Yeah, but if these are the wizards "behind Shazam" as the blurb said then, presumably, they are to represent the similar virtues as made up the original name -- Wisdom of Solomon, Strength of Hercules, Stamina of Atlas, Power of Zeus, Courage of Achilles, and Speed of Mercury.Originally Posted by K-DoG7p7
The original pantheon came down heavy on the Greek and Roman with one biblical figure thrown in so it might make sense to make things more international in flavor while keeping the ideas of Wisdom, Strength, Stamina, Power Courage and Speed. Or maybe updating things since Strength and Power seem to kind of duplicate and throw in some Compassion as well.
