Marvel’s weird relationship with magic

As the champion of magic, Billy should be okay with most magic. He is! Really, but magic users are something else.

Most magic users don’t even know his face as marvel. So, it’s funny to see the magic users of the JLD prank him or joke with him. It’s also funny that John will shit talk the champion to Marvel’s face.

Captain marvel’s file does say that he can use magic, but he never does it in front of the league.

When he does use his magic it really surprising. He used it to teleport to the watch tower for a meeting right after a battle with Black Adam. Marvel was disheveled. His normally perfect hair was a mess, he had pieces of concrete everywhere and soot all over his face + costume.

The league was of course spooked as he appears unannounced. The usual alarms for magic teleportation didn’t ring. It was like he was always there. Of course after the meeting Batman questioned (interrogated) Captain Marvel on how he was able to bypass the alarms when Zatanna couldn’t. With the help of Solomon, Billy told Bats that his magic was much to old to be recognized as anything other then natural universe working.

Which lead to even more questions a lot that have no answer, answers and a mini freak out from magic users from the old and very powerful magic that was put of display.

The DamiBilly worms have gotten to me

Damian noticed something odd happening in a warehouse on the outskirts of Gotham, and it was his solo night out, so he decided why not

When Damian approached the warehouse he immediately noticed some strange energy in the air around it

Something, ancient

Damian slowly opened the doors of the building and was met with a rather unusual sight even for Gotham standards

There was an elaborate summoning circle on the ground drawn with chalk and a really old looking magic book laying on the ground next to it

But the most interesting was the boy, around Damian's age, standing over the circle with an open jar in his hands

The boy took Damian's breath away, his black hair curled at the ends framing his face just perfectly and his bright blue eyes seemed to just glowing, and staring at him in pure annoyance

"do you mind? I'm in the middle of something"

Billy was in the middle of summoning one of the most powerfull faires in that dimension in order to gather her fairy dust for a spell he wants to do

And he was not gonna be interrupted by a Gotham vigilante

O MY GODS! THESE COMMENTS!

I CAN'T BREATHEEEE!!!

The Devil’s Temptations

The Devil’s Temptations: Smoking, Drinking, and Rock and Roll. Or at least, that’s what the pastor told Billy once when the man gave him ten bucks for food. The man lets him clean up the chapel seats every other Sunday for money. During Christmases, he decides to be more generous and give Billy twenties. You see, Billy has an interesting relationship with all three of the things. The relationships would no doubt disappoint the pastor. Though, two out of the three are simply to make himself seem more adult as Marvel, while one of them is simply because Freddy likes Elvis.

Like the smoking, it’s something adults do. Billy himself would never ever ever try it. (besides that one time he tried a cotton candy, watermelon, peach, strawberry, coconut vape and immediately ended up vomiting what little food he had eaten that day) But! Marvel’s an adult. And last he heard, you had to be like twenty something to get cigarettes. That’s what Mary told him anyways. So, every now and then, he’ll try to drop stealthy little hints that he smokes whenever Solomon suggests it.

One of these instances was when league ended up having to fight this ginormous octopus that was nearly as big as Metropolis. The battle ended with the monster exploding. Every league member on duty was covered in monster guts, blood, and juices. Including Billy. Like actually. Everything in the area was stained purple from head to toe. As for why the octopus monster’s blood was purple? None of them had a single clue. They proceeded to stand in silence as the liquid dripped off of them and onto the ground, which was also purple.

Solomon: NOW BILLY! SAY IT.

Marvel: *drags hand down face to wipe off all the gunk and takes a deep sigh* “I need a cigarette.”

Other Leaguers: *slowly look to Marvel*

Marvel: *already heading to the nearest Zeta Location*

By the way, he stole this phrase from a prostitute friend of Ms.Bambi who got caught and soaked in the rain while working the corner. Let’s also say it’s Ms.Foxy from my Marvel Pranks Hal post. (In that post, she’s still a prostitute, and if you want to know what she has to do with pranking Hal… Billy’s a little, a lot unhinged in that post)

//mini flashback//

Billy: *jogging through the hallway*

Ms.Foxy and Ms.Bambi: *talking*

Ms.Foxy: “I need a damn cigarette.”

Billy: “Hi, Ms.Bambi! Hi, Ms.Foxy!” *waves as he passes by them*

//end of mini flashback//

The two had no idea the child heard.

After this incident, Aquaman invited him for whiskey and cigars with a couple other heroes. They ended up playing poker, in which Billy basically ended up robbing them blind. Poker Nights with the Lords of different Hells really pays off. Also, a hero snuck a picture of him as Marvel, dressed in civvies with a cigar in between his teeth while holding some cards. Anyone who saw this didn’t know whether to be surprised that Marvel smokes cigars, or that he can play poker.

