The Power Of Shazam

[moonlightcycle571]

The JL fight a magic user who casts a spell on everyone where their biggest weakness will be displayed above their heads. If Batman takes notes later, then that’s not on him.

There’s the predictable ones like Hal where it says ‘Yellow’, Clark says ‘Kryptonite’, and Martian Manhunter ‘Fire’.

But then there’s the one where you need to interpret like Flash halving ‘Bound’, the Hawks having ‘Clipped’ which pertains to their wings or even the ‘Pride’ on Doctor Fate.

What’s weird is that Batman and Captain Marvel of all people have the same word:

‘Adoption��

Little does everyone know that it’s for two entirely different reasons. Batman can’t help but adopt. Batson doesn’t want to be adopted.

No one knows Captain Marvel is secretly a kid, so everyone thinks he’s like Batman, but just doesn’t adopt (or thinks Freddy & Mary or the Vasquez kids are actually his if they are in AU). But for the sake of comedy, let’s not have them.

Batman thinks there is some kind of kinship, and asks how he battles the urge to adopt? Captain Marvel is trying really hard to not run away (he doesn’t want to get adopted, especially not by Batman, the puns enough are going to be atrocious).

It would look something like this:

Bruce: and that’s how I got all my kids. Or at least most of them. I’m not sure if technically family friends count, but they still got their parents, you know?

Billy, does not in fact know: yeah… darn those parents ammi right

Ollie, wondering if they should put Cap in the JL parent group: oh, do you have any kids?

Billy: oh no, I can’t (Cue misunderstandings)

Bruce: I understand the urge to adopt is real, good on you for not giving in. We live a dangerous life style

Billy: We’ll we can’t help the fae brain

Bruce: the what?

Billy, he just heard the term before and thought it was the common word: you know, when you just want to keep and raise a kid for yourself

Bruce, thinking of the numerous tales of witches and fae using first born children as payment only to realise it’s their way of adoption: … huh

Billy, just wants to escape and hug his tiger: oh it’s really fine. Anyways I need to bounce, but we’ll see each other on Mondays meeting

Proceeds to ruffle everyone’s hair (he can’t help it, he’s taller than anyone and enjoys the feeling of ruffling hair instead of having his hair ruffled)

Batman: oh OH

Cue most misunderstanding where they think Marvel mentally adopted them. They all have daddy issues anyways, so it really shouldn’t be a surprise when they try to be the fae brain favourite.

HAHA YOU THOUGHT YOU WERENT GETTING DAD MARVEL, BUT JUMPED ON THAT BANDWAGON THE SECOND IT CAME OUT

Something else that is not on the topic of the post. I don't know why I created this.

[aroace-madness]

The JL witnessed Captain Marvel scolding a magic user for some dumb and dangerous shit they did

And if they weren't sure that their friend was a dad before they sure as hell are now

As they watched they started to feel guilty themselves even tho haven't done anything. They felt like watching their sibling get their ass beat

*The Batson family at a pet store*

CC: What pet do you want, kiddo?

Billy: I dunno

CC: Hmmm…what about this dog?

Billy: I dunno.

Marilyn: Okay…what about something smaller, like a hamster?

Mary: Ewwww!!!

Billy: I dunno.

CC: *Completely lost*

Billy: *Sees something and points to it* I want that one!

CC: Oh? Which one do you——

*Its a picture of probably the biggest tiger this guy has ever seen*

Marilyn: Yeah…no.

CC: Maybe when you’re older, sport.

*Years Later*

Billy: *Petting a sleeping Tawny*

Mary: 😁

Folks, remember Daxiong’s DC variants he with with AI? DC quietly confirmed he did use AI, they cancelled the variants, and replaced them with cover art made by actual artists

I found a few small sources confirming this, along with the new covers created by actual artists

Wonder Woman #10: Daxiong —> Dan Panosian

Shazam #12: Daxiong —> Cully Hamner

Power Girl #10: Daxiong —> Dave Johnson

I’m glad DC cancelled the original covers. It’s not worth buying art of any kind if no one spent the time to actually make them. These new variants being made by actual artists are a million times better for that reason alone, that real human artists put their time into making them, and not AI stealing from what has already been created.

Billy gives shazam powers to Jon kent

╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦╦

Billy: Jon, Jon! You have to see this!

It's not how he expected to wake up on a Saturday morning, but opens the window of his room anyway.

Billy: Give me your hand!

Jon: Wait... what?

Billy: Come on, don't waste time!

