## History

### Early Life

Born in 2007 to who we assume to likely be Mr. and Mrs. Freeman, Freddy proved to be a struggle to raise for a family who could barely make ends meet, and this situation was worsened due to requiring special needs growing up at school. Frustrated, Freddy attempted to prove to his parents that he could manage on his own and didn’t need assistance despite being a special needs student, but his overconfidence brought him to an unfortunate accident that left his left leg permanently injured from a fall. No longer able to fully financially provide for their son, Freddy was then brought to live under foster care with a family who could better support him against his wishes. After several failed attempts to run away from home, Freddy eventually managed to convince his foster family to let him talk to his parents to try and clear things up, which managed to be successful. With a tearful goodbye, Freddy came to live with his foster family.

While now suffering from ableism in being both crippled and autistic, Freddy’s self-esteem and confidence began to dwindle over time until Billy Batson was adopted into the family, with his confidence and self-esteem improving when Billy gained superpowers through his Shazam transformation. Proud to be the brother and friend of a superhero, Freddy did what he could to try and help Billy understand his capabilities. When misunderstandings and jealousy created family drama between the two, Freddy grew distant from his foster brother. During a battle against an exceptionally powerful villain, Freddy and his foster siblings were granted superpowers by Billy Batson as Shazam to help even the odds in the final battle. Following that conflict, Freddy and his foster siblings work to serve as guardians of the Rock of Eternity and as the successors to the wizard Shazam, using their powers for good to fight crime and help others in need.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **The Wisdom of Solomon:** Freddy is granted a vast amount of insight and knowledge through his transformation, being able to think quickly and come up with complex solutions to equally complex problems. The knowledge and insight he can gain can manifest in the forms of clairvoyance, divine grace, and the tactics of a master strategist.
* **The Strength of Hercules:** Enhanced strength, enough to the point where he can break through concrete, bend steel, and put up a fair fight against a Kryptonian.
* **The Stamina of Atlas:** Freddy’s overall endurance is significantly increased as Shazam Jr. enables him to perform great feats that far surpass the natural limits of an ordinary human. Atlas’ Stamina also enables Shazam Jr. to survive without food, water, or any other sort of sustenance when in his superpowered state.
* **The Power of Zeus:** Mainly manifests as electrokinesis and the “living lightning” that grants the transformation to and from his Shazam Jr. form. The electrokinesis can be used to augment Freddy’s own physical attacks, but also as a long-range attack. The living lightning can also be used to heal himself and others.
* **The Courage of Achilles:** Immense inner strength is granted to Shazam Jr., giving him a strong and powerful will that manifests in the form of invulnerability in his superpowered state. As such, bullets and other conventional weaponry do not affect him. Freddy also obtains immortality so long as he is transformed into his superpowered form.
* **Speed of Mercury:** Freddy is capable of running as fast as a bolt of lightning in his superpowered state, with lightning-fast reflexes to match. This power also takes the form of flight, which Freddy finds more useful than just running around.

### Abilities

* **Expert marksmanship**
* **Encyclopedic knowledge of various superheroes**
* **Bilingualism:** Can fluently speak both English and Spanish.
