Personality: Having had the power for several years now, She is more mature than her brother and she tends to have a relatively short fuse in dealing with the ignorance of others at times, especially the other 2 Marvels. How they sometimes fail to fully grasp their gift of god given wisdom is beyond her. Recently however, Mary has struck out on her own, wanting to try and carve her own niche in the world and prove she can make it without riding the other 2 Marvel's capes Not quite the naive teen she was when she first gained the power of Shazam, she has done some growing up. Alot of it.
That's not to say that Mary doesn't know how to let her hair down. She does have a goofy side and a well developed sense of humor. She enjoys having fun as much as the next person. She is an intelligent young woman and hates seeing others suffer.
Packing a big heart in or out of costume, Mary is the trusting type. Some would say almost too trusting. She is loyal and will always bend over backwards to do what she can to help those less fortunate even without her costume on. And if (figuratively speaking) the need for the shirt off her back is required, the only question she'd ask first is what size do you wear?
Being out on her own now has helped Mary, or maybe it would be best not to describe it as a help, but in any case she doesn't look at the world through rose colored glasses much anymore. She does try to stay optimistic but has lived enough of life's experiences to realize the world isn't quite as black & white as some people think. Her free time is spent more in the presence of guy's than it used to be and though she is looking for the one she can call "Mr. Right, she still does have her own set of morals, they like her have just matured some.
Her greatest fear is that someday the same darkness that overtook the soul of Teh Adam and transformed him to Black Adam will overtake her own. Admittedly she does have a temper problem and works hard to keep it in check because of the aforementioned reaason. The possibility that darkness might over take them is a possibilty for any of the Marvels but though she may most in tune with the Wisdom of Solomon, she also has the greatest inner struggle with moral purity than the others have, a secrwet she has kept to herself thus far.
"With great power comes great responsibility"
Powers Granted the powers of 6 ancient deities, Mary has only to speak a word comprised of the first letter of each of their names to be granted the powers of the gods themselves. the 6 different power sources flow like a river and are channeled as one through magic. The 6 deities and the powers they empower her with can be broken down as follows.
S for the Wisdom of Solomon: As Mary Marvel, Mary has instant access to a vast amount of scholarly knowledge. The wisdom of Solomon also gives her clairvoyance and provides her with counsel and advice in times of need. She has knowledge of all languages, ancient and modern, and could hypnotize people also, although thus far never having chosen to use that ability.
* Superhuman Knowledge: Mary Marvel has exceptional photographic recall and mental acuity allowing her to read and decipher hieroglyphics, recall everything she has ever learned, solve long mathematical equations instantaneously and make intuitive guesses based on limited data to the point her guesses are almost always correct.
* Clairvoyance: an uncanny awareness of her circumstances that allows her to turn disadvantages into advantages, an understanding of divine interactions with the mortal world.
* Omni-lingual
* Hypnosis: can occasionally hypnotize people as well, through this power.
H for the Strength of Hercules: Dubbed "The Maid of Might" Mary Marvel has incredible amounts of super strength, is strong enough to lift at least 100 tons , is able to effortlessly bend steel, punch through walls, and lift massive objects. Marvel's strength, equal to her brother's, is enough that she can fight beings such as Superman or Wonder Woman to a standstill. Mary (alongside the other Marvels and Black Adam) is considered as one of the strongest physical powerhouses on Earth, matched only by the Man of Steel himself.
* Superhuman Strength: Olympian flesh and bone is about three times as dense as similar human tissue, contributing to the Olympians' superhuman strength and weight.
A for the Stamina of Atlas: Using Atlas' endurance, Mary Marvel can withstand and survive most types of extreme physical assaults.
* Superhuman Stamina: Her Olympian metabolism provides her with far greater than human endurance in all physical activities.
Z for the Power of Zeus: Zeus' power, besides fueling the magic thunderbolt that transforms Mary Marvel, also enhances Mary's other physical abilities, provides physical invulnerability and resistance against most magic spells and attacks, and allows for inter-dimensional travel. Marvel can use the lightning bolt as a weapon by dodging it and allowing it to strike an opponent or target. The magical lightning has many uses, including creating apparatus, restoring damage done to Marvel, or acting as fuel for magical spells.