Aquaman: “How long have you smoked?”

Marvel: “Uh…”

Solomon: “TWELVE YEARS, BOY!”

Marvel: “Twelve years.”

Aquaman: “Damn, and you have the voice of an angel. I don’t hear the slightest bit of grit. How do you do it?”

Marvel: “The uh- smoke doesn’t harm me.”

Aquaman: “Ooooooh.”

Then, there’s Billy’s relationship with drinking. Now, you see, he’s never personally been a fan of drinking. Many of his foster parents did, but surprisingly, the few parents that were heavy drinkers had their moods tempered down. You’d think it’d make it worse. So, if anything, Billy has an okay relationship with it. He doesn’t like it because of the bad memories it brings, but it itself wasn’t what caused those memories.

Though, nowadays, he has better memories of drinking. It reminds him of the others dragging him to bars and having fun and all that. Now, he doesn’t really go with them often, considering the fact it’s kind of illegal, but he’ll go every now and then and come back with a smile. He loves the frozen daiquiris. They’re basically just slushes with a zing. Even then, it’s not like he can get drunk in his Marvel form.

GL: *tipsy* “Dude, why do you keep ordering daiquiris?”

Marvel: “They’re delicious. Want some?” *offers his drink*

GL: *sips from Marvel’s straw* “Stop, these are actually really good.”

Marvel: “I know, right?” *takes his straw out, places it on a napkin, asks Dinah for hand sanitizer (idk she seems like the type to carry a little bottle in her purse), then proceeds to squirt a giant glob over the part of the straw Hal sipped from*

GL: *doesn’t notice and orders a daiquiri for himself*

By the way, every single person is rightfully horrified when they found out Billy is a kid.

Aquaman: *thousand yard stare as he remembers the times he’s drank and smoked with Marvel*

Flash: *absolutely horrified with his jaw dropped so far down it looks dislocated because he remembered he invited Marvel to his bachelor party*

Superman: *same expression as Flash as he remembered all the times they sent Marvel to fight him whenever he got mind controlled*

GL: *sweating as he remembers the times he’s tried to invite Marvel to clubs* (That was an automatic hell no for Billy. He might try to act more like an adult but he is absolutely never stepping foot into a club.)

Batman: *eyes slowly moving to side eye everyone mentioned above*

Wonder Woman: *more puzzled than anything because she thought of Cap as a big brother. Is wondering if that means he’s now her little one*

Martian Manhunter: *surprised because he expected Marvel to be a hundred thousand year old immortal being or something*

barry is like that fun uncle for billy... do you see my vision?

Been thinking about Magical Girl Shazam recently

Too many fics where Billy gets adopted by Batman, not enough where Billy avoids him in and out of costume because he doesn’t like his vibe…

Shovel Talk

"Dani," Danny started slowly, "can you tell me why I'm in an ectoranium cage?"

"Because I need to tell you something," she said slowly, "and I need you to not freak out. Do you promise not to freak out?"

"I promise to react accordingly."

Dani sighed, that was probably as good as it was gonna get, "Ok, when you joined the League, Batman gave you a tablet with critical information on the members, right?"

"I remember that. Why?"

"Did you actually read it?"

No.

"Yes."

"Really?" she was understandably skeptical, "All of it?"

"Yes. Now what is this about?"

"Even Captain Marvel's?"

Danny narrowed his eyes at his thirteen/two-year-old sister, "Why, specifically, Captain Marvel?"

"...Because we're dating."

The effect was immediate. The ground froze, the crown appeared above his head, and he suddenly transformed into his full regalia. If Dani hadn't gotten a cage that was specifically made to hold the power of King Phantom, her boyfriend would already be a smear on the ground.

"I knew you hadn't read it!"

"WHERE IS HE!?" he roared, slamming his entire body against the cage, "WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HIM-!"

"Danny, chill dammit!" she snapped, "I can't explain if you go all Lovecraftian on me!"

He looked down sharply, eyes softening.

"Dani, I don't care what he told you. That bastard is at least 30."

"Yeah, OK, that's how I know you didn't read it," she sighed, "Billy, you can come in now."

That's when the bastard himself came in, floating down from the basement entrance.

"Hey, Phantom," he greeted awkwardly, "I uh, I see you didn't read my file... would have been a lot easier if you had."

Danny saw red as he felt his hands grow into talons and his body swelled in an attempt to break through the enchanted cage.

