So we’ve all heard of Magic Users avoiding Captain because of Champion of Magic stuff, but what if it was the other way around?

What if, instead of being intimidated by Marvel and thus actively avoid being in his presence, they seek him out, or at least his magic out.

His magic is straight out of the Rock of Eternity, the source of all Magic. For a magic user or being, it would feel like going home.

Whilst every magician has their own magical signature which makes them them, this magic is unfiltered, raw and by all means, pure. So much so it’s blinding, it feels good to be around, and long exposure would bring some effects.

And what if Billy got bad experiences of magic users getting hooked on his magic, that he had to physically keep his distance, or put in wards or magical warnings of those who come too close for no reason.

It could explain why Fawcette has a magical population but not so much many magic users. Magical Creatures are welcome, they themselves are also creatures of magic, and so don’t feel as compelled to seek it out once exposed. If anything, it just makes them nicer to Cap.

Billy has been here since the 50s, and the Champion of Magic has been here longer. It’s entirely possible, even probable that he had to deal with magic users slowly becoming obsessed with his magic. Maybe give him a scenario where he has a mentor who was teaching him magic, and over time, have that mentor loose himself and become obsessive. A mentor he had to fight and later died because he wanted Billy’s magic.

It’s why he only uses magic when necessary.

It’s why he keeps his title a secret.

And why he can’t afford to spend too much time with the JLD, Raven or other magic users he likes. He doesn’t want a repeat of what happened.

[moonlightcycle571]

Billy: *turns into a woman*

JL: well Cap did say they had many forms

Billy: *turns into a child *

JL: that’s fine

Billy: *mentions not having a home aside from the rock of eternity*

JL: makes sense since he’s magic

Batman: *gets him an apartment*

Billy: thanks 🥹

Billy: *introduces Miss Marvel and Captain marvel Junior, who are very much children, as his twin and older brother respectively*

JL: Must be a magic thing

Billy: Wow, you guys are taking it better than I thought

JLD, watching from the sidelines: so we can’t say anything since he’s our boss, but how are they so blind????

Billy: *doing homework in the corner*

JL: makes sense that he’s want to say up to date of modern tech and events. Being a kid is a great cover.

JLD: stupid. They are all stupid.

Honestly, if Billy Batson made himself the Justice League cryptid, no one would even blink if/when his identity was revealed. Like "yeah, that's just Marvel. He's like that sometimes".

Like he just puts out such strange pieces of information that literally anything could be possible. He shows up to a League meeting one day soaked in Lazarus pit waters, and the only thing he says about it is an earnest apology for being late. His clothes audibly squelch when he sits down. The League is struggling to translate some old text because the language has literally been lost to time, and somehow Marvel not only knows it, but also other information that implies that he was alive at the time (he was not. Solomon is just very, very thorough). He casually mentions talking to gods like it's just another Tuesday. He eats weird shit. The way he uses magic gives the other magic users a huge migraine. He has very specific knowledge about not only being homeless in the 21st century, but also about being a homeless kid in the 21st century (he's very touchy about the foster care system). Sometimes things just see him and flee the other way. None of his villains take him seriously. He's friends with a magical tiger that sometimes talks. An ally refers to him as the "Incarnation of Magic" and the League takes that very literally. If you try and track him in his off hours or hunt him down literally at all it's like he just stopped existing. He's somehow very in touch with the modern world and also gets confused by the simplest things. Sometimes he talks about the Rock of Eternity like he was born there, died there, or like it's the place to take the ultimate power nap. Someone asks how he knows some forgotten dead language and he implies time travel. Diana thinks its continuous rebirth. Half the league has their money on immortal eldritch being. Was he created? Born? Is he even alive? The world may never know.

More on Lanterns and Marvel

See original post here: https://www.tumblr.com/moonlightcycle571/765612915343704064/lantern-corps-and-a-10-year-old-child-in-a-last

I talked about the Lantern list (a ranking of people who to this day refuse lantern offers) and having Billy Batson be number 1, and have Captain Marvel be number 2.

This would naturally attract the attention of Lantern Cores everywhere (like what do you mean they received offers from multiple lanterns multiple times), the space community (why does the Terra City of Fawcette have dominating spots) as well as the JL (Cap, why are you outclassed by a civilian from your own city).

I also fully believe Lois Lane is on the same boat as Billy Batson when it comes to Lantern offers. One does not jump off buildings or sneak into war zones without a great deal of will power and induce a great deal of fear. Lois Lane is definitely in the top 10.

Coincidentally, in the top 50, you will find Cat Grant, Vic Sage and surprisingly Vicki Vale (if she can make BATMAN shudder and be wary of her, she can make anyone fear her).

