Shazam

Background

Child to archaeologists C.C. and Marylin Batson, Billy Batson's parents were killed by their assistant, Theo Adam, while on a dig at the tomb of Rameses II at Abu Simbel, Egypt. Separated from his sister and left in the care of his uncle, who later stole his trust fund money and threw him out, Billy eked out an existence in Fawcett City as a newsboy while sleeping in subway terminals.
Guided to the Rock of Eternity, Billy was chosen by the wizard Shazam to become the new champion of mankind; bestowing extraordinary power by speaking the wizard's name; transforming the boy into the adult Shazam, a hero possessing 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 (S.H.A.Z.A.M.).

Involvement

Shazam can be found with other magic users socializing in the Oblivion Bar.
Shazam is a playable character for Legends PvP and Legends PvE.

Heroes

Shazam initiates the Level 25 mission thread that takes place in and around Gotham University to stop Black Adam and Felix Faust from raising Adam's deceased wife, Isis, from the grave.
Shazam rewards flying characters with emblem styles by email for achieving platinum medals in flight races around Gotham and Metropolis.

Shazam appears randomly as an opponent in the Police Station Tier 3 Duo.

Trivia

Shazam first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 (February 1940).
Shazam is voiced by Shannon McCormick.
Although looking like an adult as Shazam, Billy is actually not much older than Robin.
In keeping with then-comic-book-canon; Shazam was originally named "Captain Marvel" in DC Universe Online, however, in mid-2012 DC Comics requested that DC Universe Online change his name to Shazam in order to keep the character up to date with his comic book reboot. As such, in his The Last Laugh T3 Duo appearance he is named Shazam, however, in all other in-game appearances he is still named "Captain Marvel".
