- In this video I go over Shazam (otherwise known as Captain Marvel or Billy Batson) and the various feats he performed over various iterations from Post Crisis through New 52 and into Rebirth. Including God of Gods Shazam, Rebirth King Shazam and Captain Marvel as The Wizard Shazam.

Just to clarify the Post Crisis Superman that Shazam scales to in this video is of course only the suppressed Superman we usually see and not his full power that he only learned to use later on.
WebCamParrot did you try to upload this earlier today? Cause I got a Notification but then when I clicked on it it said the video was private but now here the video is just I wanted ask just to see if it UA-cam app or something that you just hadn’t uploaded yet?
I actually had to upload this video 5 different times because of copyrighted music that I had to change. I just didn't notice one of those times and the video went up for like 5 seconds.
WebCamParrot Okok thank you I was just making sure that what I figured 😀 I’m a huge fan of your content and I can’t wait to see what you come out with next keep up the great man you are going places
Just wanted to know know your thoughts on who wins between Goku and Superman?
I think Superman once fight Shazam when he was controlled by Eclipso and he was trying to kill Shazam and I think he didn´t hold back.
Superman once had Shazam powers and he sayed they are equal.
I could be wrong so please correct me if I am.
Shazam: Sups that's a being made of magic. What do we do?
Superman: We spin like a top
Shazam: What?
Superman: We spin like a top
Literally 99% of Superman's problem solving is based on spinning.
Red Sun Radiation: Spin that shit away
Need to go back in time: Spin so fast you travel to the past.
Life draining monster from the black dimension: Actually just spin him out of existence because that works apparently.
@@WebCamParrot Plot twist: Superman becomes the presence when he's spinning but only when he is spinning 🤣🤣
@@WebCamParrot Superman is a master of the Golden Rectangle.
Theory time, Superman is literal concept of spinning top embody
@@WebCamParrot You should do April video about spinning in comics. Because Thor also did some weird shit with spinning.
If he was written correctly, he'd be practically unbeatable. I hate how they nerf him in DC comics. He has the wisdom of Solomon. He could use that power to outwit his enemies and use it to solve mysteries like a detective. His abilities could be used in such versatile ways. He doesn't have to be a Superman clone. He could be so much more. That's why Golden Age Captain Marvel is my favorite version of the character. In Fawcett comics, Cap could be as strong and as powerful without having to weaken him to make Superman look better. Dc will never let Captain Marvel come into his full potential as long as he shares the stage with Superman.
Absolutely glad I'm not the only one and I prefer Shazam over Superman and is more powerful then Superman just dc holds him back with the power of Zeus spell casting would and should be part of his arsenal
logically he should be more powerful that superman
Bro I thought it was just me 😂 Shazam has so much potential, sucks DC didn't capitalize off on it in the films
I think what Dc needs to do is @@fucktiktok631 i think DC should embrace the elseworlds set up, They can make original stories and takes of the characters while not labeling it as a cinematic universe. They can experiment on it a lot and take different themes. technically Joker and the batman didn't feel like superhero movies it just felt like the classic movies from the 70s where its focused on story rather than theatrics. I feel like DC is not playing their cards with this kinds of idea. They can make Movies with super hero characters and make it into character driven movies with different genres like noir, surrealism or even horror. I think DC should focus on making original stories instead of a cinematic universe. I would like to see a Martian manhunter with noir elements and take inspiration from the invasion of the body snatchers, the sign and even the thing into one movie. Alot of these movies would be experimental and low budget compared to the block buster and the good thing about this is that if it flops it wont be a big damage monetary wise for WB and they don't have to worry about making a sequel or a series unlike if a movie from a cinematic universe sucked it basically impacts everything. My point, DC needs to embrace original ideas and stray from comic book adaptations especially if they cant make a plan. The focus should be noir type or even pulp like. Tbh i DESPISE CINEMATIC UNIVERSES, i do like things to connect but not everything needs to nor do you need a cinematic universe for everything to connect.
Superman has ALWAYS been more powerful than Shazam , if you issue is power then GET OVER IT 😂, it's been HEAVILY implied MULTIPLE TIMES Superman holds back almost ALL THROUGHOUT Post Crisis .
As of Currently , Superman bodies litterally everybody if he wanted too.
