Billy Batson the homeless kid from Fawcett City first, and Captain Marvel second (my take)

Unpopular, and probably a bad take but as someone who read Alex Dogboy as a child and wants to re-read it asap, I like the interpretations of Captain Marvel in which Billy Batson is homeless for a good while before falling back into care. I even got a whole image in my head for why he doesn’t want to return to cps and try to get a foster family.

Let’s say his parents die, and it’s a horrible trauma and Billy is NOT okay, he’s 13 when it happens and then jumps from home to home for a while, his experiences being mediocre until he gets ONE parent that tries doing something unspeakable to him (insert social commentary on how unsafe the foster system is) and he runs away. From that point on, he lives on the streets.

And he has it BAD.

I’m not a fan of angst, and suffering of characters, especially young doesn’t bring me any kind of joy but I like seeing a character survive. Fight against the cruel environment they live in, against horrible odds, and celebrate small victoires like there is no tomorrow. Holding onto those victories to not loose yourself.

A successful shoplifting mission, something useful found while dumpster diving, nimbly avoiding criminal gangs, both big and small on his way "home" (which is an abandoned building apartment in a bad part of town).

I don’t want Billy to have it bad per ce, but I want the comics to really EXPLORE how difficult it gets, living in the streets as a child that needs love and care, but has to stay vigilant because in this world, any adult could hurt you. I want an entire comics issue just about Billy surviving in that world, getting by day by as autumn slowly changes to winter and it gets progressively colder. I want the comics to delve into his struggles before he get a a power that will make his life easier, because it’ll amplify the magic of seeing him get powers of the gods.

I want to see him be crude and swear like he so often does in the modern versions of the character, and then deliberately steal food to feed cats. He might see a flower shop owner getting harassed while she’s bringing her newly arrived plants inside and then walk behind the guy who bugs her to punch him square in the jaw. He’s not perfect, he has put up walls to protect himself, but it’s these instinctive acts of kindness (though rough around the edges) make the wizard choose him. He’s desperate and Billy is, again, NOT perfect, but he has potential, and it’s all that matters.

I want to see all of what I’ve written above play a big role and impact Captain Marvel’s every decision as a hero. Not just his childhood naivety and teenage brashness, but his trauma and bad experiences. I want to see him interact with the league in line with his background.

And I want him to fall in love with Rosa. I want to see him warm up to the idea of having a parent again, of having a family once more. I want her to be a small business owner, maybe if that’s that same flower shop and maybe it’s not going very well but she’s happy and she has her foster kids, until one day she gets harassed by a creepy stranger in front of her shop and a boy from the streets delivers him a clean left hook for it.

They see each other around, Billy is clearly homeless, and she buys him takeout. After that, he, akin to a cat, slowly eases into a friendship with her and eventually falls into this inner crisis because he’s afraid of loosing a parent again and adults have hurt him before, he’s scared but Rosa’s smile is so genuine and he feels so incredibly safe around her he just can’t resist showing up at her shop, eventually helping her out and then getting a part-time job there, which helps him get bare necessities without stealing.

I want Billy to choose to make that terrifying leap because he trusts that Rosa will catch him, and then he can have the new plot with being introduced into her family, his new siblings and dad (Victor).

Adventures of Captain Marvel, all the insane stuff he can do is absolutely cool and I totally want to read that, but I’m just saying that his adventures would feel so much more magical and amazing if the writers leaned into the darker aspects of his story more often.

That’s just my take tho idk, might delete later 🤷

Hello Billy Batson Fans

I’m looking for that one tumble post that jokes about how Captain Marvel says he draws power from the Greek gods and then lists like 2 Greek gods, 2 Roman gods, and teh 5 most problematic men of the Mesopotamian. And also says taht the reason that he needs to be pure of heart is to counteract the grimyness of the power sources.

If anyone has a link to it/a pic pls reply

HII!!! EDIT!!! Thank you @markus209 for finding a link to the image!!!

If the image link doesn’t work someone tell me idk how to use this webbed site

Quick Billy Batson design✨

I love the idea of Billy being a street kid rather than a foster kid who jumps from home to home, so I tried creating a little rougher design for him than what is usually offered in official comics.

Here, he not only has a big scar from what we can presume must have been a fight or a bad accident, as well as a bruise, but also longer hair to accentuate how unkept he is, as a boy who lives in a hostile environment and therefore rarely has access to basic necessities. It's long, it's matted, it's unbrushed and looks like a rat's nest, which could add to the visual storytelling.

Another detail are boots, which are clearly not his, clearly not new, and clearly way too big for him. Not much to say about them except that they were added to give a bigger glimpse into how Billy has to survive by making due with whatever is accessible to him, not having much of a choice.

But yeah, that's all 🤷 not saying this design is better than the cannon, it's just a little exploration!

thought be funny like the spider man upisde down kiss scene if billy and marcus hanging on the monkey bars at a park, and marcus hangs upisde down with his tail, and playfully teasing billy on the ground making smooching noises 'hey look! just like that one movie'

Billy Batson in Teen Titans style! inspired by @cerealboxlore's post. I've always loved orig Teen Titans style so this was super fun to design.

magical fairy patrons (The Fairly OddParents) for Billy Batson? Even if he has the power of Shazam, does he count as miserable if he is homeless?

Wait a minute. You’re onto something. I don’t know how fairies would work in the DC universe, so let’s just say if Billy was from the FoP universe, he would probably get Fairy Godparents.

What if the wizard guy was a fairy actually. That sounds kinda stupid but I’m really grasping at straws to figure out how this would work. Uh, DC and FoP fandoms, how would you do a crossover like this?

[hyperfixatedfandomer]

Two peas in a pod

Summary: (Inspired by numerous fanfictions exploring the concept of Billy Batson being a trans boy.)

Billy feels more destroyed and alienated than ever now that his secret identity had just been accidentally revealed, but the the person he’d never think of steps in to open up his heart to the boy, and let the two of them be outsiders together.

Mary continues the climb as Y/N floats behind her…

Y/N: so why are you doing this again?

Mary: for the same reason you didn’t leave the couch for a week

Y/N: Ah. A sense of accomplishment. Carry on. Love you.

Mary: baby?

Y/N: yeah?

Mary: I’m scared. Can you help me?

Y/N: sure

billy would flat out tell the jl that hes ten and they wouldnt believe him assuming hes joking, only to be mad when they find out bc he "didnt tell them,"

[shouehara]

I took another crack at drawing Shazam/Billy Batson inspired by a sketch I did roughly a few months ago. Drawing will be in my shop.
