Captain Marvel VS Shazam

Captain Marvel VS Shazam is the 107th episode of Death Battle, featuring Captain Marvel from Marvel Comics and Shazam from DC Comics in a battle between marvelous superhero captains. Captain Marvel was reprised by Terri Doty, Shazam was voiced by Michael Kovach, and Billy Batson was voiced by Paige Stork.
==Interlude==
Wiz: Many with great power choose to take up the responsibility of being a hero, but for others, it is thrust upon them when they least expect it.
Boomstick: Like Captain Marvel, the high flying Avenger.
Wiz: And Shazam, the literal boy-turned-hero of the Justice League.
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.
==Captain Marvel==
Wiz: Before she would take up her superhero mantle, Carol was an army brat, raised by Joe and Marie Danvers.
Boomstick: Inspired by her U.S. Navy dad, Carol joined the Air Force at 18, with the hopes of one day becoming an astronaut, which sounds really cool, except, y'know, comic book outer space is way more dangerous than real outer space, which is already... y'know, pretty friggin' dangerous. Arnold! Don't take off your—

Arnold Perlstein from The Magic School Bus is shown removing his astronaut helmet on Pluto, making his head instantly freeze.
----
Boomstick: Nooooo!
Wiz: You're not far off. After becoming head of security at NASA, Carol was caught up in an alien struggle, which resulted in an explosion of a device called the Psyche-Magnitron.
Boomstick: The whatzit-now?
Wiz: The Psyche-Magnitron was designed to bestow superhuman powers to the alien species known as the Kree. Caught close to the explosion, Carol seemed to be unaffected.
Boomstick: But, plot twist, her mom was an alien Kree all along.
Wiz: And so, Carol's half-Kree, half-human genetics were fused and awakened, forging her into a superheroine, the likes of which the world had never seen. Too bad she didn't even know about it for months.
Boomstick: Yeah, she'd black out sometimes, and then wake up to hear of a new blonde superhero lady saving the day. It's like keeping your own secret identity a secret, from yourself.
Wiz: Eventually, she did figure it out, and accepted her role as Ms. Marvel.
Boomstick: Oh yeah, she's had a bunch of names like that, Warbird, and Captain Whiz Bang... not-not kidding about that one...
Wiz: Until a certain Kree superhero and close friend passed on. Upholding the legacy of her mentor, she took up his heroic name.
Boomstick: And so Carol became known as Captain Marvel.
Wiz: Captain Marvel possesses incredible superhuman strength, speed, stamina, and durability. She resists fatal poisons, has a notable healing factor, and doesn't even need to eat or sleep for long periods of time.
Boomstick: She's got a ton of experience fighting with the Avengers, the X-Men, and the space-faring Starjammers. Oh, and she can freakin' fly!
Wiz: And to top it off, she possesses incredible energy manipulation powers. She can fire photon blasts from her body, alter matter at a molecular level, and absorb enormous amounts of energy, which can augment her own power.
Boomstick: And when she absorbs enough energy, she busts out the big guns by transforming into her ultimate form and top-tier Fire-type Pokémon, Binary. Thanks to some weird experiments done to her by the creepy crawly Brood aliens. First, she gets her human and Kree bits smashed together, and then she gets her genes brooded to become a sun person...?
Wiz: As Binary, she is extraordinarily powerful on a cosmic scale. Directly connected to the power of a white hole, Binary can control all forms of energy, fly through space, move at the speed of light, and even control gravity.
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Boomstick: Oh, she controls gravity. Big deal, even I can do that. Watch this!
He drops his beer can, spilling it onto the floor. The music stops immediately.
Boomstick: OH GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!
Wiz: (sarcastically) Oh no, how sad...
Boomstick: (sobbing uncontrollably) I'M A MONSTER!! Here, I'll pour one out for ya, buddy...
He opens another beer can and pours its contents out on the ground before realizing what he has done.
Boomstick: OH, WAIT!!
Wiz: Let's move on.
Boomstick continues sobbing as we cut back to the analysis.
Wiz: While she has lost her Binary powers before, she still maintains an instilled connection to white holes nearby, and can summon the form when necessary. Similar to another long-dormant power of hers: her hyper-awareness.
Boomstick: Her déjà vu power! She can automatically predict her opponent's moves, sort of like Spider-Man's really OP Spider-Sense.
Wiz: With her slew of abilities, Marvel is a force to be reckoned with. It wasn't easy for her though, and she soon found herself wandering the universe in search of a purpose.
Boomstick: But nobody got away with messin' with her for long. She's tough enough to survive a nuclear blast, a shot from a disintegrator beam which could destroy the android Vision in one shot, and even a direct hit from a tachyon laser.
