Captain Marvel Adventures #30 - Recolored

Original Scan Here 👈

[chaoticallyfluffy]

I wrote a new fic for pride month! Read it here if you're interested!

And here's a drawing of it! Spoilers ahead! (But please do look at the drawing after reading the fic, I think its so freaking cute)

[mrfanlow]

Hello! Hello! I've been reading about Billy Batson a lot recently. Seeing many identity reveals about him I couldn't stop myself to share my own...

What if Captain Marvel revealed his identity weeks before his marriage?

Like when the meeting ends, he stands up and start saying that he wants to invite them, just as they too invited him to such events. They get curious. "So I'm inviting you all to my wedding"

Shock. There was coughting and wide eyed stares. Captain is a really a perfect man to say, he doesn't has pimples, his hair always perfect and he literally shined like a perfect doll. It wouldn't hard to quess that he was pinned, but no. There was something that no one could fall in love with him. Man himself was not into romance, hearing this was REALLY wrong.

JL not clearly progressing his words, Captain continued with a bit nervous voice "And with that I also want to open up to you guys. I've been in this team for as long as I know, by the first impression when I joined, I was anxious about you all finding out who I really was, but right now, It's starting to get rather stupid to keep hiding it."

Shock ×2. He didn't share about his personal life for like 10- or much more years. Only about his work, soup kitchen, how Fawcett City handling things, people's lifetime that he have heard, from his experience of the fight. And, well, magic adventures. They tried many times to call him out, but he finded to excuse himself or dissapered with the blink of the eye, leaving them talking to air. They stopped asking him about it.

Captain backing off or gets them to teleport somewhere safe with no devices(I dunno, I think with one word Captain could break the WatchTower). Lightning hits him and in his place stands 20th looking guy with not so much similarity with the Cap but have some details alongside, saying "Hi, I'm Billy Batson. You know me as Captain Marvel-"

Shock ×3. After all he was a child at first hand. He wasn't free after that. They wanted answers to their unstoppable questions. A lot of angst followed with it.

(It sounded much more funny in my head. Well, I'm not good at it. Also I'm suspecting to have errors in my text. If you wondering who he was marrying to, it's Cissie Sommery from old comics. Not finding a pair that I would like to match with Billy I slowly drifted away to make him single or aroace like Marvel, but she came and saved me from this. At my view point they are cute together.)

Late Night Pride Post (T4T Billy and Cissie Edition)

Yo what up, I have overdue assignments and overdue fanfictions to post, but hear me out:

Captain Marvel is found out to be Billy Batson, twelve year old orphan kid from Fawcett city, AKA, the Champion of Magic, AKA, the kid who hid his age and identity from the JL for over four years. :D fun

Yeah the JL didn't like that. However, due to his position as one of the heaviest hitters on the League, and his good reputation, Billy was not kicked out from the JL, instead being put on a probationary/suspension period, where he would be observed by a JL member to oversee his ability to be a hero.

Who is it overseeing Billy's JL suspension, Y'all ask? Well, y'all gonna find out~

Now, cut to a week later

Cissie and Billy going out on a cute little date and having a nice time together.

Going on a picnic in the park, taking a lovely stroll through the city gardens to appreciate Cissie's flora knowledge, touring the museum district together to hear Billy go wild about the exhibits~ They're just two youngsters in love who are having a very nice first date <3

Nothing can go wrong~

...

Except it's the Batson luck to always have something go wrong.

Just as Cissie and Billy are touring through the museum district and enjoying a rest for a root beer float to share, a loud and whailing screech booms from down the street. The Shockwave sent rubble and debris flying through the air, sending Fawcett citizens running for their lives at this new attack on their city.

Wanting to check out the scene but also needing to protect Cissie, Billy grabbed hold of her hand with a blushing face and ran outside, needing to see just a glimpse of what he was going to be up against soon before he sent Cissie to safety.

It was just a second.

A split second before his stomach sank to hell and dread filled his heart.

Down the street he could see it....

