TW: Me ranting

You know what's the most infuriating thing that Shazam the wizard did? He didn't teach Billy anything about magic!!! Like he's a wizard that chooses someone with no prior knowledge of anything magical to be the protector of the Rock of Eternity, the source of all magic in existence, and doesn't teach him anything! Not even about different types of magic, magical creatures, or special places and as a result Captain Marvel barely does anything with magic, he relies on his other abilities. This is why people compare him to Superman all the time, if they just developed his skills beyond his super strength, durability, and flying people would separate them. "But it would make Captain Marvel too OP ☹️" first off a lot of characters are already over powered in the DC universe and secondly this would mean we could focus more on Billy's life being a child that's homeless/in a big foster family and how that effects his hero life!

Shadow Switching AU

Imagine if there was a villain that was attacking the Justice League or just Captain Marvel and used a spell that "revealed their true self". It hit Cap but didn't change anything because Captain Marvel is still Captain Marvel and is a different person from Billy. It did however switch the shadows of Billy and Cap so now a 8"3 demigod has the shadow of a 5"3 little 10-15 year old boy and vice versa. So now Billy and Cap are both desperately trying to find ways to stay away from anything that can cause a shadow like the sun and artificial light.

I imagine that Billy can sleep anywhere without problems because he has been homeless for so long he just naturally gained the skill. He has slept under bridges, on the ground, under desks, on chairs, and in the park.

He even slept in the zoo with Tawky Tawny which was the most comfortable sleep he's gotten (all curled up tigers!) but was dangerous because he was almost found by the zookeepers!

Captain Marvel doesn't need sleep but imagine Cap doing the same after a big fight, he just puts his head on a small desk in a uncomfortable angle and passes out. Everyone around doesn't know if they should wake him up to tell him about the staff rooms or just leave him there to get some sleep.

You know what must be crazy! Billy going to a museum and seeing Captain Marvel in a painting or artifact. Billy is just living his life doing the one of the free things that won't kick him out, that's also separate from his hero life, and he sees one of the past avatars.

Or Captain Marvel goes to a museum in one of the Justice League's cities sees himself and freaks out. It's even worse if he's on a stealth mission with the League trying to catch a thief.

Cap: Oh my Gods!

Flash: What?

Cap: That's me in the painting fighting demons!

*Points to a painting of a woman covered in blood with a sword in one hand and holding the neck of a demon in the other, screaming like a banshee in what looks like hell*

Flash: !!!!!

I was playing this dress up game with cats and saw an amazing opportunity!

Do you remember a comic panel where Captain Marvel said how some trip the justice league was on would be shorter if they sang songs but Batman was against it. It makes me feel like Captain Marvel knows a lot of sea shanties from his past lives.

A song I think he'd sing is "bones in the ocean" because it makes him think of his past avatars and it's such a beautiful song. This also adds to people around him thinking he's thousands of years old.
