It's also hard for me to imagine KT's energy attacks being ineffectual, considering his mere eye-blasts were capable of slagging Wolverine's skeleton and Cap's shield... But that's neither here nor there.
I don't know if Cap learns how to combat it later with his own magic abilities, but for all his strength and total invulnerability, he is not immune to transmutation.
A witch, (Circe) was able to turn half of his lower body into a Goat. Turning back into Billy and turning Cap once again undoes it, but if he was transformed into a goat entirely he wouldn't even be able to say Shazam.
Oh well, transmutation is still ghey. And Thor being not ghey in the least, would not try a ghey tactic such as that. Word.
Jesus christ man Cap may lose due to various miscellaneous factors like Transmutation or BFR, but he sure as hell isn't getting hurt physically by King Thor, skyfather be damned.
I just read him purposefully setting off an alien torpedo powerful enough to explode the sun, making it go Nova, and he tanked it point blank. This isn't one of those situations where characters tank big cosmic things but still get paradoxically hurt by building wreckers, oh no. Cap is simply that damn invulnerable all the time, he has even fought perfect clones of himself and they couldn't do anything to each other than budge each other's footing a little bit. They constantly beat it over your head with the narration that he can tank ANY destructive force.
Tanked an alternate Earth blowing up too while he was at the very epicenter of the exploding proton bomb that caused its destruction.
Went into and out of a blackhole as well with not a sign discomfort in the least, he even said its only because he is completely indestructible that he could do it.
Yeah, SHAZAM admitted he couldn't harm Black Adam back in those days. Cap Marvel has resisted transmutation, Post crisis. He resisted Shadow Thief in turning him into a shadow and the bomb that turned Billy inside out.
No way Thor will even dent Marvel. Best bet is BFR, but Cap can speed blitz before he gets any attacks off.
Several characters have endured nova-esque explosions. Beta Ray Bill, Superman, and Surfer are the first who come to mind. So while it might be an impressive feat for Cap, it certainly doesn't deserve wankage like this.
GA Cap was awesome. However, he is certainly not without his low feats.
Except I already accounted for what you said. It's basically just a trope with comics. Those guys can tank big things when they happen but still get hurt by far far less, and bleed by far far less. So you are forced to find an average. It's almost like its some sort of Word wrap function, when the words/damage gets to the very end of the margin (their threshold for pain) it suddenly wraps to the next line and they remain in tact when they shouldn't. Always lolworthy.
None of them are narrated to be totally invulnerable all the time and none of them would be able to stand and trade punches with each other without being hurt and bleeding. Cap is guaranteed would be able to stand and trade punches with them without being hurt by virtue of doing so against Clones of himself, and Black Adam, as well as Oggar another Shazam desciple with the same powers as him. He simply does not bleed. And its not some comic code restriction either because they have shown blood several times.
And GA Cap's low feats that I've seen thus far have had nothing to do with invulnerability or strength, those things are consistent. It has had to do with miscellaneous things like sometimes gasses not affecting him and some do, or being transmutated by Circe into a goat.

^ Aside from what you mentioned, I've seen missiles affect him, I've seen mutated bats affect him, I've seen Magnificus affect him, I've even seen him bound by chains. Etc.
Every character has lower showings. Cap is no exception.