So it’s been accepted that journalists have a lot of will power, a lot of rage and can put the fear of god into you. Clark is not bitter that he’s not on the list, no sire. Never mind that Jimmy Olsen is in the Top 100.

Batman might want to study this phenomenon.

But anyways. One does not stay at the top without ridiculous numbers. As the only top 10 ers on earth, they have grown used to random rings trying to get them on space politics quests or whatnot.

So now imagine this: Lois Lane and Billy collab on a project. While they are speaking, random rings start to show up. Instinctively, both swat them away like flies while maintaining eye contact. They don’t realise what they are doing. Clark is having an aneurism.

At some point, they both realise that the other is swatting the rings away with the same nonchalance as the other. They immediately understand what’s up. The shit eating grin they both had made a bunch of yellow rings swarm around them.

Billy gets asked on why he doesn’t want to join the Green lanterns? Billy says it’s because he hates cops. Lois nods.

Hal cries himself to sleep that night.

Bonus:

Batman stalking a civilian named Batson who for some reason is number one in the Lanterns List, with an alarming amount of yellows.

Batman finds a black hair, blue eyes, orphan child.

Batman: Alfred call the guy

Bonus 2:

Billy immediately kicks Nightwing while yelling ACAB

Billy runs away

[moonlightcycle571]

I see him DJ ing like this for super magic / divine parties only. Anyone else, and it would literally boggle their minds.

Mercury/Hermes: Heeeeyyyyy Billy, Dionysus decided to compete with Loki on who throws the better parties. So now Olympus is hosting a Party to show the other Pantheons we party better.

Billy: only if I get the full footage of the Ulysse that I know you got stacked away somewhere

Mercury: Deal 🤝

Zeus: FUCK YEAH BRING IN THAT GOOD SHIT

Poseidon: Fuck it, being in the music, I need to get high before reliving that shit

Billy gets the footage, decides to put it into song form and share it. And that’s how we got Epic the musical. Athena loves the love she gets.

Hear me out: this but billy as the DJ

https://youtu.be/BLzxuIfD9rU?si=sCconQ203XoI18Ct

Billy as a dj sounds hilarious, if he has the energy to be a radio host I feel like he would make an interesting dj. So yes, I could make a drabble of dj Billy, it would be fun!

[moonlightcycle571]

The fic potential this has is astounding.

But why is no one talking about the fact that HE CAN FLY A PLANE. AND IS ORDERED TO WHAT I ASSUME TO BE A SEMI REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE WHY ELSE WOULD YOU GIVE A CHILD A PLANE!

Billy WHY DO YOU HAVE A PLANE

[moonlightcycle571]

Something about Billy Batson being a reporter has sometimes rubbed me the wrong way, especially with all the comparisons to Superman and Captain Marvel.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s hilarious to have this small ass child walk into littéral war zones, report it live, come out completely unscathed and have everyone wonder what the fuck is wrong with this kid.

I do like it better when he’s a radio host, and I like to think he takes over when he’s an adult after Mr Morris retires. But I have a better suggestion.

Billy Batson should run an animal conservatory. Be it as an adult or maybe as a child (and uses Dudley’s as a cover for any adult legitimacy).

I think this is the best possible job for him for three reasons:

1) Being a radio host/ reporter or anything in that industry requires a lot of time management, and which Billy’s Champion duties, where he can find himself in time shenanigans, I don’t think it’s the best fit for him. I do think FREDDY should take over Whiz Radio after Mr Morris retires. Have the Newsboys association pair up with Whiz, and let Freddy “Natural Born Leader With A Knack For Journalism” Freeman be somewhere he could actually thrive.

2) I head-cannon that Billy has a hyper fixation on animals. It might have stated with Tigers (I’m looking at you Tawny) but I see it delving into other animals like crocodiles, hypos then rabbits … Ect. With all the bipedal magic animal people, I see him taking an interest in them and genuinely wants to learn more about them. I see him taking over the zoo after Dudley retires, but then converts it into a conservatory and makes expansions (I’ll explain why in a bit).

3) I also see him hyper fixating on magic. So naturally he hyper fixated extra hard on magical creatures. Say he finds out smuggling rings and hunting organisations hunting magical creatures,he would need a place for them to shelter them for them to recover. And maybe decided to host and take care of almost extinct species, and care for them as his own.

So in the eyes of the public, he runs an animal conservatory dedicated to nurturing wounded animals and host endangered species. But secretly does the same thing for magical creatures as well as have a place for them to stay while he takes care of the Smugglers and Hunters. If they decide to stay and protect their territory afterwards, then that’s defiantly not a complaint.

