#Wizard Shazam

[wonderjanga]

The Wizard

Marvel gets smacked so hard he thinks he’s Shazam. That’s it.

Superman: *helps Marvel up* “Oh my Rao, are you okay??”

Marvel: *confused as to who the man in blue is* “Yes, I am fine.” *brushes himself off and sees a giant space ship in the sky* “What in the world is that?”

Supes: “It’s the ship?”

Marvel: “What ship?”

Supes: “The ship that’s invading us- you know the drill. Aliens come to earth, and we take them out. Marvel are you okay?

Marvel: “I already said I am fine, and my name isn’t Marvel, I am Sha-”

*they get shot at by the ship*

Marvel: “Never mind. Let me take care of this.”

Supes: “Wait, Cap!”

Marvel: *proceeds to ram himself into the ship leaving a Cap sized hole*

Said ship proceeded to start falling on the city below. The heroes then immediately rushed to try and stop it from landing on the city.

And before anyone says this is out of character, this is young, kinda old, but still young Shazam. This man was a shepherd. From like 9000 years ago. This man prayed to the Gods so hard they were like, “here, take these powers. Go nuts, freaky bro.” To which he then went on to murder all the people who murdered his family. He could’ve been unhinged because I don’t think you understand how much hatred that man must’ve put into his prayers for the gods to notice him.

Back at the Watchtower…

GL: You were a shepherd? Like a dude that herds sheep type of shepherd?”

Marvel: “Yes.”

WW: “How does one go from herding sheep to being a super hero?”

Marvel: “A gang of thieves killed my family. So I prayed, and the gods blessed me, princess.”

WW: “Oh… I apologize-

Marvel: “Then killed off the bandits.”

GL: *chokes on spit and coughs a lot* “What?”

Marvel: “I hunted them down and killed them all.”

WW and GL: *share a concerned look before looking back at Marvel*

WW: “We were all under the impression that you refrained from killing anyone. Regardless of whether or not they were a bad person.”

Marvel: “What made you think that? In this strange future, have I stopped?”

GL: “As far as we know!”

Then there was the inevitable time Shazam had enough of being called Cap, or a Marvel, or even worse Captain Marvel.

Marvel: “Why do you all keep calling me that?”

Supes: “No offense, but you’ve… Never really told us your name.”

Marvel: “I haven’t? Do I not trust you? Aren’t you all my future comrades?”

Supes: “We are! We’ve known you for four, almost five years. It’s just, whenever we ask, you kind of just shut down.”

Marvel: “Really? Then I might as well get it out of the way. My name is Shazam.” *gets lightninged into little billy and sees how little he is* “WHAT IN THE GODS NAMES?”

scrapped Wizard and Billy idea that never got out of story boards

FOREVER YOUNG I WANT TO BE FOREVER YOUNG

[cosmicmordecai]

You know, for all the talk about the importance and coolness of adoption and found families, y’all sure love to sleep on the Shazam Family and relatives they got. I mean for real.

You got the Wizard Shazam/Mamaragan (let’s get some diversity in this bitch)

Then you have his found siblings:

His edgy bio demon children:

Another edgy kid he picked up (he’s actually called the “Son of Mamaragan”):

That edgy kid’s (second) family:

Edgy kid’s descendant:

Another kid (DC writers have stated they have a father son relationship so bite me);

That same kid’s legal, foster parents (I’m tired of y’all forgetting Victor/Rosa and their existence for Superman, Batman, Constantine, etc. Also Billy can have more than 2 parental figures)

And the Vanquez’s foster family

You got a very unique approach and connections with many characters to mess around, headcanon, play with, etc.

But like 98% of the time, people just wanna make Billy significant to Superman or Batman (because putting him with more black hair, blue eye kids that get treated interchangeably is smart) and Mary to the “Wonder Family” like they don’t got a family of their own.

Shazam! The Monster Society of Evil #1  (2007)

Long live the queen!

You know, it confused me at first why Black Adam would even bother seeing Mamaragan as a father figure in any capacity if he was grown as hell by the time he met him.

But then it occurred to me Teth was likely MUCH younger than I thought. He could of been a teenager/young adult (18-19) when he became a Champion alongside his nephew shortly before killing him. And in the time he served Mamaragan, he saw him like a father figure he later wanted to kill.

I can only imagine young ass Teth with the personality comparable to Billy pointing 👆🏽at this guy while talking to people and saying “This is my dad”.

[waezi2]

So... Black Adam in space...

So, the Wizard, realizing that Adam had been corrupted by power, couldn’t remove his powers and therefor banished him to the farthest star in the universe.

