## Biography

### Billy Batson: 1995 - 2002

Billy Joseph Batson was born to a drug addicted mother, who was heavily unfit for caring for Billy and a father that was long gone. Without any proper family to take him in Marilyn had placed Billy in child protective services of Wisconsin Department of Human services.

This led to Victor hopping from home to home for the following years until he eventually found his way into the care of Victor and Rosa Vasquez in Fawcett City. During his time in his new home he grew close with his foster siblings, Mary Bloomfield and Freddy Freeman, though he had no issues with Mary and Freddy or Victor and Rosa he was compelled to leave.

Opting to leave at the first chance that he had Billy took his shot at living on the streets, in the dead of winter Billy found a train station from him to camp in after a guard told Billy to leave he ventured deeper into the station. As Billy looked for warmth he had found a maintenance door he was sure was not there a minute ago, while entering Billy had been consumed by a white light and found himself on a stone floor. Surrounded by various magical objects where Billy was welcomed to the Rock of Eternity Lord of Order, Mamaragn the Wizard the Wizard had revealed to Billy that him having a need of running away was the cause of him in order to bring him to this spot.

While Billy was confused on why he did this, Mamaragn had stated that due to Billy's young age had allowed him to be a chosen candidate along with his youth and courage that was undeniable, and that he had such qualities which led to him saying Shazam and returned Billy back at the Vasquez home, to which he believed all that happened was a weird dream. Deciding to give the Vasquez another chance to where she befriended Mary and Freddy quite easily and adjusted with his new family.

With his dream months prior being a forgotten thought. While walking from school Freddy was nearly hit by a car, by a series of robbers at a near by bank after attempting to chase down the van, Billy remembered the word that Mamaragn whispered to him which Billy had repeated. Not long after a grown man had flown out of the alleyway with the mental image of Billy's father; and the combined power of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury. After stopping the robbery Billy decided to use his powers for good and was gonna have an awesome time.

### Shazam: 2002 - Present Day

After his debut with his magical powers, Fawcett City seemed to be glad to have their very own Superman though without a name, Billy chose the name "Captain Thunder" but never seemed to chat on with the public while The Flash and Green Arrow were stopping criminals in Fawcett City, Flash suggested the name Shazam, due to his wide power set. And with that the video went viral along with the name catching on quite quickly. Bearing that Billy, as Shazam was one of the first recruits by the Justice League to expand their ranks.

For eight years Billy maintained his secret of being a child from the League until 2010, after League had gained back so of their members Batman had revealed Billy as a fifteen year old. After discussing the matter, the founders would allow Billy to rejoin the League once he was eighteen but for the meantime he was sent to the Teen Titans as a "mentor". During his time upon the Titans Billy would grow a friendship with Bart Allen and Courtney Whitmore before the two started dating.

Another thing that seemed quite odd was that Billy had revealed his powers to his family after the League meeting and had since kept them in the loop of adventures with The League and Titans. This would pay off however as the Wizard had gave Billy the powers of his enemy Black Adam due to his death in 2011. With the magic having flowed to the both of them the huge amounts had killed Black Adam and overcharged into Billy which caused him to remain ill even in his normal form.

Desperate Billy had called Zatanna in order to aid him into what to do. She would reveal to Billy that in order to spread the huge amounts of magic he would need to give a portion to anchors that Billy had grown close to while the Titans hadn't known Billy that long he chose his sibling to aid him, as Mary, Freddie, Darla, Eugene, and Pedro had stepped up to aid their brother.