Wiz: Tachyons are a theoretical class of particles that travel faster than the speed of light, and are capable of slicing through nearly anything.
Boomstick: Like an entire Kree starship! Yeah, I wouldn't want to be on the end of one of those.
Wiz: Not only was Marvel able to take a hit from one of these, she could dodge subsequent shots as well.
Boomstick: But let's take it up a notch. As Binary, she survived attacks from both the Phoenix Force and the Alephs, both of which are known for blowing up entire planets! Hell, she could wipe out planets on her own if she really wants to, 'cause, she totally already has.
Wiz: Even without her Binary powers, Marvel could toss around and obliterate the remnants of this enormous asteroid.
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Boomstick: Damn, that's impressive. Hey Wiz, how come you've never measured how strong I am? I bet I could punch apart an asteroid.
Wiz: I don't know, Boomstick. I'd have to calibrate a new strength meter to accommodate your—
Boomstick: SLUG MUG!!
He surprises Wiz with a punch, causing him to squeal.
Boomstick: Get up! That's two for squealing! 
We cut back to the analysis.
Boomstick: So she's super powerful, but she does reach some limits if she overuses her powers. You know, after blowing up a couple planets or whatever.
Wiz: That, and absorbing magical energy can be a dangerous gamble. Though it doesn't stop her from taking on mystic monstrosities whenever she needs to.
Boomstick: 'Cause Captain Marvel is one superhero who will never stop fighting, no matter what.
----
Captain Marvel: Oh, good. Looks like I didn't miss all the fun.
Skurge: Another combatant... Welcome! 
He throws his ax at Carol, who simply knocks it away.
Captain Marvel: Thanks, right back at ya! 
She goes to smack him down.
----
==Shazam==
Wiz: After moving between foster families for most of his life, 15-year-old Billy Batson didn't know the meaning of home. But one day, after being chased by bullies into a subway car, Billy was magic'd away to the Rock of Eternity, where he was granted powers by a mysterious wizard.
Boomstick: Whoa, wait, wait, wait. That's it? No freaky alien genes, no parents getting gunned down in an alley, he just hopped on a train and shot off to meet some old dude? Where's the tragedy? Where's the drama?
Wiz: Boomstick, he's an orphan.
Boomstick: Uh- Oh, right... Oh, suck it up!
Wiz: Anyway, the Rock of Eternity is no ordinary chunk of dirt floating across the cosmos. It was the home of a wizardly hero, who was in need of an heir. And to claim his powers, all Billy needed to do was utter a single magic word.
----
Billy: SHAZAM!
A bolt of lightning hits him and Billy transforms into Shazam.
----
Boomstick: Shazam? What kinda magic word is "Shazam?" Even "Abracadabra" would be better than that.
Wiz: Boomstick, you have no room to talk! Your password is "password," and you don't even spell it right!
Boomstick: Exactly, Wiz. Genius.
Wiz: I- Oh, wait.
Boomstick: Wait a minute... H-How do you know my password?
Wiz: ...Let's move on.
Boomstick: Anyway, whenever Billy shouts his magic word with heroic intent, he summons a bolt of lightning that ages him up to become Captain Marvel!
We cut to Boomstick.
Boomstick: Until they changed that shit 'cause of Marvel Comics.
Wiz: Long story short, Captain Marvel was originally conceived not by DC or Marvel, but by Fawcett Comics as a competitor for Superman.
Boomstick: Yeah, DC didn't like that, so they killed off the cap'n in the courtroom and took the character for themselves.
Wiz: Then, Marvel Comics showed up 20 years later and had a similar legal battle with M.F. Enterprises.
Boomstick: Motherf***ing Enterprises?! Damn, they beat me to it.
Wiz: Well, good news, because apparently, they forgot how copyright works and tried to make their own Captain Marvel.
Boomstick: Theirs had the power to pop his head off, and... that's about it. He's stupid. Let's move on.
Wiz: With that, Captain Marvel had two owners. Marvel owned the name, but DC owned the character, and so began a cold legal war, with both companies silently daring the other to cross the line.
Boomstick: 'Til DC decided, "Eh, screw it. Let's call him Shazam."
We cut back to the analysis.
Wiz: As Shazam, Billy gains a wide variety of impressive powers, including the Wisdom of Solomon, the Strength of Hercules, the Stamina of Atlas, the Lightning of Zeus, the Courage of Achilles, and the Speed of Mercury.
Boomstick: And the body of legal drinking age!
