The wizard Shazam may have given Billy his powers, but they come from somewhere much older: the Greek gods.

As you can see via the above image, each letter of the word Shazam represents a god (and the abilities that each bring to the table), with S being the wisdom of Solomon, H being the strength of Hercules, A being the stamina of Atlas, Z being the power of Zeus, the second A being the courage of Achilles and the M being the speed of Mercury.

With all these different powers, Shazam is rather mighty and while he may not be as much of a key player as the likes Superman, he is most certainly on a similar power level.
