Captain Marvel, a superhero magically brought to life when young Billy Batson speaks the word "Shazam!", is a comic book character created by C. C. Beck for Fawcett Publications in 1939. At one time the largest-selling character in its genre, litigation by rival National Periodical Publications (now D.C. Comics) caused a ceasing of publication for many years and the folding of Fawcett's comics division, as well as the rights to Captain Marvel transferred to D.C.
