You gotta watch your back in this cruel world, or the cats (flerkins) might just get’cha.
Ever since I watched Captain Marvel I’ve had a conspiracy theory that isn’t completely far fetched. My theory is that all cats on Earth are actually flerkins, they’re just staying on the down-low because they enjoy feeling like the little gods we treat them as. If you think about it, the green, Aussie alien dude (who’s name I forget) didn’t know what a cat was, that implies that all flerkins look like cats so for all we know all the cats on earth could be flerkins.
Clint: That’s not a watermelon, that’s a fetus!
Nat: You shoulda kicked him in the nuts
Tony: You know what I is!
Also Tony: I’m a vagina expert
Sam to Bucky: Too painful to date
Bruce: In space there’s always a bigger rock
Wanda: Troublesome gay
Peter when someone says don’t fail: I fail at everything
Shuri: And not get pushed off roofs by furries
Bucky: So last night I ditched my friends and made an accurate representation of my soul. Cold, hard, black, shiny stone. Also somewhat damaged and incomplete.
Scott: I can’t believe they landed on me having sex! I mean get a room!
Pepper: Thanks, I hate it
Steve: I’m American
Peter from the other room: I thought you were a lesbian!
Carol: Okay who here isn’t gay?
Hope: Thanks, wish you weren’t here
Vision: I’ve tested positive for gay
Loki (even though technically not an Avenger): I LOVE STABBING CHILDREN!!
Tchalla: I ripped it apart with my bare hands!
Thor, clueless: What’s a handjob?
What if Danny Fenton and Billy Batson become fast friends. Danny is annoyed at cultists trying to send "brides" to the Ghost King. Billy is weirded out when adults try to flirt with Captain Marvel. Danny hits upon the idea that they should be each other's beards. If the Ghost King and the Champion of Magic are very publicly dating, that should keep unwanted suitors off their backs, right?
Of course they are both absolute Chaos Gremlins about it.
Cultist: We offer you this sacrifice, oh great king!
Danny: One moment please *whips out fenton phone* Hey honey, guess what? Some idiots are trying to tempt me away from you again. You got my coordinates?
Billy: *Kool Aid man entrance* Who dares?!
Cultists: Run awaaaaay!
***********
Captain Marvel takes a hit while fighting a villain. Phantom out of nowhere with a steel chair!
Danny: Nobody hurts my schnookums!
Everyone: ???
************
Captain Marvel brings Phantom to the next JL potluck as his plus one, with Danny in full creepy ghost mode.
Billy: Oh yes, we've been on again, off again for the last thousand years or so. We have our differences, but nobody gets me quite like he does! *exaggarated dreamy sigh*
Hal: That's nice...
Meanwhile Danny is shoving an entire burger in his mouth, displaying multiple rows of sharp teeth.
Danny: Man, I love the 21st century! Food sure has changed a lot since I died. And the technology!
Ollie: Oh? When did you die?
Danny: *glares* It's incredibly rude to ask a ghost about their death
Nearby Leaguers are edging away, nervous about being on the menu next.
Flash: Hotdogs! Who wants hotdogs?!
Danny: Oh, me! As long as they don't fight back
Everyone: wtf is going on here
Could you do a tweet about pigs flying and having a Leaguer (maybe Nightwing?) getting confused
I really enjoyed reading these tweets. They’re really good :))))
Thank you!

I never had as much fun watching a marvel project as during the dancing scene at aamir and tyeshas wedding.
Please I would like to know, I think your writing and your fanfics on AO3 are wonderful!
— Mister Void, at your pleasure.🖤🗝
(Notice: Mister Void was asking about my AU and/or headcanons, but for some reason Tumblr bugged and it didn't appear)
OH YES PLEASE LET ME!!!😍🤩No one ever wanted to hear about it🥲
I feel like:
I think that's why she's one of my strongest Kins- BUUuuuut going back
It's not exactly an AU, since I didn't write anything anywhere, I just have it all stored in the back of my brain.It's more like a preference and a mix of several Headcanons and concepts that I took from some fanfics I read on AO3.
Like for example, the Batfam being absolute cryptids and scaring the shit out of everyone else in the hero community. For this trope, I usually like to think of the Batfam as having managed to build functional, realistic and beautiful wings.
