A Canaanite youngster was bestowed with the powers of six Canaanite Gods (Marzosh, Arel, Ribalvei, Voldar, Elbiam and Lumium) and became known as Champion. When Evil, the most terrible of gods, appeared, he was able to divide into three forms (Terror, Sin and Wickedness). The Gods sent a Champion into the future, to seek the help of the Champion's successor, Captain Marvel. Together, they defeated Evil and its servants, the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man. Champion and Captain Marvel imprisoned Evil and, in the process, they created the Rock of Eternity. For 3,000 years, as the Champion aged, the gods he knew he was forgotten by everyone except himself, and he became a great wizard, taking the name Shazamo.

Shazamo would defeat many enemies, including En Sabah Nur and the Goa'ulds in the ancient past, ending their threats for good.

### **3,500 BC**

In rebellion against the tyrannical Mesu (now known as the Black Pharaoh), Taia, the wife of Ibis, was struck by an arrow. Ibis put her and himself in suspended animation.

### **1,980 BC**

A generation later, an evil wizard named Serpenotep conquered the Land of the Nile, imprisoning the benevolent witch who in those days protected the people. Serpenotep ruled tyrannically until the original Isis, posing as a servant, sneaked past the guards and entered the sorcerer's prison. The magician explained that even she would not be able to free him, until Serpenotep was defeated, but that he *was* able to transfer part of his power to those who were worthy. Using his magic, he caused an amulet necklace to appear around her neck, as well as a tiara on her head. He told her that she now possessed the powers of the pyramid - she could fly like the hawk, run with the speed of the gazelles, and command the elements of earth and sky. Isis and the magician combined their power and transformed Serpenotep into stone. For years afterward, Isis protected the needy, until she finally died. She foresaw that she would return again, in another form, to combat evil.

### **15th century BC**

Queen Hapshuset (Hatshepsut) ruled as the first and only female pharaoh of Egypt. Thanks to his powerful magic, old Shazamo still lived, and served as her royal sorcerer. He presented the Queen with the mystical amulet of Isis, and told Hapshuset that she and her descendants would be endowed by the goddess Isis with great powers. By wearing the amulet and invoking the goddess's name, Hapshuset was transformed into an avatar of Isis. After her death, the sorcerer took the amulet and hid it, along with a parchment explaining the secrets of Isis. He cast a spell, designed to draw one of the queen's worthy descendants to the place, so that the power of Isis could be rediscovered in some future age.

### **Pre 1194 BC**

The Wizard Shazamo commanded a pantheon of heroes whose initials formed his name: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury(Hermes) and Oggar, another god, who was his disciple in magic. Oggar rebelled against the Wizard, killing the other members(as a result their names are lost to time), Shazamo stripped him of his powers and expelled him from his sanctuary, and Oggar began to live among mortals. Shazamo purged the "o" of his name in shame, renaming himself **Shazam**. Shortly after the rebellion, in the mortal world, Oggar tried to seduce the beautiful Circe to be his queen when he conquered the world, to which she refused. Oggar tried to avenge himself, but his magic did not work in noxious ways against women. Then he gave her a dowry, instead: making her immortal. However, this did not diminish her aging; after about 200 years, she was still alive, but terribly ugly and wrinkled, which made her develop a mortal hatred for all men, who were now horrified by her face. She learned witchcraft and how to turn men into animals. Shazam, now having difficulty trusting anyone, keeps the title of Sorcerer Supreme for himself rather than pass it on.
