The Power of Shazam! (1994) by Jerry Ordway

[the-antiapocalyptic-man]

what are lightning bolts and shooting stars and pure hearts against the endless expanse of blackest night? What's magic against a great endless nothing?

(Stargirl and The Captain vs Black Adam, sort of)

His brother in law actually, Adam really cared about his in-laws.

But yeah, having someone you trust get your brother into a precarious situation (detransformed right back into the physical state that had him in deaths door and paralyzed from the waist down) just to eat him alive and turn out a villain right after you finally seem to get a happy ending is OOF

Why do they deserve to win?

Chris Kent (TW abuse)

Teth Adam (TW slavery)

Marvel Being a Terrible “Dad”

In the league’s point of view, Billy has to be a terrible dad… and if he’s not their dad… why is a grown ass man hanging around with these kids? So for peace of mind, they assume Jr. and Mary are his kids. I mean, they kinda look like him. Kinda. Like, I can already see a good portion of them not really liking that he’s letting Freddy and Mary fight bloodthirsty monsters and villains. But, even the heroes that don’t mind that have to take a minute to process Marvel congratulating Mary for going off and doing something extremely reckless:

*They all just watched as Mary flew into an alien spaceship to take it down from the inside out. They knew nothing about the ship, just that it was hostile.*

Mary: *Flies back down from the ship, covered in soot. Lands by Marvel.*

Superman: *Flies over to them* “That was extremely reck—”

Billy: *cuts off* “Mary, that was amazing!”

Superman: “Cap, that wasn’t amazing. It was extremely reckless! She could’ve gotten herself killed!” *gestures to Mary wildly.*

Billy: “But she didn’t!” *gives thumbs up* “Come on, let’s get victory ice cream.”

*The two fly off*

or

*All of them are talking about their kids, eating together at a little lunch table in the Watchtower’s cafeteria like middle schoolers*

Superman: “I wouldn’t let Jon fight any of my villains alone. Most of them, anyways.”

Billy: “Why? Is he not strong enough?”

Superman: “Well, I’m sure he is, but I don’t want him to get hurt, or traumatized. Being a hero can be harsh at times. He’s just a kid.”

Billy: “So? Just cause he’s a kid doesn’t mean that he can’t fight. Just let him.”

Superman: “What? I can’t just let him. How would you feel if Junior or Mary had to fight Black Adam on their own?”

Billy: *shrugs* “Depends. Are they gonna fight him individually or together?”

Batman: *Eating a bat shaped sandwich, made by Alfred* “Individually.”

Billy: “Oh, yeah. Sure. I could trust them to handle Adam alone. I don’t think they could incapacitate him though. A couple times, when I’ve been busy, they’ve held him off for me until I get there.”

Flash: “You just let two little kids (Freddy and Mary look like pre-teens) go out and fight Black Adam? The same Black Adam that destroyed like a quarter of Metropolis in a day?”

Billy: “When you put it like that, it sounds crazy.” *Eats spaghettios*

Green Lantern: “Dude, it is crazy.”

Billy: “Wha? No it’s not. Wondy, when’d you start training for being a whole Amazonian warrior princess?”

Wonder Woman: “When I started adolescence.” *Eats ice cream*

Billy: “Seeeee? It’s fine.”

Martian Manhunter: “How old exactly are Mary and Junior?” *Also eats ice cream*

Billy: “Mary’s eleven and Junior’s twelve, they’re close enough.”

*All except Marvel exchange slightly concerned glances*

or

*Marvel and Junior are bickering next to one of the windows of the Watchtower.*

Black Canary: *Minding her own business and walks past them.*

Billy: “How about I slam your head through this window so we can really see if you can breathe in space, huh?”

*Canary pauses, and wow. Junior didn’t even flinch. That’s actually crazy. The bickering just got worse. This really doesn’t look good from a licensed therapist’s point of view.*

HENRY CAVILL as SUPERMAN Black Adam (2022) | dir. Jaume Collet-Serra

[odinsblog]

“First season of LEVERAGE - so he's 21 years old - he shows me his watch designs. I'm expecting, y' know, celebrity strap branding or faces. No, it's engineering schematics of GEARS and shit. Pages of them. Even then, there were none so cool.” - John Rogers

[aroace-madness]

So I decided to mix my post where Marvel accidentaly convinces the public that he was raped and @wonderjanga's post about divorced Marvel and Black Adam having a custody battle

