Billy Batson - Blog Posts

Scenario where Billy loses one of his last baby teeth but it transfers over to Captain Marvel.

So everyone in the JL is freaking out cause they thought Cap was almost indestructible! So how on earth did his tooth get knocked out?

And when they ask him what happened, he says he bit into an apple and it came out (completely true). But of course none of the JL believe him and they just assume he isn’t telling them the truth cause he doesn’t want to worry them.

And then one day when Captain Marvel flashes another one of his signature megawatt smiles, they see that in the gap of his missing tooth… A NEW ONE IS GROWING IN????

Headcanon that Tawky Tawny sometimes sits Billy down and licks his hair cause that’s what cats do to clean the little ones.

So Billy will randomly have his hair at odd ends and Freddy’s just like, “Tawky happened?” And Billy just tiredly replies “yep.”

Okay, we all love Billy Batson saying stuff like “mr Batman sir” & “miss Wonder Woman” but hear me out when I say the whole Marvel trio do it too.

Like, Mary is fidgeting nervously in front of Black Canary and saying “Ms Canary, ma’am, uh- really nice to meet you!”

Freddy is sweating bullets and stuttering in utter fanboy in front of superman like, “Omg! Mr superman sir!”

And all the superheroes are hit with the nostalgia of how Captain Marvel acted exactly like them before he got comfortable with the JL. And they are all like, “yep, they are definitely related to Cap”

WAITWAITWAIT- HERE ME OUT

Rosa and Victor Vasquez going out in public but they have to put leashes on all the kids cause there are so many and someone’s always trying to run off

VOTE BILLY!!! HE HAS PRETENDED TO BE HIS OWN UNCLE IN ORDER TO DO STUFF AND THAT CHILD WAS HOMELESS SO NO WAY IS HE PAYING ANY SORT OF TAXES

I love making these lists and I can’t stop

Things I think the Marvel Trio (Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel & Capt Marvel Jr) have done in front of other heroes that prove they are all siblings.

(Yes I know most of these are more argument-based but these are all sibling moments and if I think of anything wholesome I’ll make another list.)

Cap yanked off Mary’s cape and ran for it with her in hot pursuit.

Jr & Cap kicked each other under the table for half a hour straight during a hero meeting.

Mary put Jr in a headlock and dragged him around.

Jr & Mary duck taped Cap to the watchtower cafeteria ceiling.

All three kept blowing raspberries at each other during a big fight against a supervillain

Cap & Jr both kept making fart noises every time Mary took a step.

All three showed up to a mission with ice creams smooshed on their heads and glares being thrown between the three of them.

Cap & Jr were put in the Get Along Shirt.

Mary & Cap were put in the Get Along Shirt.

Jr & Mary were put in the Get Along Shirt.

All three were put in the Get Along Shirt by a grumpy Batman.

Mary threw Jr into the sun after an argument (he’s fine.)

Headcanons on how the Marvel trio blink cause they are hijacking my brain and holding hostages.

Captain Marvel: frog blinks (no thoughts behind his eyes)

Mary Marvel: doesn’t blink (staring into your soul as she pulls out her bazooka)

Captain Marvel Jr: rapid blinking (its Morse code but he only knows half the alphabet and he’s guessing the other half so it’s just gibberish)

Headcanon that whenever somebody in the Marvel Trio says something stupid another Marvel smacks their head and says “get outta there, Mr Mind!” And only other heroes from Fawcett understand it.

It would be such a cute inside joke that confuses every other hero.

Another list let’s goooo!!!

Things I think Captain Marvel has let slip in conversation unprompted that have concerned others.

“When I was a kid I threw a brick at a cop car” (by kid he means yesterday)

“You act like my uncle after a beer”

“This reminds me of the time somebody tried to run me over with their car back when I was a kid!” (Again, by kid he means yesterday)

“My sister is basically legally dead.”

“I’ve eaten rat meat before!”

