The Trials of Shazam

Started by Jimmy-Chan11 pages

Yes.

BTW, most of what a certain number of people there say about me and my arguments are either strawmans or out of context quotes. For instance, I never said Doomsday feared Darkseid because of "eyeknobs" and I've always maintained that the CM/Kalibak fight was even (with a slight CM edge at the end) Just FYI, before you start bringing that stuff up. They are pretty insane when it comes to finding ways to discredit Darkseid (or several other DC villains, in fact)

Back to the topic, sort of ... My stance on WW is that she's a high-end second tier, like Barda, Namor, Wonder Man, Iron Man, etc. She can hang with the top tiers, but is generally the underdog ... Despite her "second to" statements (and really, J'onn himself has some "equal to Superman" statements -- Captain Atom has even been called DC's #1 before)

The fact that WW tends to utilize her skill rather than slug it out with the top tiers, along with how Superman's dominated her physically (ditto a White Martian, ditto weakened CM in Underworld Unleashed, ditto Etrigan during War of The Gods) confirms IMO that her strength is probably slightly above The Thing, but below J'onn. Maybe equal to Namor, Barda, Powergirl, Captain Atom, or Wonder Man.

Read it and really enjoyed it! Great artwork and glad Zatana was in the first issue.

Marvel with only a portion of the gods powers wouldn't be able to hang with Supes. CM doesn't literally get Solomon's, Herc's, Atlas's, Zeus's, Achilles and Mercury's powers from the individuals, but get bestowed with their abilities.

Agreed. He couldn't possibly match Superman with just a portion of their power. I always thought they gave him a magical duplicate of their power, so to speak. Like when Odin created a duplicate of mjolnir in stormbreaker, for Beta Ray Bill to possess. I don't think the Gods are without power while Billy is using theirs.
The only other explanation is the the Gods are even more freakingly powerful, and giving a portion is enough.

Still not a reason to post the issue here...

The reason being, Winnick has said there would be two Hercules running around. One of magic realm that gave his strength to CM and one of mythical realm that shows up on WW.

Wich is why i wanted to see how is the one showing up in the WW title, since it still hasent reached here. Clear-o?

Well, congratulations. You just named him.

i didn't know winick said that..

yep "Clear-o" 🙂

Yeah and i want to see how they actually pull that one off. We all know how the wonderful Greek/Roman difference was threated way back at DC.

It's been clearly stated in WOTG that Billy gets a portion of the power of the Gods. I think it's the fact that he can combined them (like Atlas and Hercules' strength combined) or amp them with "the power of Zeus" that allows for him to equal Superman.

Still haven't been to the comic shop recently, so I can't comment on this story.

Thank-o

Number 2 is out. I was under the impression that Billy was going to be the new Shazam, but he says in this one that Freddy is.

Freddy is Shazam in name only. Billy is the one with the power.

What is Billy going to call himself then? I thought I heard "King Marvel" mentioned somewhere, but I have no idea where.

King Marvel is the name Freddy used in Kingdom Come.

Billy is calling himself Marvel.

anyone have trials of shazam#2?

Him and freddy talked for a while so there were pics of them talking, but no real action shots yet.
