Description

Billy Batson is a Fifteen year old male possessing black hair, brown eyes, caucasian skin, with the average build and height for his age. Captain Marvel appears to be an older version of Billy however, standing at approximately 6,3 with a muscular build. Billy wears a simple Red t-shirt and jeans, with some black converse sneakers, the captain possessing his classic red costume.

Personality

Billy Batson is a surprisingly brave young man, ever since a young age. He's not afraid to do what's right, no matter the consequence, and all else be damned. One of the reasons he was chosen by the Wizard was due to the fact Billy held a child's innocence to the world around him, even at fifteen. A kind that most adults tend to lose, allowing their hearts to be corrupted, or just plain lost…

He's also a HUGE Superman fanboy. But the most he'll show of it is his Superman T-shirt.

Equipment

Billy uses a magic word, which happens to be the name of the wizard who chose him: Shazam. The word is an acronym of various historical figures who lend various powers over to him based on what they were known for.

Solomon For Wisdom
Hercules For Strength
Atlas For Stamina
Zeus For Power
Achilles For Courage
Mercury For Speed.

Altogether, when spoken, the magic word will cast a bolt of lightning that transforms what it hits into one of the mightiest mortals alive: Captain Marvel!

Of course, Billy has the exclusive ability to share the power of the word with others…namely with the three others he's made into his Shazam Squadron!

History

Billy Batson used to be a downtrodden young man. He was a boy separated from his family, his parents lost to him by the clutches of death. He became a homeless boy, living in an abandoned apartment and just barely scrounging together enough to eat by selling newspapers on a street corner. Until the day that he found himself entering the subway in order to get home, and stumbling across a train-car of a strange design, colored red and gold. Moving at the speed of light, the vessel transported him to the Rock Of Eternity, where he met the almighty Wizard, Shazam. The Wizard has existed for thousands of years, fighting against evil in its forms as the Seven Deadly Enemies of man, such as Pride, Envy, or Greed, the Seven given their own statues and flames. The Flames grow stronger if the Sin grows stronger in the universe.

As such, The wizard has decided on his newest champion: Billy himself! Why? Because Billy, even in the face of poverty and unhappiness, never strayed to acts of evil, and held a kind of child-like innocence that gave a whole other view of the world than that of an ordinary man being quick to judge, and see through a grim set of eyes.

But Billy alone could not uphold good as a mere boy. So, The wizard gave him a great power. A Power comprised of great figures in history each lending an amazing ability.

Solomon, For Wisdom
Hercules, For Strength
Atlas, For Stamina
Zeus, For Power
Achilles, For Courage And Invincibility
Mercury, For Speed

And altogether, When Billy Batson Utters the Magic Word…

"SHAZAM!"

A bolt of Mystic Lightning strikes him, and transforms him into the almighty hero: Captain Marvel!

Fast Forward to the present Day. Billy Batson is one of the youngest news reporters in history, working for the WHIZ news station as a cub reporter. He has made his name known to the world as Captain Marvel, protector of Fawcett City, and defeated many foes, such as IBAC the Terrifying, Doctor Sivana, and his greatest foe, Black Adam, the former champion of the Wizard who had turned evil, drawing his powers from various egyptian figures of history.

But Captain Marvel has been given a new warning: A warning from a new, unknown enemy known as 'Mister Mind.' A threat that he, with his glorious intellect, has summoned all of Captain Marvel's greatest foes into one alliance: The Monster Society Of Evil. Billy has now been overwhelmed by the great odds ahead of him, and now, his good friend, Talky Tawny, an Ifrit who can change between a human form, and into an animal (In Tawny's case, a cat, or his favorite, a tiger), has informed him he now has the ability to share the power of the word with others. However, due to this, so can Black Adam, who has taken on an apprentice, and behind Mister Mind's back, is attempting to share his magic with others in the name of evil!

And these others, with Billy, would come to be known as the Shazam! Squadron, whom Talky Tawny has handpicked from all over Fawcett City. With the aid of his new friends, The group must master the magic, and combat the Monster Society, before it can begin world domination!
