36. The Power of Shazam!

Guest Stars – Blue Beetle, Red Tornado, The Challengers of the Unknown, Plastic Man, Green Arrow, Speedy, Aquaman, Flash (Jay Garrick); Episode: Captain Marvel

Real quick, our opening is yet another scene with the Faceless Hunter strapping Starros to heroes. Also in this opening, he punches through Red Tornado and destroys him. And, uh, I can’t remember if Red Tornado appears again in this show after this. He might just be straight-up dead. That would be a bummer. Poor Red Tornado.

In the main episode, we meet Billy Batson, the young boy infused with the power of the wizard Shazam to become Captain Marvel. In the ep, Dr. Sivana channels Captain Marvel’s power to summon Black Adam to come take care of the wizard. This works, and in one of the coldest moves in the whole show, Sivana uses his power to forcibly change Black Adam back to his human form. This makes him age thousands of years and seemingly die. God, this episode is hardcore. Also, the way Batman beats Captain Sivana is hilarious.

Verdict: Good!
