ART! Mary Marvel.

An interesting mini series from @docshaner and @cozyjamble, which in my opinion is a GREAT diamond find if you can find it! Here’s my take and there ya go.

EDIT: Thanks to keen eyes of some followers, I failed to also tag @babsbutcher for the inspiration. She’s a FANTASTIC cosplayer and deserves all the follows!

A Somewhat darker and edgier Fawcett Comics AU.

Skimmed through New Champion of Shazam #3 and they mentioned the missing people on the posters were homeless people who were trying to survive. Which made me think about a second Fawcett Comics AU where Billy stumbles upon a homeless camp where versions of the Fawcett heroes living there are trying to help everyone try to get a stable job and housing and they're nicknamed "The Squadron of Justice" for their street-level activism. (Not to mention Brian Butler did get fired from his job and had to literally travel across America searching for jobs alongside Pinky in Wow Comics.)

Cap should be allowed to teleport to the rock with his transformation lightning. I mean that's where it's coming from, after all.

He would use it to get out of so many situations XD.

Batman: captain, do you have a minute to stay after this meeting?

Billy, going to be late for school if he doesn't hup to: um haha sorry the wizard wants me back at the rock I'm already pushing it hahaSHAXAM

The wizard, looking up from his orb: *raises an eyebrow*

Cap, transforming back with more lightning and rushing for his bag: I'm sorry I'm sorry Mrs Ermine is going to KILL me if I'm late again this week!

The wizard, to his rapidly retreating back: this is the seventh time this month you've used me as an excuse.

Billy, halfway down the hall of sins, voice echoing: I said I'm sorrrryyyyyyy!!

Batman, left all the way on the watchtower: :|

Bouncing in here like a madman again

Do you think Captain Marvel (seperate from Billy) considers the Wizard SHAZAM as their father as a sort of creator and creation relationship? Giving room for Billy and grandpa wizard relationship kinda?

I've had a lot of sugar today, so I'm not sure how that sounds, but I kept thinking about your fic, "Split", and how if things took a different turn and Captain Marvel revealed he existed because of the Wizard, would the JL come to the assumption that the wizard was his father/Billy's grandfather?

Or if things took an angstier turn, if Captain Marvel let slip accidentally that he didn't believe that the death of Billy's mother (and actual father) was a genuine accident/had suspicions about it, how would they react? Would they suspect the wizard bc of all the suspicions they're having? Also, I'm not sure if I remember, but did the JL get to have a conversation with the wizard?

Kinda factors into that one ask I sent before, where the gods killed the parents of the champions of magic to challenge and prepare them without them knowing, which might include the wizard, too. (Sorry, I re watched the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 recently and it's been doing numbers on my little mind)

In all seriousness you could write an AU for your fics and we'd eat it all up and ask for seconds because your writing creates a universe of wonder for us.

That was a lot, wow :0

Okay first of all you are so sweet! It's driving me crazy (in a good way) that I can discuss AUs of my fics!

I think that the Wizard already plays a sort of wise grandfather figure to Billy (in my preferred version of him) regardless of Captain Marvel's feelings towards the Wizard.

But I think it's totally logical for Captain Marvel to think of the Wizard as a creator figure, especially in his current incarnation since it was just Shazam who made him instead of a full Wizard's Council. There's respect between them, but Marvel also wants to make Shazam proud, wants to prove he's a good Champion. And I think that can translate to a father-son type dynamic even if it's a lot more complicated than that.

If we're talking Split in particular, the JL "met" the Wizard but Shazam didn't bother talking to any of them so their many confusions and suspicions didn't get brought up to him directly.

But if they had reason to believe Shazam was Marvel’s father, Flash in particular would have been having a freak out because the Wizard would have gone from possibly sketchy mentor to controlling and possibly abusive father/grandfather. He might have even had more people on his side if that was the case (especially if we add in the idea that the Batsons were killed as some kind of test of Billy’s pure heart).

There would still be those who insist that they shouldn't get in the middle of their complicated and potentially messy family situation. But there would also be those who wonder if Marvel had a choice in becoming a hero if his father was the one who imbued him with his powers because it was his "destiny". I can definitely picture Marvel bluescreening if someone asked him if he'd had a choice in being a hero (he didn't, and Billy didn't either) or if he'd ever wanted something else for himself (it had never occurred to him that he could be anything else because he was created to fight evil). His answer would definitely send up some red flags to whoever he's talking to.

There are so many cool ways having people think Shazam is Marvel’s father could play out and it would be so fun to explore that.

And since you mentioned it, while I don’t currently have plans to write an AU of my fics, I AM completely open to other people writing AUs of my fics if they are inspired enough to do it! So long as you credit me as the original author/check the Inspired By box when you post, I encourage you to go for it!

Omg hello " Diana adopts Billy actually" comrade!!! You wouldn't happen to have any headcanons abt them would you???? [Sneakily shows off the money tucked in my sleeve]

*puts on my headcanon hat* why yes i do fellow comrade

-Diana trains Billy in sword fighting and other forms of combat in case he ever loses his powers or has to fight as a civilian. “It’s best to have a well rounded fighting repertoire my dear” “Of course hydra slaying is a necessary skill. I slayed my first at seven years old!”

- Diana sends Mary and Darla for a summer abroad in Themiscyra to be trained and to learn about the Gods and other stuff. Darla learns how to ride a horse while there and is obsessed.

- Zeus sometimes sends Diana messages though the fam. Like Billy will randomly be like “oh yeah ur dad says that u need to go defeat the chimera again lol he escaped”

- She gets Freddy some really cool Amazonian made crutches that are magic and have weapons in them

- Freddy and Eugene teach her how to play video games and she’s surprisingly good at them. Friday Mario Cart battles ensue.

- Pedro and Diana trade recipes and the whole fam cooks together!!

- The JLA has a bring your kids to work day and Diana and Bruce have a stare down

- Diana having technically adopted more than Bruce with six kids to his five and it amuses the others to no end

- She’s very active in the PTA

- Diana buys a new apartment in Fawcett so that the kids won’t have to move. It’s huge and really nice and all the neighbors are like “Wonder Woman?!?!”

- She shows up to all awards ceremonies, performances, science fairs, and parent-teacher conferences.

I finally finished New Champion of Shazam and I loved it. Espeically as Josie Campbell is great at getting what makes Mary tick. I would love to see more battles between her and Dr. Georgia Sivana and see her become friends with the homeless people she saved. I think Darla would ADORE Uncle Dudley. :)
