Even though Superman is often considered the most powerful character in the DC Universe, Shazam definitely comes close, and he can even beat the Man of Steel. And with a massive power upgrade, there's no question that Shazam can meet Superman blow for blow—despite the upgrade's terrible side effects.
For most of the fight, Shazam is winning without using the full extent of his powers because of his deep respect for Superman. While Superman ultimately wins, it's only because he's able to cover Batson's mouth.
Shazam is in a similar strength class as Superman, but he is also able to use lightning at his command. Shazam's magical powers give him a clear advantage over Superman whenever they meet in battle. The two heroes have fought quite a few times, with Shazam almost always taking the win unless outside forces are at play.
In short, Black Adam should be Shazam's equal, but some of his powers are beyond Billy Batson's abilities. Black Adam also has allies that help him overcome entire squads of superheroes. Then, Black Adam has a lot of combat experience, while Shazam is, in fact, a child.
That's because Shazam is powered by magic, one of Superman's few weaknesses. Magic isn't as foolproof a weapon against Superman as kryptonite, but it can cut through his defenses and cause him pain.
The Hulk's Gamma-Powered Strength Would Continue To Increase Over The Battle With Shazam. The Hulk is the strongest one there is in the Marvel universe.
17 Weakness: Electricity
It may seem strange, but despite his reliance on lightning for his power, Billy is highly susceptible to electricity. This means that if he is hit with a powerful enough blast of electricity, Shazam will be transformed back into Billy Batson.
Whether Shazam is faster than Superman really depends on the writers. Sometimes Shazam has been depicted as vastly surpassing Superman both on foot and in flight, and in some newer instances, Shazam has been depicted as slower.
Thor wins. Not only is Thor a better combatant and more experienced, but he also can be stronger than Shazam by using Megingjord to augment his superhuman strength. Additionally, Thor is more invulnerable than Shazam and has a better understanding and grasp of magical and mystical energies.
While kryptonite is Superman's greatest weakness, he's susceptible to other forms of energy and threats. This makes Billy Batson — aka Shazam, the World's Mightiest Mortal — one of Superman's greatest opponents.
If anybody from the MCU could defeat Superman, it's Scarlet Witch. After defeating five members of the Illuminati, consisting of Professor X, Captain Marvel, Captain Carter, Mr. Fantastic, and Black Bolt, we don't want to imagine what Scarlet Witch could do to Superman.
Superman's reaction to the reveal that Billy Batson is actually Shazam, is complete contempt for whoever put this responsibility on Billy's shoulders. Superman even goes and talks to the Wizard, the man responsible for giving Billy his powers. While talking to the Wizard, Superman yells at him, "What is wrong with you?
Captain Marvel, aka Shazam, is one of the most powerful heroes DC has to offer. He's on Superman's level, though Shazam's powers are derived from magic. However, being powerful is not what makes Shazam worthy of Mjolnir. In fact, Shazam is not the one who is worthy of the hammer; Billy Batson is.
Thor, being a god himself, surpasses the power levels of the individual gods Shazam draws his abilities from. Therefore, Thor's divine heritage, his godlike power, and his mastery of Mjolnir provide him with the necessary advantage to defeat Shazam in battle.
Shazam has rarely faced a foe like Loki's likes, but he has powers that would allow him to see through Loki's tricks. Shazam is strong enough to fight the Norse god and overpower him physically directly.
As far as strength is concerned, it's pretty much a wash. Earth's yellow sun gives Superman immense strength, while Black Adam's strength is, literally, a gift from the gods, specifically Amon. A street brawl between the two could go on for days with neither gaining the upper hand.
Shazam can fly at the speed of light, which makes him faster than almost any other hero, but both Barry Allen and Wally West are able to move at speeds faster than light, meaning that while they would have to push themselves, at least two Flashes are faster than Shazam.
Shazam's sworn archenemy, Doctor Sivana uses both science and magic to carry out his evil schemes. Shazam may be the World's Mightiest Mortal, but there's one villain who has consistently given him a run for his money—the evil genius known as Doctor Thaddeus Sivana.
When Teth-Adam says the magic word "Shazam", he is transformed into the Mighty Adam, a superpowered being possessing the same powers that Captain Marvel would later be granted; however, the Mighty Adam is soon corrupted by the vastness of his powers.
Originally, Shazam was a powerful wizard of ancient Egyptian/Canaanite origin whose birth name was Jebediah. As a child, he was bestowed the powers of Gods of Canaanite origin and was referred to as simply the Champion, growing up to becoming an ancient hero and keeper of the Rock of Eternity.
Each member of this version of the Shazam Family shares their power equally with the others, so if the six members are transformed at once, each of them gets only a fraction of the power level.
Unfortunately for him, strength is his only superpower. Additionally, if an opponent is strong enough to beat Hulk before he gets overwhelmingly strong, Hulk would lose the fight. Shazam is strong enough to do so, which would give him the win.
Z: Zeus (Power)
Zeus is the godhead of the Greek pantheon, and it doesn't get much godlier than that. As such, all of Shazam's stranger powers can be attributed to Zeus. The most crucial of Zeus' gifts is the power of the lightning itself.
While their powers are mostly similar with no apparent limits, one would wonder who would win in a fight between these two rivals. Black Adam would win in a fight against Shazam. He's stronger, more invulnerable to bodily harm, wiser, and a better combatant with more experience than Shazam.
