It turns ou that his kjob there is to control and enforce the laws of magic. In other words, he's the top cop of magic in this realm and yes, he uses magic.<br /><br />He also has a white uniform, long straight white hair, a hood on his cape, and is called "Lord Marvel." I don;t know a lot of people who liked it.Captain Zorikhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168069119665482226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581271557522459706.post-22656557676447713922017-06-11T18:05:25.601-04:002017-06-11T18:05:25.601-04:00From what I've read so far in the golden-age c...From what I've read so far in the golden-age comics, he was just learning magic from Shazam, although I haven't yet found an example, I'm sure he mastered it! I Cap even grew in his ability to harness and use his other powers - for example, he doesn't seem to fly until several issues into Whiz comics. I've not read too much of the N52 version, but you do bring up some great points!Jeff https://www.blogger.com/profile/09096350604429303382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581271557522459706.post-33488519823918173982017-06-05T00:05:50.907-04:002017-06-05T00:05:50.907-04:00Do you think spell casting should be a part of his...Do you think spell casting should be a part of his power set? But have that magic be something he uses in absolute emergencies, because his lack of full mastery. I know Shazam said he used the same powers that captain marvel has to fight evil, maybe that's where he gets his nigh-all powerful magic from. It would be interesting if over time Marvel would become more like the Wizard in terms of power. We did see Marvel use hypnosis, maybe that's an example of his magical powers. I know the nu52 added spell casting to his abilities. That would be a great way to permanently distinguish him from Superman.