Darla would love to work there (if she exists here). Specially on the magical creature side (couch unicorns cough). I see Mary also being extreme interested (may be for the less magical side), and could work there when she’s not doing her model/celebrity work.

Idk, the reporter by day trope has been a bit over used, and while I may like it, I absolutely love the idea of Billy mixing his Champion duties with his job that he would absolutely love.

[moonlightcycle571]

Absolute Captain Marvel

I was thinking about the Absolute universe that’s coming, an au where heroes are still heroes despite not having one of their core aspects. Where Batman isn’t rich and Martha is alive, Superman was raised on Krypton so was an adult when landing on Earth, and Diana wasn’t raised by Amazons, but by Circe in Hell.

So I’m here thinking what would be the twist on Captain Marvel. And I got suggestions.

1) Instead of being a child in an adults body, he doesn’t get an adult form. He also doesn’t get to age. So it’s eternally being underestimated because of his small form despite being much older than most heroes (having started in the 80s). It would bring a nice contrast to child being told to grow up and adult being told to stand down.

2) Billy and Mary die, so Captain Marvel and Lieutenant or Mary it Miss Marvel is actually C.C and Marilyn Batson grieving their children. Motivation: making sure no goes through the pain of loosing children like they did.

3) Billy gets no family. A lot of Billy’s character is that he finds and makes his own family (Mary, Freddy, the Vasquez’s, the Bromfields … Ect). What if he just, decided to skip all of that. He’ll still be the same, but instead of having the power of friendship, he’ll just have the power of litteral divin wrath. Maybe he got trauma from relying on adults that should have cared for him (I’m looking at you Ebenezer). Maybe he’ll have a “learn to rely on adults” arc with the Absolute Justice League.

4) I know I’ve talked about this before, but what about a Marvel that cares more about Magic than Humans. Instead of being more aligned to “Earths Mightiest Mortal” title, he’s close to “The Champion of Magic”. It would be such a cool concept to have a more magically inclined Cap. Especially when we are getting a Wonder Woman who will be raised by the OG witch herself (Circe). Let them throw magic spell combos.

5) More side effects of the Time Bubble au. War veteran Billy. A city that’s extremely displaced. Norms being now illegal, a whole city of people who need to deal with the fact that any friend, relative or even life outside of Fawcette is just out of time. Have a Cap who struggles with heroics and, well, people outside of Fawcette and the overwhelming guilt. Also, give me a Fawcette city that evolved differently from the rest of the world. They maybe be lacking in technology in some departments, they are extremely advanced in other departments. And maybe sprinkle in some Magic City Fawcette. Or maybe some time shenanigans Fawcette. You get the gist.

Anyways, a lot of these are just some thoughts and durables I’ve taken inspiration from. Let me know if you have any Absolute Marvel Ideas that don’t take away from him being a hero.

[moonlightcycle571]

Only if you season it properly :)

Marvel Freaking People Out

Since Marvel isn’t human, he can do a lot of things a human can’t. As a result, Billy takes advantage of this anytime he can.

Gods: “CHUG CHUG CHUG”

Marvel: *consecutively chugging monster energy after monster energy*

Supes: “What is he doing…?”

Flash: “He told me the gods in his head are trying to see how many monster energies he can drink until his heart fails.”

Supes: “What?!” *sounds alarmed and starts counting the bunch of cans on the counter* “How many has he drank?! Why haven’t you stopped him?!”

Flash: *shrugs* “I didn’t even think he had a heart. Do you hear one?”

Supes: *tunes his hearing to hear his heart* “No???” *sounds horrified*

By the way, Billy thought all of them were tasty and that was the only reason he did it.

Batman and Marvel: *staring down at a henchman*

Marvel: “Hey, Mr. Batman, wanna see something cool?”

Batman: “Hn.” (translated: Go ahead. We already got the information anyways)

Marvel: *casts a little spell on the henchman and makes them hit themselves over and over* “Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself.”

Batman: *stares for a little bit* “You can just do that?”

Marvel: *dissolves the spell* “Yeah?”

Batman: “How interesting.” *freaking out inside*

Bruce was thinking about how easy he could do that to Clark or literally anyone else.

Then there was the time he and got offended by another leaguer.

Marvel: *gasp* “How dare you!” *detaches his arm and smacks them with it*

Leaguer: *horrified he just took off his arm*

Speaking of detaching limbs, this man will let his hands run around like Frankie Stein from Monster High. He also bends his body in weird ways when Nightwing challenges him. He always wins because he doesn’t think Nightwing can bend backwards till the point it should realistically snap his back.

[moonlightcycle571]

Waylon: Are you telling me that I can get a house, friendly neighbours and a job with fair pay without any hint of criminal activity

Billy: Yeah dude, we have tons of non-humans. I could recommend you to a great croc community, next to the dryad forest.

