Thanks for that bit of comic book trivia. Though I’m in my mid sixties, I wasn’t aware of that character.

In the '40s, Captain Marvel outsold Superman. He was pretty much sued into oblivion in lawsuit that cost more than it merited. These days he is referred to as "Shazam" after the wizard who gave him his powers, but that struck me as a lame way to get away from the copyright issues (Marvel Comics has their own, negligible character with that name, and what remains of the trademark).