Wiz: Each of these ancient beings granted their own capabilities to Shazam. The Wisdom of Solomon gave him a perfect memory, and the ability to magically gain any knowledge he needs to know.
Boomstick: So, it's like a smartphone with internet access.
Wiz: I... sure.
Boomstick: The Strength of Hercules makes him super strong, obviously, and with the Lightning of Zeus, he got awesome electric powers.
Wiz: Zeus himself once channeled the power to defeat the Shattered God, a being only previously slain by the Big Bang.
Boomstick: I slayed your mom with the Big Bang.
Wiz: Shazam also gained accelerated healing, a shortcut to the Rock of Eternity, and the ability to share his powers with anyone he considers family, like his adoptive sister. I suppose he eventually found himself a home after all, huh?
Boomstick: Aw, that's touching, but back to cool superpowers! With the Courage of Achilles, he became tough enough to survive in space, and even take on Superman himself!
Wiz: And with the Speed of Mercury, he can fly, as well as move faster than light.
Boomstick: Hey, wait a minute... Solomon, Hercules, Atlas... The first letters come together to spell "Shazam"!
Wiz: Yep!
Boomstick: Haha, and you say I don't pay attention to stuff.
Wiz: Despite Billy's often sour attitude thanks to... well... homelessness, he always dreamed of rising up and becoming a hero. As Shazam, he wound up being so good at hero work, he joined the Justice League. Though he did keep the truth of his powers a secret, as Superman would probably think twice about sending a 15-year-old into an active combat zone.
Boomstick: Eh, you gotta learn sometime, right? Plus, he's super powerful, able to stand up against all sorts of aliens, monsters, and gods. He's fast enough to transform and dodge a bullet all in one move and even outran the Flash racing around the world at speeds even Superman doubted he could match.
Boomstick: That's right! Shazam is faster than frickin' Superman.
Wiz: Superman can perceive time and react down to the femtosecond. For Flash and Shazam to exceed this in one run around the Earth, they must be moving more than 133 trillion times faster than light.
Boomstick: Yeah, that's cool and all, but how about the time he punched so hard he started a black hole out of nowhere? He's tough enough to shrug off Superman's punches, survive planet-bursting shots from the Void Hound, and even a bomb that turned his whole body inside ou— 
Shazam's inside-out body is shown on-screen.
Boomstick: OH WHAT THE F***?!?!
Wiz: That's the Tesseract Bomb, and Shazam's magic was powerful enough to pull himself back together without much issue. So, technically not a straight durability feat, but still, a device that turns things inside out? Delightful!
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Wiz: It's so fascinating, I had to replicate it for myself. 
Wiz pulls out a ray gun.
Boomstick: ...The hell is that?
Wiz: Well, if my calculations are correct, this should mimic the space-bending reversal effects of the Tesseract Bomb, turning any object inside-
Boomstick: Yoink! 
He snags the gun from Wiz.
Wiz: Wha-wait, I haven't tested...!
Boomstick fires the gun at his beer can, turning it inside out and removing the liquid inside.
Boomstick: Oh yeah, that makes sense...
We cut back to the analysis.
Wiz: However, even with all Shazam's might, he is still 15-year-old Billy Batson. His time and experience hardly compares to other members of the Justice League, and his headstrong immaturity can't help but slip out every now and then.
----
Shazam: Hey, "Blackheart the Death Eater" or whatever your World of Warcraft name is, suck on this!
Shazam blasts his Living Lightning at Darkseid, which prove ineffective against his Omega Beams which blast him away.
----
Boomstick: Wiz, it's gotta be super hard going back and forth in that hormone hurricane.
Wiz: Yet, distractions and adversaries aren't enough to stop this caped crusader. He may be the ultimate power fantasy incarnate, but he's also exactly what he'd hoped he'd be: a hero.
----
Shazam is seen beating down Superman.
Shazam: You know, you've never been any good against magic, and magic's what I'm all about.
----
==Prelude==
==Death Battle==
A funky beat fills the sunny day as Billy Batson, in his guise of Shazam, struts down the street in a very good mood. He fires a bolt of Living Lightning at a nearby car, electrifying it. He fires again at a lamppost, shattering the glass. He fires one more time at a conveniently placed ATM machine, which begins shooting out dollar bills by the dozen. The music screeches to a halt as Billy realizes he made a mistake. Desperately, he shakes the machine in panic, begging it to stop.
Shazam: Holy - no, no, NO! Oh jeez! Stop, stop, stop!
???: Stop right there!
Shazam turns and looks up. On top of a nearby skyscraper, stands a lone figure staring down at him; Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, who mistakes him for a petty thief.