“Have you ever been chased out of a store with a broom cause somebody thought you stole a gift card? No? Yeah, me neither.”

“I fight a lot of nazis.”

“Sometimes the gods in my head tell me to kill somebody to set an example :(“

“Mary Marvel got angry at Junior again and she threw him into the sun. He’s fine... I think.”

“There’s this green worm that tries to crawl into people’s ears and mind control them.”

“I found a baby in a dumpster once!”

“I don’t think I have organs.”

After Captain Marvel’s revealed to be a 14 year old boy and once everyone’s gotten over it, the short jokes are gonna be endless.

Cause they go from straining their necks looking up at this over 8ft tall dude to having to look down at this scrawny short kid.

So yeah, Billy’s never gonna escape the short jokes cause that kid isn’t growing up to be taller than 5’11, and 5’11 is at BEST.

Post Captain Marvel identity reveal some of the other JL members try to go into Fawcett to check on Billy (cuz he’s a literal child superhero) and Billy has to chase them out like someone shooing away raccoons from their rubbish bins.

Captain Marvel (Shazam) AU where Billy thinks the JL knows his identity so he’ll just walk around the Watchtower as Billy. So others see this random kid and —in all the wisdom of the smartest heroes in the world— they assume he’s just a ghost haunting the place.

Cue identity shenanigans

Headcanon that all the Vazquez kids are notorious for using Freddy’s crutch to hit bullies.

Billy, Eugene, Mary, and Freddy himself have all definitely done it (more than once)

But you know you’ve really fucked up when Darla or Pedro are coming at you with that freaking crutch

Superman, in the middle of a battle: *gets hit by a shard of kryptonite*

Batman: *grabs the shard and hands it to Captain Marvel*

Batman: “Captain! Get rid of this, quickly!”

Captain Marvel: *panics and eats the kryptonite*

Batman:

Captain Marvel:

Superman:

Captain Marvel: “I PANICKED OKAY???”

Superman: “SO YOUR FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO EAT IT???”

Batman: “Please tell me you don’t often eat things to get rid of them…”

Captain Marvel:

Captain Marvel: *turns around and flies back into battle*

Okay but what if a city’s chosen isn’t their hero, but just some rando

Like the city just looks like a slightly mystical woman in a shirt and sweatpants. Or they look like some dude giving off divorced dad vibes.

The cities are alive

By now, it's a pretty common fact that the cities — yes, cities are in fact, alive.

They can project a body in their territory, thus showing their presence.

Lady Gotham is a dark mistress. Her wings are black like the fog that covers her whole city — as black as Gotham's night. Her long dress, even though seemingly soft and elegant in first glance, won't ever sway, not even in the harshest winter winds Gotham offers.

Even though she wears a blindfold, she sees all, is all. She sees beyond the surface of what eyes can see; knowing full well the pain and suffering every single Gotham citizen goes through, and bears that burden.

Her whole body seems to be made of pure, dark energy. Some accounts of eye witnesses say that if Lady Gotham wished so, she could easily blend into the shadows, as if she was never there. Ever watching over her people, even though unseen.

Legends say that if you ever feel like you're being watched even though there's nobody there, it's a sign Lady Gotham's spirit has her sights on you.

The person who have her favor, the ones she sees herself the most in, are her royal knights, who fight to keep her city and her people safe, every night.

Metropolis' spirit was very different, in many ways.

Metropolis was sunny and hopeful — a truly carefree soul.

Metropolis was the city that showed himself the most, simply enjoying being able to watch as the civillians go about their day, making the city burst with life.

Metropolis thrives on the energy of its people — that is reflected on the bright, sunny days with no clouds in sight, where the skyline gleams.

Of course, Metropolis' chosen is Superman, the most bright symbol of hope there is. Inspired by him, Metropolis even decided to encorporate a cape in their astral projection, said cape that shines like the sun and gleams like the sky no matter the time.

