#**Biography**

**William Joseph "Billy" Batson** is a troubled teenager from Pennsylvania who was abandoned by his mother at a young age. Billy spent most of his childhood going from foster home to foster home while making a bad rep for himself due to his delinquency and tendency to run away in pursuit of his biological mother. His life changed when he was chosen by the wizard Shazam to be his champion in a last ditch effort to thwart the evil of Thaddeus Sivana. Bill was granted the ability to transform into a superpowered avatar form bestowed with the Wisdom of **S**olomon, the Strength of **H**ercules, the Stamina of **A**tlas, the Power of **Z**eus, the Courage of **A**chilles, and the Speed of **M**ercury, invoked by a combination of each God's initials.
