Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The drama around the name Captain Marvel is the stuff of legends, and now a hilarious comic settles whether DC or Marvel can claim the name. Both publishers have featured characters with the name Captain Marvel, but the legality of who can publish what is a messy one. Cartoonist Kerry Callen, of MAD Magazine fame, has released a comic that weighs in on the debate.
From there, Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel and the rest of the Marvel Family slipped into obscurity, remembered and discussed only among older readers and in fanzines. Then, in the early 1970s, DC, looking for new properties, licensed Captain Marvel and some of the other Fawcett characters, and in 1973, DC released the first comic starring the character in nearly 20 years.
However, by the 1990s, DC owned the character. They still had to refer to him as Shazam in the title, but still called him “Captain Marvel” in the stories. This holds true in Jerry Ordway’s Power of Shazam graphic novel and follow-up series. By the 2000s, the name “Captain Marvel” was increasingly downplayed, and by this point, many fans simply called him “Shazam.” When he was rebooted for the New 52, the name Captain Marvel was completely disposed of, and his new name was Shazam.