The green glow of a power ring and the ginger hair of the one superhero he hated the most; Guy Gardner.

And oh yeah there was an alien monster there, too 😒

Of all days, of all the superheroes to bring a fight down into HIS city, it had to have been Guy Gardner during his first date with Cissie. Oh that was just fantastic! Billy just had a hunch that Guy steered the fight into Fawcett on purpose.

Unable to transform into Captain Marvel due to the crowd around him, Billy had to let Guy Gardner handle this fight with a grunt.

When the dust settled and the crowd cheered for the the Green Lantern, Billy tried to escape with Cissie to leave Guy behind, but as luck would have it, Billy ended up getting followed by the annoying man.

Now, Billy wasn't only getting irritating advice from the man about being a hero when he was Captain Marvel, no, NOW he was carrying a third wheel on his date 🙄 who was constantly trying to give Billy not so subtle dating advice (child version advice, but still embarrassing coming from an adult regardless).

Guy Gardner: Hey, kid! A foot apart from the girl. Don't get any funny ideas about holding hands on the first date, hahaha!

Billy: (*｀Д´)ノ！！！

Cissie thought it was funny.

Billy just wanted to punch Guy to the moon.

TLDR: Billy's first date with Cissie ends up interrupted by a hideous creature that came from space, and an alien, too.

Don't worry, in the end, Guy makes it up to Billy for embarrassing him on his first date and helps to impress Cissie with a little fly through the air for them both.

Blackmail (a Marvel Family crack scenario)

based on a comversation with @the-brash-spud

Mary is searching though the Batson Family Album and saw Toddler Billy in a Tiger onesie and had a mischievous Idea

Mary:"Billy~ look what I got~"

Billy:"Where did you find that!?"

Mary:"You look so adorable in it! I bet Cissie Sommerly would love to see it~"

Billy: What do you want? Do you think l'll give up my dignity to drop onto my knees and beg?!

Billy: Because you're right!*drops onto his knees* pleASE! ANYONE BUT CISSIE!

Freddy stumbling across thisscene: "what's going on?"

Billy thinking Freddy would help him:"She's bullying me!"

Freddy looking at Mary dissapointed at first before he smirks and join in: "You know Mary, I think I can ask Mrs Wagner to tailor that same tiger onesie to Billy's current size"

Mary:"That's be awesome" *chuckles*

they ended up making one size for Captain Marvel and made him go see the League in it.

His only explanation is: "My civilian dignity is worth more than this one.' Batman only asks if this is going to last long (used to shenanigans like this), and Marvel says that clearly he isn't the one who gets to decide.

Captain marvel in the tiger onesie grumbles as Mary andJunior Giggled.

One of the leaguers:"Hey cap,you really need to learn how to discipline your kids one day, They put you up to this didnt they?"

Marvel:*dies in the inside even more*

[wolfsbanesparks]

I'm curious and making a seperate post about the forgotten and older Captain Marvel characters from the past comics, but what are your thoughts on them? A bunch of them aren't even used anymore, but have so much potential to them if they're ever brought back.

Like Joane Jameson, apparently she was Billy and Captain Marvel's secretary at Whiz Radio, who knew of both of his identities and helped them. I really like this idea and think it would really be useful for a Billy Batson that's a street kid and constantly wary of adults who might want to turn him back in to the foster system, she provides a safe example for Billy to look up to and actually trust. Not just that, but she could also provide assistance for Billy/Captain Marvel on missions, things he may lack insight on or informing him of villainous attacks/incidents.

Are there any characters you wish to see be brought back to the present day comics or see them be included in fanfictions more? I also really like the idea of Dr. Sivana's children be brought back into the action more, especially Beautia, since she's actually a good person (from what I remember) and on good terms with the Captain

So it's taken me literally forever to answer this because every time I do I go down a mini research rabbit hole about older/unused characters because there are SO many that I would like to see more of.

My thoughts under the cut because it got long.

This isn't even everyone, but it's a lot of cool underutilized characters I'd love to see brought back.

