The character was later purchased by DC and his name changed to Shazam.Comic Book Herald is reader-supported. Initially, though, all of those powers just translated into "the same powers as Superman," which is partially why National Comics eventually sued Fawcett and ultimately won, with Captain Marvel ceasing publication in 1952.

SHAZAM was an acrostic that stood for Captain Marvel's powers: 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. Fawcett dropped Master Man, but then introduced Captain Marvel in 1940, who was also a Superman riff, albeit with the added twist that he transformed back and forth from a boy when he shouted the magic word, "Shazam!" One of the companies that it forced to drop an imitation hero was Fawcett Comics, who had a Superman knockoff called Master Man. Of course, the big-ups at National Comics (now DC Comics) either sued or threatened to sue them all for stealing their idea. The Man of Steel was a sensation and soon, rival comic book companies were trying to do their own knockoff versions.

Comic books had only really been a thing for a couple of years when the whole industry was rocked by Action Comics #1, which contained the first appearance of Superman.