Captain Marvel: You really think you can get away with something so petty?
Realizing what his situation may look like to the superheroine, Shazam tried to explain.
Shazam: Oh, I didn't mean, eh, this isn't uh... eh, right.
Knowing this isn't getting anywhere, Shazam sees only one option left: to run for it.
Shazam: See ya!
He dashes away at high speed, but unfortunately, Captain Marvel's right on his tail and lands a rough blow from behind, knocking the world's mightiest mortal to the ground. The Justice League member gets back up and recovers from the attack as the Avenger somersaults and charges at full force, her fists burning with fiery energy.
Captain Marvel: Don't walk away from me, fly boy!
Shazam blocks the assault with one hand, despite being pushed back. He holds Captain Marvel by the arms before charging up his own power.
Shazam: Miss, you're in for a surprise!
Billy strikes with a lightning-charged punch which sends his blonde attacker flying back across the street. He has only just started, though, as he charges in with a few hits and an uppercut into the air, which he follows. Across the city skyline, Carol takes hit by hit until she successfully blocks one with a barrier of energy. Now, she starts going on the attack, only to be blocked by him.
Shazam: When in doubt, punch it out!
Captain Marvel only sighs and rolls her eyes at the lame one-liner. She quickly puts up her forearms in a defensive position as her opponent bombards in a hail of punches. Fortunately for Captain Marvel, this turns in her favor, as she absorbs a little of Shazam's power and catches him off guard with a mean uppercut before flying up above him.
Captain Marvel: How about this surprise?
She shoots a powerful energy beam that sends the Mighty Mortal crashing down painfully onto the empty car below, but she isn't done yet and soars down to finish him off. Shazam recovers and gets out of the way in time. He lands yet another lightning fist on her and continues the fight. Both heroes clash across the road back and forth, until Shazam's super speed helps him dodge a punch from Captain Marvel. Once behind her, he strikes her at the back of the head, leaving her dazed and vulnerable. Shazam proceeds to bearhug her from behind.
Shazam: Okay, time to go.
He soars up into the air, with Marvel in his arms facing upwards until they're in the clear sky. Billy then calls upon his magic word.
Shazam: Shazam!
On cue, the magic lightning strikes a direct hit on the superheroine, but the resulting impact pushes Shazam back where he is wide-eyed at the sight upfront of him now.
Shazam: Holy Moly!
In Captain Marvel's place is the radiant being known as Binary, who stands up straight, brimming with power from the lightning bolt. She looks over to her opponent and aims a glowing palm while shaking her other hand in a mocking way.
Captain Marvel: What was that? Oh, right. Shazam.
As soon as she says that, the same bolt flashes out of her palm zapping the hero in red, transforming him back to young, depowered Billy Batson. Gravity kicks in, sending Billy falling through the stratosphere, while Binary is surprised by this little revelation.
Captain Marvel: What?
The young boy quickly calls upon the magic word again.
Billy: Shazam!
Another bolt strikes the boy returning him to his adult body, wiping off sweat in short relief. However, his foe has had more than enough shenanigans.
Captain Marvel: No more tricks!!
She dives down fist forward into Shazam's stomach, plummeting both of them back down to Earth. The impact smashes through concrete and earth, ending in the rapid transit subway path with a bad landing for Shazam. Binary punches him further down a tunnel, rounding another fist and energy blast. The Mighty Mortal quickly counters with some strikes and lightning, with both countering each other so fast that the scenery is like a speed blur. Eventually, the two have a short break within the blur.
Shazam: What's the matter. Can't keep up?
Enraged, Binary launches herself at Shazam, with her energy-infused fist ready to connect. Before she can do that, however, Shazam catches her by the arm and flies upwards as he charges up his magic before tossing her into space using his herculean Strength of Atlas. Binary smashes through three big asteroids before landing hard against a gigantic asteroid. As she recovers from the impact, she's left with little time to get back in the fight, as Shazam soars right into her and lands a punch so hard that the collision course is brightly visible in space, and no sooner, the entire asteroid along with Binary blows up into chunks, instantly killing the latter.
Among the smoke and debris, Shazam stands proud and triumphant as the sole survivor until the severed and charred leg of his fallen adversary boots him on the head.
Shazam checks his watch, needing to be somewhere else. As he flies, he takes the leg with him.
==Results==
Boomstick: Ah Wiz, nothing like a firework to end the night.
Wiz: This battle certainly pushed both Marvel and Shazam to their limits, but while Carol's experiences with the Phoenix Force and Alephs prove she can hold up to Shazam's Strength of Atlas, she unfortunately fell a bit short in most other categories.
