Another of the foster siblings, Pedro is a fiercely loyal young man who transforms into a green clad superhero when he says Shazam. Pedro is imbued with much more physical strength than his Shazam siblings. The youngest member of the Shazam family, Darla transforms into a purple costumed hero. Darla is the fastest of the Marvels and has some of the same precocious tendencies as the almost forgotten Freckles Marvel.

With her siblings Eugene and Pedro, Darla has brought the Shazam family into a new age. Mary and Junior weren't the first heroes to share the power of Shazam with Billy Batson. A year before the creation of Junior, three other Marvels said that one magic word. And between you and me, they were wonderfully silly.

In the first appearance of the three Lieutenants, Billy Batson meets three other young men who share the name Billy Batson. One of them is from Brooklyn and calls himself Fat Billy, the second is from the South and calls himself Hill Billy, and the third is from the West and calls himself Tall Billy.

I think ol' Fat Billy kinda got the short end of that Marvel stick. Golden Age logic, kids, Golden Age logic. Billy and the Lieutenants teamed up periodically throughout the 40s but Fat, Hill, and Tall all take a back seat once Junior and Mary make the scene.

Mary Marvel (Mary Batson) (Pre-Crisis) Chronology

Uncle Marvel was a con man and fraud named Dudley H. Dudley who pretended to be the long lost uncle of Mary Batson. When he discovers the Shazam secrets, the old scalawag pretends he too has Shazam powers and becomes Uncle Marvel. The other Marvels think Dudley a lovable old coot and allow the pretense. As silly as it all sounds, Uncle Marvel became a full-fledged albeit unpowered member of the Marvel Family and even defeated Black Adam!

It was Dudley that got Black Adam to say Shazam in his first appearance, a trick that caused the ancient Black Adam to transform into dust. Not bad for an old swindler. So yeah, this was a thing. In , funny animals were incredibly popular, so when Fawcett entered the genre with the title Fawcett's Funny Animals , it made sense to mash up the Shazam concept with a wascally wabbit. Granted the power of Shazam by the Wizard Bunny, Hoppy's adventures follow the same formula as the other Shazam Family titles, with the character needing to say the word "Shazam" to transform.

Of course, Hoppy's magic word is a different acronym than the Captain's, the letters standing for Salamander, Hogules, Antlers, Zebreus, Abalone, and Monkury. The character returned many times over the decades since his heyday, appearing in a number of DC Universe stories.

His first modern appearance was in DC Comics Presents 34 where he meets the Shazam Family for the "first" time and helps Superman defeat the classic Shazam villains Mr.

Mind and Killer Kull. You know it does. Like Uncle Dudley, Freckles was generally played for comic relief, but the precocious Freckles could knock someone out with her mean right cross. Captain Thunder was actually Willy Fawcett see what they did there? After battling a group consisting of a Frankenstein's monster, a mummy, a wolf man, and Dracula because awesome , Willy was inflicted with a mystical amnesia.

This all leads to a clash with Superman who helps the doppelganger hero regain his memory. But hey, Thunder totally counts even though he was only created so Superman could prove he is stronger than the recently purchased Shazam. A Shazam wielder as part of the Legion of Super-Heroes is just the most marvelous piece of genius, like, ever. When referring to the Marvel Family on comic book covers or various merchandise, they are by this legal necessity called the "Shazam Family". With Junior and Mary's additions to his adventures, Captain Marvel became the first superhero to have a team of sidekicks who share his powers, abilities, and appearance; a concept later adapted for heroes such as Superman and Aquaman , among others.

By the late s, Marvel Family comics were among the most popular in the industry, and the Marvel Family had expanded to include both non-superpowered characters Uncle Marvel and Freckles Marvel and even funny animals Hoppy the Marvel Bunny. By , all of these books had ceased publication, due to Superman publisher DC Comics ' lawsuit against Fawcett.

In , DC licensed the rights to the Marvel Family characters, and began publishing them in a comic series titled Shazam! Fawcett sold DC the rights to the characters in , by which time Shazam! DC retconned Captain Marvel in with their Legends miniseries, establishing him as a solo hero without a team.

