Captain Marvel



Whoops! Turns out there are several superheroes named Captain Marvel. Are you looking for:


 * Shazam! (left): The original, created in The Golden Age of Comic Books. Billy Batson shouts the magic word "SHAZAM!" to call down magic lightning which transforms him into the World's Mightiest Mortal. Now owned by DC Comics, but couldn't be advertised with his real name for years and eventually had it changed to "Shazam" due to...


 * Captain Mar-Vell (right): Created by Marvel Comics when the trademark lapsed. A Captain in the alien Kree army named Mar-Vell, sent to spy on Earth but coming to use his powers to protect humans. He eventually died of cancer, but has been succeeded by several other heroes to take the "Captain Marvel" name.


 * At least one other comics company decided to cash in on the Captain Marvel name, too.


 * Captain Marvel, a 2019 film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe about Carol Danvers -- Ms. Marvel in the Marvel print universe. Interestingly, she is never actually called "Captain Marvel" in the film, although Spider-Man refers to her by that name in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
