Cap Marvel Jr was Elvis favorite superhero, they still have his old comics at the Elvis birth place museum in Mississippi, and his stage suits were influenced by Caps costume
The new 52 was actually pretty good imo. It was more of a reimagining of the characters plus a few more in a modern take where as the kids aren't these perfect like innocent kids with 100% pure hearts. It shows there flaws and gives more dynamic to Billy.
I don't mind it at all, but why did my favorite Shazam family member suddenly became *blond* and had luscious locks instead of his trademark shaggy hair, it's too different for me and was obviously made to differentiate the expanded roster of black haired kids, but why didn't Geoff Johns or Gary Frank just made one of the new kids blonde instead of changing an established one, it's like he liked the new kids more but then left the story and didn't write a follow up until *years* later.
That Shazam Origins arc is the best thing to come out of the New 52. IF you haven't read it, you should. It isn't a NYTimes bestseller for nothing. I loved every page of it
I like Freddie though I don't really like how DC treats him or really any of the Marvel family. The reboot didn't really get the character and I know the reboot is meant to make these characters fresh though I feel by making them fresh many writers are forgetting who these characters are. Though even before the reboot I thought they handled the characters poorly. Mainly in 2000's. I love what DC did with the in the 70's and I really do think the 90's version did the Marvel family justice. It got the characters and it made the Marvels something new while still respecting the history everyone at Fawcett did for these guys. I'm not a huge fan of Freddie becoming Captain Marvel mainly because there was so much to be told still with Billy as the Captain, Mary as a Marvel, and Freddie as Junior. Really I think the only character DC does constantly do justice with when it comes to the Marvels is Black Adam though mainly because they did more with the character than Fawcett ever did (Fun Fact: Black Adam only appeared in one issue of a Fawcett comic. Dr. Sivana, Mr. Mind, and Captain Nazi among others were more common foes of the Marvels).
The art in Master Comics and Captain Marvel, Jr. is some of the best of the Golden Age: guy by the name of Mac Raboy drew it. Even after he left, to become the Flash Gordon newspaper strip artist, they still used it as paste ups on covers.
The New 52 Shazam! book is actually pretty good / funny! I've never read a Captain Marvel comic other than that, so I don't know how it compares. It's not a amazing comic, but i would say it was worth my time and money. Sorry for my bad english =P
Nice work covering the publishing history and telling the story of the modern Freddy Freeman/CMJ. Your fondness for the character really comes through. Nice job explaining the publishing history (although DC only leased the Fawcett characters in 1972, did not actually buy them outright until 1991). The original character, of course, had a much less involved origin, no brother, and never met Billy before he became the hero, but I see you are all about the modern version, and that's cool too ;)
Hurray! Freddy ! :D You did the right thing by skipping that story Faust, it's the only Geoff Johns material I hate. It's written well, but it misses the point of the Marvel Family. I also can't wait to see that cosplay.
hi Faust big fan, I really love your history videos, and I'm really like when you make b list and c list characters history videos please keep on doing those and i will be donating to your show soon
That was added in the very early 1980's in the "Shazam" feature in "World's Fines. DC had acquired Kid Eternity along with Quality Comics in 1956. It was revealed that they were long-lost brothers (RET-CON!)
Hey this is a great history of Freddie Freeman, I didn't know he had a brother who was in a foster home, that is cool, sorry that he isn't around anymore, but I do love this show. Keep up the good work!!!!
you should do the history of the fx Heros and their side kicks (green arrow and speedy, flash and kid flash, Aquaman and Aqua lad, ect.) preferably green arrow and speedy and history of speedy
Katrina Helena That is wonderful another book I might recommend that I found very nice might be the Re launch of the Teen Titans (the one not written by scott lodbell) and Earth 2 / Earth 2 worlds end if your into a new retelling of golden age heroes and if your looking for the dark gritty stuff The various Batman books and Red hood and the outlaws Along with the Suicide squad books both the starter one and the recent re launch might suffice or if your looking for some good old Badass female titles wonder woman and Supergirl might be good for you if you wish to hear more interesting books to read feel free to ask
I hate how every body hates the new 52 it's good! Get over your selves just read it. I understand why maybe u like main continuity but still I read yesterday and it's really good even if it's not *perfect* Jesus!