Boomstick: Even her energy absorption powers could only take so much magic before reaching a limit, but hey, Carol got one over him with her hyper-awareness super senses, right?
Wiz: Not really. While Binary could move past lightspeed, we've already established that Shazam can move much faster, over 133 quadrillion times faster, in fact.
Boomstick: And let's be honest, having wise old Solomon telling you any information you need at any point is pretty overpowered.
Boomstick: Speaking of which, Carol had enough power to obliterate a planet, but Shazam can punch a black hole into existence! Who even does that?
Wiz: Going off this building on the horizon, we determined the size of Shazam and the black hole; he was giant-size at the time. With the estimated Schwarzschild radius of the black hole being 526 feet, its mass must be about 238 octillion pounds. The energy to create a singularity of that size would have to be 97 foe.
Boomstick: Uh, Wiz, what does "foe" mean? Uh, asking for a friend.
Wiz: It's simple: one unit of foe is approximately equal to the energy output of a supernova.
Boomstick: Holy Hell! Are you serious? Who decided that this guy can punch with the power of 97 supernovas? That can't be right.
Wiz: Well, we can support this by comparing Shazam to Zeus, one of the six beings he draws power from. At one point, Zeus channeled enough energy to defeat the Shattered God, who'd only previously been defeated by the original Big Bang.
Boomstick: Okay, but Zeus is drawing power from a bunch of other gods. We can see at least 34 here, and there's probably more.
Wiz: Even if there were a thousand gods involved, this still means Zeus was responsible for one 1,000th of something comparable to the Big Bang, a universal-scale event.
Boomstick: (stammers) Yeah, I don't think Binary had anything like that up her sleeve.
We cut to Wiz and Boomstick.
Wiz: Carol was certainly no pushover, but Shazam had the speed, strength, and versatility to take this battle in the long run.
Boomstick: That was one Marvelous fight.
We cut to the "Winner" card.
Wiz: The winner is Shazam.
==Original Track==
===Composition===
The track for this fight is "Marvelous" by Brandon Yates. It is an orchestral rock piece that matches the soundtracks often heard in superhero films and other media. It also remixes the main theme from the Avengers films and the opening theme of Justice League: Unlimited.
===Title===
The title references both combatants being referred to as Captain Marvel prior to Shazam's name change. The word is also used by Boomstick during the prelude to segue into the episode's sponsor on YouTube and for this episode's ending pun.
===Cover Art===
The cover art done by Luis Cruz simply depicts Shazam's lightning bolt logo crashing into Captain Marvel's star logo.
==Trivia==
===Production===
*The core connections between Captain Marvel and Shazam are that they are both comic book superheroes who are or have been named "Captain Marvel". In addition:
**Both received their superpowers from the person whose name they would eventually adopt (Mar-Vell and the Wizard Shazam, respectively).
**Both are members of prominent superhero teams (the Justice League and the Avengers, respectively).
**Both have worn costumes with lightning bolts on them.
**Both had live-action movies released in early 2019, just before this episode's release, with the thumbnail using renders of both characters from said movies.
***This episode was confirmed to be made to commemorate the release of said movies.Black Widow Changed Death Battle? | DEATH BATTLE Cast
****Ironically, just prior to the fight's reveal, CBR reported that Shazam's movie actor, Zachary Levi, declared that he should not have to be pitted in a fight against Captain Marvel in the sense that movie watchers should not bring hatred of one character against the other.Shazam's Zachary Levi Doesn't Want Fans Pitting Him Against Captain Marvel
*****Ben has discussed this situation during in the 120th episode of DEATH BATTLE Cast.Shazam HATES Death Battle?? | DEATH BATTLE Cast
*This was the last episode to have a post-fight animation until it returned for Bowser VS Eggman.
*It was stated in the 122nd episode of DEATH BATTLE Cast that Shazam would keep Captain Marvel's boot as a trophy, but not wear it.Torrian VS Disney! | DEATH BATTLE Cast
*Brandon Yates would eventually release a remaster of Marvelous on November 6th, 2020. According to Brandon, he wanted to polish up the mix since it was one of the ones he considered less proud of.
**This makes Marvelous the fifth original track to get a remaster, after Exo, Alive, Unlocking Heaven, and Chorus of Carnage, with the next two being A Strange Fate and Stronger Together.
===Easter Eggs===
*The way Shazam struts down the street and points his fingers is likely a reference to the infamous scene in Spider-Man 3, in which Peter Parker does the same thing.
*Shazam shooting an ATM with lightning is a reference to a similar scene in the Shazam! film, though he does it on purpose there rather than accidentally like in the fight.
