in just a few sentences)
- Wind Manipulation via Thunderclaps (Used a thunderclap to instantly extinguish a fire that it would have taken the local fire department hours to put out) and Super-Breath (Blew a huge volume of Pollen onto King Kull)
- Shockwave Creation (His thunderclaps create shockwaves as well as gusts - in one instance, his thunderclap created a shockwave so potent that it reduced several nearby robots to scrap metal. Has the same powers as Black Adam, who caused a shockwave by intentionally slamming himself into the ground)
- Power Bestowal (Imbued both his sister Mary and his friend Freddy with a portion of his fantastic powers, such as flight, super-speed, et cetera)
- Vacuum Effect (Spun to create a vacuum that sucked demons toward him)
- Longevity (Has the same powers as Black Adam, whose magic kept him young even when he was so old that his more proper physical form was a dried husk)
- Limited Power Nullification (Anyone else who has been granted powers by the Wizard cannot harm him with their powers, because they cancel each other out)
- Limited Healing (When Freddy Freeman becomes Captain Marvel Jr due to Billy granting him a portion of his powers, he regains the use of his legs)
- Resistance to Extreme Heat (No-sold the explosion of an atomic power source. Withstood blasts of flame from Mr. Atom. Was completely unaffected by the fiery explosions caused by him slamming into alien spaceships. Didn't believe the Arson Fiend's flamethrowers would hurt him. Saved a family from a burning building without a hint of discomfort)
- Resistance to Radiation (Suffered no ill effects from being caught in the explosion of an atomic power source, and also suffers no ill effects from spaceflight)
- Resistance to Possession (Through sheer will, forced Mr. Mind's psyche into temporary submission while the former tried to take over the body of Captain Marvel)
- Limited Resistance to Pain Manipulation (Kept fighting after being struck with a microwave beam specifically calibrated to cause intense pain in living organisms, albeit he had a page or so of recovery time before he re-entered the battle)
After realizing the full extent of his power, he wields all his prior abilities as well as:
- Electricity Manipulation (Can wrap his fists in Zeus' thunderbolts to increase the might of his punches)
- Wind Manipulation via sheer speed (His super-fast flight toward Black Adam caused a huge gust that sent Dr. Sivana, the Mad Mummy, and Axe flying into the air)
- Resistance to Power Absorption (Around the time that Billy realized the full extent of his powers, Shazam cast a spell on him that made it impossible for anyone to take his powers from him)
After receiving all of Shazam's powers, he wields all his prior abilities as well as:
- Memory Manipulation/Mind Manipulation/Madness Manipulation (Shazam could wipe Black Adam's mind, making him incapable of remembering essentially anything and rendering him mentally unstable - even after Adam regained his wits, the spell still made him incapable of remembering the word “Shazam”)
- Exorcism (Shazam was capable of removing Mr. Mind's consciousness from Billy's psyche, at which point it took physical form as a copy of Captain Marvel)
- Dimensional BFR (Shazam was capable of banishing Black Adam to an "otherworldly prison", which is strongly implied to be in another dimension considering Shazam references Adam as having "escaped back to our world" when discussing how Captain Marvel’s battle with Mr. Mind affected the fabric of reality)
- Longevity (Shazam's ability to live so long (still being alive in the present day despite having lived to see Ancient Egypt) is very strongly implied to be a result of his magic power)
- Creation (Shazam was capable of creating a "physical parameter" to house Mr. Mind after removing him from Billy's psyche)
- Power Absorption (Shazam stole Black Adam’s powers and sealed them within a scarab, and later absorbed them into himself)
- Possession (Shazam was capable of stowing his soul away within Black Adam’s mind until Adam finally returned to the Rock of Eternity, where he saw a chance to emerge)
- Summoning (Black Adam, when temporarily endowed with the powers of the Wizard, could summon Captain Marvel’s entire rogues gallery to Fawcett City)
- Extrasensory Perception (Shazam could sense the presence of Black Adam and Freddy Freeman from a dimension away)
