Shazam may not appear in Young Justice all that often these days but he did have something of a bigger role during its first two seasons as he appeared in a recurring capacity, particularly when he was tasked with keeping a watchful eye on the kid heroes.

Like many of the adaptations that came before the Zachary Levi-starring film in 2019, he was known as Captain Marvel whenever he appeared on the show - which might confuse those familiar with the Marvel Comics character of the same name. But that’s not actually the most shocking thing about Shazam. No, what’s really interesting about Billy Batson's adult alter-ego is the fact that he has been voiced by both of Hollywood's illustrious Lowe brothers.

'80s heartthrob Rob Lowe originally voiced the character in the first season, offering his talents for two episodes. However, his younger brother Chad took over voicing activities in the second season as the lightning-powered hero began appearing in more episodes. It was Chad who then returned eight years later to bring him to life in one episode of revival season Young Justice: Outsiders.

It's not often that one Hollywood legend voices you, but two? Now that's something to, uh, marvel at.