"Marvel, you motherfucker, mark my words. I swear upon my Crown and Name that I will-."

Captain Marvel recognized a curse when he heard it and wanted no part of it.

"SHAZAM!"

"-tear your soooooouuuwhaaaaat the fuuuuuck?"

Danny practically shriveled down to his human form like a deflating balloon.

Where Captain Marvel had floated a second ago, now stood a fifteen-year-old boy, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.

"Danny, this is Billy Batson... my boyfriend... please don't kill him."

"Hey, Phantom," he greeted, sounding so similar yet so different from his alter ego, "wanna read that file now?... Please?"

"I- Dani? Explanation? Please? My brain's melting."

"OK, so I first met Billy a little over a year ago," she started, "he was homeless too so we camped together for a while in this abandoned building. He's the one that taught me how to survive at first. Then this whole thing with an evil caterpillar happened, so we split up because we both wanted to transform. I showed up in my ghost form and he showed up as Captain Marvel. We fought the caterpillar, but he got me with some sort of demon magic. Billy beat him and took me back to our camp."

"Wait, how'd you figure out it was her?" asked Danny.

"My other form has a few more senses," he summarized, "I could tell she had the same soul. After that, we kept working together for a while... sort of."

"He didn't tell me he was Captain Marvel for a month," Dani explained with a displeased look, "I was reduced to a sidekick the whole time. It was humiliating."

"Anywho, I told her when we decided to go steady," finished Billy, before hastily adding, "in- in this form. I didn't hit on her as Captain Marvel, before you ask."

"If you had and she'd agreed, I'd have taken Dani to therapy for... I don't even know what," groaned Danny, "can you let me out now? I promise not to rip his soul out."

Dani nodded and cut a strand of her hair that she'd put on the lock, ending the seal she'd placed with her own name and title.

"Wait, if it's in your file, that means Batman and Superman know," realized Danny as he walked out, "and they let you join the League? They gave me guff for being seventeen!"

"Oh, they were not happy when they found out," recalled Billy with a humorless laugh, "Superman flew all the way to the Rock of Eternity to chew out the Wizard. I thought he was gonna go postal."

"...and?"

"And he's been training me ever since. I'm not homeless anymore, if that's what you're wondering."

"Ok, I guess that's good," he sighed, "is this really the best way you decided to do this?"

"Huh?" Dani tilted her head in confusion.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you introduced him as Billy and THEN told me he's Captain Marvel?"

Both of them gave him a blank look, before facepalming in sync. That was a much better idea.

"OK, in my defense, my brain comes from you. So this is kinda your fault in a way."

Billy gave her a look, "What does that mean?"

"Oh, I'm a clone. I didn't tell you that?"

"Really? Neat."

"She's two years old," Danny deadpanned, "so you're still technically too old for her."

Dani gave him a look, "'Cuz, if Megan and Connor are dating, I think we're good."

"...That's fair."

wouldn't it be so funny if, since canonically in the fawcett comics era, captain marvel was proclaimed the smartest man in the world due to his wisdom of solomon + his intellect was supposed to match his strength and might and being the mightiest mortal and all ...

what if captain marvel was a bit forgetful and whimsy, people just assumed he's (mostly) brawn rather than brain instead of him actually having both brain and brawn, and genuinely surprised themselves when they hear captain marvel say some actual smart stuff

like. Really. really smart stuff

because highkey they all kinda forgot captain marvel is basically a cheat code for everything hero related,,, and everything NON-hero related

like, batman could ask ".. How do you even know that." or "How did you know that was the right choice?"

and captain marvel would shrug, "I just knew it"

THIS CAN ALSO GO FOR OTHER STUFF TOO !!! since it's not only linked to intelligence and wisdom, but abilities and actions too! dead languages! actual alive and real languages! plus also CREATING MARVELIUM THE STRONGEST METAL IN THE UNIVERSE !!! solving the excess of oxygen in the atmosphere and literally solving sivana's equations for INTAGIBILITY SO HE COULD WALK THROUGH WALLS??? HELLO??? HE'S ALSO GREAT IN MATHEMATICS AND SCIENCE???

literally. SO much information and experience is tucked into marvel's head like it's the goddamn wikipedia page it's CRAZY and they DONT EVEN UTILISE this fact that he's genuinely so smart in the newer comics,,,

siiighhhh i love you golden age captain marvel ..,,, youre so awesome and overpowered youre amazing

[crystal-clear-contemplations]

one thing about DC is they LOVE characters with black hair and blue eyes, I'd say they make up about 90% of their characters

(or at least they make up a majority of their most prominent characters)

PEAK ART HOLY SHIT

Billy escaping experimentation. Wanted to draw it based of a AU in my head where he is taken on by the government to find out more secrets from the gods. Wish I had my computer to write it.

