    He's called Shazam these days.
    What kind of country have we become?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?

    According to wikipedia:

    Due to trademark conflicts over another character named "Captain Marvel" owned by Marvel Comics since 1967, DC chose to publish the character's adventures under the comic book Shazam! for many years, leading many to assume that this was the character's name. DC later renamed the character "Shazam" when relaunching its comic book properties in 2011.

    Right should be along soon to tell us that anyone can edit Wiki.

    Just like anyone can PhotoShop a Confederate flag into an old photo of Hillary.

    You're confusing the DC Comics "Captain Marvel"...aka SHAZAM!...with Marvel Comics Captain Marvel. Marvel Comics Captain Marvel is Carol Danvers. Formerly "Ms. Marvel" of the X-men and the only X-men member to not be a mutant (though she has both psychic and paranormal powers). In Marvels universe she and the Scarlet Witch protect the earth from Ultron the destoryer.

    In DC Comics Captain Marvel is the alter ego of Billy Batson, a teenage homeless boy who meets a wizard who grants him the powers of the ancient Greek gods if he says the word "SHAZAM!" where a bolt of lightning transforms him into the red suited, white caped Captain Marvel.

    You're thinking of the DC comic character. The link is for Marvel Comics "Captain Marvel".

    It's make believe.
    We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
    Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
    Ergo, religion.

    rac·ist
    rāsəst/noun
    a person who believes that a particular race is superior to another.
    Ask yourself honestly if this describes what you believe to be true.
    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.
