Billy Batson, a teenaged radio broadcaster and orphan, was brought by a magic train to an underground lair where he met the wizard Shazam. The wizard gives him superpowers to combat the forces of evil. All Billy had to do to access these powers was to say the wizard’s name “Shazam!” Captain Marvel’s nemesis was Dr. Sivana, a mad scientist bent on world domination, who called Marvel the “Big Red Cheese”. Marvel also fought Captain Nazi, Ibac, and the nefarious Mister Mind and his Monster Society of Evil. The Society ranks included Captain Marvel’s greatest foes, new ones such as Herkimer, and even the Axis leaders Adolf Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo. Captain Marvel was assisted in his fight against crime and evil by the Marvel Family, and teamed up with the other Fawcett superheroes such as Ibis the Invincible, Bulletman and Bulletgirl, Spy Smasher, Minute-Man, and Mr. Scarlet and Pinky. Captain Marvel has the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury.
