Description

From Kingdom Come Revelations:

The Whiz- This truly is one of my earliest superhero designs. Originally called "The Spider" (obvious design origins), he appears almost identical to the way I drew him at age 8. "The Whiz" is the child of Freddy and Marywith a suggested genetic link to the power of Shazam, and, of course his name is a reference to WHIZ COMICS.

King Marvel- This may not be the most serious extrapolation on a Golden Age character, but it's certainly rich in subtext. Elvis Presley was such a big fan of Captain Marvel Jr's comics in the '40s that this inspired the stage costumes worn in the King's later years. The joke here is to have the adult Freddy Freeman absorb some of that design back, as filtered through Presley. Thus it appears that King Marvel is an Elvis impersonator superhero.

Lady Marvel- Mary Batson has the new role of wife and mother along with being the Big Red Cheese's sister. Mary's costume uses the classic white cape she always wore as teh basis for her whole look. The idea that she, Billy and Freddy shared the power of Shazam equally may be thrown off kilter by the reemergence of Captain Marvel.
