I would say so. PC Mordru was a beast, and Post-Crisis, he was able to take on Shazam and basically shrug off his attacks while both were in the ROE. Umar's around Dormy's level, IIRC, and I don't think that's enough here.
first Mordru was A LOT more powerful than Shazam to the point he could laugh off Shazam's best attacks.
second Mordru as he said used sleight of hand and tricked Shazam. Personally I think he actually just redirected Shazam's blast to sever the bonds of the ROE and break his prison. I don't know if he's really powerful enough to tank that kind of blast.
In any case I would have liked to see him fight the Spectre.

just because you dont like it doesn't mean its PIS
My personal opinion had nothing to do with said conclusion. That I can assure you.

and regarding magic characters...they can be quite inconsistent...tis the very nature of magic.