Because of the number of characters, I'm splitting them into categories for ease of reading:

Civilians

Cissie Sommerly: Billy's girlfriend and the niece of his boss Sterling Morris (who also needs to used more tbh) She is a sweetheart who loves her little brother (Pete) and is very kind hearted. She didn’t get much development in the older comics, but she often had to deal with Billy and Cap’s shenanigans. I would love to see more of her!

The Sivana kids Beautia, Georgia, Thad Jr, and Magnificus: we recently got an adult Georgia in the New Champion of Shazam but I want to see the whole family together! And exploring their family dynamics with only half of them being supervillains would be so fun! They love each other but it's complicated. Georgia and Thad jr were basically parallels to Mary and Captain Marvel Jr and that was a fun balance. Meanwhile Beautia and Magnificus weren't really interested in their father's evil scheme though they gkt roped into them sometimes. And of course Beautia's crush on Captain Marvel causes problems but she's still awesome and even tutors Billy for school.

Sunny Sparkle: basically he was so universally beloved by everyone who met him that they just gave him things. Bank robbers would just hand him their stolen cash. Car jackers would give him the keys. He was gifted so much stuff every day that Billy had to help him donate and sell stuff regularly. In modern comics, I think it'd be cool if he was unknowingly a metahuman whose power was being hypnotically charming.

Freckles Marvel: she was Uncle Dudley's niece and despite not having powers, liked to tag along on adventures especially with Mary. She's a lot like Darla with her upbeat little sister energy. I can see them being friends in modern comics (or maybe even related since they both have the last name Dudley)

Dexter Knox: a child prodigy and inventor who was good friends with Billy. He's basically the smartest person in Fawcett and he loves showcasing his inventions to Billy.

Villains

Arson Fiend: an insurance salesman that uses extortion and threats of arson to meet his sales quota. He drinks a potion that gives him fire powers which he uses to commit arson against people who didn’t buy insurance from him. We've talked a bit about his connection to other Captain Marvel villains like Lady Blaze who healed him and gave him his powers back when he lost them. He's such a simply evil character that works really well for comics.

Chain Lightning: a teenager with multiple personalities and the power to control lightning. She has 4 personalities: Amy (the "main" alter), Amber (the more angry/volatile alter who protects the system), the Inner Child (no name besides that but encapsulates their child like wonder), and ID (the embodiment of their id, thus more impulsive than the others). She actually absorbs some of the Marvel’s magic lightning which allows her alters to temporarily have their own bodies. Amy is in love with Captain Marvel Jr because he saved her life, but the other alters are more wary of him, especially Amber. While any adaptation of Chain Lightning needs to be conscious of the ableism that happens when depicting a system, I think there's a lot of great potential with this character.

Sabina: she is technically from the Trials of Shazam not Fawcett comics, but I think she's cool. Basically she was raised by a cult called the Council of Merlin. She was destined to be 10th in line to receive the powers of Shazam so she starts killing those ahead of her in the order to ensure that once Billy was mo longer the Champion the powers would go to her. But when Billy was transitioning to become the Wizard he chose Freddy as his Champion, bypassing Sabina and the predestined order of things. So Sabina decides to kill Freddy AND the gods he was going to get his powers from. She's so evil and cool and I really like her design. I definitely think there's a way to bring her back.

Fawcett Heroes: there are a ton of fun characters that weren’t necessarily Captain Marvel characters but were part of the same world before he was a DC property.

Bulletman and Bulletgirl: literally Billy’s favorite superheros! He reads their comics and everything! They were very popular at the time, Whiz comics second most popular characters behind the Marvels. They are a husband and wife duo that gave themselves superpowers (strength, durability etc) which they use to fight crime, particularly supernatural villains.

Mr Scarlet and Pinky: Brian and Pinky Butler are a father-son vigilante duo. They were so good at their jobs that Brian barely had any work as a district attorney because of such low crime rates. They were basically a working class version of Batman and Robin. They're good friends with the Marvel family and when Mary got her first solo series, part of the advertising was having Pinky send her pen pal letters inviting her to have new adventures with him and the other Fawcett characters.