Following several attempts at relaunching the Shazam! Captain Marvel Jr. The Shazam Family was reintroduced during DC Comics' continuity-altering Flashpoint miniseries in , as six kids who all spoke "Shazam! In the later company-wide " New 52 " reboot that followed Flashpoint , the Captain Marvel character was renamed "Shazam" and starred in a backup segment of the Justice League series second volume from to The "World's Mightiest Mortal", Captain Marvel is the superpowered alter-ego of Billy Batson, an orphaned boy who speaks the name of the wizard Shazam to become an adult superhero.

Billy has the powers of Solomon wisdom , Hercules strength , Atlas stamina , Zeus power , Achilles courage , and Mercury speed ; and served as the wizard Shazam's champion and herald. After the New 52 reboot of the Shazam! Becoming a hero inspired the initially brash and standoffish Billy to evolve into a noble hero and leader who embraces his new foster family. As Shazam , Billy has powers and a red-uniformed appearance similar to the traditional version of Captain Marvel with the added ability to wield magic via the "living lightning" that powers him.

In traditional Shazam! The Golden Age Mary Marvel remained a teenager in superhero form, while the modern version is transformed into an adult like her brother. She temporarily became a villain working for Darkseid and possessed by the New God Desaad. The oldest of the Shazam kids, Mary acts as the "den mother" and conscience of the group. She shares Billy's secret, and by saying "Shazam! In both the Golden Age and s versions of the Marvel Family, Billy's friend and classmate, Freddy Freeman, was attacked and left disabled by the supervillain Captain Nazi , and was given the power to become a Marvel to save his life.

This created the odd problem that he could not identify himself without changing back to his regular form. He was a member of the Teen Titans during the late s and later, the Outsiders in the early s. The — Trials of Shazam! In current DC Comics continuity from on, Freddy Freeman now a blond teenager instead of the traditional black-haired youth, though still physically disabled is Billy Batson's foster brother, a smart-mouthed pickpocket and trickster whose parents are in prison.

He shares Billy's secret and by saying "Shazam! Eugene Choi is Billy Batson's foster brother, an intelligent, bookish teenager about his age of Asian descent with a love of technology and video games. Eugene's bookishness is offset by a competitive and impulsive nature that causes trouble for him and the others at times.

Introduced in the Flashpoint miniseries, Pedro can share Billy's power by saying "Shazam! Despite her hardships growing up, Darla is very openly affectionate and loving towards her foster family and virtually anyone she mets. Introduced in the Flashpoint miniseries as a teenager the same age as the other kids , Darla can share Billy's power by saying "Shazam! She is also unable to keep secrets, which proved rather difficult to overcome. Adam eventually grew to abuse his power, and became a tyrant.

Shazam returned to punish Adam with either exile into deep space in the original Fawcett Comics or death in the modern DC Comics. He returns to Earth or life after Shazam appoints Captain Marvel his new successor, and was soon established as Captain Marvel's most powerful foe in physical abilities. In later DC continuity, Black Adam joined the Justice Society of America , claiming to have reformed, later turning on the Justice Society by using some of its younger associates to help him overthrow the government of his home country Khandaq.

Adam was one of the main characters in DC's 52 weekly maxi-series, which followed his attempts to establish himself as a hero, which led him to create a "Marvel Family" of his own, which included his superpowered wife Isis and his own "Captain Marvel Jr. In the current "New 52" continuity, Black Adam was a former Khandaqi slave in ancient times who was granted the power of Shazam along with his young nephew, whom he kills for not sharing his taste for vengeance against their enemies. Adam kills the members of Earth's Council of Wizards save for the wizard Shazam, who imprisoned him and hid magic until Adam was freed by Doctor Sivana in modern times.

The superheroine Isis was originally created for live-action television to star in Filmation 's The Secrets of Isis TV show, a sister series for Filmation's adaptation of Shazam! Isis teamed up with Captain Marvel on occasion in both television and comics, and briefly starred in a licensed DC comic book in the late s. This Isis is the alter-ego of Adrianna Tomaz, originally a slave from Egypt offered to Black Adam by the terrorist group Intergang as a token to curry his favor. Although Adam dealt harshly with the slavers and kills one of them, Adrianna becomes Adam's love interest and made him a more merciful figure, and was granted a special amulet that allowed her to become the avatar of the Egyptian goddess.

Adam married Isis, but her death at the hands of the Four Horsemen of Apokolips drove him to a fit of mass murder.
