Trivia

The six letters in the word Shazam stood for the six elders who granted Billy their powers: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury.

In the comic book, the wizard Shazam grants Billy Batson the power of Captain Marvel, not the six gods themselves as in the TV show.

The character Mentor was more or less based on the character Uncle Dudley in the Captain Marvel comic books.
