HISTORY
- Tall Billy Batson was raised in Texas. He later traveled to Fawcett City to meet a boy with his same name. There he met Fat Billy Batson from Brooklyn and Hill Billy Batson from Nashville. After meeting Billy Batson from Fawcett, the new Billy Batsons were captured by Dr. Sivana's henchmen who each were told to find Billy Batson. To save his friends, Billy attacked Sivana but was forced to get rid of his superpowers or his friends would die. All four Billy Batsons were tied to a log in a sawmill. Billy tried to say SHAZAM, but the Mill was just to loud. The combined voices of the four boys gave all four of them Captain Marvels powers. They formed the Captain Marvel Family, but have served sparingly since then.