Ibis the Invincible: an Egyptian prince whose mummy was uncovered and brought back to life (by Shazam). He uses the Ibistick, an extremely powerful magical wand, to help people as he adjusts to modern life. He can do just about anything as long as he has his wand and often gets thrown in the middle of conflicts between gods.

Kid Eternity: aka Kit Freeman, Freddy’s long lost little brother with ghost powers! After dying in a boating accident when he wasn’t supposed to, he was brought back and given powers as compensation. He can summon spirits, turn invisible, and become intangible, though his powers shifted over time. He's such a cool character and he deserves more love!

Whew that was a lot! If anyone else has characters to add (and I know there are many) I would love to hear about it! And if any of these characters intrigue you I encourage you to check them out and sneak them into your fics!

[grimmbitty]

Something soft and sweet for the timeline 💗⚡️🌿

For those who don’t know the two characters I have in this drawing are my version of Billy and Samara as older teenagers. And they eventually become a couple! And they are cute, and soft, and pink!

Samara is an old Captain Marvel character that used to be known as Cissy Sommerly but, I changed her up a little bit. I changed her name so that way it fit into the naming scheme of everyone having matching initials, like Billy Batson, Freddy Freeman, Darla Dudley etc. etc. So now she’s Samara Sommerly! Yay! 🎉

She is the daughter of Sterling Silver, and heir to the throne of Whiz Radio, their family business.

Billy loves Samara’s spunky and sweet personality, mixed with her fierce determination towards her goals.

Samara loves Billy’s dry and sarcastic whit that blends with his strong values towards justice and family.

It’s a tale as old as time. But, their connection really starts when Whiz Radio is on the brink of going out of business. Samara is heartbroken because if Whiz Radio goes out of business, that means her and her family will have to move to a different city, and she will lose everything she’s ever known.

And then there’s Billy, a foster kid who grew up being moved house to house his whole life, who never really got the chance to plant his roots in a meaningful way in any community.

He empathizes with her panic about having to move to a new place and lose the comfort that was everything you once knew, and opens up to her about his childhood in the foster system.

Then, in an attempt to save Whiz Radio, Samara sparks a plan to make a radio show on the new hero Captain Marvel/Shazam as a way to get more listeners and save her family from bankruptcy.

Billy wants to help Samara save Whiz Radio and keep Samara in Fawcett City, so he offers to co-host with her on her new radio show and this is the catalyst for their close bond.

Note: She is unaware of Billy’s alternate identity as the hero Shazam however, Billy takes opportunities whenever he can to help her with her radio show as both Captain Marvel/Shazam and Billy cause’ he cares about her and wants her to stay in Fawcett City.

A quick over view of the different love interests of Billy Batson/Captain marvel from 1939 - 2022

Cissie Sommerly

Cissie was the neice of Billys boss at whiz radio, Mr Morris. Billy had a crush on her from the moment he was introduced to her and they seemed to have started dating pretty soon after that but I can't find much information about her.  

Beautia Sivana

keep in mind that In the golden age Captain marvel and billy were two different people. 

Less of a love interest and more of one sided attraction on Beautia’s part. the daughter of Dr Sivanna was infatuated with Captain Marvel. This never really goes anywhere but it is implied that Cap may also have developed feelings for her but that plot line is then dropped and left unresolved. 

Its also worth mentioning that Golden age Captain Marvel is repeatedly shown to be very nervous around women

Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl

Probably Billy’s most well known love interest, They began their relationship in the Justice Society of America after Courtney discovered his identity, though it was short lived as billy broke up with her in JSA#59 after Jay Garrick asked him to stop seeing her because of their perceived age difference. Billy chose to break it off with Courtney rather than reveal his identity to the rest of the justice society. 

Danica Williams

Danica is the Flash of the future and is able to communicate with pervious flashes through the speed force. 