Attack Potency: At least Large Mountain Level (1.19 Gigatons - Consistently scales to characters who can harm him, as he could fight King Kull (sending him flying with a punch and twice ragdolling him with tackles) who could harm him and rip apart the hand of Mr. Atom Mark II, who should be at least equal to his predecessor, the first Mr. Atom - a robot so powerful that his punch made Cap see stars. Mr Mind's exact copy of his body could harm him, tackle him hard enough to make a massive crater, and push a building too quickly for Captain Marvel to get out of the way. Considers himself capable of moving a mountain out of the way quickly enough to avoid a speeding train. Tore apart the hand of Mr. Atom Mark II (and via taking hits from him, should scale to him) - the previous model of Mr. Atom could damage buildings with its punches and punch Captain Marvel so hard it created a huge crater and seems to have ruptured a water main. The aforementioned exact duplicate of him could punch him through a building, slam him into a dock with enough force to destroy it, and toss a battleship. Destroyed several alien spaceships by merely flying through them. Ripped apart a section of Sivana's ship with a punch. Is the physical equal of Black Adam, who can create this explosion just by jumping, throw him through a stone wall, slam him through a large stone arch, destroy the support beams of a museum, and destroy sections of pyramids in his battle with Captain Marvel. Freddy Freeman, someone who only wields a portion of Black Adam’s might, caused this explosion when attacking Captain Marvel. Tackled Black Adam through a stone wall and into a stone pillar, smashing it. Smacked a wrecking ball around), possibly Universe Level+ (At some point in the past, struck Mr. Mind's monsters so hard that his blow "ripped a big, giant hole in time and space", “ripped open time and space”, and "tore a hole in the fabric of our realm and reality." Thought of by Black Adam as wielding unlimited power and could combat the Seven Deadly Sins, which when absorbed give their wielder “unlimited power”) | At least Large Mountain Level, more than likely Universe Level+ (Has the confidence to use his powers more effectively, thus making him much more powerful. Tore apart Mr. Atom Mark III, who should outscale his predecessors. Sent King Kull flying with a kick. Punched the Vampire Burgular through a building), higher with Electrified Punches (Was able to send an amped Black Adam flying with an electrified strike - in contrast, his non-electrified punches only made this amped Adam take a step back, at most) | At least Large Mountain Level, more than likely Universe Level+ (Wields all the magic power of the Wizard at this point, and knocked the aforementioned amped Black Adam out in a single punch)
Speed: At least Sub-Relativistic+ flight and combat speed normally (0.02c - Has combat speed exceeding his flight speed, as he is equal in combat speed to characters such as a copy of Captain Marvel and Black Adam, who can intercept Mary Marvel mid-flight with their attacks: Mary Marvel being demonstrated to be faster in flight than Billy - as well as a casual lightning timer. Circled the planet almost instantly via flight while fighting Black Adam. Flew to Egypt almost instantly, both when fighting Black Adam and when fighting the Mad Mummy. Caused a sonic boom while tackling King Kull. Dodged a sound wave fired from the Horn of Horrors. As fast as Black Adam, who blitzed a police officer), likely Immeasurable (He and Mary Marvel frequently fly between Earth and the Rock of Eternity, which is described as an interdimensional trip, and it's called "just like" time-traveling a few seconds into the future via sheer speed) | Immeasurable (Toward the end of the story, when Billy gains the confidence to use his powers to their maximum effectiveness, he uses the speed of Mercury to its fullest extent and gains the speed to time-travel a few seconds into the future) | Immeasurable (Should be at least as fast as his previous state, and seemingly blitzed an amped Black Adam)