* Magical Resistance
* Physical Enhancement
* Inter-dimensional Travel: This can only be used to travel to the Rock of Eternity
* Spell Source
* Advanced Healing
A for the Courage of Achilles: Like the wisdom, this aspect is primarily psychological, and gives Marvel superhuman amounts of inner strength from which to draw.
* Invulnerability: If she were somehow wounded, her godly energies would enable him to recover with superhuman speed. It would take an injury of such magnitude that it dispersed a major portion of his bodily molecules to cause her a physical death. Even then, it might be possible for a god of significant power, such as Zeus, Poseidon and Apollo or for a number of Olympian gods of equal power working together to revive her.
* Superhuman Inner Strength: She is always supported by an innate and harmonious presence of good will and strength of perseverance in that she never backs down from a challenge.
M for the Speed of Mercury: By channeling Mercury's speed, Mary Marvel, while not as fast as the flash, can fly and move at speeds exceeding Mach 10 (2 miles a second) while in earth's atmosphere and at near-light speeds while in space. Hermes Trismegistus (Greek for "thrice-great Hermes"), an occultist aspect of Hermes/Mercury, also gives her the ability to wield magic and cast spells, though she has never used this as Mary Marvel, for lack of necessity.
* Super Speed: She can move at incredible speeds, possibly equal to Superman. She can move fast enough to not register in the normal peripheral range of humans and seemingly vanish and disappear at will. At this speed, her mind processes information on par to a computer or at least on a subliminal level that she is aware of her surroundings.
* Flight: Mary Marvel can also mystically fly through the atmosphere through sure act of will, enabling her to soar through the atmosphere at sub-orbital levels and travel across the planet. She is immune from the effects of extreme height, such as dizziness and lightheadedness. With effort, she can travel from the earth to the moon, but requires extra-precautionary paraphernalia for interstellar travel. Thanks to the power of Mercury Marvel can fly at close to light speed through space.
* Sorcery: unused much by her but allowing for the ability to wield magics and cast spells
Weapons N/A
Strengths/Abilities:
Well skilled with computers
Works well with animals
Athletic. stays in excellent condition while in normal form.
Weaknesses: (at least 2)
Superior magic. Also if she is in her normal form and is unable to speak the magic word, she can't transform. Also vulnerable to mental attacks. Her brother and CM3 share the power source so if two of them are using the power at the same time it is divided in half. If all 3 are using it at once, each only has a third of it. Mary is also a hopeless coffee addict. Superior weaponry can also affect her. Though invulnerable, her invulnerability has it's limits

History: Mary Batson's early childhood was often spent with her brother as a latch-key kid, as her parents, as the archaeologists they were, were almost always off on one expedition or another. That was until They had come home from their latest trip for some quality bonding time as a family. It was shortly after Mary's 5th birthday when as a gift to the young girl and after caving in to Mary's pleadings they decided to take Mary along on an expedition to Egypt. They had originally planned to take Billy too but his grades were lacking at the time and decided he needed to stay at home with a sitter to focus on schooling.
During the expedition, tragedy struck when a member of the C.C. Batson's traveling party, Theo Adam, savagely turned on both he and Marilyn Batson and murdered them both in cold blood. After kidnapping Mary, Adam returned to the U.S. where she was taken care of briefly by Adam's sister Sarah Primm who then arranged for Mary to be adopted by wealthy couple Nick & Nora Bromfield. As Mary Bromfield, the young girl grew up living a near perfect life in a wealthy family in Fairfield, a small suburb of a bigger city known as Fawcett, which sit on the northern border of Indiana, not far from Gary. Despite her fairy tale existence however, Mary repeatedly spent night after night dreaming of the day she might hopefully be reunited with her brother.
Years later, with the memories of her brother and images of what he looked like becoming nearly invisible traces, Mary made it to the regional round of a spelling bee being held in Fawcett City. It was there that Mary finally became reunited with her long lost brother, although that fact as well of his secret identity were both things she was still unaware of. Not long after that Mary was kidnapped by some rather shiftless racketeers who had tried to force her adopted father to "play ball" in accordance with a business dealing or two and retaliated viciously when Nick Bromfield refused. Fortunately she was rescued by Captain Marvel who by then had realized the resemblance between Mary Bromfield and Mary Batson. After doing some investigating Billy discovered, thanks to an undercover cop that Sarah Primm had illegally forged Mary's adoption papers, unknowingly to the Bromfields to protect her from Adam.
