Does anyone else think Captain Marvel Jr.'s name should be changed to just Captain Marvel, and Captain Marvel into just Marvel? That's what's happening in the Trials of Shazam! series, but I'm not sure if its too early to say its permanent. What are your opinions?
Freddy Freeman
Character » Freddy Freeman appears in 937 issues.
Freddie Freeman is foster brother of Billy Batson and one of the holders of the power of SHAZAM.
Name Change?
Freddy's new name isn't Captain Marvel. It's Shazam. Though yes, i do beleive that we should change the names.
Why did they have to call him Captain Marvel Jr. in the first place? Couldn't they of come up with something more original?
Problem is if we change it, all his early/golden age appearances will change in the issue summaries also. That could be confusing. We also have to keep in mind that someone that hasn't been reading in the last few (or even past) year would have no idea and would try to search Cap Marvel Jr.

A very good point. At least they didn't call him Captain Marvel Boy :)

Back on topic, obviously I changed the name. I figured just plain old "Freddy Freeman" would be enough so that folks can find him. Cap Marvel Jr, Shazam, etc are aliases so he can still be found that way.

well does it really matter what the name is, a search searches both their name and their aliases...so there name should be their current name while all past names are aliases
"isn't he playing Black Adam? Anyway, the fact that his name is shazam is somewhat dumb because now he can't say who he is without transforming...Then again, he couldn't say he was captain marvel jr before either.guess who is playing Shazam in the real life motion picture...