Beating up Yuga Khan is insane. Darkseid shat his pants when Khan broke free from the Source Wall.
This guy sounds so professional so hearing him say “Chocolate Egg Cream” so professionally was great.
If he knew how to use all of his powers, he would literally be unstoppable.
It's just plot to make him inexperienced. He has the Wisodm of Solomon and he can speak with the Six Immortal Elders and Shazam
For better guidance.
unstoppable for who? coz i'm pretty sure he's not that powerful
@@Xeno88 dude already as strong as superman level characters at 10 without using his spells and his spells damaged superboy prime who bullied Mr. Myxypltlk who destroyed the multiverse
@@meek7765 that superboy prime is a joke it's the writer fault for not knowing anything about mr mxy like wtf? how in the world anyone can hurt mxy with physical attack? unless it's a really powerfull reality warper a physical attack only does nothing to mxy. and moreover shazaam was shutdown by zeus hands down. and the op said shazaam would be unstopable? really? forgot about morningstar? archangel? or you know The presence?
@Pixel Smile of couse he knows his powers Wisdom of Solomon helps with that
A sketchy looking Superman approaches a young billy batson after emerging from a dark ally.
"Hey Kid ya wanna try some spin?"
In early new 52 when Shazam was corrupted by Pandora's box it was felt by every magic user, I think throughout the multiverse too cause I think there's a panel where we see Dr Fate from earth 2 feel it, though I could be wrong.
New 52 Superman fought Rao and would've won if it wasn't for Rao's trickery , same Rao who scared off the Olympian Gods by waking and they litterally abandoned their roles too leaving all the prayer to WW .
It really doesn't matter.
@@user-lp8im7ow8s Nothing you've said contributes to this conversation at all.
@@Auron1Roxas2 it kinda does , the gods Shazam draws from are fodder to Supes.
I love post crisis Captain Marvel Billy baston and his marvel family because all three of them Billy baston Mary marvel and Freddy Freeman Captain Marvel Jr are great characters and tons of fun.
The Power of Shazam comicline was definitely my favourite Shazam thing ever.
@@WebCamParrot indeed same here heck one of my all time favorite series was Shazam the monster society of evil miniseries by Jeff smith which was a great retelling of his origin story but tons of fun and cute and gave me a great origin of both Billy baston and Mary marvel as brother and sister which was really cute and adorable and awesome :).
John doue Quebec I can understand that
Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) is a great character IMO. Marvel, like Superman, has the mentality and characteristics of a true hero. He is among the most powerful superheroes of all time. TBH, while I know a lot of people consider Superman to be the most powerful superhero, I say that Billy is just as powerful as Superman.
Not even REMOTELY close , especially Currently , he is litterally a WW victim
Legends speak of the time that this was removed.
Thank god It's not just me being crazy
A perfect way to end a Sunday night thank you!!!!
Just thought I’d mention that in that comic where he fought the alien who absorbed the powers of the League, the alien actually didn’t. In the comic story, the smaller alien, Psi-phon, was said to actually be using his knowledge of brains and powers to make the heroes of Earth forget how to use their power, thus weakening them. And as a result, they believed the big alien was stealing their powers. It revealed at the end though that it was a manipulation and just a plot from a greater invading force test how Earth could respond in a true invasion. In addition, the aliens were merely mental projections from the greater invading force and they disappeared after the revelation. However, the rest of this video was great and informative. This is just a common mistake I’ve seen from people.
Because things can’t be simple can they
@@l0sts0ul89 IN COMICS? Never
Everybody gangsta till Billy says *SHAZAM!!!*
That face
No
Just a robot showed me the glory of this channel.
Hell yeah! Shazam!
Kite Man, Hell Yeah!😏😎👍
Daredevil Lebron fuck Shazam storm will one shot him
eric johnson Nice joke
75 86 you do know that storm is damn near a god right Shazam ain’t ready 😂😂😂😂😂😂
eric johnson Doesn’t matter. Her feats don’t even come close to Shazam’s. Storm could barely even handle spider man at one point
In the end countless heroes and villains have crazy lines of scaling partly scaling massively above each other, but are still roughly comparable when trading blows.
While you can accuse shonen of similar things, I think they are generally better about this due to not having such insane and convoluted verses and countless writers.
