Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Shazam!: The New Beginning was a four-issue mini-series that was published by DC Comics in 1987, following the release of the Legends mini-series but taking place just before it. The series was written by Roy and Dannette Thomas with art by Tom Mandrake. It was the first Post-Crisis adaptation of the origin of Captain Marvel that was considered canon until years later when it was replaced by The Power Of Shazam! by Jerry Ordway. Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium now relegates this story to "Earth-85" in the DC Multiverse. However, this series established a permanent change to the character: from then on, Captain Marvel is definitely Billy transformed into an adult superhero with his youthful personality, instead of Captain Marvel being vaguely treated as a separate individual as before.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })In this series, which is now mostly set in San Francisco, Billy Batson was orphaned by his parents as a teenager and, through a court case to determine who would have custody of the child, goes to live with his uncle Dr. Thaddeus Sivana instead of his great-uncle Dudley Batson. However, he soon finds out what Sivana was after and runs away, only to meet up with the ancient wizard Shazam who gives him the power to become Captain Marvel so he could deal with his Evil Counterpart Black Adam, who was released from exile into hyperspace by Sivana to Take Over the World. | |

Sequel Hook: Near the end of the final issue, Sivana is sitting in a bar drinking tequila and plotting how to get revenge on Captain Marvel, when the final panel focuses in on a worm sitting in the bottom of his glass, possibly hinting at a future appearance of Mister Mind in some form. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
| Shazam!: The New Beginning (Comic Book) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Black Adam, who was created by Shazam as originally a good character and guardian of ancient Egypt, until the power he wielded corrupted him and forced Shazam to exile him to the farthest star. Shazam learned from this not to give his powers to a grown person and instead bequeath them unto a child, hence the creation of Captain Marvel. | |

The Chosen Many | |
| Shazam!: The New Beginning (Comic Book) / int_a2fea27d | comment |
The Chosen Many: Inverted. Created by having not only Captain Marvel's origin being set in modern times as opposed to the Golden Age period, but also by having Captain Marvel at that point be the sole recipient of Shazam's powers, barring his Evil Counterpart Black Adam. Shazam briefly recalls the existence of the Marvel Family before the Crisis, and then immediately dismisses it as being "madness". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Shazam!: The New Beginning (Comic Book) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Billy compares the Sivanas' house to that of The Munsters. Billy mentions Star Trek when he runs into a magic force field protecting Shazam when he tries to rescue the wizard from being crushed under a big block hanging over his head. Billy wonders if Shazam had turned him into Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was first transformed into Captain Marvel. He also compares his new form to being "Rambo in a Santa Claus suit". When Billy changes into Captain Marvel so that he could attend his uncle Dudley's magic show as an adult, the ticket vendor comments if he should wait for the showing of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. | |

Continuity Snarl: With Legends, as during the series it was not known exactly where Billy's exploits regarding Macro-Man took place. (It was originally assumed to be Fawcett City, as there was a reporter from WHIZ-TV — the TV station Billy was working for in Pre-Crisis continuity — on the scene reporting the "death" of Macro-Man.) | |
