While I did know those two backstories while not in dept but the tall, small, hillbilly and fat Marvels caught me off guard. LOL Hillbilly Marvel? No wonder those four are not in the present day comics.

Note that, just from looking at the Z and M alone, they switched from the Greek and the Roman names of the gods. Make up your mind there!
well shajam and shazah don't have quite the same ring to it.

Funny you should mention his obscurity. A friend of mine loaned me Marvel's "Earth X" series: CM's body switching plays a big role in the later chapters and, towards the end, CM essentially becomes God. Kinda funny how that worked out.

Another great job Bob!!!
But I'm starting to think that maybe "The Big Picture" should just be re-branded as a comics only video series.
A good number of the episodes are already under the "Comic Are Weird" sub-series, and those episodes are not only the most interesting but also the best in terms of information since your really seem to know your shit when it comes to comics.
Just something to think about.

Is Marvel REALLY so desperate to keep the trademarks to "Captain Marvel" that they're willing to make up stories that no one cares about just to keep the name?

Either way, DC's Captain Marvel seems WAY better, and has a much more awesome costume!

Alright Bob, I appreciate these episodes and realize this is your soapbox but... Could we step out of the Comic Book store for a bit?

Along with comics, the recent animation and video game releases that feature captain marvel also contradict himself, in the captain marvel animation, our hero sees shazam once and then can never see him again, while in the video game Mortal Kombat vs Dc universe shows there is some sort of temple. Also in the animation captain marvel is very confident and full of power equaling his strength with that of super man while in the video game, he takes him self as weaker than super man, and that super man is the god that will save humanity, while captain marvel with equal strength can't so much as lift a finger.

Welcome to my head
Your head is messed-up Bob
But then again so are comic books.
One day things will get really weird, when japanese manga enters this show. I knew about the dispute, but not about how weird was Cp Marvel (both) comics were.

Wow. And here I was fully convinced they made up the Marvel family solely for that one comic where Bat-mite and Mr.Ihavenofuckingideahowtospellhisname (the Superman villain) travel through the different DC dimensions cracking jokes and killing all superheroes and villains with weaponized Wile E. Coyote props.

Yeah, they stuck Captain Mar-vell in the recent Avengers cartoon for an episode. Marvel aren't going to win, but they'll never say die.

I.. never knew that, though I have heard of "Captain Marvel" somewhere down the line. Never was a comic person.

Interesting O:

Wait, so the "shazam" Captain Marvel isn't owned by Marvel?
Nope...the company Marvel was made after the super hero Captian Marvel(the cool one who is the little boy)

okay... so... can you then explain to me why in the trailer (the full pre-rendered) DC-universe online, on the "Lex Luther side", why is "Cap-Marvel (the DC one, of course)" on the bad guy's side? because I AM SOOOOO SURE that B4 the "NUKE BOOM", he said "SAHZAM" then "BOOM" it went... WHO WAS THAT ONE? it can't be the "kid" could it?

Nice informative episode by the way...

Captain Marvel, meet Captain Marvel.

Watch Video

You don't seem to like Captain Mar-Vell or Ms. Marvel a lot?

Kind of a shame, becasue they are two of my favorite Marvel Characters.

But yes you forgot a few incarnations of the Marve Captain Marvel:

During Secret Invasion there was a Skrull that believed he was Mar-Vell for real, so he is considered one of the Captain Marvels. Also Ms. Marvel Went by the name during House of M.

Havent read the latest ot he cosmic marvel stuff, but last I saw there was an Evil Alternetive Universe Captain Mar-vell running around.

Holy shit.

I finally get that Robot Chicken joke now.

God I love superhero comics. They're the stupidest things ever printed, but it's damn fun to admire how strange they can get.