Thank you for this! I've recently started a series comparing superheroes with animals who have real-life superheroes, and I am thinking of doing a Shazam/Captain Marvel/Billy Batson after watching this! I didn't know he could turn into any form he envisions, that is cool!
It's definitely a very underrated part of his powers. Wish he used it more often.
@@WebCamParrot Me too! Why do you think that was? Is there any specific power that's your favorite of his?
It just wasn't often that useful. He would use it for disguises or to make a spacesuit or something but that was about it. It's difficult because Billy has to change his perspective on what a superhero should be in order to turn into that thing. It might be hard for him to convince himself that certain transformations fit within what it means to be a "superhero".
I think the Wisdom of Solomon is his most interesting power.
And yet DC STILL disrrspects this guy
Another great video my friend! Shazam aka Captain Marvel is one of the few characters who can time travel and alter time in such a manner that it will not harm the timeline of said space - time. If I remember currently, he did this feat in Multiversity; due to the Wisdom of Solomon, going back in time an aiding himself on how to defeat his foe. WebCamParrot?!? How much money do I need to give you for that 20min Doctor Fate video that's been on your mind? Love and Respect to you sir!!
Please do a video explaining how powerful Martian Manhunter is. I’ve always thought he was insanely powerful but I’ve never been sure how powerful
Also, please do one on the Spector for all the same reasons as the MM one.
As far as I'm aware he can stack up against Superman
I have been dreaming about this since I discovered your channel
“Spinning shenanigans” 😂😂🤣
Justice league : alright team we have an existential threat about to devour our universe and everything we've tried has failed
Superman : HAVE YOU TRIED SPINNING REALLY FAST!
Now you got me curious about DC Thor feats
@@UNKNOWN-qr7uo you’re 8 months late
Billy batson magic use is vast though. When you have super man likes strength and imbued with magic, you're a force of nature. Juggernaut will have a word with you Shazam.
Shazam, just as strong as Superman, but always jobbing and playing second fiddle.
Batman is the face of DC, Superman is symbol of HOPE.
But again comic logic when aliens can beat gods which gets weird pretty
quick.
Wonder Woman victim
*Captain Marvel! The Mightiest Mortal ever! and The Happiest Hero ever!*
15:02 The phantom stranger nose bleed: is probably cuz shazam's magic is so strong that mere tapping in causes phantom stranger to nose bleed. I
My answer for why he doesn't have the feats of a lot of characters out there, DC kind of hates him. It's why in alternate versions he ends up being a villain or dies. They use him because he's popular and works well in the kid books. But DC is really petty that at one point Shazam was more popular than Superman. And any character that they haven't created is a character they will only use to be the guy that shows how strong something else is or how evil something is. Injustice, King Shazam, Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice, etc. He's like Captain Atom
Yeah they didn’t have the rights to Shazam at first. Shazam outsold Superman for a little bit! I wish DC gave him more respect.
Great video!
Could you make a video on final crisis? (A quick scaling for Empty hand the gentry mandrakk etc)
Wonder Woman needs more love. 😍
Suneish Basu nah she has enough
@@Anni3sgotagun no. She must have a video of her own on this channel.
@@scornbass1552 Totally.people some times underestimate her.her high end feats are on par with superman.screw the haters
Shazam: so supes theres this magic thing that i cant defeat do you think you can help
Superman: *thinks*
Shazam: yo-
Superman: we spin.
Shazam: what?
Superman: we spin.
Shazam: what ok?
*proceeds to spin it away*
SHAZAMS QUEST FOR NEW POWERS:
*grabs checklist*
Compassion check
Power of the man whos dancing skills almost destroyed creation check
Power of Darkseids Daddy check
All right lets go fucking punch the source open
This channel is frikkin Awesome ! LOL been bingeing through the content just gone 12 hours! not healthy
I'm glad you like the content!
11:32
Just imagine with THAT kind of power.
Making Billy Batson possibly a universal-level plus.
@Shawn Kuhn Impressive, but don't forget that Atlas was a Titan who's amazingly durable and his stamina is absolutely limitless.
Capt.marvel: I'm the Earth's mightiest mortal.
Superman: you aren't mortal.
Capt.marvel: I'm still strong.
