Good evening again everyone, my name is alfren. Today, Marvel Studio's Captain Marvel is the most awaited movie next as fans really looking at it. But there is one problem about the name of this superhero.

But wait, Marvel Studio rival which is the DC Comics also have their Captain Marvel. How can this be? The reason why DC Comics has its own Captain Marvel because in 1940s, faucet publications created a superhero comics name Captain Marvel. It hit the fans interest in reading this comics than superman comics.

The story is about a boy who just say the magic word and transform him into a superhero named CAPTAIN MARVEL. But today, DC Comics decided to change its name. Instead of using CAPTAIN MARVEL, they use SHAZAM. I think SHAZAM will hit the big screen on last quarter of 2018.

Shazam has a superspeed, superstrenght and a whole bunch of superpowers. But DC Comics launched a new version of this shazam with a comedy type movie. But shazam is still CAPTAIN MARVEL even if they change its name.

DC Comics wants Faucet publication to be shutdown due to the fact that Captain Marvel was very famous than superman that time. DC Comics alleged faucet publications that they copied superman. So faucet publication stop publishing Captain Marvel.

However, this Mr. Stan Lee from early Marvel Comics got an idea to create a Captain Marvel that was different from faucet publication's Captain Marvel. They did that because they have the Marvel in their company name.

In 1972, DC Comics pick up all the rights to claim all faucet publications superheroes. So they have now the Captain Marvel.

So both DC Comics and Marvel Studios has Captain Marvels. But DC change its name to their upcoming movie named SHAZAM.
