All 6 Of Shazam"s Powers Explained

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! (2019), a movie mostly inspired by the New 52 iteration of the character. One of the most powerful beings in the DC Universe, Shazam has yet to showcase the full extent of his abilities on the big screen.
One key aspect of the New 52 rendition of Shazam that was incorporated into the DCEU movie was the addition of the Shazam Family, sometimes known as the Marvel Family. Though Shazam! was an origin story told through Billy Batson’s point of view, the film introduced and gave powers to the Shazam family right away. Shazam!’s final battle involved Billy and his family taking on the Seven Deadly Sins, which by itself was a testament to how powerful Shazam is – the Shazam Family is powered by Billy, after all. Here is a breakdown of Shazam’s powers in the DCEU, all of which stem from a different entity or mythological figure.
