Is Captain Marvel And Shazam The Same Person?
Before scrutinizing about the two superheroes cited above are same entities or not, what really makes me curious about the Captain Marvel title, which seems like a headlock between Marvel and DC. For the moment of truth, Shazam’s getup is utterly cartoonish as compared to the female dominant Captain Marvel costume. Shockingly, there’s a long battle between the two Comicbook labels having the same meta-human emblems at the same time. But for now, we are talking about the 14-year-old Bill Batson (Asher Angel) who gets his mind, body, and overall physique transfigured into an extraordinary full grown-up superhero by voicing up the non-wizardry word (SHAZAM!!)
The fingertip lightning bolt character has been played by actor Zachary Levi, performing a tongue-twisted role with his comical acting renditions alongside those “Shazam bizarre” reflexes. Coming to the characters real identity moniker, whether it’s Captain Marvel or Shazam, we all know pretty well that DC made its New 52 revival that altered the character’s name from Captain Marvel to Shazam.
Somehow, DC Comics has made a twofold superhero dictating his prowess in both dimensions and its denizens. Thus, in this sense, they are actually both in the same body. Nonetheless, we all know for certain that the when it comes to Comicbook publications, the year 1986 has been referred to be the turning point of Captain Marvel aka Shazam! DC creators Marv Wolfman (writer) and George Perez (penciler) created “Crisis on Infinite Earths”, elaborating an intense skirmish amongst major DC Superheroes. Undoubtedly, it was a true turning point of how DC superheroes went through the retro-futuristic transitions, both with their true intuitive identities and supernatural capacities.
For our Superhero Shazam, after the Crisis on Infinite Earths issue, writers Roy and Dan Thomas recreated Shazam to appear in his new 1980s miniseries. Keeping up a 14-year-old disposition into a 30-year-old Shazam, was something that really fascinated DC to do experiments with. Similarly, the Fawcett Comics (1939-1953) witnessed how Billy Batson and Captain Marvel were two separate personalities at that time.
Right now, the latest Captain Marvel (Shazam) adaption is what 2019 is a big scene where DCEU could create its best future moviedom scenario to compete with the likes of Marvel Avengers: Infinity War and its sequel finale Endgame. All we can say from the trailer that this time they’re the same person’s in a single body, but who knows they could card up to the “story plot” aces with making them two differs in two separate dimensions. Sounds like the Marvel’s Captain Marvel is comic-cooking here. So weird yet fascinating!
