Synopsis for "The Power of Marvel"
William Batson is an orphan who all of a sudden swept away into a dimension. This sudden moment is caused by the warp that occured when the Flash tapped into the Speed Force. He meets Shazam, who tells him that he is at the Rock of Eternity. He tells him that he will be the new champion of the gods. And that he must defend the world from evils like Black Adam. He explains that Teth-Adam was chosen long ago but went corrupt with the power and became an evil entity. Shazam imprisoned his soul within the walls of a scarab. William accepts the responsibility and is endowed with the power of Captain Marvel.
