In 1972, DC licensed the rights to the Marvel Family characters, and began publishing them in a comic series titled "Shazam!". Fawcett sold DC the rights to the characters in 1980, by which time "Shazam!" had been cancelled, and the Marvels had been relegated the back-up feature of "World's Finest Comics", and, later, "Adventure Comics". DC retconned Captain Marvel in 1986 with their "Legends" miniseries, establishing him as a solo hero without a team. Writer/artist Jerry Ordway resurrected the Marvel Family in 1995 with his "Power of Shazam!" series, establishing the team as being made up solely of Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel and Captain Marvel, Jr. Following several attempts at relaunching the "Shazam!" franchise during the mid-2000s, the Marvel Family was temporarily dissolved by writers Geoff Johns and Jerry Ordway in "Justice Society of America" (third series) #25, with only Captain Marvel Jr., now known as "Shazam", retaining his powers, but from another source. In the interim, Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel continued to appear in "Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam!", an all-ages comic book series published under DC's youth-oriented Johnny DC line which ran from 2008 to 2010. Captain Marvel Jr. joined the pair towards the end of the run of "Magic of Shazam!", following a brief period serving as the sidekick of the Marvels' enemy under the name "Black Adam Jr."
