The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the Speed of Mercury. So goes the list of powers that the wizard Shazam granted Billy Batson.

To put things into perspective lets take a minute to understand just one of the sources of Shazam's powers, Zeus. Whether it be in the Injustice universe of the Prime universe, Zeus has consistently been shown to be on par with characters like Highfather and Darkseid.

As Shazam, Billy posses that power, plus the power of five other gods and heroes of legend. Not enough proof for you? Well lets look at an article from DC Nation #2, which had Shazam be ranked as the 9th fastest being in the universe thanks to the speed he's been granted.

There's a reason his old nickname was even the "World's Mightiest Mortal!". Not to mention in nearly every depiction in animation, live action, and the comics, Shazam is routinely portrayed as Superman's equal, if not better.
