    Why does Freddy say "Captain Marvel" instead of "Shazam"?

    @randypan: Yes, he says Captain Marvel because Captain Marvel gave him his powers. Just like Billy got his powers from the wizard Shazam and says his name to transform into Captain Marvel Freddy has to say Captain Marvel to turn into Captain Marvel Jr. You can read Whiz Comics 25 to see how it happens.
