Name: Mary Batson aka Mary Marvel
Age: 16
Series: DC Comics



Canon: Gather 'round, children. It's story time! Once upon a time, there was an orphan named Billy Batson. Now, Billy was bestowed with amazing abilities - the power of Shazam! This gave him a new body: one much bigger, stronger, and more adult-like with which to fight crime whenever he spoke the magic word. One day, Billy found out that he had a little sister named Mary. She, too, gains the ability to say "SHAZAM!" and transform herself.

Depowered, Mary Batson is an excruciatingly sweet, naive, trusting 16 year old girl, more suited for a 1950s sitcom than as a hiney-kicking superheroine. But as soon as she says "SHAZAM!"... the only thing that changes is her power and physical appearance, which grows up about ten years (and a few bosom sizes). The result is sweet-as-apple-pie, uncorrupted Mary Marvel, whose favorite TV show is Little House on the Prairie and whose favorite movie is Pollyanna. She wants everyone to do the right thing and be polite to one another (and preferably not check out her bust), because after all, those midwest virtues just can't be beat!

Note: I'm taking Mary from pre-Countdown.

Ooh, yikes bikes! Look at that sign! Someone was not being very careful when they spelled out that acronym. I don't think that it should be "C FUD". Clearly the "C" stands for "Camp", which is very exciting, by the way. I've never been to a summer camp before! I just can't wait to sing camp songs and roast marshmallows and tell ghost stories. We're just going to have to so much fun, aren't we Mr. Grraakk? Oh, gosh, I'm so glad you agree! Okay, anyway. The "C" is for "Camp" but the rest of the letters should spell "FUN", right? Because that's what we're going to have here. Lots of good, old fashioned "F" "U" "N". Oh, no thank you! That does not stand for "feeling ur ni... nip..." Oh that is just too inappropriate! Let's move on to some good, wholesome fun. Does anyone know any camp songs? Well, I'll get us started. This is a church hymn that one of my co-workers taught me! He informed me that it was a very popular hymn to sing around campfires! Repeat after me:

I made it through the wilderness/Somehow I made it through/Didn't know how lost I was/Until I found you~ Oooh! Isn't that like our situation now? We, too, are lost in the woods, well, except not really lost but more like put here for a good reason! And that reason is fun and bonding and singing and storytelling. Does anyone have any marshmallows? S'mores would be just the perfect addition to this campfire! Oh, but you know, I feel so terrible that the poor lake creature is out there on her own. Maybe she's feeling lost, and she'd like to find us! HELLO~! LOVELY LAKE CREATURE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO JOIN US? Oooh, look at her wave those tentacles. She's so enthusiastic! And her reach is so long, she can get to us even from there! Okay, we only sang through the first verse, but let's skip to the refrain of the hymn, while our long-armed companion joins in!

Like a virgin/ touched for the very first ti--, yes, hello there lake creature, but I am trying to teach them words. Thank you. Like a vir~ir~ir~irgin when your heart beats/close to--

Oh my mercy! That is not my heartbeat!