Waylon: And I won’t run away if I were to go grocery shopping or be called a freak on the street

Billy: What, no! That’s so not cool

Waylon: And your local hero…

Billy: Loves magical folk. He is magic. And the Champion changes form every now and then so he’s not all hung up about looks.

Waylon: but I’m not magic

Billy, not listening: His best friend is a Bipedal Tiger. He’s the museum night guard. He’s amazing *keeps talking about magic, tigers, second chances and Turing your life around*

Waylon: …

Waylon: When can I move

Bonus:

Ivy: Dryad forest you say

Clayface: Changes forms you say

Two face: many faces

Riddler: I think I heard something about trolls and riddles in his rant

Catwoman: a bipedal tiger 🐯

Bonus 2:

Batman: Captain why are some of my most prominent rogues moving to Fawcette

Captain Marvel: Who do you mean

Batman: Killer Croc is a good example

Billy, fully knowing Waylon despises that name: …

Billy: Now listen here you little shit-

If Billy met Waylon Jones on a trip to Gotham he absolutely wouldn't think he was a monster. There are so many crocodiles talking to Fawcett.

He would be in Gotham when he heard people starting to scream around him. He goes to the nearest person to ask what's going on and it turns out that this charming gentleman crocodile is asking him why he's not afraid of his appearance.

Billy : Are you just a crocodile ? I know things are different in Gotham but this racism is ridiculous.

Waylon adores him and Billy talked Waylon into stopping by Fawcett for a visit. Discovering the culture Billy thinks he's been cut off from. Batman wonders why at the next meeting Captain Marvel is complaining about Gotham's racism towards non-humans.

[moonlightcycle571]

Are you telling me out of four heroes, one of which is the king of the Seas, and the other three being able to fly, they somehow got stranded on an island for days????

Even if magic was involved to Cap is the littéral Champion of magic. And even if the ring was out of juice, Diana and Billy could have easily carried Hal and Arthur. Or they could have all rode on dolphins.

Nah, they didn’t do shit on purpose. There was a vacay. They probably did ride the dolphins though.

BONUS:

The island was actually rigged with cameras to see how the heroes react, and maybe find out the secret identities. When they found out the intended heroes (probably Batman, Green Arrow and other non flying heroes) were not caught, they were ready to call it quits. But then the heroes caught didn’t leave. They just stayed.

Cap teleported snacks and pastries (probably from the cafe of eternity). And everyone watching is like… he can teleport stuff? Can he teleport people? Why have they not escaped, when they could fly, swim and TELEPORT.

At some point the footage gets leaked in the format of an episode where Batman and Superman are investigating the whereabouts of their colleagues, and then it just pans out to them making a sandcastle. Hal fell asleep and the other three, being little shits, decided to bury his body (-his face) in the sand and shape it as a mermaid.

The footage goes viral.

Island Retreat

Some JL members get stranded on an island.

Marvel: “I caught couple rats and a rabbit.” *holding the rats by their tails and the rabbit by its legs*

GA: “Ooh nice. I got a deer. Can I have a rat or two? They taste like stringy chicken.”

Marvel: “Sure!”

WW: “I brought back a bear.” *points behind her to a bear*

GA and Marvel: “Woah, Wondy you’re the best!”

The reason Marvel didn’t get anything bigger was because as Billy, he’s used to catching rats and pidgins so he stuck to what he was used to. GA just was just hunting, and Wonder is just Wonder. Now, of course as Marvel, he could’ve catch bigger things. This was utilized when Arthur, Diana, and him made a challenge of hunting and ran around trying to hunt the most. Diana won with a warthog, three deer, a rabbit, and a snake.

So, here’s the squad: Marvel, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman.

They turned this into a vacation guys. They’re playing beach ball with a makeshift ball. They’re using the radio they’re supposed to be using to radio for help, for music. They’re chilling.

Aquaman: *stops paying attention to their beach ball game and doesn’t even notice as it smacks into his head as he’s looking to the water*

GA: “Dude…? Why’d you throw our game? Now we’re behind those two.” *looks to where Arthur’s looking*

Marvel and WW: *also look over to the water*

*silence*

Dolphin: *suddenly pops up out of nowhere tugging a crate with him*

Aquaman: “Oh my god…” *rushes over*

GA, Marvel, WW: *confused*

Aquaman: *opens crate* “Alcohol!”

All of them were later chilling on the beach, drinking cocktails of their choices…

GA: “The is the life…”

Aquaman: *Agreed. It’s nice to have a couple days away from Atlantis and being a hero. Speaking of which, Cap, I’m honestly surprised you’re so chill about this.”