Also i'm gonna include trans Marvel because why not (also ✨drama✨)

A year prior to Marvels talk with the press, during a pride parade, he showed up with a trans flag on his cape, people went crazy over that

Then the talk happend, everyones hearts bleeded for their hero

And a few weeks later Adam came along, trying to take a Billy- most likely another child of Marvels- to Khandaq, away from him

People started to slowly connect the dots

Marvel being trans, being raped in which results in his children, Adam and Marvel being divorced

It all made sense now

Marvel and Adam used to be married (there are theories that Marvel was forced), Black Adam performed marital rape, THRICE, MINIMUM, Marvel was forced to keep, and give birth to babies he did not want and now Adam wants to take his kids away from him

Black Adam gets jumped that day

Tell me why I think the Council of Eternity would WEEP happy tears if they ever got to meet Billy?

I mean, they were so trusting in Teth Adam, that he would protect magic, protect earth, be a guardian for the Rock. But his betrayal not only cost the lives of humanity, but their own lives as well, leaving their brother Shazam to wallow by himself for centuries. Imagine the guilt and sorrow. Watching each other die by the hands of someone you saw as a son, a student, a successor. A bad judge of character led to the end of civilizations, and it was all their fault, and they don’t deserve this power or this station—

And then, years later, Billy is chosen. Someone who has the values they’ve been looking for. He cares about his job more than humanly possible. He’s heroic and courageous and everything a champion needs to be. He gets sick just thinking about hurting anyone, and while he does like seeing people get their just desserts, he doesn’t actively seek out vengeance.

So yes, I do think that if the ghosts of the fallen council members met Billy, they would cry. And hug him, and cry some more. And then totally go crazy over the fact that “HOLY CRAP WE HAVE A CHAMPION! WE HAVE AN ACTUAL CHAMPION!”

I mean, they are still human😅.

THICCC ASS 😍😍😍😜

In another post I have, I mentioned Billy and Adam having an agreement not to touch certain topics.

What I mean is that both of them have trauma. They recognize bits of themselves in each other, the trauma of growing up too fast and losing your family and being alone. The weight of being the champion of magic weighed heavily on both of them, even if they will both insist it made them better. They are the only two living beings who know the feeling of magic lighting every pore in your body, of the energy of the Rock of Eternity lighting a fire in them, and the bone crushing weight that goes along with it.

They don’t mention each other’s families. They both avoid civilian identities if they can. Billy invites Adam to help him take down human traffickers. Adam doesn’t attack on Billy’s families death date.

They have codes between them, of when things go too far. Black Adam says the word Teth in mid battle and Captain Marvel pulls him away from the battle, being extremely gentle. Captain Marvel says the word Mary in a battle against multiversal monsters and Black Adam directs him towards a group of monsters to destroy with no mercy, before whisking the Captain away.(A few tourists take pictures of Black Adam having ice cream with a child leaning into his side.)

They are enemies. Black Adam and Captain Marvel are still nemeses, and they do fight on the battlefield. But they both realize they are more. They are also Adam and Billy, two souls who understand each other in ways no one else can.

Okay here's probably one of the largest matching cover sets in recent memory: Dustin Nguyen's Midnight Variants for the Knight Terrors event!!

And this is only the first half...

[randomthing13]

I did it again, and I do have a halloween idea so I'll work on that next. Also like Mr. Mind was a nazi at some point so I'll do whatever I want to him. I drew Darla to because I felt like it and she probably never got all that glitter out.

Is this truly the replacement for public reports of the world’s goings on? No more messengers collecting and sending written news?

Self Promotion

Poor old man is confused by the modern era. The only solution is to post about it on twitter where he will never see.

A short one today, but I have a long one coming soon!

(Please ignore the fact that I forgot to change the date here, it’s too late to fix it)

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.

RANDOM HEADCANON

Billy batson is a semi practicing Greek pagan.

Context: teth Adam worshiped the egyptian gods and now gets powers from them

Think about it, Billy has seen and met the Greek gods, been to tarturus, met hercules and wonder woman, is aware aquman is the descendent of posiden, so what If he just accepts them as the main gods on the grounds "iv met those ones and use there powers"

He never dose like the holidays or anything but will do a lil prayer to an appropriate Greek God before he dose something difcult, just think it would be neat
