Captain Marvel Jr., also known as Shazam Jr. (Frederick "Freddy"
Freeman), is a fictional superhero originally published by Fawcett
Comics and currently published by DC Comics. A member of the
Marvel/Shazam Family team of superheroes associated with Captain
Marvel/Shazam, he was created by Ed Herron and Mac Raboy, and first
appeared in Whiz Comics #25 in December 1941.In the original Fawcett
and DC continuity, Captain Marvel Jr.'s alter-ego was Freddy Freeman,
a disabled newsboy saved by Captain Marvel from the villainous Captain
Nazi. To save the dying boy's life, Captain Marvel shares his powers
with Freddy. By saying the name "Captain Marvel", Freddy is
transformed into Captain Marvel Jr., a blue costumed version of
himself possessing powers of superhuman strength, speed, wisdom, and
more. Junior derived his powers from Captain Marvel himself, while the
other Marvels derived their powers from the wizard Shazam. Unlike
Captain Marvel and the modern-era version of Mary Marvel, Junior
remained a teenager in his transformed state.A Trials of Shazam!
maxi-series published from 2006 to 2008 featured Freddy Freeman
undergoing six trials to prove himself worthy of succeeding Captain
Marvel, who takes over the wizard Shazam's post on the Rock of
Eternity. Upon completion of the Trials, Freddy assumed the superhero
name Shazam. Following DC's New 52 reboot in 2011, Freddy Freeman â€"
now a blond instead of the traditional dark-haired youth â€" appears
in current DC Comics publications as one of Billy Batson's foster
siblings, and at Billy's whim can share the Shazam powers and become
an adult superhero.Freddy Freeman made his cinematic debut in the DC
Extended Universe film Shazam!, portrayed by Jack Dylan Grazer and
Adam Brody as a teenager and adult respectively. Captain Marvel Jr. Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
