Shazam family vs Superman family

composite feats post crisis and onward

I don't recall if the Shazam family have their power shared or not. If they do, I can't see them winning unless I've missed something.

Yeah, sorry, I meant to be more specific. Johns changed a few things with the New 52, and I couldn't recall if the power sharing was one of them, like MrMind mentioned.

Well assuming the Shazam family doesn't power share and are all roughly the same level, it seems they've got the advantage. They outnumber the Superman family and the Superman family have Krypto and Chris. Krypto has the feats that he can at least hold his own, but he's also a dog so he might make mistakes. But I think them having Chris is the bigger disadvantage given he was.....8? Or something. Even if he's powerful enough to compete(something I question given he's a kid) I doubt he'll have the mental fortitude to do this.

But then seeing Chris or even Kara hurt could have Superman go HAM and wreck them.

Also I'm making this argument assuming not just that the Shazam family both don't power share, are all comparable in power, but also are similar levels as Pre-FLASHPOINT. I don't know if current Superman has fought Shazam (or anybody in the family) since merging back with New 52 Superman, or even at before. L But given what I remember of New 52 Superman fighting Shazam it would seem Shazam indeed is inferior to his Captain Marvel predecessor. Unless Superman is more powerful than before.

I remember during CONVERGENCE he was holding his own against the FLASHPOINT Cyborg, GL(Abin), and Captain Thunder, with a distraction from Jimmy Olsen helping (or did he hit them with those blasts?) but then wrecked when Lois needed help. And that would be half Superman's current power. But also not the same character as Shazam, yet contributes to making me think the gap has widened.

Krypto soloes though.

I missed the composite part. So I'm guessing at least the Shazam family (at least Billy/Mary/Freddy) will be on par with Pre-FLASHPOINT even if Post-FLASHPOINT arguably lowers the average. Still makes power sharing a big question, and what about the other 3? Who are they, and what is their source? Is power sharing a thing for all 6?

Ah, **** it.

Ridiculous spite against the Shazam family. A better matchup would be the Batman family and even then, they'd lose.

Superman family 10/10.

They really have fallen that much?