Danica alludes to having a Crush on Shazam multiple times throughout the series. And it appears that Billy feels the same way, after Danica confesses to him they begin a relationship. Although it only ever occurs in Justice league beyond 2.0 as far as I can tell. 

(yes she confessed to him in front of aqua mans dead body)

This comic is set in the same universe as batman Beyond and Billys age is a bit unclear but they're both supposed to be in their late teens in this I think. 

more under the cut

Delila Curtis

Due to Cupids interference Captain Marvel fell involve with Billys new boss at Whiz Radio. Unfortunately for him she’s married and that ends the story as well as Caps crush. 

But it seems as though she wasn’t a very good boss because Billy outwardly doesn’t like her and describes her as bossy and sharp-tongued. Cap refuses to believe that Billys mean boss is the same woman he that he loves so he just assumes that they’re sisters. 

Helen Fidelity

Not a love interest but I wanted to include her. 

In Shazam! The monster society of Evil, Billy and Captain Marvel are once again two separate entities and within the story They encounter a news reporter that billy has a puppy love crush on. She on the other hand is annoyed by his existence, and in a weird twist of fate she is attracted to captain marvel who is entirely indifferent to her. 

Hope McDuffy

In Strange Love Adventures Billy is invited to Hope’s mothers wedding and because he likes her he asks Clark Kent to help him get ready and attend the wedding with him posing as his uncle. The wedding gets crashed by Hopes mothers ex and Shazam and Superman save the day but the wedding is unfortunately ruined. Billy makes it up to her though and gives her a necklace.

P.S. Yes I see the black man and the Chinese man, this was made in a different time

Looking for Billy Batson fic that doesn’t involve Batman

Anyone know of any good Billy Batson-centric fic that doesn’t involve Batman?  Not too fond of N52 Billy, but preboot Billy or YJ Billy or reboot/origin-fic is cool.  Ones either with his homelessness (meeting Dudley, if you like that route) or with his friendships with Freddy and Mary or where he’s dating Courney Whitmore or Cissie Sommerly. Or just trying to balance being a kid and a hero. Hanging out with the Justice League is great, as long as Batman isn’t the JLer featured.  Just not Bat-stories.  I like the Bats, read plenty of Bat-fiction. But I want Captain Marvel fic for this, not Batfic.

[that-theaven]

While I have been going through the history of Shazam I discovered Billy Batson had a love intrest back in the Fawcett comics days so I had the idea of said girl Cissy Sommerly having a rivalry with Stargirl (whom Billy Dated in JSA)

[cerealboxlore]

I come to you with another WIP fic idea for our favorite Billy Batson

So. Y'all know Billy Batson, adorable, Sassy, homeless, secret champion of magic who can transform into an adult at any time. Respected member of the Justice League. Right? Think of him as a ten year old, been Captain Marvel for almost two years, is on top of his game! Well, he was, until a fight against Oggar, the wizard’s former disciple/apprentice rendered him without his divine magical powers, forcing him to transform back into his mortal form as Billy Batson--right in front of the Justice League! Oh no--

Thus, chaos ensued. Whilst Oggar disappeared from the battle with a cackling laughter, Billy struggled to transform back into Captain Marvel, feeling powerless and so vulnerable against the wide eyes of his co-workers who were feeling a mixed range of emotions from the reveal. Surprise. Anger. Betrayal. Silence. No one said anything for a clear minute. A full long minute where the only sounds came from Billy shouting the name of Shazam into the heavens and hells to conjure up any spark of magic he could muster. Billy's voice grew hoarse and rough, dry to the point he was losing his breath fast from how hard he was breathing, losing control of himself under all the stress. Finally, a hand is placed on his shoulder.

Batman's hand.

An emergency meeting is held back at the watch tower immediately. Not only is the subject of Oggar brought up and what he has planned, but primarily, Captain Marvel's true identity as Billy Batson. A ten year old who managed to infiltrate the ranks of the Justice League without anyone knowing.

Well. Batman knew. Of course Batman knew, he's BATMAN! But everyone else...Billy couldn't forget what they were yelling to him even if he tried.

"Irresponsible!"

