Name: Billy Batson
Age: 12-15
Race: Human
Title: The God of Gods
Bio: Billy Batson was not the happiest of kids, being an orphan and going through lots of foster homes that he didn't take well to. His life would change after one fateful train ride took him to the lair of an ancient wizard named Mamaragan. He was promised great power should he utter the word "Shazam", which would turn him into a godly champion bearing the wisdom of Solomon, strength of Hercules, endurance of Atlas, power of Zeus, courage of Achilles, and speed of Mercury. In spite of his youth and immaturity, he has gone on to be a respected hero and member of the Justice League.

Special Attacks:
-Atlas Tornado: Shazam flies at the opponent while covered in a spiral of lightning-laced wind. He can go a short distance, a slightly-longer distance, or upward and at an angle.
-Bolt of Zeus: Shazam calls a bolt of lightning to his hand and throws it at the opponent like a spear.
-Herculean Might: Shazam shoots straight up into the air, then comes down at an angle, covered in lightning. He can hit the opponent on both trajectories, allowing for short-range combo potential or distance-crossing value.
-Mercury Storm: Shazam vanishes in a flash of lightning, reappearing at a different part of the stage. Will electrocute close-range opponents on disappearing, or opponents in the spot he is teleporting to.
-Achilles Clutch: Command Grab. Shazam picks the opponent up, flies up in the air, then hurls them to the ground and rains lightning down on them.
Throws
FORWARD: Shazam grabs the opponent, shocks them with lightning, then slams them on the ground.
BACKWARD: Shazam flies the opponent into the air, then hurls them down and shocks them with lightning.
Super Moves:
-Solomon's Judgement: Shazam lights his arms with lightning, adding a significant power boost to his punch-based attacks and Specials, and gives his Bolt of Zeus extra strength and range. Wears off after a few seconds.
-Zeus' Wrath: Shazam gathers electricity in his body, then hovers in the air and creates a spiraling sphere of lightning. Any opponents caught in its vicinity will be repeatedly shocked and actually drawn closer to Shazam before it explodes in a burst of electricity, blasting the hapless opponent backward.
-Power of Shazam: Shazam uppercuts his opponent so hard that they fly up into the atmosphere, then flies up to meet them. He punches them repeatedly before elbow-spiking them downward. He then grabs their ankle, spins them around at high speeds, then hurls them to the ground hard enough for rocks to fly up on impact. When the opponent finally lays still, Shazam flies back down to the ground.
FATALITIES:
-Sha-Zap: Shazam bear-hugs the opponent and lifts them up into the air and shouts "SHAZAM!" Lightning rains from the sky and blasts the opponent, shocking them while Shazam himself is unscathed. He calls out three more times, the lightning seeming to intensify with each strike. When the opponent is little more than a burned husk, he discards them to the ground.
-Lightning Hands: To the tune of "Eye of the Tiger", Shazam points his fingers at the opponent and fires bolts of lightning at their chest repeatedly. Each one scorches a deeper hole until it blasts right out the opponent's back. As they stagger, barely-conscious from their injuries, Shazam turns his back on them and lifts a hand in the air. With a snap of his fingers, a large bolt of lightning rains down from the sky and completely incinerates them. He then blows smoke off his fingertip.
Intro: A boy runs into the ring, then stops as he shouts "Shazam!" Lightning strikes the ground and clears to reveal Shazam, who beams a great smile.
Outro: Shazam flexes his biceps, then folds his arms across his chest with a confident grin.

Theme Song: Shazam's Theme by Benjamin Wallfisch
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Prologue: Among the many members of the Justice League that were scattered across the globe in lieu of global calamity, the hero known as Shazam was one of them. In truth, young Billy Batson was going about his daily business until he saw the news that heroes were disappearing left and right. Recognizing a call to action when other heroes were out of commission, Billy ran straight into the first portal he could find. Miraculously, his powers still enabled his transformation where others would likely found difficulty. The powers of Shazam would face their newest trial here, in the world of Death Battle.
Rival Cutscene:
(In an ancient coliseum, Billy Batson wanders the corridors, dragging his feet. Eventually, he slumps against the wall.)
Billy: How far does this place go? Even with the Speed of Mercury, I feel like I'm going nowhere. (sighs) Well, least when I walk, I can at least get a chance to actually go somewhere in this world.
(Billy takes a quick breather, then straightens back up and continues down a corridor. He eventually finds a doorway and ventures through it to discover a modern city street.)
Billy: What the-?! How did THAT get there? (whirls around to see the coliseum is no longer there) ...I live in a world with talking caterpillars, martians, and Superman, and THIS is the thing that starts weirding me out.
????: Hey, you!
(Billy whirls to see a tall, blonde woman with a red-and-blue bodysuit decorated with gold lining walking towards him. He smiles nervously as she towers over him.)
Captain Marvel: Not a lot of kids can just appear out of thin air, you know?
Billy: *thinking* Stay cool, Billy. Just pretend to be an innocent little kid and she should leave you alone. They all do...usually. *speaking* Thin air? (looks around) Wait, how'd I get here? Have you seen my dad?
Captain Marvel: (raises a brow) Are you sure you want to be lying to me, kiddo?
Billy: L-Lying? Who's lying? I'm not lying! Nope, no way, nuh-uh. Just kinda got lost in...wherever this is.
Captain Marvel: (deadpan) Playing dumb probably helped you with some people, but not with me. If you're here, it means you went through just as much as I did in one way or another. (points a fist at Billy and gathers energy) I can tell you're hiding something and that you're not as stupid as you're playing yourself to be, so I'll give you to the count of three to come clean.
Billy: Are you crazy?! I dunno anything about this place!
Captain Marvel: One...
Billy: C'mon, I'm just a kid! You wouldn't hurt a kid, would you?!
Captain Marvel: Two...
Billy: I just wanna go home and...and...
Captain Marvel: Three!
(The energy in her fist reaches a peak, but before she can let loose a bolt of energy, Billy finally gives in.)
Billy: SHAZAM!
(Just as Carol fires off the energy bolt, a lightning bolt rains down from the sky and strikes Billy, creating a cloud of dust. Carol fans it away a bit, then sees the figure within it--a tall, muscular man in a red suit adorned with a lightning bolt. Oddly enough, she smiles and folds her arms across her chest.)
Captain Marvel: I thought I recognized you. Was that so hard?
(Shazam scratches the back of his head, sheepishly.)
Shazam: Hehe...kid's gotta have his pride, y'know? With the Wisdom of Solomon, though, I'm starting to see how stupid that was.
Captain Marvel: Heh. Kids will be kids. Now, I assume you know how this song and dance goes?
Shazam: Thanks to the wisdom I gained earlier, yes. (puts up fists) No hard feelings?
Captain Marvel: Not in the face of a rematch, no.
Shazam: Good...I guess.
(Fade to black.)
Ending: All was well in the local Kanto region and Professor Oak seemed to have a relaxing day ahead of him, until he heard a knock at his door. Curious as to who it could be, he opened the door and saw a towering, muscular man in red tights. Much to his confusion, the man had a childlike gleam in his eyes and eagerness in his voice--he wanted to be a Pokemon trainer. Oak, after significant hesitation, asked if he was too old. The man looked down at himself and sheepishly said, "Oops" before saying "Shazam!" and, after getting struck by lightning, turned into a child. Still stunned by what had happened, Oak took in the boy, named Billy, and helped him get on his way to being a Pokemon Trainer.