StarStreamTuT i really like the changes
Dr Sivana was really menacing
StarStreamTuT a lot of people don’t like it, because they are afraid of change.

Freddy doesn't say Shazam, Freddy says "Captain Marvel"
+Chrisfs As he should.
Thanks for a history of my favorite character in the Captain Marvel family

"He's blonde now, weirdly..." ironic. You look fantastic, though!
I knew Morgan Freeman was a OP as balls. I mean just look at his son!

Actually atlas was not in charge of holding the burdens of the world but he was just holding the sky in mythology

I searched up: "shazam's crippled brother" to find him.
💀
I liked Trials of Shazam, it was a good series.
Hurray! Freddy ! :D

Freddy Freeman aka CAPTAIN MARVEL JR Birthday May 7 Birth Card is Queen 👑 of Diamonds Blessings and Hugs 💖🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏!
kid eternity is now his brother according to DC comics cannon.
Love your hair, Faust! Have you ever thought about making a history of Animal Man? He's history is certainly intersting and confusing.
I would like to see a history about me and Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman
can you do a history of swamp thing
I guess the wizard shazam didn't think Freddy was super effective. I must ask, how did they stitch his lips without him saying shazam once?
hi Faust big fan, I really love your history videos, and I'm really like when you make b list and c list characters history videos please keep on doing those and i will be donating to your show soon
Please do a history on Roy Harper as Speedy like you did for Dick Grayson as Robin.
I thought Freddie Freemen walked with a limp/crutch. How did Captain Marvel Jr. and Kid Eternity become cousins.
That was added in the very early 1980's in the "Shazam" feature in "World's Fines. DC had acquired Kid Eternity along with Quality Comics in 1956. It was revealed that they were long-lost brothers (RET-CON!)
CM3=Captain marvel the third?
In "Power of Shazam," yes.
My guess is the "Three" stems from counting Mary Marvel as the second.
So if Captain marvel is now known as Shazam
What is mary marvel and captain marvel jr name now
Hey this is a great history of Freddie Freeman, I didn't know he had a brother who was in a foster home, that is cool, sorry that he isn't around anymore, but I do love this show. Keep up the good work!!!!
I feel like New 52 doesn't really understand the meaning behind characters.
Love the history. X I agree that he is very, underrated in the comics.
THAT!!!!! SHIRT!!!! IS BAD ASS
I love that you love the marvel family and the you know so much about them.
For your next video you should do the history of the light saber, in honor of the new Star Wars trailer!
Your hair looks amazing you should keep it that way
The wizard Shazam turned against them and took away their powers?! Did they ever reconcile? Did they ever get their powers back?
you should do the history of the fx Heros and their side kicks (green arrow and speedy, flash and kid flash, Aquaman and Aqua lad, ect.) preferably green arrow and speedy and history of speedy
I'm wondering if the new-52 based series they're finally getting will show him going back to black hair in-series, like, not bleaching it anymore.
can you do a video that explains the silver and golden ages of comics
What is the number one comic you recommend for people who just started reading comics??
For DC New 52 Justice league origin story for Marvel it might depend on which team is your favorite
Awesome thanks i got the Justice league recently and i have been reading it non-stop
Katrina Helena That is wonderful another book I might recommend that I found very nice might be the Re launch of the Teen Titans (the one not written by scott lodbell) and Earth 2 / Earth 2 worlds end if your into a new retelling of golden age heroes and if your looking for the dark gritty stuff The various Batman books and Red hood and the outlaws Along with the Suicide squad books both the starter one and the recent re launch might suffice or if your looking for some good old Badass female titles wonder woman and Supergirl might be good for you if you wish to hear more interesting books to read feel free to ask
Hawkman Thank you!!! I am going to be reading like a lot of these...ok all of them
Katrina Helena That is good to hear you may also want to check out the New lobo book if your into new takes on old 90s characters
What do you think of the character Amadeus Cho in the marvel universe? Do you think you will ever do a history video of him?

My fave version of shazam is Kingdom Come.
