Can Captain Marvel Speed Steal?
"billy gets the speed of mercury this is asking if he can use other gods abilities now has he shown to use other abilities of gods he doesnt have ascess to? "
He has used The Wisdom Of Solomon.....
"@comicdude23: wisdom of solomon is one of his natural powers not a power he doesnt have like this "
Speed stealing isn't a power, it's an ability.
"@comicdude23: sorry .... ability, than i thought power meant an actual power like super strength but abilities were things like knowing other laungages or being skilled at karate or something "
Not really.
Superman can phase, that is not a power, it is an ability.
"Captain Marvel has only the six powers and abilities given to him by Shazam plus the ability to transform into Captain Marvel / Billy Batson. He cannot steal other powers or abilities. "
I know.
But he has Mercurys powers.
"@comicdude23: actually this could be said as its a side application on his speed and his skill with it while the super speed is the power "
Yes.
Speed is the power.
He can use the Speed to steal.
For example Hercules has a certain degree of super human stamina yet Billy doesn't get his Stamina from the powers of Hercules rather from the "A" for Atlas. The magic of Shazam only gives him access to certain abilities of certain mythological characters...not the whole package =)