Adam spent 5000 years flying back to Earth to get revenge. ...

Anyone else finds it funny to think of Adam flying through space for thousands of years while being royally pissed  and looking for his planet? XD

Imagine you are an alien in your spaceship, just minding your own business as you fly through space.

And then a very angry dude flies up to you and demand that you tell him where to find Egypt. And you are scared shitless and have no idea what the fuck an “Egypt” is XD

The sheer, barely restrained anger in those panels.

“Who did this to you?”

when its just a little angry kid who needs help :(  Superman/Shazam!: First Thunder (2005—2006)

Happy 59 Birthday to Djimon Hounsou.

It’s cool seeing various parts of fandom want Billy’s “Champion of Magic” direction to be explored but that would require people to think of Billy beyond being a “whimsical 10 year old whose a good boi”.

It would also mean stop ignoring & projecting negative inferences on his PoC mentor, put some focus on his supporting cast, and consider the canonical responsibilities in how it doesn’t intrude on other people’s stations because he isn’t the purveyor over ALL Magic but those connected to the Rock of Eternity ( That gives him 6 unique dimensions while respecting the current Doctor Fate’s Egyptian/Muslim derived ties, Vixen’s African ties, Aquaman’s ties to various other mythologies, etc.).

Being Your Parents to School Day

Billy doesn’t know what to do for Bring Your Parent to School day. See, you’re supposed to bring a parent or parents and apparently you would get to decorate cookies with them, but uh… Billy doesn’t have parents. And he really wants some free cookies too. So, he ended up bringing the two next best things.

Teacher: “Oh? Billy these are your parents?”

Billy: *holding Tawny’s hand while the ghost of the Wizard is somehow floating beside him* “No, Tawny’s kinda my uncle, and Mr. Wizard Sir is kinda like a grandpa.”

Teacher: *not even fazed cause ✨Fawcett✨* “I see! Well, have fun you guys!”

The pair that came after them was a little girl and her dad who had the head of a fish. It’s safe to say weird parents/kids/family genealogy is normal.

Billy and Tawny: *frosting their cookies*

Wizard: *just floating there* “I can’t pick anything up to frost.” *sulking on the inside*

Billy: “Eh, that’s fine. Maybe I can extract the ghost of a cookie and you can eat it!”

Wizard: “Uh… You know what? I’d love for you to do that Billy.” *tries to pat his head only for his hand to go through*

Billy: *shivers* “Brain freeze!”

Wizard: “Ah my apologies, Billy.”

Ghost Granny: *floats over to them* “Amazing, I’ve never met another ghost around my age.”

Wizard: “Yes… your age.” *is older than this woman by thousands of years*

Ghost Granny: “Not being able to touch things is a real pain, isn’t it?”

Wizard: *old man sigh* “Indeed.”

So, while the Wizard was chatting it up with the Granny, Billy and Tawny were still frosting cookies.

Billy: *looks over to Tawny to see beautiful works of frosted art* “Woah! Tawny you’re good at this.”

Tawny: “Thank you, Billy.” *looks over to Billy’s cookies* “Is that… tiger fur?” *points to one of the cookies that has a bit of tiger fur clinging to its frosting*

Billy: “Ew… it is.” *picks it out of the frosting*

Tawny: “Billy, you’re not even the tiger in this situation. How’d that get there?”

Billy: “I dunno.” *shrugs and sets aside the cookie he was frosting in the ‘For Mr Wizard Sir’ pile*

Wizard: *floats back over* “Billy, are those for me?”

Billy: “Yup!”

Wizard: *staring at his pile touched because there’s like seven cookies in the pile and maybe more to come*

Billy: “Did you need something, Mr Wizard Sir?”

Wizard: “Ah.” *clears throat* “Yes. Billy, I was wondering if I had permission to gloat about you to Ms Gertrude and her other ghostly friends.”

Billy: “Huh…?”

Wizard: “They seemed to make it a competition to talk about which of their grandchildren are the best and I want to make sure you’re the winner.”

Billy: “Oh.” *blinks rapidly* “Okay!” *smiles*

Wizard: “Thank you.” *tries to pat his head again only for his hand to go through once more*

Billy: *shivers like earlier* “Brain freeze!”

The funniest thing about Captain Marvel’s powers is that he can always, in every situation where he does something weird or suspicious, claim “a wizard did it”. And not only can the League not argue with this for lack of proof, but something like 70% of the time, a wizard actually literally did this. This guy has to deal with The Wizard who will just randomly magic at him and nobody can stop him.
