Why doesn't Captain Marvel, aka Shazam get more respect in DC? Usually whenever he appears, he is just used as a fodder to make Superman look better.

Because he's basically Superman's equal buy he doesn't have as much weight in the company, so in any comparison between the two he's most likely to get squashed to prop up the main talent.

>Usually whenever he appears, he is just used as a fodder to make Superman look better.
Throwing everyone under the bus for Superman is nothing new. Superman basically lives off this shit since they don't know what else to do with his character.

Honestly not a fan of the new Marvel family. Its way too big. The only people that should be in the Marvel family are Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, Tawky Tawny. Don't really care for Freddie.

Isn't the 'Super Family' about as big?

They've got superpowered pets even.

>Usually whenever he appears, he is just used as a fodder to make Superman look better.
That's not true at all. Besides Billy get shown up by nearly every other hero because he's inexperienced.

>two rows of the same people
>slightly different order
It's like names on movie posters but without a valid reason to do it.

>Captain Marvel more popular than Superman back in the day
>DC buys out the competition and forces Captain Marvel to job to Superman so he looks better in comparison
DC have always been shit heads like that, it's why their universe has such bad power bloat as well

That bugged me too.

Its like looking at the blonde boy then your eye travels down and suddenly its
>"Wow he grew some great tits when he became a brunette"

That would be pretty hot though, nubile young boy using his powers and getting turned into a stacked young woman at the prime age of breeding

Super family are Superman, Supergirl, Superboy (Jon), Superboy (Kon-El), Steel, Superwoman (Lana), and Krypto. Problem is that there are basically 2 Kon-Els on Earth. One being New52 Kon-El and other being whatever Bendis's Kon-El is. And whether or not Lana counts depends on if the DC remembers that Lana have Magneto powers.

We've already done that slowpoke, extensively, with Billy transforming into Ms Marvel instead of Captain Marvel/Shazam.

>everyone just assumes you transform into a super version of yourself
>really it's just a coincidence when it works out that way and sex/race/etc is all random

He's not as foddered as often as Martian Manhunter, is he?

Also makes you wonder where all the other powerhouses are when some aliens decide to invade Earth but only Superman is featured prohementely doing something about it.

I think they're alright if kept at "lieutenant marvel" status where they're only brought in if they're really needed.

Everyone else knows if Supes shows up they can pretty much take the day off unless they want a photo op.

Officially Captain Marvel is not that fast as a lot of other guys.

Except the Marvel family aren't the only major powerhouses on Earth, there's many others who don't show up when a threat appears just because they aren't featured in that particular story.

I never liked the mhe massively extended Marvel family either. But it has always been around. Not just Mary and Jr, but the uncle marvel, substitute marvels, lieutenant marvels...there have always been a shitload of them.

I question ranking Billy that low

These aren't all the super-speed character in the DC universe.

Would it be assumed all the kryptonian heroes are as fast as Superman so no need to picture them?

At least the super family is only like 3 kryptonians and other guys that do a good imitation like Steel, Kon, Eradicator, Matrix Supergirl back in the day, Daxamite Superboy

Is Lana Superwoman still a thing? I have not seen her since World of Krypton 1-2 universe retcons ago.

I haven't read anything with her/him but does Cheetah actually have that tier speed? I knew it was superhuman, but I didn't think it was on the same tier as actual speedsters.

They've got a goddamned dog with kryptonian powers.

You never seen that comic where she shanks Flash in the ankle and tries to rape him? (But in getting so intimately close to the speedster he steals her speed and is fine)

Well, I hadn't read it but now I kinda want to.

>Captain Marvel is slower than Cheetah, who's just a superhuman with no magic or speedforce
Damn...

I don't understand why there is such a huge range between the speedsters. Shouldn't everyone from Wally to Max Mercury be comparable? Like all of them fit between 1 and 3 with not enough different to make a ranking? And Zoloman should be at the top even if he is not technically a speedster.

Still missing guys like Lightray, Black Adam, Captain Atom,

Powered by a goddess actually

He’s only there when they want to make a “child” story
