As powerful as Superman is, one thing fans have seen in the comics is Superman aging, albeit at a much slower rate than humans. Yet one thing that stands out immediately as a pretty insane power that most don’t know about is Shazam's immortality. That’s not to say he can’t get hurt at all or anything, but he literally cannot pass the mortal coil. T...
One thing most fans of modern day Billy Batson and Shazam don’t know about is that early on in the 1940s, Shazam (or Captain Marvel for longtime DC fans,) could have an atomic punch. That era was when atomic warfare first came into play, after all. He could put all of his power into a single punch, which would create a mushroom cloud where the punc...
One thing that is so obvious that fans often don’t think of it is the fact that Shazam’s power relies heavily on Billy’s ability to speak. Often in DC comics and the subsequent animated films/shows, there will be times when Billy is forced back into his human form, and before he can shout “Shazam!,” his enemies or even allies can cover his mouth an...
One thing that will surprise fans is that Shazam has the ability to speak all languages. The wisdom of Solomon that comes with his abilities allows Billy to speak not only all languages on Earth, but all alien dialects, dead languages, and even allows him to communicate with animals. This allows him to hear what enemies are saying in another dialec...
Besides being immortal, one thing that defines Shazam has to be his ability to not age. That doesn’t mean Billy himself can’t age, just his Shazam form. So as Billy Batson ages normally, the body he gets from his Shazam power will remain the same age forever. This is tied to his abilities thanks to what is known as the Stamina of Atlas. The wizard ...
A big part of the comics for Billy Batson and his journey as Shazam has to be the use of magic. The hero’s own power derives greatly from the use of magic, especially since it was a powerful wizard that granted him his abilities. Only the highest of magics can affect Shazam. Being a hero of magic himself, it would take quite a lot for him to be wea...
When we say the hero Shazam’s own power could be considered “godlike,” we don’t say that lightly. Early on in Shazam’s career (then Captain Marvel,) his powers mirrored those of Superman. Much like the Man of Steel, Shazam could move and even juggle whole planets using his strength, and could even move entire suns if need be. While his power has di...
When the lighting bolt was introduced as Billy’s way of summoning the power of Shazam, it was used more as a symbolic thing than an actual physical ability. However, as the lightning bolt became more prominent in the story of Shazam, he has gained the ability to wield the bolt as a weapon. The most famous case of this came in the alternate story Ki...
One thing that fans have obviously noted about the hero is his reliance on electricity and electrical power. It may seem strange, but despite his reliance on lightning for his power, Billy is highly susceptible to electricity. This means that if he is hit with a powerful enough blast of electricity, Shazam will be transformed back into Billy Batson...
The world knows Superman as the hero who took to the skies. However, strange enough, Shazam actually beat Superman to the skies in the comics. It took years before Superman began flying, but Shazam began flying after only three issues of his original comic series. Yet it was Superman who gained the ability to fly so fast that he could travel throug...

- Shazam Is Incredibly Smart. Once the magic lightning strikes Billy, he gains the wisdom of Solomon. That's thousands of years of knowledge. Add that to Billy's above-average intelligence, and he gives Mister Terrific and Brainiac 5 a run for their money.
- He's Not Slower Than The Flash. This is a contentious issue. Fans of the Flash believe both Barry and Wally are faster than Shazam because they can tap into the Speed Force.
- He Can Pass His Powers To Other People. Early in his career, Shazam realized he needed help fighting evil-doers like Doctor Saviana and Mister Mind. After saving Freddy Freeman, Shazam helped him become Captain Marvel Jr.
- He Controls The Lightning. Fans get confused about this ability because he didn't have it before. Well, at least until the New 52 era. Or, rather, his ability to control lightning was different.
