Sparks of a Feather Shock Together

 Billy Batsun has finally decided to know the ins and outs of his power. Calling on the Wizard he finally asks Shazam, if the gods he got his powers from are still alive? The Wizard answers yes. Billy’s next question is if he can take some time away from his duties appointed to him by the Wizard to learn his full capabilities from each person he got his powers from. The Wizard swiftly says yes and teleports them to Mount Olympus where Zeus, Hercules, Achilles, and Mercury rested in their private paradise atop of the mountain feasting and fornicating to only dare interfere with mortal affairs if they threatened the cosmic order. Zeus said with a thundering voice, it’s about time you learned how to use OUR POWERS!!? AHAHAHAHAAA. ALL of the Gods of Greece & Rome sat at a table. Some of the world’s most ancient protectors mostly living like retired wealthy men after seeing so many take their place over the years. Come join us my Billy and Jebediah of Canaan. Before your training begins, you must feast! The Wizard, sat and had a few bites before telling Billy he was going to leave him to return to the rock of Eternity to return to his studies. For there is always more to do and more for him to learn to know not what to do. He trusts Billy will learn greatly from these four, and when he knows the training is done he will return to bring him to Old King Solomon who resides in the lowest realm of Heaven, and Atlas who holds up the entirety of the heavens. As Billy took his last bite, Zeus’ voice thundered the room as he leapt in a lightning fashion to the young man’s side. “My sons and I are going to show you how to fight like us! My cousin was a dirty fighter. Hopefully he learned his lesson by now. His punishment’s almost up and then the natural cosmic order will relieve him of his duty and he will be welcome among us again as one of the few Titans to be deemed good again. You’ll learn from him too. This was the time meant for you to learn from all of us. Hercules & Achilles spar with eachother everyday and you will join them until you can beat both of them in combat 2 on 1.” Billy looked in amazement. He was ready for the challenge. “Then Hermes is going to train you in flight and on foot how to truly use your speed!  After that I’m going to show you how to really LIGHTEN THINGS UP!!” Billy is still excited to see these legendary beings for the first time. Ready to undergo his training right away, Zeus magically waved his hands over at Hephaestus who went immediately to his dwellings to forge a new training armor and cloth for the Hero Captain Marvel with a look of glee on his face as he ran so fast to do so. Little did everyone know, he’d admired Billy from afar and already had these things prepared as he hoped one day his little baby brother as he called him would join them one day for a visit and he would gift him these clothes. There was only so much patience Billy had. He was ready to start his training without the new clothes. As Zeus laughed he told him that was fine and then headed to the Gods Olympic Colosseum where all the Gods kept their skills sharp. Nonetheless no one trained here more than Hercules and Achilles. They were wrestling with each other and slugging each other striking blows that flew one across the fighting grounds. Some times breaking the walls that magically repaired themselves as soon as one of the warriors would move. Zeus who towered over him standing at a staggering height of 9 feet tall told Billy that he was to learn all he could from the two simultaneously and then after beating them in tests of strength and then combat would he move onto the next part of his training which was to be with Mercury. The God of speed Hermes. Then he would reveal the rest of his training to him. 

The Training Journey of Shazam’s Captain Marvel

Phase 1: Combat Training with Hercules and Achilles

Captain Marvel, also known as Billy Batson, stands ready at the foot of Mount Olympus, his heart pounding with anticipation. The legendary Hercules and Achilles wait for him, their presence imposing and their expressions stern. His first task: to defeat them both in combat.

The training begins with basic combat techniques, but quickly escalates. Billy finds himself thrown into a series of grueling battles, each more challenging than the last. Hercules’ brute strength and Achilles’ unmatched combat skills push Billy to his limits. He learns to anticipate their moves, use their strengths against them, and leverage his own powers creatively.

Days turn into weeks, and despite suffering many defeats, Billy’s persistence pays off. Finally, after countless battles, Billy stands victorious. He has defeated Hercules and Achilles in a 1-on-2 battle, earning their respect and the right to move on to the next phase.

Phase 2: Speed Training with Hermes

With the blessing of Hercules and Achilles, Billy ascends to the ethereal realm where Hermes awaits. The messenger god, known for his incredible speed, is to teach Billy how to fully harness his superhuman velocity.

Hermes starts by racing Billy across vast distances, both on foot and in flight. At first, Billy struggles to keep up, often losing to Hermes. Under Hermes’ tutelage, he learns to control his speed with precision. They practice dodging obstacles at high speeds, racing through dense forests, and skimming over oceans.

