With all the debate about Freddy's hero name (Marvel Junior, Lieutenant Marvel, CM3, Voltage etc etc) I'm going to throw another option into the ring.
"Marvelous"
My reasons:
For a bunch of characters named Marvel one of them has to have the name Marvelous its just a missed opportunity to not
With the idea of his word being MARVEL instead of SHAZAM (bc CAPTAIN MARVEL is too long) you get the hilarious concept of the name coming from Freddy trying to avoid saying his word
"Thank you for saving the day! What's your name hero?" "I'm a Marvel-" *thunder cracks above* "-ous. My name is Marvelous."
It sticks to Freddy being connected to Billy due to getting his power from him, while still being individualistic enough where it doesn't feel like Freddy is just a sidekick (part of why I can't get behind Junior, but thats for another post)
You get the comedy of Shazam not being able to say his name without it being an actual issue, there is just ominous thunder every time Freddy says his hero name
This also creates an ongoing bit of Freddy purposely fucking with Zeus or whoever gives him his power
A villain could taunt him with "Marvelous, more like Marvel-less!" and Freddy could rag on that awful pun
Yes this does have the issue of not being a two-part name so it can't be shortened like Mary or Captain, like are they just gonna call him lous? Actually that's kind of funny I consider this comedy net-win
