    Is there a loop hole where DC could still use the Captain Marvel name just by changing the spelling? I know they can use his name within the comics, just not advertise with it or put it on the front cover. A simple spelling change may solve that though.

    Here's my thoughts.

    Captain Marvell

    Captain Marvil

    Captain Marve-l

    Captain Marv-el

    Captain Marval

    Captain Mar-vel

    Captain M'arvel

    I think they should stick with Shazam especially with the Captain Marvel movie coming out it would reduce brand confusion.