"Idiotic!"

"Liar!"

"You betrayed our trust."

"Do you know how much danger you put yourself in, young man?!"

"Do you realize you could have died?! What were you thinking trying to play hero?"

Everything everyone said had stuck with him so harshly, Billy had to hold himself back from the river of tears threatening to come rolling down his face. He had a long day, a long, horrible fight against someone from the wizard's personal past, lost his powers, and now he was being interrogated by the Justice League. By his heroes.

Needless to say, the meeting ran on for much longer. They knew everything now, and Billy's status as a JL member was immediately put into suspension for the time being.

When the meeting was over, Billy didn't know what to do anymore. He couldn't summon his form as the Champion of Magic anymore, his identity was shown to his idols without his permission, but also, Oggar got away. Oggar, the Wizard's own former apprentice, had continued to betray the man even after his death. Oh, he'd pay for this.

A month had passed and Captain Marvel was still absent, forcing Fawcett City to endure countless attacks and hits by super villains without Billy being able to protect it. Luckily and fortunately, the JL would step in to help protect Faecett city in the meantime, while Billy tried to figure out how to gain back his powers. He was able to get into the RoE thanks to Tawky Tawny, but the wizard's ghost was gone. With little to no help, Billy was looking more glum than ever before.

Still, with Halloween coming up, Billy's classmate and friend, Cissie Sommerly, tried to help cheer him up with a Halloween trick of treating date. Something nice for the two of them to enjoy while the chaos of everything was put in the background for a little while. Billy agreed, thinking it would be nice to clear his head for one night, and to enjoy some free candy!

However, before Halloween night, Billy uncovers a plot by Oggar accidentally, discovering that Oggar plans to use the concentrated dark magic of Halloween night to make himself the new wizard of the realm, plunging the world into eternal damnation and a new era of darkness.

Clutching his fists, Billy Batson knows what he has to do. At first he thinks of calling the Justice League, but thinking about it more, he knows they'd never let him help with how he is now. "You're just Billy Batson now. You're nothing without the powers of Captain Marvel...if he was ever real at all..."

Remembering this, Billy tucks his JL communicator away, and forms a plan. A Halloween heist for the ages to steal back his powers and enforce justice onto an old man too crusty dusty for this world.

With the help of Tawny, Cissie, Freddy, and Steve the magic pen, Billy will earn his spot back as a member of the Justice League by the end of Halloween night, proving that Billy Batson has always been a hero, and that he doesn't need powers to be Captain Marvel.

Join Billy in,

"Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader?"

A fic I'm currently working on right now (among a mountain of others, haha) Tell me what y'all think of this idea!

[kenandeliza]

A Marvel Family What-If : What If They grow up normally?

If the suspendium event and the rest of the shazam 1970s comic series didn't happen, i wondered what the future would be for the golden age Marvel Family

Billy: Mr Morris would probably hand over Whiz station to Billy, so he'd be the new owner of the station. Happily married to Cissie Sommerly

Mary: based on my previous headcanon on her being a fashion model (because i kept seeing mary being used as a model for back to school advertisements or clothing advertisements in fawcett comics), I'd like to think she'd own a Fashion magazine brand or continued the Shazam.inc business after Uncle Dudley's passing

Freddy: He'd probably open a comic book shop. In future days where he is in his 70s-80s, he'd write comics based on his previous diary entries of his adventures with the marvel family with a fake pen-name, as the newer generation are not familliar about the family and thinks of his comics as fictional

Kit: He tries to spend as much time with his brother after revealing himself accidentally, going out everyday to fish in a boat or to admire nature. It was a bit sad seeing everyone grow old as he stays the same, but it saddens him even more when Freddy started forgetting past events in his older years, it was why he would often read Freddy's diary back to him

Tawky Tawny: Tawny had a pretty long and famous life, still relaxing with the marvel family, being a businessman, a hollywood actor once. He was incredibly famous that they tried to make a documentary on his life! Sadly, there weren't any young tigers who could talk and walk like him to play the role as Tawny (let alone a tiger who wouldn't maul the camera crew), so they used CGI despite Tawny's complaint about the tiger being uncanny

idk, it's just these headcanon that popped into my head if the family grow up normally without the events of the 1970s shazam continuing the golden age, sorry if thid had reached some light-angsty territory (i know my angst writing is bad, forgive me for the cringe :>

Friends of the Shazam Family by Pat Broderick & others

[grimmbitty]

Okay kind of a different post than my normal stuff but I did just want to put all of these in one place. These are my character analysis slides that I’ve been working on!