Marvel: “Whatcha mean?”

GA: “Dude, you never take breaks.”

Marvel: “Wha? Of course I do.”

WW: “Brother, the other day I heard Bruce discussing with Clark about the fact that out of the six years you’ve been on the team, you’ve never once asked for some kind of leave.”

GA: “Wait really??”

Marvel: *silence* “I don’t see how it’s a bad thing.”

Aquaman: “It is a bad thing, pal. That’s not normal. You don’t have any family you need to visit or spend time with?”

Marvel: “No, not really. Junior and Mary are in the hero bizz so we spend a lot of time together already. Then, as for you guys, I see you almost every day since I go to the Watchtower a lot.”

GA: *gasp* “You consider us family?” *sounds touched*

Marvel: “Yes? Is that bad?” *sounds self conscious*

Aquaman: “Not at all. I for one am happy to be apart of your family.” *sounds proud*

WW: “As am I. I’m happy we’re siblings, brother.”

When the four were finally found, they got scolded by Bats and Supes.

Batman and Supes: *standing side by side*

Batman: *bat-glaring them all*

Supes: “What is wrong with you?! You can’t just shipwreck and then not contact us! Why didn’t you use the emergency radio?!”

GA: “There was an emergency radio?”

Supes: “Yes!”

Marvel: *whispers to Arthur in Atlantean* “Is he talking about the radio we used to play music?”

Aquaman: *whispers back in Atlantean* “I think so.”

Supes: “What’re you two saying?”

Marvel and Aquaman: *simultaneously, and in English* “Nothing.”

Supes: *starts ranting again*

WW: *whispers in Greek* “What were you guys saying?”

Marvel: *also switches to Greek* “The radio. We think it was the one we used to play music.”

Supes: “Guys! I can still hear you!”

Marvel: “Sorry Mr. Superman.”

WW: “Apologies, Clark.”

Supes: *starts ranting again*

GA: *in Italian* “What were you guys talking about?”

Marvel: *in Italian* “Remember the radio? We think that was the SOS radio.”

Supes: “GUYS. Stop whispering in languages we don’t understand—”

Batman: “I understood two out of those three.”

Supes: “—In languages I don’t understand!” *looks to Bruce*

Batman: “They weren’t using the SOS radio to signal for help.”

Aquaman: “We were using it for music.”

GA: “Arthur! You snitch!”

Aquaman: “What? They were gonna find out anyways.”

Supes: “Why were you guys playing music???”

WW: “We had what one would call a vacay.”

Supes: *takes a deep breath* “Okay. Marvel, go sit over there.” *points to a couple feet away from the other three*

Marvel: “What? Why?”

Supes: “Because you speak to many languages! Now go.”

Marvel: *pitifully walks over there*

Supes: “Now, back to what I was saying.” *starts ranting again*

[moonlightcycle571]

Arsenal discovers this. Arsenal should not have discovered this.

Now Captain Marvel and Arsenal and juggling their limbs. They play baseball, but the bat is Caps arm, and the ball is Arsenals arm.

During Halloween they do joint costume of Frankenstein’s monster, and litterally swap limbs. How they swapped two perfectly functioning legs as well as the arms is beyond everyone.

The trans community discovered this. Now trans men and trans women are pairing up to ask Cap to switch certain limbs. Cap says there’s an easier spell for that. They say how do you know that. Cap says he uses it on himself every now and then (he got trans and gender fluid champions in the past) (could also imply trans or fluid Billy Batson).

Cap becomes a gender icon. Cap destroys transphobia. World peace ensues.

It’s cannon. Trust.

I love this! I especially love that Caps getting hugs! Billy probably doesn’t have the chance to get hugs or positive physical contact a lot, so when he is seeked out for comfort, be it from a hero, civilian or otherwise, I can see him being absolutely touched by it.

Also, why does this remind me of the meme where one person (Cap) wears a sign written “Free Hugs” and everyone is just rushing towards him.

Marvel’s a Good Hugger.

He really is. Like he’s the go to guy for hugs. More than a couple times, he’s hugged someone with daddy issues and they’ve broken down crying.

Marvel and GL: *hugging*

GL: *sniffles*

Marvel: *pauses and looks down in confusion* “What was that?”

GL: “Nothing.” *sniffles again*

Marvel: “You sure…?”

GL: “Yeah. Shut up- yeah.”

Marvel: “…Okay…?”

GL: *pulls away after a bit, rubbing his eyes*

Marvel: “Are you crying?” *sounds super concerned*

GL: “No! No I’m not!”

