Character Name: William "Billy" Batson
Codename: Captain Marvel
Age: 15 (as Billy); approximately 30 physically (as Captain Marvel)
Alignment: Good
Powers: When he shouts the word "SHAZAM!", Billy is transformed into Captain Marvel, and possesses abilities and powers rivaling that of Superman. The powers are:
S - for the endless wisdom of Solomon
H - for the legendary strength of Hercules
A - for the stamina and might of Atlas
Z - for the overwhelming power of Zeus
A - for the courage and invulnerability of Achilles
M - for the peerless speed and power of flight of the god Mercury
Bio: Orphan Billy Batson met the wizard Shazam and was granted the powers of Captain Marvel. With the death of the Wizard Shazam, Batson was now granted the power that once belonged to the wizard if not more. (Taken from the DC Wiki)
Extra: It has been said that Captain Marvel is arguably the most "pure" soul amongst all the DC heroes; even moreso than Superman. In addition to seemingly equalling the Man of Steel in many areas, Captain Marvel is capable of helping Superman fight against magic, as only the most powerful of magics can harm him in any way, unlike Superman.

((In all honesty, I'm quite surprised no-one has taken Billy yet-- but that's good for me. ^^))