Can you please make a video on TAO from the Wildstorm universe as no one on the web is even gonna make this video. He is one of the most interesting characters and is terribly underrated because he's totally unacknowledged.
Speaking of this video, this is great. You do a great work at explaining the most unpopular characters which truly deserve the attention they don't get. Keep up with the job at making amazing content.
He always get nerfed
I have been dreaming
about this since I
Discovered
Your channel
For some reason I didn’t get this in my inbox, I found this through recommended
Missed the best new 52 feat, making a tennis table appear through magic.
Man I've been waiting for this video for a while
Superman : i' ll try spinning that's a good trick
My god DC fans weren't kidding when they said Shazam would be much much stronger in the Rebirth
What about a video on Iron Man or Ultron?
@Nothing Important Here What about a Suprman Video.
He’s the Strongest character in marvel
@@chaddormammu646 There's already 2 Superman vids on WCP's channel.
@Nothing Important here Not Superman Suprman you know this Guy comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/battles-7/oryx-the-taken-king-vs-suprman-mcu-1900266/
@Daredevil Lebron
Iron Man id say kinda , but Ultron definitely is.
My favourite superhero.
Magical Superman with no weakness...
Even though I talked about him 3 years ago, but, I figured why the hell not. IMO, I find the concept and idea of Billy Batson/Captain Marvel is a fascinating and excellent one. I mean, for a character that possesses a level of power comparable to that of Superman and other godlike heroes and villains that has the mind and perspective of a kid sounds awesome to me. Anyways, I do agree with those that hate the fact that DC tends to nerf him in certain stories and certain DC related projects. For example, in the really solid DC Animated Movie Universe, Captain Marvel/"Shazam" was nerfed immensely especially in the Justice League: War animated film. I mean, in that movie, the JL's lineup consisted of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Flash (Barry Allen), Cyborg, and Billy Batson/Captain Marvel. You would think that this lineup would pose more than a challenge for Darkseid right. Well guess what, despite Billy having the strength of Hercules, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury, Darkseid manages to throw him around like a friggin' rag doll. As I am seeing that, I am like, "WTF is this garbage?!". I know the fact that Darkseid isn't supposed to be overlooked nor underestimated because of the truth that he is among the most powerful beings in the entire DC Multiverse. However, so is Captain Marvel/"Shazam". I mean, if major powerhouses like Superman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Supergirl, and Orion can take him on "mano y mano", then so can Captain Marvel/"Shazam". Throughout the course of Billy's illustrious 80+ years in comics, he has always been compared to Superman, not only in character, but also, in power as I mentioned earlier. There have been plenty of instances of Captain Marvel/"Shazam" has not only gotten the upper hand on the Man of Steel, but has defeated him as well. As a matter of fact, wasn't there a time where he knocked out Superman by powering his fists with Zeus' lightning and using the speed of Mercury. Afterwards, Billy went on to be modest by saying that he is lucky that Superman is vulnerable to magic, but still, he put Superman to freaking sleep with a simple two piece combo (granted his fists were powered by Zeus' lightning but still).
There was a time were many magicians, god and demon gave their power to Shazam so that he could fight the Specter, and so he did, he was a match.
Bruh I've watched you many times that I know how to perfectly mimic your voice
I still don't get how the writers make him susceptible to mind-control if he has the power of Solomon. Yeah, he got that power but he is still a kid.
The *Big Red Cheese* finally gets his due.😁👍
Bro love your breakdowns
I needed this 😃
Bullet
Really enjoying your series so far. I hope you get around to Silver Surfer & Ghost Rider eventually.
Finally! Been waiting for this!
Man, I love your channel. Please dont quit this channel. Can you do silver surfer next ?
@Daredevil Lebron Silver surfer recently has some insane feat where he fought knull the god of symbiote. Surfer is insaly powerful
One of Shazam’s powers was also super breath which she referred to as marble breath this power appeared in the golden age Captain Marvel comic books
What does the breath do
SHAZAM!
Good video just to note superman said he was not trying to fight king shazam on their first fight. But on their 2nd fight Superman beat Super girl and king shazam with ease.
