freddy's older than billy.
it's not the same thing. superman dresses up as clark kent (and there are two clarks). marvel actually transforms in to billy.
1. It's easier to disguise yourself when your alter ego looks nothing like your superhero form. Besides, the its a two tiered question. Real World and Comic world. In the real world you won't have to worry about being a 16 year old boy because you aren't one. All the shit that goes on with magic? As opposed to being quite vulnerable to it and having many widely known weaknesses that a great number of high end energy manipulators can use against you?
2. That is until Billy starts pushing himself too. And then its square one again in the physical stats department. That's not imo. That's just real.
If you just like Supes' various powers more, cool. I do too actually.

1. so we're not billy batson then? we're as we are?
and superman deals with magic fine. plus, he has more ranged abilities, heightened senses etc.
2. that's your opinion.

Captain Marvel lacks the ultra high end physical feats of Superman. Their fights (where Superman almost always holds back) are the only things that suggest he's Superman's physical peer.

1. He has more abilities, but he also has far more weaknesses to exploit. Evens out for me. He doesn't do 'fine'. He gets through it with grit and skill because he's Superman, but he can't no sell it, not even close.2. Nope.
Plus Billy also has the weakness of being a human boy half the time, a human who's neck is quite easy to snap.

he has kryptonite and red sun. and he's beaten plenty of people using those methods even while fighting fair. i wouldn't. magic isn't inherently dangerous to superman. he does fine against magic users too, again while fighting fair.
yes. superman has showings of amping himself more than most heroes, especially in DC. you'd have to prove billy can do the same.

cap is also highly resistant/immune to magic Superman was also envious of that ability when he was unable to tank or defeat a magic creature which was barfing on superman and superman was getting knocked around by its excrement energy.
i mean you gotta be pretty weak to magic to be knocked around by some magic gimp tossin/flinging his poop at you.
Captain Marvel can also see and interact with the magic world which exist along side the current world/dimension.
unless i am stuck with Captain Marvel's personality i shouldnt be hampered by range since magic knowledge and power of zeus should allow me to overcome such limitation via magic.
when it comes to invulnerability CM is least likely to die due to Magic construct body.

You'll forgive him since he doesn't have even a third as many appearances. That's not a problem since Cap holds back in those situations as well. Not really, we also have statements of characters and writers drilled into our head over and over again and again, (that people like to dismiss when it doesn't suit them), as well as him dealing with Superman rougues once in awhile. Word of god(writers) say more often than not, that they are completely equal. Not merely 'comparable' as MM or many others might be praised as, but equal. Superman and Cap lifting the 'book with infinite pages' together says more than enough about their strength relative to each other.

he still has to transform to use it effectively.
and superman has beaten plenty of enemies that marvel couldn't. it goes both ways.
he's not weak against magic. he's vulnerable to it. not the same thing.
and?
