In "The Vengeful Four," three young men named Billy Batson—Tall Billy from Texas, Hill Billy from the Ozarks, and Fat Billy from Brooklyn—each inspired by Captain Marvel’s adventures, test the legendary word "Shazam" with unexpected results. When they’re captured by Sivana and his gang, their simultaneous cry of the magic word triggers a surprising transformation, each becoming one of the Lieutenant Marvels, gaining powers similar to the Marvel. C. C. Beck’s dynamic art brings the moment to life in both story and cover, capturing the chaotic energy of a moment that redefines what it means to be a hero.