Lifting Strength: Class T (Considers himself theoretically capable of lifting and moving a mountain, which weigh at least this much. Casually lifted a pyramid and flew while carrying it. His exact duplicate helped push over a building, tossed a battleship at him and swung a huge metal fixture as a weapon. Held back a runaway train. Is physically evenly matched with Black Adam, who can easily lift and throw cars, casually crumple metal structures, rip a stone wall apart as if it were tissue paper, swing a large stone statue as a weapon, and lift a large wooden boat. A portion of Black Adam’s powers could also empower Freddy Freeman to the point that he could “lift cars without a second thought” and “throw them the length of an entire desert” casually. Held up two of the support cables of a large bridge. Pushed a massive pile of metal off of him. Ripped Mr. Atom Mark II's hand in two. Tore a metal door in an alien spaceship off its hinges with ease, crumpling it in the process. Can casually burst out of chains. Swung a basketball hoop like a bat. Held back super-pressurized water. Alongside Mary Marvel, tore Sivana's ship in two. Crushed a gun in his hand) | At least Class T (At least as strong as his prior form, considering he’s now using his powers to their fullest capacity. Swung Mr. Atom Mark III’s leg like a bat and tore his head off. Splintered a guitar in his grip) | At least Class T (Should be just as strong as his prior forms if not stronger, though admittedly the extent to which Shazam’s powers amplify his physicals is vague)
Striking Strength: At least Large Mountain Class, possibly Universe Class+ | At least Large Mountain Class, more than likely Universe Class+, higher with Electrified Punches | At least Large Mountain Class, more than likely Universe Class+
Durability: At least Large Mountain Level in all three keys (1.19 Gigatons - Shouldn’t be any less durable in his more powerful iterations. Kept fighting after taking several blows from Mr. Mind's copy of him, which could exert this much energy. Withstood Mr. Atom's "atomic power source" exploding without a scratch. Withstood being punched through a wall, slammed into a newsvan with enough force to crumple it, slammed through several wooden support boards, and having a cinderblock smashed apart against his skull, all by King Kull. Took several attacks from Mr. Atom Mark II, who could destroy a large building just by standing up and send Captain Marvel smashing through a wall. Kept fighting after being punched through a building and smashed across a dock with enough force to smash it apart by his evil clone. Stayed in the fight against Black Adam despite Adam slamming him into parts of pyramids with enough force to destroy them. Was only slightly disoriented after part of a building fell on him. Withstood Freddy Freeman punching him through a wall. Being slammed into a metal wall with enough force to warp it didn't even give him slight pause), possibly Universe Level+ (Scaling to his AP as per Newton’s Third Law)
Stamina: Superhuman in all three keys (Wields the stamina of Atlas. Battled the Vampire Burgular for “hours”)
Range: Standard Melee Range physically, and Several Meters with Super Breath (Shown to stretch a few meters whilst he fought King Kull)
Standard Equipment: None Notable
Intelligence: At least Genius, more than likely Extraordinary Genius (Possesses the wisdom of Solomon, which he has used on innumerable occasions: in example, he has exactly calculated the timing of atoms and electrons in a building in order to use his speed to phase through it, tricked Mr. Mind into trapping himself by attempting to phase into a reflective surface, developed a plan to use the Rock of Eternity shuttle to escape Black Adam, tricked King Kull into becoming susceptible to his own transmutation gun, and has tricked Selfishness into turning on Black Adam in just a few sentences), with his second and third keys boasting higher intelligence (Now that he has the confidence to use his powers more effectively, it stands to reason he can use more of the wisdom of Solomon than before. Figured out how to combine the powers of Mercury and Zeus to hit Black Adam with a high-speed electrified punch. Bided his time in order to get the opportunity to use the Arson Fiend’s powers against King Kull, taking out both villains in a fiery explosion)
Standard Tactics: If his foe is clearly weaker than himself, he’ll attempt to incapacitate as nonviolently as possible. But if given reason to believe his foe is super-strong, he’ll fly at them and attack with near-full strength to take them out as quickly as possible.
Weaknesses: Cannot transform unless he says “Shazam.” For most of the series (prior to his second and third keys), lacked the confidence to use his powers to their fullest extent.