Everyone knows a city's spirit has at least something in common with their chosen.

Metropolis is the most boyscout city spirit out there. More often than not, the spirit can be found watching the sunrise, flying over the clouds, enjoying the freedom, or simply swinging his legs on a building, looking at everyone down below. The feeling of hope, of a chance of a better tomorrow — that is what Metropolis is looking for. And Superman has more than enough of that.

Even though Lady Gotham is cloaked in shadows, she doesn't wilt, she thrives— Just like her chosen, the Gotham Bats.

No one questions these things, they all make sense, don't they? The dark Lady has her dark Knights, the sunny city and the boyscout...

So imagine the faces of the League members when they find out through casual conversation that Fawcett is an actual child.

──────────────────────────

Green Lantern: “I know i shouldn't be talking about someone being childish, but the spirit that chose him is literally a child.”

Wonder Woman: “Are you certain that is the reason that the spirit chose to reflect a child's body? For his.. mentality?”

Green Lantern: “Yeah, pretty much. I mean, do you know any other reason that Fawcett could have chosen that form?”

Zatanna, who sometimes goes to Fawcett's magical market: “You all know that Fawcett's magical, right? What's more magical than a child's imagination?”

Flash: “If the spirit wanted to reflect something of Marvel's, why choose the mentality? The lightning bolt is right there!”

──────────────────────────

“Uno!” a child made of yellow energy exclaims, grinning devilishly.

Freddy gasps, holding a single card in his hand — having played the second to last one just seconds before. “Oh you did NOT just do that.”

Fawcett giggles like a goblin, watching as Freddy glares at them, pointedly making eye contact as he starts buying cards.

“Well, if you had been just a little faster..” Billy says, playing a reversal card. Freddy looks once at his new cards, then proceeds to sigh in frustration, buying even more cards while glaring murderously at the Champion.

“Batson, if i were you, i'd sleep with one eye open tonight.”

Billy can't contain his giggles anymore and bursts out laughing, Fawcett following suit.

I need a fic where all the magic users know that the Champion of Magic is a child so they just start unintentionally co-parenting Billy.

Like, John Constantine will take him on outings to hell. Billy will run off and come back with a piece of Constantine’s soul that had been gambled away and Billy will refuse to explain how he got it.

Dr. Fate (against his better judgment) sets up a playdate between Billy and Klarion the Witch Boy where they are just running around causing chaos (nothing harmful thanks to Billy)

Zatanna lets Billy come to her shows where he’s putting every other audience member to shame with how loud he claps and cheers whenever Zatanna does a trick.

Give me a scenario where magic users are regularly teleporting into the watchtower just to give Captain Marvel a packed lunch, and telling him off —in front of the JL— for forgetting it.

Every time somebody asks Billy why he doesn’t do a thing half the time he answers with “House number [insert number here]” and the JL eventually don’t question him further and just apologise before shuffling away awkwardly.

Billy Batson answering (as Captain Marvel) the question of why he doesn't join in for a drink with the group after being pressured for the 800th time, this time by Guy, who already pisses Billy off in general tho he tries to hide it.

"House number 5. I don't drink."

"what the hell does that mean?"

"foster home number 5. Got beat black and blue by the foster parents bc one of the other kids stole their liquor and they blamed it on me. Nasty alcoholics, the both of them. So I told myself, when I grow up, I won't touch the stuff."

Guy tries back pedaling, but one of the others has already slapped him upside the head for pushing the captain.

"I'm sorry you went thru that cap, I guess we shouldn't have been bothering you to drink so much"

Idk something along the lines of whether true or not, Billy decides to tell them something that'll make them regret pushing. Still kinda percolating in my brain

Need me a fic where Captain Marvel’s identity is revealed and Billy just starts running from all these heroes trying to parent him.

And it isn’t just the Justice League…

YJ would do anything for that man (boy?), at least after they get over the fact their father figure is actually younger than them.