Breaking down the character of Billy Batson has been so fun for me, and its by far my favorite part of the writing process. So here’s what I have so far for my interpretation of the character.

Here is my first slide where I breakdown the basic overview of my story. Just outlining the basic plot summary, the story’s themes, and the basic character arc for Billy.

As you can see it’s very similar to the first movie I’ve just modified some things here and there to add my own fun twist to Billy’s origin story.

[ MORE SLIDES BELOW ]

In this slide is where I breakdown Billy’s passive motivation, something I see that is necessary for all superhero characters. Similar to Spider-Man’s “power and responsibility” thing, and similar to how Batman protects and values all life because his life was forever changed by a random act of violence.

I think Billy’s passive motivation to do good is really, deeply rooted in the injustice that he witnesses throughout his childhood. He’s especially receptive to the problems of children and other vulnerable groups because as a member of those communities, he knows they get overlooked often.

This next slide is my character breakdowns. This shows my main character and all my important side characters. They each have a lesson they inadvertently teach Billy, helping him along his path to become a good hero.

They each play a role on the team, giving them fun dynamics. This allows them all to have distinct personalities allowing for fun dialogue, banter, and character moments.

The only character you might not know on this list is Samara. She is my version of the character Cissie Sommerly. Cissie is a classic Captain Marvel character who’s most recent comic book appearance was 1978. Woof. So I thought it would be a fun idea to modernize her and bring her back into the spotlight, serving as a glimpse into the average Fawcett citizen’s reaction to the new hero, Shazam.

This next slide is a closer look into Billy’s character flaws. Showing how at first he is hesitant to being a brother and being a hero. It kinda explains the mistakes he makes at first that he has to learn to overcome, and shows how his introspection will help him accept his roles as both a brother, and a hero.

Next we have something that if I could add to the 2019 film, I would. I love love love the 2019 version of Shazam but if I could add a little more expansion of Billy’s mother into the plot, I would.

I think is really important to the core of the character. This next slide I like to call “The Dark Reflection”.

I think that upon meeting his mother, Billy realizes that they are scarily similar. That she was also selfish, careless, and only interested in meeting her own needs. This lack of compassion and responsibility from her are the reasons she ended up abandoning Billy, leaving him in the foster system once she was released from prison and having zero interest in raising him.

Billy sees the mistakes she’s made in life and realizes that he is making the same ones, prioritizing his own wants/needs over anything else, and being just overall emotionally detached.

This scares him into re-evaluating his own behavior and consciously choosing to become more compassionate for others and foster a real sense of responsibility to use his powers wisely.

Next up, we have what I like to call “The Pillars of Character”. These are the three main “pillars” I see that are most prevalent in Billy’s story.

It’s important to me that all three of these pillars intertwine with each other, hence why I wanted to explore a little more about Billy’s mother. Adding a little more flavor text to why she is Billy’s dark reflection really helped me keep a balance between these three aspects of his character.

I also just think having all three pillars effect each other keeps a nice balance between all the aspects of his character. Showing how his character flaws effect different parts of his life and how Billy learns to grow and change for the better.

In summary, this is what I have for Billy’s character breakdown, showing his character arc for his origin story and how he learns to grow into a hero. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed because I had a fun time making this! I also have a lot more to share like individual character sheets for Billy and all my side characters, Three act story structure break downs, and other stuff too. So if you like this one maybe possibly I could do a part 2 soon.

Okay byeeeee!! ⚡️💕
