It is the first solo book starring Mary Marvel since Mary Marvel 1945.Mary Bromfield (aka Mary Marvel/Lady Shazam) is starting as a freshman at Vassar College, New York, seeking to leave behind her old life with the Marvel Family and begin afresh (even going as far as telling her new roommates that her name is Marina).However, Hoppy, the pet rabbit of one of her roommates, is given power by Billy Batson, who is stuck on the rock of eternity, to tell her that he has chosen her to become the new Champion of Shazam. Mary tries to refuse, even after an initial fight as the new Shazam against a seemingly super-powered bank robber. However, she is forced to return to Philadelphia when police inform her that her adoptive parents have gone missing.She's then drawn into the mystery of how they, and hundreds of others, have disappeared and of other strange goings-on around the city, a mystery she's determined to solve in both her identities. |

Conservation of Ninjutsu: Averted/subverted. In her first battle as Shazam, Mary is almost literally blown away when an energy blast she fires is much stronger than she expected. Hoppy explains that now that the power of Shazam isn't split between the entire family, she is 5 times more powerful than before. Mary uses this to her advantage in order to defeat Disaster Master. |

comment |
Transformation Sequence: Most of the time, Mary's transformations happen instantaneously when she shouts "Shazam!". However, her climatic transformation in issue 4 has a longer lead-up, as lightning forms around her before she says the word, building up to her fully claiming the title Shazam. Her transformations back to her normal form are normally shown as well. |

Non-Human Sidekick: Hoppy, the current incarnation of Marvel Bunny, who serves as Mary's sidekick throughout the series. As well as being able to talk, he has some limited powers, being able to teleport himself and Mary to different places, and to sense magic (or 'non-magic') in people. He also plays a crucial role in defeating Dr Sivana at the climax. |