Captain Marvel then flew out to Fairfield to present Mary with the forged papers but after changing back to Billy, was captured by the crooks who helped Primm forge the papers. Mary soon discovered the package that Billy dropped containing the papers and her old Tawky Tawny doll. Not having seen Billy and with no inkling he was in trouble, she opens the package and to her amazement the doll comes to life, informs her of Billy's predicament and instructs Mary to say the word Shazam. She does so and for the first time is transformed into Mary Marvel who, in resemblance, is an adult super powered heroine in the spitting image of her deceased mother.
After rescuing Billy and learning his secret, the rest as they say is history. Mary returns back home to the Bromfields who eventually make not only Mary's adoption legal but legally adopt Billy also, after moving out of Fairfield and closer to the heart of Fawcett City. It was there in Fawcett City that she would soon meet a crippled, newspaper selling teen named Freddy Freeman. After taking him to the Wizard Shazam, Mary and Billy both share their powers with him to save his life, allowing him to be christened Captain Marvel Junior. For the next several years through thick and thin and with all the ups and downs they were a team. More than a team they are a family...The Marvel Family. After working exclusively (for the most part) with Cap and CM3 for years, Mary has in the few years struck out on her own, seeking independence in New York City while also maintaining a brief membership in the JLA. She now works almost exclusively on her own but is looking to once again become part of a team.

Writing Sample:
The Maiden of Might's reasoning for flying in like the cavalry at top speed were two-fold. First to drive this Godzilla back below sea level before it came further inland. The line had to be held here on Ellis Island. No way would Mary allow it past her to get into a populated area. Secondly she wanted to end this quick for a more personal reason Her town was being wrecked and the feminine portion of the Mar4vel Family was no less territorial about her turf than Super5man would be about Metropolis or the Dark Knight would be about Gotham. The fact that the shady monstrosity resembled her brother and dared to impersonate him made it worse. Sure anyone with even less than 20/20 vision could tell them apart but her brother was also missing.
It stuck in her craw that Diana had practically ordered her to turn around and head to New York City despite how logical the reasoning was. She was needed here since everyone else was tied up worse than a hard pretzel but the thought of what could be happening in Fawcett added fuel to the fire and added energy to her first strike against the creature, which she had realized after she landed from her first blow that was not a shady beast. The elders had clued her in to that before she even swung actually. She had no idea what she and the queen of the sear were facing and judging by the look on her face, neither did Mera unless Mary read her game-face wrong.
The creature squealed following Mary's strike to it's head that rose above the surface, successfully maneuvering her way through the tentacles it used to block her charge with. the beast was driven back a bit and was in noticeable pain but with the known strength and power of any member of the Marvel Family, and since Mary was the only in in the JLA at present, she was one of their strongest members, her opening act wasn't everything she had but it wasn't far from it either. She should have dealt more damage then it appeared.
Quickly reaching the conclusion of what Mera was up to when she leaped toward a tentacle and tried to stab it, Mary was thankful she seemed to be the focus of the monster's attention so Mera could stab away with little resistance. While the queen was attacking one tentacle, Mary hovered and played tag with the others that it swung with the thing tried rising further abover the surface.
Blood splattered in all directions. The gash Mera's spear opened was deep but when it's loud, ear splitting scream rang out, it seemed to be more from surprise that it'd been injured than from the actual pain. Clearly this thing wasn't a normal, run of the mill sea beast, and if it wasn't normal, not a shady monster and not Atlantean, Mary could only wonder at what it truly was. Whether ot not it would take all night to figure it out remained to be seen but Mary knew what she had to do next.
This thing was on or very close to land now, and since she'd been called in it was now a JLA matter. She wouldn't complain about or refuse Mera's assistance but if things got worse it was on the JLA'S head, or rather on Mary's now to be bluntly honest.
The shriek that the monster gave didn't do Mary Marvel's membranes much better than it probably did Mera's. Mary felt it but it only fueled her intensity and determination. Still monopolizing the creature's complete attention, or most of it at least, Mary dove beneath the water and grabbed for another tentacle along the way, lifting the creature high into the air, it was her turn yet again and she could do nothing but pray to her sextet of benefactors as she rose into the air gave the beast a 180 and drove it back down beneath the waves. If this didn't take the starch out if it then both heroines would need to get their heads together and regroup. A better mousetrap would be called for.
