- I was wondering if anyone noticed that DC's Shazam (or Captain Marvel as us oldies know him by) and Marvel's Captain Marvel are both putting out movies at almost the same time? Something tells me that the Shazam movie will not be using the words "Captain Marvel" whatsoever. I always thought that having two heroes with the exact same name in two different comic book companies was confusing and a bit weird.

- The reason Marvel got the name is that after DC acquired the rights to the Fawcett character they didn't use him and enough time elapsed so Marvel swooped in and copyrighted it. I suppose it does make sense that Captain Marvel belongs to a company called Marvel Comics.

- I knew some of the two Captain Marvel's history, but not as much as the rest of you do, so thanks you for the great input. To answer Brucifer's original question, I did note it and found it amusing. Having the two characters with the same name is not nearly as weird, however, as our Canadian Football League used to have two teams called the Roughriders in a nine team league!
And regarding the films I am betting DC's Shazam won't do one third of the box office of CM!Tenzil
