Yes they do, but I mean look at Mary Marvel an Lt Marvel she either
using Greek/Roman gods or Egyptian ones, while the Lt Marvels are using
Greek/Roman gods, so why not give each of them their own set of gods!

All I am saying here is Captain Marvel can keep the Greek/Roman gods,
while Black Adam keeps the Egyptians gods, and Captain Marvel Junior
gets his own set of different gods, same with the 3 Lt Marvels, they
each would get different gods, an same with Mary Marvel, she would have
her own set of different gods, while Hoppy The Captain Marvel Bunny
would retain his Animal Gods, he get his power, this deal could work
with rest of Black Marvel familly, on each having different sets of
gods!!

This is what happens when you mess around with a simple concept. Same
problems as red sun/yellow sun or galactic guardians.

I think you're running out of gods.
What if someone draws all six power categories from the One True God?
We'll abbreviate him as "O", for "One". Then his champion's magic
word would have to be "Oooooo".

Yeah, right away, this shows me you have no understanding of Captain
Marvel comics, and are just wanking around in a dumb way like a DC
editor or the producer of a low-budget adaptation, wondering why he
can't make the Hulk red.
Captain Marvel gets his powers from Captain Marvel, because he's
Captain Marvel JUNIOR, get it?

With one unspeakable word, Captain Horror gains the lurking vengence
of Cthulhu, the unfathomable madness of Hastur, the uncountable forms
of Aphoom-Zhah, the geometry of Arwassa, and the undying, eldritch
strength M'Nagalah the Eternal!

I'm not all that familiar with the chronology of the Marvel family but
I believe there is a Showcase Presents Shazam book out...possibly even
more than one volume.

Hokey smokes, I'd read that in a heartbeat! It'd be a gajillion times
better than the Hal Jordan Spectre.

I've already had a dream where I turned into Captain Horror. An
online comic book is usually not far behind. Creator credit to

Someone may have already covered this, but originially in the old
continuity, Captain Marvel, Black Adam, and Mary Marvel all had individual
gods to arrive their powers. Mary Marvel's powers arrived from 6 goddesses,
that I couldn't name off hand.
I don't know how it is on New-Earth, but that is how it was on Earth-S.

Actually when you look at it, they are not ALL gods...
Solomon was a Human Being in the Bibical Age. The one True God offered him
anything he want and all he wanted was 'Wisdom'.
Archilles was a Spartan soldier that was undeatable until he received an
arrow through his heel.
Atlas was actually a Titan that was ordered by Zeus to hold the World as
punishment.
Zeus was indeed a Greek God
Hercules was a Demi-God
Mercury was a Roman God
So when you put it all together, Shazam could barrow characters from other
religions like Scavanavian Gods (Odin/Waton, Thor/Tror/Doner, Balder, etc.)
, or Muslims (Mahammad, Ali, etc.), and mix them all together.

I wonder which Gods do Hoppy's powers arrive from?
Green Hornet
Marvel is when Fawcett went under?

He's appeared in Zoo Crew: The Oz Wonderland War and Power of Shazam #29,
so yes. (Or if not, his status is so unclear they can get away with it.)

The last couple of issues of Hoppy were published by Charlton, weren't
they?

wrote:
Yes, Charlton bought the rights to all the characters from Hoppy's
title, Funny Animals, and continued that series for seven more issues
(though for some reason they removed the lightning bolt and changed
his name from Marvel Bunny to Magic Bunny). DC ended up essentially
buying the rights to Hoppy from Charlton when they bought the other
Charlton characters.

DC only bought a few specific Charlton Characters that Dick Giordano

I read somewhere that when DC went to Fawcett to get the rights to
Captain Marvel- they couldn't find anyone there who remembered they
used to publish comics- or knew what the status of the rights was.
Some there thought they had already transferred the rights when they
settled the lawsuit.