Maybe you should cover a street level hero
Good videos bro
Superman is a mortal. NUFF SAID
Geoff johns has confirmed in his Shazam!
run that the
Shazam fami... bead more
Great review, and I have a question. who would win Shazam vs Trigon.
uncle Dudley
Shazam is respectfully below Raven and Etriagn let alone Trigon in the comics, in fact, Raven is Shazam's teacher now.
i never understood how black adam is his equivalent. since he draws his powers the the egyptian pantheon who are gods not made naturally by the godwave but the collective human unconscious/the dreaming. since the are not believed in as much anymore the are dying/fading to dust/back to the dream. so wouldn't black adam be weaker?
Yeah it was never really explained I just always figured that Black Adam was willing to use his full power all the time regardless but Captain Marvel actually holds back against literally everyone because he doesn't want to kill them. Despite this Captain Marvel tends to just win every-time anyway so.
In the most recent comics, Catwoman acquired these abilities in addition to her nine lives. So is it posible that she is the new Storm of The DC Universe?
Shazam kicks ass
Billy Batson would be more compelling IF he had to EARN each God's power by doing different "worthy' task...
There was a "Trials of Shazam" miniseries that was sort of like that but it focused on Freddy not Billy and it sucked. I think that having trials would undermine one of the most interesting parts of his character. Billy is interesting because he's a kid out of his depth having to suddenly deal with these new powers and the responsibilities and opportunities it gives him. Having trials to like prepare him for these powers would just be a very different story.
@@WebCamParrot what do you say about a Wonder Woman video?
Would make video over strength of wonder woman
Billy Batson magic use is vast though. When you
Have Superman likes strength and imbued with
Can you power scale the sentry ?
for short hes multversal at best rattty scaling hes hyperversal loses to superman low difff

Great video!.. are you doing one on ‘Black Adam’?..
great vid
Great video, as always. Just a little request, when you present a feat can you write the name of the comic where it appeard?
he needs to do this
Captain Marvel! The Mightiest Mortal ever! and The
The happiest hero ever...
Strong.
Dont stop making videos
I love post crisis Captain marvel Billy Batson and his family because all tree off
Mary marvle...
Any one going to talk about how he’s original powers come from a ancient Hebrew king, a Greek titan, two Greek Demi-gods, a Greek god and a Roman god
Should’ve used the name Captain Thunder post flashpoint.
I hope you do a presence video
Can you make a video on the Wizard Shazam i heard he scales to the specter.
They nerfed him
Yo Parrot can you show some love for the female Superhero out there like Zatanna she probably my favorite DC Character.
Shazam was done wrong in the new jl dark
Couldn’t agree more.
Spinning shenanigans LOL
Geoff Johns has confirmed in his Shazam! run that the Pre-Flashpoint/Post-Crisis Shazam Family still very much exists (they're just dead).
So no King Shazam cannot scale to Post-Crisis/Pre-Flashpoint Shazam.
Can you do Nabu vs DC Zeus?
Plz create a video on the creation of the dc multiverse involving empty hand,perpetua,the presence, Lucifer and Michael,and the source
Never given his due
Can spawn beat naruto and sasuke or jojo adventure or boros from one punch man
Well thinking since he has a part Zeus and one of those powers is shaped changing but I just thinking he could turn to anybody or anything that he wants just think about his head and says magic word. You should offer should also have size manipulation in weather patrol
7:00 I mean... It's a good trick!
Shazam! The real Captain Marvel
Ares was pretty weak during the time where billy beat him down. This can be inferred when Ares was claiming that he changed and considering he’s fuelled by war, him literally disregarding violence probably means he was at his lowest especially since he got knocked out by Shazam’s lightning. Which doesn’t make sense because Ares is in contention with Zeus many times and was never easily beaten
That just says to me that Shazam got a lot stronger but it is also possible that Ares was weakened. We don't actually know if he was weakened though so I went with the side that has a lot more evidence going for it. Like the New Gods/Skylords don't tend to get weaker just because they stop following their mantra.
Doctor Fate please
Can you do one of these videos on Superboy/Man Prime? Also would like to see Marquis of Death.. Mikaboshi, Nabu, DC Zeus & Trigon. Thank you
The God of dceu Shazam!?
Cool
A fictional mortal adolescent boy with all super powers/abilities from Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury after said "the magic word."
I truly wish this generation's DC people need to be realistic about Billy Batson's true potential without feeling disappointed.