There’s also the fact that Marvel’s a nice eight feet tall so almost everyone comes up to his chest. So, when he gets particularly giddy and happy…

Marvel: *Bouncing around super happy, hugging Batman*

Batman: *one side of his face is smushed into Marvel’s chest. His feet aren’t even touching the ground*

Robin!Tim: *videoing the entire thing*

Batman: *just resigned to his fate*

This video was passed around the other sidekicks, then their mentors and that’s how Bruce ended up getting teased by Flash and GL for the rest of the week.

Then, just for Adam specifically…

Marvel: *with a smile on his face, hugging Adam spine crushingly hard*

Black Adam: *punching, kicking, and overall just flailing to him to get him off*

Marvel: *unfazed up until Adam gets him in the eye and he lets go*

Black Adam: *slightly heavy breathing because he felt his lungs being compressed*

This clip goes viral and Batman’s just thinking of all the times Marvel’s hugged him and how easy it could’ve been for Cap to do him like Bane did. Meanwhile, people are wondering why the Captain was hugging his archenemy so tightly.

Also, just randomly, a YJ member will yell:

M’gann: “Group hug!”

And everyone will just rush to hug Marvel. It’s not even really a group hug too. They’re only really hugging Billy. And the thing is, these kids will brawl each other to get there first. Tim would pull a Robin from Teen Titans Go and swing his staff at one of Wally’s legs. Of course, he wouldn’t break it, he’d just trip him, but still. As for why they brawl for it? Whoever gets there first gets the full extent of Cap’s hug. Everyone else gets it to a lesser extent since they either have to sort of dog pile or hug around the person who got there first.

What

Why

[moonlightcycle571]

You saw that as if most magic users don’t have what’s basically some sort merch that could be linked to the whole SHAZAM thing.

Doctor Fate: And this is a grimoire written by The Champion almost a millennia ago. The book holds untold power and secrets beyond human comprehension

Marvel: oh that’s where my scrapbook went!

Or

Constantine: this water has deep magic properties, and is said to have been blessed by the embodiment of magic itself

Marvel: … is that my old bath water

Or

Raven: these are some ancient depictions of the Great Warden, said to hold some of the most horrendous of evils.

Marvel: I got fan art 🥹

Or

Marvel:

Zatanna:

Marvel: is that a pot of me?

Zatanna: Shut Up

Or

Jason Blood, handing over an extremely old paper with ancient scribbles: Sign this

Marvel: what

Jason: I managed to get the signature of two past champions. If I get yours, it’s going to be three. Which would be one more than Merlin, and two more than Morgana. Now sign

Marvel: ok 👌

Or

Félix Faust: Can I-

Marvel: No

Félix: you didn’t even let me finish

Marvel: I AM NOT GIVING YOU SOME OF MY HAIR

Félix: You gavé Klarion some of your familiars hair

Marvel: Hey, he worked to brush through Tawnys hair. Tawny doesn’t let anyone brush it.

Klarion, somewhere: I sense something chaotic somewhere. … good good

Cults Galore

Cults. If the JL had a nickel for every cult dedicated to Marvel they’ve found, they’d have two nickels. Don’t get them wrong, it’s not a lot, but it’s still concerning.

Aquaman, Green Lantern, and Marvel were sent to an alien planet. They needed to establish peaceful contact with the people there. That was the goal. So why? Why in the Gods’ names are the people here all tatted up with lightning bolts suspiciously similar to Marvel’s. Why are they calling Marvel Thavma? And most importantly, why are the three being lead to some type of shrine?

Hal: “Hey uh… I’m sorry to ask, but what does this shrine you told us about have to do with the treaty you need to sign?”

Alien Leader: “They are sacred grounds.”

Hal: “Okay…?”

Alien Leader: *continued to lead them until they came upon a bunch of people petrified into stone. The people were placed in a circle, in the middle was a grand shrine*

Aquaman: “What’s with all the statues?”

Alien Leader: “Statues- ah yes. The statues.” *looks to Marvel* “We’ve all kept them preserved just for you. Just in case that of off chance you decided to grace us with your presence again. And would you look at that? It paid off.”

Marvel: *awkwardly smiles at the Alien leader*

Alien Leader: *looks back ahead*

Marvel: *elbows Aquaman and starts speak in Atlantean* “This guy’s creepy.”

Aquaman: *responds in Atlantean* “I know.”

Hal: “What’d you guys say?”

Marvel: *switches back to English* “We’ll tell you when we get back to the ship.”

*awkward silence of following the Alien Leader*

Aquaman: “So… The statues. You make em or something?”

Alien Leader: “No no no. They’re all soldiers of the people who used to oppress our kind. They were petrified by our very lord themself during the uprising.” *looks over to Marvel* “Do tell me you remember?”

