So What SHOULD He Be Called?

While I’m partial to The Big Red Cheese :cheese: It so fits.

However Valarem I can get behind. It’s not that hard to pronounce, both Val & Rem could be used as shortened versions. It pays homage to the canonical character history. I’ve never been a fan of any character being given a military rank title who never was in the military. Captain Atom was called that because he was a captain in the military.

I think Mary should still get to be Mary Marvel (alliteration!). Trying to make all 6 kids have a Shazam or Thunder name seems unnecessary. Also, Freddy being Jr. doesn’t make sense in this group - he’s older than 2 or 3 of the other kids, and he’s an adult after transforming.

Why is Captain a thing, anyway? There are plenty of other ranks and yet heroes and many villains gravitate towards the Captain title. Is there some military significance to this or is everybody copying Captain America?

I like Shazam, its quick, clean, an acronym for all the gods.

Captain is a thing because it connotes leadership in a variety of contexts (you can captain a vehicle or a team without being a military captain).

In line with Black Adam (and DC loves their colors), perhaps Red Bill? Red Bat(son)?

I do like Captain Thunder. The movie had Red Cyclone, which ain’t half bad.

Red Thunder?

@AntLeon

Color coded Shazams!

Shazam-Red
Shazam-Blue
Shazam-Green
Shazam-Purple
Shazam-Silver
And Shazam Girl! (Since Mary wears red, also. Though she could go back to her all white costume and be Shazam-White)

On the 70s Shazam show they have on here, Mentor called him “Marvel” which actually belies their familiarity with each other

Shazam works, just change the magic word for everyone who wants to. Let the rest of the Marvel family choose their own identity it isn’t like the uniform doesn’t let you know they’re together. I don’t know why captain marvel jr. never changed his magic word cause not being able to say your own name is several different kinds of stupid.