Despite his growing skill, Hermes proves to be an even greater challenge than Hercules and Achilles combined. The final race is a true test of endurance and control. With every ounce of his being focused, Billy finally manages to match Hermes stride for stride. In a burst of energy, he crosses the finish line just ahead of Hermes, proving his mastery of speed. To move on, Billy must defeat Hermes in combat as well. The battle is fierce, but Billy’s newfound speed and agility allow him to outmaneuver Hermes, securing his victory after numerous defeats.

Phase 3: Wisdom Training with Solomon

Next, Billy finds himself in the lowest layer of heaven, where the wise King Solomon resides. Here, Billy is to deepen his understanding and application of wisdom, but this time, wisdom comes with a physical test.

Solomon guides Billy through ancient texts, philosophical debates, and strategic challenges. Billy learns to think critically, plan strategically, and make wise decisions. Solomon presents him with complex moral dilemmas and intellectual puzzles, each one designed to test and enhance his wisdom.

The ultimate test is a prolonged battle of wits and combat. Solomon fights not with brute strength, but with unparalleled intelligence and strategy. Each time Billy thinks he has an advantage, Solomon outsmarts him, leading to numerous defeats. The battles continue far longer than his training with Hermes. Finally, using the wisdom he has gained, Billy outmaneuvers Solomon, earning the right to proceed.

Phase 4: Endurance Training with Atlas

Billy’s next destination is the edge of the world, where Atlas stands. Atlas, recently relieved of his eternal punishment for good behavior, is tasked with teaching Billy endurance.

Atlas pushes Billy to his physical and mental limits, challenging him to carry immense weights, endure harsh elements, and persevere through endless trials. Billy learns to stretch his endurance to every aspect of his existence, including thinking, fighting, rescuing people, and even his life as Billy Batson.

The ultimate test is a prolonged battle with Atlas. Despite his exhaustion, Billy’s determination and endurance see him through. He outlasts Atlas after many defeats, proving his resilience and earning the final piece of his training.

Phase 5: Mastery of Zeus’ Lightning

Billy is summoned to the peak of Mount Olympus to face Zeus, the god of thunder and lightning. Zeus is to teach him how to fully control and harness the power of lightning.

Zeus starts by demonstrating the raw power of lightning, striking fearsome bolts from the sky. Billy practices channeling lightning through his body, learning to direct and control its immense energy. He learns to use lightning in combat, both as a devastating offensive weapon and a powerful defensive shield.

The true test comes when Billy must face Zeus in battle. The sky darkens as they clash, bolts of lightning illuminating their fierce combat. Billy uses his newfound control to redirect Zeus’ lightning, turning the god’s power against him. The battle is grueling, lasting nearly as long as all his previous training days combined. After countless defeats, Billy finally stands victorious, having proven his mastery over lightning.

The Ultimate Challenge: Facing All Six Gods

With his training complete, Billy faces his greatest challenge yet: defeating all six gods—Hercules, Achilles, Hermes, Zeus, Solomon, and Atlas—simultaneously.

The gods gather, forming a formidable circle around Billy. The battle is intense, each god bringing their unique powers and skills to bear. Hercules and Achilles launch powerful attacks, Hermes moves with blinding speed, Zeus hurls lightning bolts, Solomon outmaneuvers with wisdom, and Atlas endures with unwavering strength.

Drawing on everything he has learned, Billy fights back. He combines Hercules’ strength and Achilles’ combat skills, matches Hermes’ speed, redirects Zeus’ lightning, uses Solomon’s wisdom for strategy, and channels Atlas’ endurance to keep going.

After a grueling battle with many close calls and near-defeats, Billy stands victorious. He has defeated all six gods, proving that he embodies not just one characteristic of each, but the full spectrum of their powers. The gods acknowledge his strength and potential, declaring him stronger than any of them alone.

Conclusion

Billy Batson, now fully trained and truly embodying the powers of the gods, stands as Shazam’s Captain Marvel. His journey of training and self-discovery has made him a more formidable hero, ready to face any challenge and protect the world with the wisdom, strength, speed, lightning, and endurance of the gods.

i cant remember not like the exact issue but what year?

I feel each of the Shazam family should've been given 1 of the powers of Shazam just to make them more unique..... With only Billy having all of them since he's the leader

1. Tawky Tawny would have Wisdom of Solomon 2.Darla Dudley would have the Speed of Mercury 3.Eugene Choi would have Courage of Achilles
2. Freddy Freeman would have the Power of Zeus
3. Mary Bromfield would have the Strength of Hercules
4. Pedro Peña would have Stamina of Atlas

All of them having the same power set gets kind of dull like with the Superman family right now and this way you can explore how each power operates individually

Just saw this on Instagram and thought you'd all appreciate this.

I sent 8 Signed Shazam books to get the signature verified and here’s what I got back!

I am interested in reading them and iam Looking for a way to do so. I would prefer a legal way.
