Posting the final chapter of a fic is always a mixture of sadness that it’s over but also pride that you made it. You wrote a thing nobody else in the world has written ever
rereading my own fic and every single line is hitting because i wrote it specifically to cater to my extremely particular interests
“My lord, I know you are the demon lord and I am but a lowly advisor, but please listen to me. I suggest that instead of sending the hero slightly stronger demons to kill each time, we just send the strongest one right away”
Wait. WAIT. This train of thought could lead to some incredible shenanigans. What if Billy thinks that Phantom is the ghost of a previous Marvel. Vaguely immortal? Check, but could just be a ghost thing. Speaks about the gods like he personally knows them? Slightly more suspicious. Knows lots of strange and random historical facts, a lot of which Billy knows simply from being Marvel?
...Shit, Phantom was the previous Marvel. Of course he wasn't the first kid Marvel, is he going to die a teenager? Billy kind of wants to live, but if he over does it, will he turn out just like Phantom too?
Billy's having a crisis and Danny is just kinda worried about his coworker. He'd never had a problem with him being a dead teenager before, why is Marvel looking at him like he kicked a puppy but also holds all of life's answers?
I have seen some Flash recognizing Danny’s Lichtenberg figure scars but consider: what if Captain Marvel recognized them instead?
What if Billy got them whenever he transformed back into a kid?
A fun fact about Lichtenberg figures: They are, in most cases, not permanent!
They occur when an electricity surge causes blood vessels to burst & cause “fern-like patterns” on the skin.
As a result, while Billy’s Lichtenberg figures do fade, he gets brand new scars whenever he transforms back. It would add some fun limitations and inner character conflict to Billy. It would prevent him from having unlimited transformations into Captain Marvel & would give Billy a reason to not become Captain Marvel/Shazam often because Billy’s normal body would just get covered in very noticeable and very distinguishable scars that can take up to 48 hours to fade. Let’s also add the limitation that if he overdid it enough, they could have the possibility of being permanent.
Billy would also have to make sure to not be wearing metal or anything fairly conductive when he transforms, or he’d get a burned imprint of whatever metal he was wearing on his skin.
So: no jewelry or piercings for him unless he wants a burn in the shape of the necklace he was wearing, a scar in the shape of a watch on his wrist, etc.
In other words, Billy would be able to recognize Lichtenberg Figures instantly as he would have A Lot of expertise and experience in knowing what they look like and the consequences touching metal when getting zapped.
With that in mind: imagine that at the end of a rough battle that called in all of the JL on-world; Captain Marvel sees the oddly thin rubber of Phantom’s hazmat suit completely shredded away above his left elbow and notices a familiar scar pattern radiating from a nasty looking burn scar on Phantom’s palm and Shazam just freezes.
More fanart for @st-whalefall and their awesome story 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'! I've reread it so many times by now, it's an incredible read.
GCPD: Why the hell do you know how to safely disarm a missile launcher?? We didn't teach you this??
Dash, using his go-to answer: When you live in the same town as the Fentons, you survive or die. And when you die, you have to do it again except they really try to kill you the second time.
Dash works at the GCPD. It’s been an interesting first few weeks. He can’t quite understand why everyone is so afraid of these rogues that the Bats and the Birds fight.
The other officers in the station just thought Dash’s comments on the matter was just the new guy talking shit. They ate their words when the newbie brought The fucking Joker into the station in handcuffs single-handedly.
Alternatively, they burst in to find Danny locked in a stare down, repeating the lines in unison. The Joker won't take this challenge lying down! Who will break first?
Well, the Joker when he gets tackled by Batman. Batman ruined the game! He'll have to find the kid again so they can finish the game.
Danny, who just wants to sleep and not be in some kind of witness protection that gets him set up with the Waynes, is not amused.

Danny gets kidnapped by the joker
The joker is doing this Live on TV, to gwt The attention of Batman.
He is doing his villain monologue
" -you know? It so crazy that-"
" Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room, a Rubber room, a Rubber room with rats. Rats? Rats make me crazy. Crazy? I was crazy once. They locked me in a room, a Rubber room, a Rubber room with rats. Rats? Rats make me crazy. Crazy?-"
When the Batfam arrives the Joker is crying on the floor while in the fetal position, Danny is still going at it, and he is not stopping any time soon