The Titans bout to have Raven pull up the ancient scrolls to find a way to summon the Champion of Magic. (They are also trying to get over the fact that their father figure is younger than them)

The Outlaws are definitely ready to fight every other superhero team for him. (And, you guessed it! They are also trying to get over the fact their father figure is younger than them)

Meanwhile Billy is just like: “first CPS, now this? How does one get 50 different superheroes off their back?”

Semi inspired by the father figure Captain marvel posts

Do you think that, if asked, Captain Marvel would tell the JL that “all the gods in my head are either screaming at each other about me or screaming at me to murder somebody to set an example” or do you think he just wouldn’t tell the truth?

THISSS! But imagine he just starts picking up even more cause of past champions and the gods in his head.

So Captain Marvel starts muttering phrases in dead languages and no one can keep track of it, probably not even Billy!

Billy slowly starts picking up just little common Spanish expressions that Rosa used often after living with them for a while. Batman’s conspiracy board on Marvel just got even larger.

Do you think Captain Marvel (Shazam) can inflict harm on himself?

Like if he’s in a situation where someone is forcing him to say the magic word (with the lasso of truth or something) and Captain Marvel knows if he transforms back to Billy he’ll die, couldn’t he just rip his own vocal cords out?

Like, obviously if he did they’ll heal (cause he’s magic) and he’d be able to speak again eventually, but ripping out your own vocal cords would be a pretty badass way to counter a villain, huh?

Good shock value for the horror everyone else would have at this person tearing out their own throat just so he wouldn’t say a word

Some random kid in a red hoodie (Billy) absolutely bolting past Flash: AAAAAA-

A bunch of JL members running after him: *confused yelling and questions being shouted at the kid*

Flash: *long sip from his coffee*

Flash: I feel like I should be doing something… I just can’t put my finger on what…

Things I think Captain Marvel has done to make money (some are inspired by random posts I remember but can’t find)

Sells embarrassing photos of the JL to the younger superheroes

Sells kryptonite thrown at him to the Fawcett City black market where it’s bought and thrown at him again

Using his lightning to spell stuff out in the sky for other heroes anniversaries (price depends on the person paying)

YJ paid him to juggle all of them at once. Goes without saying it ended in disaster

His tooth was knocked out by Black Adam once and Billy sold it to Batman (Batman wanted to study Cap’s dna and Billy just went “money is money”)

Many of the sidekicks (current or former) have paid him to blow up their mentor’s mailbox with lightning and Billy, once again, went “money is money”

Took kids flying (for a fundraiser, but it still counts)

Paid to eat really hot peppers or anything difficult to eat in general

He did a little jig once for 20 bucks

Captain Marvel in the Watchtower rec room.

Green Lantern (Hal) & Flash: *giggling at something on GL’s phone*

Audio coming from the phone: *bang*“Ow!”—*clang* “Ouch!”—*thump* “ack!”—*thud*“Ow …I think that left a dent…”

Captain Marvel, clearly annoyed: “you’re really watching that again?”

Green Lantern: “sorry dude! It’s just so funny!”

Captain Marvel: *turns around to walk out the room but bangs his head on the top of the door frame*

Flash: *falls out of his chair laughing*

Okay but some in the JL has definitely gone through the Watchtower security cam footage and made a compilation video of Captain Marvel banging his head on the top of a doorway.

And I’m pretty sure we all know that he must do that a lot.

Okay but someone in the JL has definitely gone through the Watchtower security cam footage and made a compilation video of Captain Marvel banging his head on the top of a doorway.

Idea: Captain Marvel (Shazam) gets knocked so hard by magic that it sends his conscience spiralling into one of the past champions.

Captain Marvel just lying down in a massive crater: ow

Superman, rushing over to Marvel: Captain! Are you alright?!

Captain Marvel: *stands up and stares at this random blue man*

Superman, getting increasingly worried: What happened?