Jon extends his arm and Billy grabs it with all his strength. Jon doesn't feel much really, but tries to pull away when he hears him say that word...

Billy: SHAZAM!

Alive. Jonathan is alive. Thank heavens! That trick of Billy's would have electrocuted anyone else.

Billy: HOLLY MOLY! Look at you, Jon!

Jon: Buddy, magic hurts Kryptonians, why...?

Billy pushes his friend towards the bathroom mirror as best as he can. It's instant.

Jon: Billy! Why do I look like my dad?!

Billy: It's you, only now you're in your adult version's body. Do you know what that means?

His friend keeps looking at himself in the mirror in awe... he seemed to be over twenty years old.

Jon: Do I have to shave with kryptonite?

Billy: No! Now we can go to the Indianapolis 500. In the front row!

Jon: But we can't go without an adult... and the League has forbidden you from going as The Captain.

Billy: But now you're the adult! Grab something to cover your costume and let's go.

Jon: Don't rush me, buddy. This is my mom's closet, it's an art.

Billy: You just need to find your dad's trench coat.

Jon: Billy, my mom will figure out I went through her closet. She's a detective and she'll definitely notice!

Half a kilo of luggage and a few dollars spent later...

Billy is throwing up his dinner after sneaking into one of the vehicles. Luckily, Jon rescues him from the security office and they return to Metropolis.

Batman issues a statement that same afternoon looking for someone alarmingly similar to Superman. The notes theorize about a new clone.

Rock of Eternity Getting Offerings because they deserve it

I like to think that whenever there’s a magical artifact that needs containment, Billy just… takes it. Here is how it started.

Billy, after defeating an evil wizard: so… what do I do with the Staff???

Solomon: it cannot be kept in the world of man, it’s far to dangerous. You must destr-

Achilles: NEW LAMP

Hemrmes: YESSSSSSSS

Hercules: WAR TROPHY

Solomon: that is highly irresponsible, we cannot keep highly volatile objects for ‘the aesthetic’

Zeus: the burning violon

Solomon:

Solomon: well some decor never hurt anyone.

*and*

JL, after a long battle: Finally the foe has been vanquished! Now to find a secure place to stor-

Marvel, yoinks it and yeets it in a portal: done

Everyone present: w h a t

*or*

Amanda Waller: -thus the proof we need to detain you for breaking into secure government location and theft of a classified artifact

Marvel: *points to the screen* that’s not me

Waller: that’s litterally you in a French beret and a fake mustach

Marvel: I don’t know who that is, but they do look dashingly handsome. And look like a Gustavo. Probably a French mime who failed mime class and left on a journey of self discovery.

Waller: you can’t be serious

Captain Atom, fuck the government rn: I don’t know, Cap doesn’t have a mustach

Batman: the mime theory seems like a pretty sold theory to me

Several people (heroes, civilians, villains and all in between) telling Cap was with them as the time at the crime, each of them being vastly different.

Waller: this mf secretly a mass manipulator???

*or*

Cap, fighting in a museum:

Hermès: Ooh I know this pendant. Super magical, super cool.

Cap, on instinct, puts in pocket dimension to put it on the Rock:

Flash: … did I witness a theft????

Wether the pendant was actually magic or just a shiny jewel Hermes wanted is up for interpretation.

Anyways that’s how whenever he finds magical artefacts or books or whatnot, he just puts them in the Rock of Eternity. It’s a logical solution, as it serves as a place to safeguard and examine, and maybe purify some objects to use later.

The Wizard is so done. It started off as ‘dangerous artefacts to be relocated when a suitable place is found’ but then it became the go to storage and all the stuff just stays.

Thé Rock in the other hand, loves it. Getting more and more offerings by their new champion really shows how loved they are. It’s has been way too long since they got any offerings and new additions, so the newest champion giving them plenty of nourishment / stimulation is as if they are being spoiled.

Billy, brings an ancient cursed crown:

Wizard: another one???

Rock, already pushing Wizard aside: FOR ME!!!! TYTYTYYTY OH MY ME YOU ARE GOING TO LOOK SO CUTE WOTH THIS HOLD ONE LET ME JUST REPLACE THE MAGOC WOTH MINE

Five hours later Billy is chilling in one of the thrones with his new crown and one of his magic cape to match.

In conclusion, Billy is like a cat bringing a mouse in the house, except the mouse is actually a rubix cube that sometimes turns into sushi.

Yes Billy did bring a magic rubix cube that makes sushi when completed. Now I kinda want sushi ngl