Marvel: *searches though memories and finds out a previous champion had done all of this* “I do.” *looks literally anywhere but Hal and Arthur*

Hal and Aquaman: *immediately share a look*

Later…

Marvel, Hal, and Arthur: *all at a burger joint eating in civvies*

Arthur: “I don’t get it. How do you just fail to mention that you petrified an entire army?”

Marvel: *shrugs* “I kinda forgot.”

Hal: “How do you just forget that? Also, you guys never told me about what you guys were saying. Are you guys gonna spill the beans now or what?”

Marvel: “What are you talking about?”

Hal: “When you elbowed Arthur?”

Marvel: “Ohhhh that.”

Arthur: “We were just talking about how the guy was creepy.”

Hal: *nods head* “True dat. True dat.”

Then there was the second cult. This one’s human though, don’t worry. This cult was found by Marvel, Batman and Robin.

Marvel: “I thought you just said this was just a cult. Not a cult for me.” *looking around at the various tapestries with his lightning bolt symbol*

Robin!Damian: “What makes you think it’s for you?”

Marvel: *gestures to the lightning bolt on his chest, then to the other lightning bolts on the decor of the place*

Batman: “They were worshiping someone named Keraunos.”

Robin!Damian: “And unless your name is Keraunos, it’s not for you.”

Marvel: “I’ll have you know it’s actually one of my names.” *walks until he stops in front of a fountain*

Robin: “You can’t be serious. Why would they worship you of all people? There’s hardly anything of value to worship in the first place.” *follows after him and stops near the fountain too*

Marvel: “Should I be offended by that?” *looks down at the water* “Geez, were they drinking electricity charged water? Normal humans cannot do that.”

Batman: *also walks over and kneels down slightly to read a plaque* “This plaque says the water was blessed by you.”

Marvel: “Uuuhhhh… No it isn’t.” *sticks a finger into the water* “This is just normal electricity.”

Robin: *tries to stick his own finger in*

Batman: *swats Damian’s hand away* “Regardless, what’s causing the electricity?”

Marvel: *puts some of his own lightning into the water*

Batman, Robin, Marvel: *hear something short fuse and look to see something off to the side smoking*

Marvel: “Probably that.”

Lantern Corps and a 10 year old Child

In a last post, I said the Lantern Corps would love Captain Marvel because he’s omni-lingual (and there’s so many different species so it makes sense that they would feel comfertable around a guy who can speak their mother tongue, no matter how obscure it is).

And then it came to me in a glorious vision, the Cores would LOVE or absolute HATE Billy Batson, be it as a kid it as Captain Marvel.

First on the Love Captain spectrum:

Red Lantern: that’s the corps that’s the most insistent. Man’s fights littéral Wrath and demons alike on a weekly basis. Man’s go to weekly poker night with Satan and other Wardens of Hell. Why? Because he has his own prison dimension in th Rock of Eternity, who also holds the strongest demons.

Yellow Lanterns: as champion of magic, he holds a lot of weight. Especially for magic users. One flick of a wrist and boom, your magic is gone. The whole concept of ‘The Champion’ is enough for most to fear him. That and one does not play poker with The Devil from The Bible and other figures from various religions, and just have a normal presence. He’s terrifying when he wants to be. In his Cap form, he needs to actively tamp down to appear more family friendly, and not the eldricht horror he knows he could easily look like.

Green Lanterns: Homeless Child Superhero dealing with horrors must adults can’t handle. That takes willpower. Even before Captain, I’m pretty sure off willpower alone he could qualify. But what’s the real ringer is his imagination. The Rock of Eternity has access to magical dimensions that no amount of crack could dream up. Man’s had to learn how to use Looney Toones Logic irl and it works. Man’s got a while Disney Dimension with Ballerina Hippos with their Croc partners. Mans has debates about files with littéral walking talking dinosaurs. Billy is hella creative, and who knows what would be made with a ring.

Blue Lanterns: do I … do I need to explain? There are the lantern corps of Hope, I think the rest is pretty self explanatory. I will say though, he was close to accepting when he found out they got a Corgi. Even closer when Dex Starr, the red lanterns cat got a

Orange Lantern: bro fights the physical manifestations of the Seven Deadly Sins , including Greed on a regular basis. By right of conquest, he really should be wearing the ring rn. They be trying to put a ring on it for ages.

Black Lanterns: he once revived Freddy and or Mary by reconnecting them to the rock, and since then is considered a ‘nécromancer’. Also (similar to the Avatar State) he has memories of past champions, including death, so one can argue he’s in a life and death loop.

White lanterns: same reasons as the Black Lanterns. They’ve been trying to get Billy to also out-do said Black Lanterns (who in turn try to recruit him some more). It’s just one vicious snowball effect now.