Marvel, looking down at himself and talking in a dead language: Yo, why am I a man????

Superman, looking rightfully confused at him not speaking english anymore: Captain?

Marvel, looking at his hands in increasing confusion: …why am I WHITE????

Random Captain Marvel things I think confuses the JL (yes, obviously this is inspired by Wonderjanga)

———

Everyone at the Justice League debrief meeting after a mission

Captain Marvel, randomly standing up and looking a little sick: “uh, please excuse me”

Batman: “Captain, you cannot just-“

Captain Marvel: *turns away and projectile vomits a bunch of letters onto the wall*

Batman: “…”

Batman: “you are excused.”

Captain Marvel, picking up the letters and sifting through them like it’s normal mail: “aw man! Another bill!”

Wonder Woman, shaking her head with a disapproving sigh: “man’s world and their idiotic delivery methods”

Superman: “oh Diana, that’s not- actually, nevermind”

———

Captain Marvel: *sitting in the JL watchtower cafeteria blowing out a candle on a small birthday cake.*

Green lantern, walking in to see him: “oh Cap! It’s your birthday???”

Captain Marvel with childlike glee on his face: “Yeah! I’m turning 11!”

Green Lantern: “wait wha-“

Captain Marvel: “and 3! And 41,024,618! And 350,597,120,140!”

Green Lantern: “excuse me what-“

Captain Marvel, checking an hourglass duck taped to his wrist: “oops! I gotta go or I’ll be late for Dinosaur sledding with Tawky Tawny!”

Captain Marvel: *zips out the room with the cake, leaving a very confused Green Lantern behind.*

Green Lantern: “Dinosaur sledding???”

———

Superman: *walks into the watchtower break room to see Captain Marvel and a younger blue version of him playing catch with a jar that holds a screaming worm inside.*

Superman: “Captain, who is this??? Why is there a worm in the jar and why on earth are you throwing it?”

Mr. Mind: “RELEASE M-“

Captain Marvel after chucking the jar straight at blue Captain Marvel’s head: “oh hi Supes! This is my older brother!”

Blue Captain Marvel after almost dropping the worm who is now screaming profanities: “holy crap! You’re Superm-!”

Before blue Captain Marvel can finish, a portal opens behind him and he gets sucked in screaming.

Superman, now with his fists up: “Captain Marvel! Get back!”

A younger girl version of Captain Marvel pokes her head out of the portal: “yo, Cap! Sivanna gave Tawny fleas and now Tawny seems like he’s gonna commit murder!”

Captain Marvel, flying into the portal without hesitation: “bye Supes!”

Superman, just standing there shellshocked: “I need to sit down…”

I need more Captain Marvel (Shazam) content where all the gods treat him like their baby nephew/baby cousin.

Like I’m talking pinched cheeks, hair ruffling, picking him up under his armpits like a cat, cooing, excessive gifts (but since they are all old as shit as well as literal gods it’s stuff like solid gold bars, little wooden toys, ceremonial daggers and a goat that one time).

It happens both when he’s Billy Batson and when he’s Captain Marvel.

So imagine the JL seeing their heaviest hitter and brick wall of a man having his cheeks pinched and him being swung and dangled around like a rag doll by these 10ft tall gods that came outta nowhere.

The Captain Marvel Dad AU is literally just Billy not wanting to be adopted SO bad that he mentally adopts everyone else.

And that is so Billy-coded

Like, yeah, you just got adopted by this preteen, but that’s only cause you didn’t adopt him first! You snooze you lose

Imagine if you will; Billy de-transforms during a mission and gets knocked out. He wakes up in the JL medbay, and street kid ACAB instincts kick in (cause Solomon isn’t around) and Billy kicks the nearest authority figure (green space cop) in the shin and bolts out the room.

Ofc he pretty quickly realises his mistake, but what’s done is done and you gotta commit to the bit.

Identity shenanigans ensue.
