I still remember the street corner where I sat on the curb and read the comic with Captain Marvel Jr in it. I don't recall how I got my hands on it, but I do remember the one panel where he says "Captain Marvel" to change. Being a child and seeing a kid superhero was cool. I also liked his blue suit better. While I do like Shazam, Shazam Jr is my guy.

The one-season cartoon is actually not that bad for the time. Very watchable compared to other stuff. Actually quite campy and the writers were winking at the audience, so to speak.
50ftFrankenstein It shouldn't count if they were essentially different people. Batmans dad was Batman while his mom was Joker, Superman never became a beacon of hope and Billy wasn't even called Captain Marvel/Shazam there because it had its own timeline so of course it doesn't count since the point they were making was alternate earth = different people & events.
For real! I can barely find any videos on the Mary Marvel character! Even after the SHAZAM! movie, there has only been stuff about Black Adam, Captain Marvel and Freddie (also Shazam of course). You would think there would be more content and videos about the other main member of the Marvel Family or atleast an origin to cover?
Good Lord this is silly! I'm sorry but the New 52 version of Freddy Freeman is so much more appealing than the others. As a matter of fact, I think the whole Shazam/Captain Marvel Family is more appealing in the New 52 despite Billy Batson being a jackass.
Indeed Billy may be a bit of a jerk but man has he gotten a huge power boost instead of just flying to get to places he can now instantly teleport and he is now able to share his powers with others without draining his own how freaking awesome is that
Billy and Freddy both discussed this in the 1940's and recently in the ongoing Waid run...they don't want or need six other voices ringing in heads all the time...otherwise they'll become Black Adam all over again...and one Black Adam is more than enough.
Uzumaki Naruto I think that only goes as far as the title of the comics themselves. They still have the rights to call the character captain marvel, that's what they've been doing for an alternate version of the character in the new 52 comics.
Then Final Crisis happened, Mary and Billy Batsons lost their powers after the former went evil and latter got corrupted and Freddy Marvel became the only Captain Marvel. Then in New 52, Billy Batson and Mary Bromfield were not siblings and former is a jerk. On the plus side, Tawny defeated Kalibak and New52 get to have Cyborg and Shazam (Captain Marvel's trademark friendly name) as buddies.
The Oncoming Storm he used to belong to another company and in fact captain marvel was the first super hero that flies and well over all was super . but DC had basically had better lawyers and managed to buy him from the original company.
Mary and freedy have been featured in the new 52 they both had temporary got the superpowers thanks to shazam but it was only for a short time they did not really bother to come up with names that and also as it stands shazam still does not have his own solo series
50ftFrankenstein what the hell were they supposed to do dude Marvel pretty much won the lawsuit. Its not like they bitched out, they tried to keep the name for years but Marvel finally got over on them. They were not able to properly promote the character due to the existence of Marvel's own Captain Marvel. I wish ppl would stop trying to blame DC all the time and actually look up the facts.
Ty D Just don't call the name of the comic captian marvel...Works with batman and superman (detection comics and action comics). In the new movie coming out in 2019 call him captain marvel so people will know about him and they don't need to market him as much
Arthus850 There was no lawsuit or dispute with MArvel Comics. DC acquired the Marvel Family after MArvel Comics had started calling themselves Marvel Comic and created their own Captain Marvel, so DC decided to title the comics "Shazam" while still calling the characters by their original names in the comics. In the early 200's however, DC decded it was tired of having the characters not have their names on the cover, so when they gave Freddy the foll powers and job of Captain MArvel (in the "Trials of Shazam" 12-issue series) they made his hero name be "Shazam," and in the New 52, Billy Batson's super-hero alter ego is named "Shazam. They haven't actually given oficial names to the rest of the superhero alter ego's of the Shazam kids, but we can presume they are all "Shazams."
its not that they cant say their name shazam is the wizard who gave capt marvel his powers and capt marvel game capt marvel jr his powers so capt marvel has to say shazam the person who gave him his powers and capt marvel jr says the name of the person who gave him his powers and yes now his name is shazam because of marvel but also cause NO ONE CAN FRIGGIN READ AND SEE HIS NAME OS FRIGGIN CAPT MARVEL AND NOT GOD DAMN SHAZAM....sorry have always been a big fan and always pissed me off that no one knew hes name was capt friggin marvel other then that good video liked it alot

One more time: Captain Marvel is the name of the character not Shazam. Shazam is the magic word used to turn into Captain Marvel. It's the silly parody of Captain Marvel called Shazam that's laughable. If asked what his name was and Captain Marvel said "Shazam", he would have instantly changed back to Batson or whoever Marvel Jr's alter ego was. Shazam was the name of the elder that created Captain Marvel.

The Captain Marvel in DC has been renamed to Shazam. The one in Marvel is now known as Captain Marvel. This is due to legal issues.

Captain MARVEL in the DC franchise?
This is not news.
I just don't get why DC named a character after their rivals.
The Oncoming Storm he used to belong to another company and in fact captain marvel was the first super hero that flies and well over all was super . but DC had basically had better lawyers and managed to buy him from the original company.
DrMayor after a long time in which copyright had laxed so marvel created Mar-Vell
The Oncoming Storm Captain Marvel was not with DC comics back in the 40's. He started in Fawcet comics. DC bought the company later on.
What do they call him now after the dispute with Marvel Comics? Shazam Jr.? And what do they call Mary Marvel? Or do they feature them at all?
Mary and freedy have been featured in the new 52 they both had temporary got the superpowers thanks to shazam but it was only for a short time they did not really bother to come up with names that and also as it stands shazam still does not have his own solo series
He's officially called Shazam now. I wish DC hadn't caved on his name considering their Captain Marvel precedes Marvel Comics itself.
