Scenario, Where Billy Is Working At The Whiz Station And During A Halloween Party He Was Forced Encouraged

Scenario, where Billy is working at the Whiz station and during a Halloween party he was forced encouraged to wear a kids sized Captain Marvel costume and had his hair done to be slicked back too for the full look.

Naturally, he was not happy about it at all so when they had a group photo of everyone in costumes you just have this grumpiest kid at the front dressed as the happiest man alive so people start to also refer to him as Grumpy Marvel instead of Whiz Kid and the popularity of the photo just spirals out of control.

Billy is anything but happy about it, and he genuinely almost lost his shit when someone in the League mentioned the photo.

Maybe someone you follow was reblogging it?

Kinda funny because I had this manga about half dragon girl constantly on my page, too, and unless I got the wrong person, I think it was actually you that was reblogging it all the time for a while 😂

What did I reblog that's getting me recommended nothing but sonic the hedgehog blogs

one of those fics where Black Adam finds out billy is a child and forcefully adopts him but instead of being opposed to the idea he visibly relaxes and hands him a 200,000 word hand written copy of his fake alien backstory complete with diagrams and 7 fake languages

I have this headcanon that Billy ages slowly right? Born like 100 years ago and still a child bla bla bla-

Anywas-that is kinda just a base for many diferent concepts I come up for Billy. One of them being the "Whiz Kid Conspericy"tm

Basically it gose like this. Whiz kid is a special thing the station dose every few year at the turn of every new decade. The character of a child reporter is played by many diffrent little boy's through out the years all playing the character of "Billy", each one lasting for a few years before leaving for his birthday party and coming back a few years later replaced by a new kid and now one year older and a persona shift to match the new decade claming "I got a new style on my break". The catch? Its actually just Billy pretending to be a new person everytime.

Sure, some people know like Mr. Sterling and maybe a reporter or two, but no one else knows its the same kid. Which leads to a lot of conspiricy theorys about who the actors where or how the station picks their kids or hiw rye heck the kids look so similar. This end up being one of the things that bring Billy the most joy and pain, cause everyone knows of his exsistance with it being so ingrained into Fawcetts culture, but Its also super fun for him to disapear and come back as a new person every decade. Sure fhere where a few times where the station was handed over to a new owner and they tried to make the "Whiz Kid brand" more active with merch and dirty profiting schems, but and adult Cissie and Billy managed to take care of that quickly.

This idea works best if the people of Fawcett aged normally but if you want, you can also just imagien half of the city is in on it while the other have no clue.

Its even funnier imagening the JL's reaction to what Billy has been doing for almost a centry.

Batman: let me get this straight, you convince multiple generations of people you where different people playing the same character?

Billy: It Was Funny!

Superman a.k.a Clark the reporter:...Yk, I used to listen to your radio segments back in the 80's

Billy a.k.a the teenager emberrassed about past works: Nooooooo, the 80's was such a bad time! My mircophone was horrible and my script was terrible

Superman: But it was so good!

Thank you for indulging my bullshit, I might draw Billy during the diffrent decades or maybe a time line later.

A video from Fawcett goes viral, where an anvil falls on Captain Marvel. The anvil stops at Captain's head with a loud anvil sound and then cracks all the way up from the point of contact and splits in two, both halves then fall on the ground. Marvel seemed unaware of the anvil until the very end when the split anvil hit the ground.

Captain then proceeds to look around, pick the anvil halves and put them together before putting it to the side of the sidewalk

Or alternatively

He looks around and picks the building up before using his foot to brush the anvil halves under it before casually putting the building back down and acting (and failing) like nothing happened

Fawcett Toon Headcanon

1.Billy grew up with silly cartoons (he usually sneaks into a movie theater to see the cartoons or watch them in diner tvs ), slapstick comics that he'd found in the trashcans or the small comic strips that would often accompany the newspaper he sells.

By the time Billy Became Captain Marvel, Magic became more common in fawcett city, but Billy's childhood influenced the type of magic and creatures that enters into fawcett city

like more incidence of slapstick humors and talking animals, certain cats being immune to anvils being dropped on their head. Random falling objects like potted plants wrere common that Fawcett tried to ban leaving anything on windowsills. Sadly, it only cause other things to fall off like safes and pianos, so they had to rewrite that ban

2.In comparison, Black Adam grew up with egyptian mythology and folktales, the moment he became Black Adam, khandaq began to have its own share of magical creatures, for better or for worse

3.Another reason why some heroes dont like getting near fawcett city, the irl toon logic is jarring to watch.

On TV: *piano falls on Tom*

Captain Marvel: "Oh yeah, I remember watching that happen to a cat once. They sang Mozard for a week."

Everyone non-fawcett: "wtf"

Thanks for potato mutual for suggesting some of the ideas :D!

Marvel's looks

So you know how it is at least an older canon established that Billy as Marvel looks like his dad or at least what he remembers his dad to look like? I personally lean into a second option of how he remembers his dad because it makes it more interesting plus it helps with the whole awkwardness of him looking like a semi-random or completely random (depends what canon you're going for) dead dude.

So here's the differences I see Billy as Captain having compared to his dad or things that come from his dad's little quirks!

Height: Billy remembers his dad as being massive because he himself was a tiny baby boy. So yeah. Marvel isn't a walking 6'4" feet tall dude because that's his "peak" or whatever but that's how tall comparatively Billy's dad looked like to him at when he was like 4 vs 8 years old.

Build: CC was the strongest man Billy has ever known. He could lift all of them: his mom, his sister and him; proudly proclaiming he is holding his entire universe in his arms. So naturally he was super strong which called for super muscles! So that's why Marvel is build like a tank while CC most likely had a healthy amount muscles from excavating and such but nowhere as much as Marvel and unlike Marvel would've also had a solid amount of extra squish too (we stand dad bods, lmao).

Cleanliness: You know how a decent amount of people have Marvel have a neat self-cleaning option that just comes with the magic form? I personally like the perpetually perfect hairstyle from one of the fanfics I read that joked about it. Even if this might not be something I'll always use to it's maximum extend. Either way. I like to think that the cleanliness of Captain Marvel comes from the fact that CC liked to be overall clean and put together when seeing people or generally outside around the public and generally portray himself as professional: as in wearing full business in casual business because he likes the feeling wearing a suit gives him (Yeah, I see CC to be a weirdo actually enjoying suits and his wife finds it to be an extremely adorable quirk she loves because they both get to be the dressed to the nines couple!)

Face: OK so this one is going to have a bit of sub bits here because I gave CC glasses. I know when he is shown he usually doesn't have them but I have a reason for it and I'll get to it:

4.1. Nose: The shape is different from CC's simply because glasses hide a decent portion of the nose bridge depending on what sort of glasses you get. But generally the bridge would be a bit larger for Marvel.

4.2. Eyes: So you know how in older depictions of Marvel he always squints? You know when people also squint? When they're trying to see better! So yeah for me Marvel has a perpetual squint because he doesn't wear glasses unlike his dad. Who, whenever he took them off, also squinted to see (sometimes exaggerating it to make his kids laugh). So Marvel's form subconsciously squints since there's no glasses on his nose. lol.

4.3. Also eyes: Additionally since CC wears glasses and squints when he takes them off, his vision has to be decently bad. You know what happens when you wear strong glasses? They warp your face. So additionally Marvel has smaller eyes then CC would've had. :P

So yeah that's all I have for now but might edit it if I ever come up with more things like that. If you like the concept feel free to either use it or add to it. This is all a complete fanon. It's for complete funnsies. But I would still like to hear what you think about it!