Now for the Hate Captain spectrum:

Star Sapphire Corps: The thing about Billy is that he’s AroAce. Very Aro and Very Ace. So those who draw power from love and try to flirt are met with the disgusted face of someone who’s famously nice. It was a devastating blow to the whole corps. At some point Hal decided to hide behind Cap to escape another Star Sapphire who fell inlove with him, and they just, lost their power. No longer had the ability to fly and everything. He’s Ace-ness is crippling. And it did bring memes. The Ace community was winning.

Indigo Tribe: he’s too autistic for them. And while being the warden of multiple dangerous beings fits their MO and all, they ain’t touching the bullshit magical logic with a ten foot pole. That, and the first time a ring was sent to him to recruit him to keep the evil ones in line, he roasted their whole system, their ugly ass uniforms (that particular shade of indigo clashed with his Hero Outfit way to much) and ended with a comparison to them with a guy called ‘King Kid’ and the fucking ‘Easter Bunny King’ that somehow did a much better job at Machiavellic while also being uhly. They never sent a second one. The red lanterns sent more.

Ultraviolet lanterns: again, man’s fights the Seven Sins on the regular, is their warden along with other sick evils, lies to the Justice League on the regular and plays poker with Demons (and wins) despite being one of the most honest people there is. That and he’s so dad shaped, it counters their power of daddy issues.

Bonuse:

It’s not uncommon for various JL members to receive lantern rings. They just don’t want to. So the standard procedure is to find your local lantern, and give them rings. At some point all the Corps made a lantern offers chart (and maybe the JL got a bit competitive).

Problem, that screen was using old alien tech that didn’t have colour. So they knew Cap had the most lantern offers, but they didn’t know which colours. Until it got fixed.

J’le looking at the rainbow that’s Captain Marvels Ring List: …

Batman: Captain, why is there so many red ones?

Billy, sweating: …

Hal, not comfy with the amount of yellow: I… I need to make a few phone calls.

John, the one who’s been receiving all of his rings: Uh, don’t remind me. I’ve been getting cramps with the amount of times I had to input the different colours.

Dinah: I don’t think even I’m qualified for the amount of therapy everyone is going to need.

WonderWoman: How to you have Negative Pink Rings??? You can’t get a negative number in a list

Billy, inputing the Zeta Tube: haha, it’s so weird

John: … do I need to add AroAce as a weakness for the Sapphires???

Bonus points if the results are open to the galactic public, and just wonder who tf are and ‘Billy Batson’ and Captain Marvel and why they are dominating the top ranks. What is in the Terra city Fawcette.

Extra Bonus Point if the JL go: Who tf is Billy Batson, and why is he ranked above Captain Marvel.

I’ve been waiting to do this one for a while. But never got the motivation. Let me know if I missed any, and feel free to write fanfic (please tag me if you do, I wanna reeeeead).

Final note, I want to give a certain someone a comment of appreciation.

@wonderjanga you are my favourite person on this app. You are the reason I decided to get out of my procrastination slump. Thank you for you content, it’s always so creative and I deeply enjoy it.

For those who don’t know them, I recommend checking out their content. It’s genuinely inspiration for me to start writing again. I don’t think I’ll be writing on ao3 soon, but maybe one day.

@puppetwoman17 The Wolverine. You show up at the most random times, and is somehow always on top of things.

Constantly keeping us in the loop of the newest trends or posts. Istg I posted this morning and not even an hour later, you reposted. You are in our walls.

Reblog if you want your followers to tell you which fictional character you remind them of.

[moonlightcycle571]

Adam is now the unwilling Uncle to multiple generations of Supers (and some villains alike. He is not happy about it.

If one more adult-child of the child-dad shows up in his room at 3am, he might have to start getting restraining orders or diplomatic protection or even bodyguards.

No, Superman, he is sure neither him nor the Captain are Kryptonian. No Spoiler, I will not fight the entire Bat-Colony for free parent rights, I don’t want more Bats trying to snoop into my records. Can someone get The Creeper away from the archives, I don’t want to give him more ideas for his fan fiction page. I don’t care about Adam on Adam solidarity! WHY IS RETIRED HERO JAY GARRICK TRYING TO GET ADOPTED! knowing us pre-time bubble does not count as ‘having dibs first’

He is tired. He is also unfortunately family by proxy.

I’d like to remind everyone that while this amazing, mouth-watering, life changing Dad Marvel AU is happening, this is the state of the Marvel family:

Billy: huh, all of these previously troubled heroes are now more well rounded and mentally healthy. I wonder how they happened?🧐

Mary: guess I’m an aunt now, lol

Freddy: guess I’m an uncle now, lol

Adam: WHERE ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE COMING FROM?!?!
