Powers and Abilities:

William's been given the power of the ancient wizard Shazam. Allowing him to call on that power when he call out the name of the Wizard, transforming him into the Captain Marvel.

Courage Of Achilles:
The Captain is all but invincible. Nothing short of an Anti-Tank missile hurts him.

Stamina Of Atlas:
The Captain can withstand and survive most types of extreme physical assaults, and heal from them. Additionally, he does not need to eat, sleep, or breathe, and can survive unaided in space.

Speed Of Mercury:
Captain Marvel is able to fly and move faster than the naked eye can trace. Approximately thrice the speed of sound.

Wisdom Of Solomon:
While transformed, William is gifted with photographic memory, quicker cognitive capabilities and a natural understanding of geometry and other practical applications of mathematics and physics.

Might Of Zeus:
The Captain is able to fire magical lightning bolts, packing similar power to that of his physical attacks. The might of Zeus is also what fuels the lightning that he calls down to transform him. Should the Captain want to, he can avoid the lightning and using it to harm an opponent.

Backstory:
Billy's tale is a long one. Starting in the middle of the previous century. He was born into the working class. His mother worked at the phone company, connecting calls, and his father was a mechanic at a auto shop. They grew up in Colorado. His childhood was filled with fond memories, he had a group of friends that he would always hang out with. He, like most kids did get into trouble once in a while. He played football in high-school, and set a state record that lasted for seven years. He also had a amateaur boxing reputation. He joined the army at age 20 and was deployed for fighting in Vietnam years later. however, these are things that he doesn't talk about, and he doesn't really remember his time in the army very well. By this point, he had already married his high-school sweetheart. Henrietta Batson, formerly Applegreen.

He returned home after getting shot in the shoulder in the war, with a honorable discharge and a purple heart. The wound made it impossible for him to threw anymore football, and following the war, his life steadying began going downwards. Like his father, he became a mechanic at a auto-shop. He have raised two kids along with his wife, Anthony and Bella. But aside a few corns of gold in his life, William's spent his life in mediocrity. He's never fulfilled his dreams, and he's always felt like his life have been lackluster.

The last decade's been spent going in and out of the hospital, taking six pills in the morning, and five before going to bed. Pain in his back and hands. His eyesight and hearing getting worse. And that's not even mentioning the acid reflex that stops him from enjoying his favorite food, the cheeseburger. A year ago, he had a serious heart-attack, and just minutes after he was put into the hospital, the attack of the white martians happened. William saw in live TV how the man of steel fell from the sky.

Hope on earth diminished that day. People's thoughts became darker, and crime was on the rise.

On the day of the attack: Having a heart-attack, being in the hospital.

Since That Day:
He's been unhappy, depressed and
Two months ago, everything changed for Billy. His physical state had been getting worse, and on his way back from his regular check-up at the doctor, he saw something, walking down the streets of Central City. A man masked with cloth over his face, wielding a crowbar assaulting another man. William engaged the man, punching him in the face. However, his old body wasn't strong enough. A crowbar to the face knocked him to the ground, but the old man pushed up again, and lunged at the crook. An upper-cut sent the crook to the ground, and with his tail between his legs, he ran away.

The strain William had put on his body exhausted him, and a pain in his chest, back and arms, that he knew so clearly was back. He collapsed in the alley.. Dying.

The Ambulance came, and Billy can only remember fragments of what happened. But during the time, he was sent to a light. What he thought could be the afterlife. He arrived at a big palace. He walked the halls, thinking that he was done for, when he saw a man with long hair and rough beard of the shiniest silver color.

“Am I dead?” William asked, and the larger figure nodded. “ You are. And I know who you think I am. But I'm not. My name is Shazam, and I'm a master of the mystical arts. A wizard. I saw your last valiant act in your life as a mortal. I've offered you this once before, long ago, but this time, the world is in graver danger. I want you to go back to life, and be my champion. Fight the forces of evil in my name. Will you choose to do so, William Batson?”

And in the next moment, a lightning bolt hit the ambulance William was in, and the man came back to life. Now gifted with a word of power.

Shazam.

Weakness:
Billy, despite his age, and his experience is sometimes just as hot headed as his usual teenage counterpart. He think his power is absolute, that he is unbeatable. He lacks training that many other heroes do have, making him subpar in terms of skill. William is, when not transformed into Captain Marvel, just a human. And should William die, so would the Captain.

Character Aim:
Ehe. I think that's pretty self-explaining. But the short version is that I want to make a age-wise reverse Billy Batson. Someone who gets all the hot-headedness and sense of right from being on the other side of the tables of age. He's used to being a fragile old man, and now he's given the chance to become one of the most powerful beings on the planet. It's not a small adjustment. He's gonna have a darker side to him, though, like an estranged father.
