after moving between foster families for
most of his life 15 year-old Billy
Batson didn't know the meaning of home
but one day after being chased by
bullies into a subway car Billy was
magicked away to the rock of eternity
where he was granted bowers by a
mysterious wizard hey wait wait that's
it
no freaky alien jeans no parents getting
gunned down in an alley he just hopped
on a train and shut off to meet some old
dude where's the tragedy where's the
drama boomstick he's an orphan oh right
Oh shucks it up and the way the rock of
eternity is no ordinary chunk of dirt
floating across the cosmos it was the
home of a wizardly hero who was in need
of an heir and a claim his powers all
Billy needed to do was speak aloud a
single magic word
Shazaam what kind of magic word is
Shazam even abracadabra would be better
than that boomstick you have no room to
talk your password is password and you
don't even spell it right exactly Wiz
genius hi
oh wait wait a minute how do you know my
password let's move on anyway whenever
Billy shares his magic word with heroic
intent he summons a bolt of lightning
that ages him up to become Sam as Shazam
Billy gains a wide variety of impressive
powers including the wisdom of Solomon
the strength of Hercules the stamina of
Atlas the lightning of Zeus the courage
of Achilles and the speed of mercury and
the body of legal drinking age each of
these ancient beings granted their own
capabilities to Shazam the wisdom of
Solomon gave him a perfect memory and
the ability to magically gain any
knowledge he needs to know so it's like
a smartphone with internet access I sure
the strength of Hercules makes him super
strong obviously and with the lightning
of Zeus he got awesome electric powers
Zeus himself once channelled the power
to defeat the shattered god of being
only previously slain by the Big Bang
slayed your mom with the Big Bang
Shazam also gained accelerated healing a
shortcut to the rock of eternity and the
ability to share his powers with anyone
he considers family like his adoptive
sister
I suppose he eventually found himself a
home after all huh that's touching but
back to cool superpowers with the
courage of Achilles he became tough
enough to survive in space and even take
on Superman himself and with the speed
of mercury he can fly as well as move
faster than light why is everybody good
to go faster than the speed of light I
won't meet some of that I mean I offered
to do some genetic you know tinkering

lot of cosmetics
