Why did DC Change Captain Marvel's name?
Interesting. So, what is the backstory of the original Captain Marvel?
The original Captain Marvel was created by artist C.C. Beck and writer Bill Parker, and first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 in 1940. The character was originally a young boy named Billy Batson, who transforms into Captain Marvel when he says the magic word "Shazam" and gains the powers of six mythical figures.
