From the wisdom of Solomon to the speed of Mercury, here are all six Shazam powers in the DCEU and how they work ahead of Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
Billy Batson is returning to the big screen with Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and DC’s sequel can further dive into Shazam’s powers. Once known as Captain Marvel and currently set to be known as The Captain in the comics, Shazam is one of DC’s most unique characters. After appearing in live-action for the first time in the 1974’s Shazam! TV series, Billy made his theatrical debut in Shazam! , a movie mostly inspired by the New 52 iteration of the character.
Other Captain Marvel/Shazam adaptations, such as the DC Animated Universe’s Justice League Unlimited show, leaned heavily toward the wisdom of Solomon aspect of the character. In those particular iterations, Shazam acts very much like a centered, wise adult. That said, while the DCEU’s Shazam went for a different approach, the character still displayed his intellect when in battle.
It would have been interesting to see how Shazam would flair on a fight against Black Adam or even Superman. While Doctor Sivana could have ended up being a Shazam champion himself and had an impressive set of superpowers, Billy Batson has yet to meet an antagonist who truly rivals his strength in the DCEU. Given that aShazam vs. Black Adam DCEU fight is virtually impossible given the current status of the franchise, Billy will not get to test his strength of Hercules against his arch-nemesis.
3 Power of Zeus Without his lightning abilities, Shazam might have come off as nothing but another Superman. Fortunately, the power of Zeus makes Billy Batson’s superhero form stand out from other heavy-hitter DC characters like Superman. The lightning bolt reference in Shazam’s symbol is also responsible for igniting Billy Batson’s powerful transformation into Shazam whenever the kid says “Shazam”.