[colossrat]

Marvel and Junior making sibling shit:

Superman: Marvel, don't you think you're a little immature with Junior? That's no way to raise a son!

Marvel: What? He's not my son. He's my brother. What? Is that why you and the League are always judging us? Look, I don't have any children.

Superman: what-- Is Mary your sister too?

Marvel: Yes? They all are

Batman, who was eavesdropping on their conversation: They seem pretty young compared to you, Captain. And they haven't been in the hero scene with you since the beginning. Where did they come from?

Marvel: Definitely not from me

Marvel: Look, yeah, I know. I used to work alone, but… it's hard for most of them. They still live with their foster parents, different families and all that, even though I'm sure they all do it just for the money, anyway, these families are stable, but they're not loving…

Marvel: I started letting them come with me to superhero stuff so they wouldn't be alone all the time and also so they could stay in touch with each other, since the system has divided them across the state. God knows the system doesn't care if they separate these kids, whether they're blood-related or not

Now, of course, Batman and Superman gossip about this, and everyone thinks Marvel was raised in the system, and he, as the oldest, takes care of the little ones in orphanages or foster homes. He eventually outgrew it, but he keeps in touch with them because he still sees them as family and cares

And now, each of his siblings is being raised in different foster homes, and he lets them stay close so they can see their brothers and sisters

Which makes sense because, really, Marvel takes them on very simple missions, nothing lethal or world-ending, no, no. It's just an excuse for them to be a family and do things together

One day, Flash asks why Marvel doesn't try to adopt them

Marvel: I know what I look like normally, but… I'm not exactly the profile of a father for the system. They wouldn't let them come with me. I barely make ends meet with the money I have, and even with help of the government, I don't think I could support five kids in my tiny studio apartment

Now the league also thinks Cap is BROKE, which he is, the broke little Cinderella, living inside a sardine can

Red Hood hears these thoughts and is like, "I need to meet this guy, he looks like a badass."

The League also slowly realizes that Cap is probably a mask, since he acts so differently around his brothers and sisters, and also because the system apparently doesn't consider him suitable??? Money is a problem, okay, but could this also mean that Cap in civilian life isn't a goody two shoes who reeks of good deeds?

One day, Darla needed an adult to go to an exhibition. Her foster parents agreed and signed the waiver but wouldn't go with her, so Billy disguises himself as Cap to pretend to be her adult guardian

Shit happens, a villain appears, and so does the League. The disguised Cap pales as he and the League are in the middle of a stare contest because whaaaaa

This guy in worn jeans, dirty work shoes, and an oversized, worn-out red jacket that smells of cigarettes and oil is IDENTICAL to Captain Marvel, who just happened to have the day off today

And who's that little girl he's holding by the armpits? Whom he slowly lifts to cover his face. Oh, yes, definitely his youngest and most sweet sidekick, the purple one

Marvel and Darla end up going with the League so they don't get photographed as they leave the museum. Everyone is completely silent for a few moments before anyone dares to comment

Hal: You smell like motor oil. Are you a mechanic?

Marvel:

Flash: Better question. Do you smoke??! You smell like you do.

Marvel: *embarrassed noises*

Darla: No!! He doesn't smoke! His boss does!!!

Marvel: Sweet… it's okay, you don't have to say anything for me, okay? Let's just get you home

He looked so defeated, and everyone noticed. Embarrassed, even. Oh, he must be sad because now the league sees he's no longer that big, smilly guy in the gold and red suit. He's a broke guy in old clothes who probably works in a garage. Nothing wrong with that, just obviously not how he wanted to be seen.

Btw this whas inspired by a post of parenting marvel of wonderjanga

Big Brother Things.

Billy was crying currently and Freddy was trying to get him to stop before Mary found out he made him cry.

You See, Billy had a wiggly tooth so obviously Freddy agreed to help him out. He ripped out the wrong tooth and now Billy’s mouth was bleeding like a lot, and Freddy was panicking because if Mary walked in-

“What the heck!? Billy!” Ah shoot he was so dead…

Billy just cried harder, his mouth bloody and some of the blood dripping out as he tried to talk but all that came out was more Blood.

….

Look so what if this prank ended up in Mary beating Freddy, it was so worth it. Yeah the blood was real but the pain and tears were not. Freddy did yank the correct tooth he just let him think it was the wrong one. He liked seeing his dear brother being terrified of his twin sister’s wrath.
