Publication history

Character origin

Captain Marvel Jr., from Master Comics #30 (1942). Art by Mac Raboy.

Captain Marvel, Jr's first appearance in Whiz Comics #25 was part of a three-issue crossover between Whiz Comics and another Fawcett publication, Master Comics, in late 1941. The crossover, printed during the height of World War II, found Bulletman and Captain Marvel at odds with Adolf Hitler's superpowered champion, Captain Nazi. During a battle with Captain Nazi in Whiz Comics #25, one of Captain Marvel’s punches sends the villain careening into a lake. An elderly man, Jacob Freeman, and his grandson, Freddy, happened to be fishing in the lake near the place Nazi has landed, and, not knowing who he is, lift the unconscious man into their boat to prevent him from drowning. Nazi immediately comes to, tosses Jacob into the lake, and knocks Freddy out of the boat with an oar. The old man immediately dies, but Captain Marvel is able to save an unconscious Freddy and bring him to a hospital. Master Comics 30 This image is a book cover. ...

Captain Marvel changes to his regular form of Billy Batson, and is told by a nurse that Freddy is not expected to last the night. Billy then devises a way to help the boy: he sneaks Freddy out of the hospital and takes him to the secret underground throne of the wizard Shazam, who first granted Billy the power to become Captain Marvel. Shazam is a comic book character created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck for Fawcett Comics. ...

Billy asks the wizard to heal Freddy and save his life, but Shazam cannot, and instead tells Billy that he, as Captain Marvel, can pass along some of his powers to so that Freddy can walk again. Shazam disappears and Billy transforms back into Captain Marvel, just as Freddy awakens. Looking up, he exclaims “Why...it’s Captain Marvel,” and is instantly transformed into a super-powered version of himself. Freddy, who was now called "Captain Marvel, Jr.", resembled a younger Captain Marvel, though with a yellow-on-blue costume with a red cape, rather than Marvel's yellow-on-red with a white cape.

Captain Marvel informs Junior that he cannot remain in his super-powered form at all times, but that he must allow his human form to heal as best it can. With that, Freddy once again said his mentor's name and returned to his hospital bed. Freddy remains permanently lame in his left leg and is forced to walk with a crutch (although Captain Marvel, Jr. bears no such impediment). As a result, Junior sought revenge against Captain Nazi, and the two repeatedly battled over the years. Look up lame in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

Fawcett years

Captain Marvel, Jr. proved to be a popular spin-off character for the Captain Marvel franchise, and appeared in solo adventures in both Master Comics and his own Captain Marvel, Jr. comic book. The character's solo adventures feature an art style, devised by co-creator Mac Raboy, that was more realistic and dramatic style than the style used by C. C. Beck and the other Fawcett artists for Captain Marvel. Master Comics was a monthly ongoing comic book anthology series, which was published by Fawcett Comics from March 1940 to April 1953. ...

The stories depicted the plight of working-class and working-poor people during the Depression and World War II. The atmosphere was generally much darker artistically and emotionally than the general run of Captain Marvel tales. Even as he fought Japanese air attacks, conferred with United States president Franklin Roosevelt and United Kingdom Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and even came close to capturing Adolf Hitler himself, Freddy continued to live in a run-down hovel and to dress in shabby rags. His one valuable possession appeared to be his diary, which was written in a large, richly ornamented book. For other uses, see The Great Depression (disambiguation). ...

In most of his adventures, Freddy Freeman is depicted as a character to be pitied for his injury, reminiscent of Tiny Tim from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, until he transforms into his super-powered state (co-author Beck described the character as resembling both Tiny Tim and Peter Pan).

Junior, Captain Marvel, and Mary Marvel began appearing together in The Marvel Family comic book beginning in 1945. That title and Junior's own ran until 1953, when Fawcett Publications discontinued all the Marvel Family comic books as the result of a lawsuit brought by National Comics (later DC Comics).

Shazam! revival

After Fawcett Comics folded, Captain Marvel, Jr. remained unpublished, alongside the rest of the Marvel Family, for years. In 1972, DC Comics purchased the rights to the Marvel Family characters and revived them in a new series entitled Shazam!. In his 1970s adventures, Captain Marvel, Jr. discovered that fellow superhero Kid Eternity was in fact his long-lost brother. This retcon took place because of the characters' very similar origins. Both characters' origins involved the death of a grandfather, and both characters also rely on magic words that form part of their superhero names (and therefore neither hero can speak his name without triggering his powers). In reality, Kid Eternity had been published by another company, Quality Comics, whose characters DC had also purchased.

Freddy Freeman was reintroduced in The Power of Shazam! #3 (although he makes a very brief cameo in the Power of Shazam! graphic novel).

Just as in the Fawcett origin, Captain Marvel knocks Captain Nazi into the lake, and the Freemans are attacked when they attempt to save the villain. Captain Marvel intervenes and rushes both injured bystanders to a hospital. Grandpa Jacob slips into a coma, and Freddy is found to have a severely injured spine and a broken leg.

The injured Freddy is taken to the wizard Shazam by Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel, who grant the boy the power to become Captain Marvel, Jr. However, Grandpa Jacob dies, and Freddy goes on a rampage against Captain Nazi as Captain Marvel, Jr. until the other Marvels intervene.

Teen Titans

In Power of Shazam! #13, Captain Marvel, Jr. was written out of the book so that he could begin appearing in Teen Titans with issue #17 of that book. In the issue, Junior gets into a fight with Captain Marvel and quits the Marvel Family. Junior appeared in solo adventures in three special issues of Power of Shazam! (#14, #19, and #37), with art by guest artists such as Gil Kane and Joe Staton. These issues find Junior starting a new life in New York, where he joins the Titans team.

After Teen Titans was canceled in mid-1998, Junior returned to Power of Shazam! until that book's cancellation at the end of the year.

He and Marvel Family nemeses Sabbac, The Seven Deadly Sins and Dr. Sivana all played major roles in the series.
