    Various comic wiki sites such as Comic Vine, DC Database, and Wikipedia. Cross-referenced to try and get as much accurate info as possible and to make sure things check out. That's what I could gather from them.

    That sounds stupid, The Big Red Cheese was never called SHAZAM, it was only his books that were changed

    I don't agree with it either, I'll still call them by their original classic names as well. But, it is what it is sadly.

    That all changed right before the Nu 52 Era. There was a story where the original wizard Shazam died, and Billy Batson became the NEW Shazam. He changed his name to Shazam, and donned a white costume, instead of his traditional red. He also had long, white, wizardly hair.

    That was back around 2006. Then, when the Nu 52 reboot happened in September 2011, Billy Batson went back to an (updated 21st Century version of) his classic red costume (the basis for the new Style Set in-game,) but DC Comics kept his superhero name as Shazam. :rolleyes:

    In the late 2000s, when Billy replaced the wizard and took on a white costume and the name of "Marvel", he commanded the various magical abilities once owned by the wizard. However, he was required to remain on the Rock of Eternity and could only be away from it for 24 hours at a time.[132]

    Since the 2011 reboot, Shazam's powers have been slightly altered. Speaking the magic word "Shazam" does not cause a transformation if Billy does not want it to, and can be used to cast magic spells other than the transformation.[99] He can share his magical powers and bestow unique powers onto members of his family, "family" in this case extending to chosen and foster relations, without weakening himself.[133] Shazam also demonstrates the ability to use magic in as-yet-unexplored ways, on one occasion using it to conjure items

    Had some Quarks built up, so I picked up the Void material for my progression villain and came up with this as a first draft of sorts.

    That's Negative Speed Force on the feet, waist, hands and face.

    And after coming up with this when I got the Superman anniversary emblem (yes, it's a repost)...

    ...I used that as the basis for another outfit after getting the Batman anniversary emblem.

    Totally lucked out on the Batsignal in the background, too. :D

    That... sounds even worse: they have basically removed all limitations and weaknesses
    Let's give a rousing round for the talents of the DC writers *chirrup-chirrup*

    Tried about 10+ pages of chest styles, not all are glossy like the Metalhead gloves, butt they all look black... except for the Reverse Slimline

    Do have one character who has the 000000 Hex and the RS looks black, just something about the 010000 doesn't seem to work with RS

    Thanks. Unfortunately, there isn't a green Material that would have the appropriate look for Ragman, so I'll just have to skip it. :oops:

    Tweaked some things.

    My latest updates to "Arbok Commander" to make him look more like the real "Cobra Commander" that he's based on. Found a hood and mask combo that I can use to replicate his metal mask, and also a shoulder style that I like well enough to give him his military epaulets, on his standard blue costume. For the black version, I reversed the gold of the epaulets and the silver of the faceplate, along with going for a different chest style to change it up a bit. However, this shirt doesn't allow for any logo placement, so I got the belt from the Kryptonian capsule and applied his "Cobra" insignia to it as an alternative.

    Yeah. It was Freddy Freeman that ended up going by Shazam during that period, in Trials of Shazam, I believe.

    Wish there was a better waist style, but it was either this or Druid, and I hate the amulet thing that hang off that one, sooo...

    May tweak the colors a bit into black and white for a bit as a tribute to Tom Tyler.

    Have you considered the Formal waist? Except, that has a jewel in the center

    looks pretty good!
    I see you went with the Blood Bat Boots instead of the Clean Cuffed ones