Oh yeah, and let's not forget the classic bird language. Oh oh and the feline like claws and pads on the gloves too!Also, I like to think that Billy joined the family like, half a week after being invited to the League, seriously, he may be magical and a little more mature, but he's still a kid, and the Bats only need one slip-up from him to put the pieces together.
I also like to think that this Billy doesn't have the others from Shazamily, yet, because I want him, the way he is, to look at this bunch of orphaned street kids(and his lost twin sister of course), and simply give a Batman, taking them to the mansion just to shock everyone that the first one(technically second because of the whole Park Row's children and Jason thing) to start having Bruce's addiction to adoption was not Dick but Billy.
And even though I haven't put this in either of the two fanfics I've written so far, I'd like Bruce's parents(and Alfred) and Clark's parents to meet before the two were even born yet, and for them to grow up as brothers, and for the Kent farm to be an escape from Gotham's overwhelming elite and the spotlight for Bruce.
I want a young, stubborn Bruce to take a young, scared Clark around the farm and find Clark's ship, I want them to find out sooner what Clark is, who he was, his birth name, I want this duo of kids to be the ones to find out that Diana Prince is Wonder Woman and for her to take them as apprentices (References to an AO3 fic called Shadow Demon, it's really good, oh and I'm also getting a little bit of Alternative Heroes, Same Hearts).
I want a good relationship and communication between the Batfam, make Alfred forcefully shove an angry teenage Bruce into a therapy room, and of course, the training with the monks, and make him be very grateful for that now that he has to take care of other traumatized and vengeful little humans.
I want Jason to be caught sooner, that he was trying to steal Batman's tires to buy medicine for his mother, I want Bruce to take this child and feed him and promise to help in the best way possible, I want Bruce to take him to the moldy apartment that the boy calls home, I want him to realize the state of his mother, I want her to have already left, that she took advantage of Jason's departure to be able to get rid of her pain without having to do it in front of him. I want Bruce to comfort a young and hysterical Jason, I want this boy to cry himself to sleep only to wake up wrapped in the softest sheets of his entire life.
I want a Bruce who reveals his identity to Jim before he even considers taking a young, eager Barbara under his wings, okay? I want a responsible Bruce.
And don't make poor Lucius have so much stress.
I want Bruce to notice the little shadow following them (seriously, I think it's cool that Tim managed to do this without getting caught, but not here, Batman, Batwoman [yes, she comes sooner, i want Kate to come visit her cousin and see the shit he's doing and refuse to leave until he includes her] and Robin have wings, with sensors to feel things that normal people don't feel, like changes in the air, or even sensors to smell more specifically.), I want Bruce to notice that the neighbors left, but his son didn't go with them, I want Bruce to pick up this abandoned boy and wrap him in a hug.
I want him to see the daughter of one of the Rougues trying to sabotage her father, I want him to accept the help willingly and try to slowly gain her trust, I want a Bruce who saves Stephanie from her own father, I want a Bruce who couldn't save her mother, I want a Steph who even though she's sad doesn't blame him. I don't want Tim and Steph to date. I want them to be siblings. I want them to be best friends. I want them to be like twins. I want them to be chaos gremilins together!
I want Talia to not be evil, I want her to be essentially kind, I want a Talia who blames herself millions for what she did to Bruce, I want a Talia who looks at this tiny baby in her arms and loves him unconditionally, I want a Talia who can't stand watching the training her father gives to her baby, her son, I want Talia to take a 3-4 year old Damian and take him to Bruce, I want her to get hurt in the escape, I want Bruce to save her, but I also want her to run away, run away far away so that the LoA doesn't get close to her little and adorable Dami, nor her beloved, or the children he took as his. I want them to have a complicated, distant, forbidden, cursed by others, but true and lasting love.
I want the cat and bat game to be between Kate and Selina, I want more lesbian couples!!!Harley and Ivy? Stuning lesbians.
Oh, and the Joker and Jason incident... I want a Jason who feels so loved in a way he's never felt before that he musters up the courage to talk to his father(!), I want him to tell Bruce about Sheila, I want a Bruce who is an unconditionally loving and supportive father who offers to take him to where she is, I want him to warn him about the Joker, I want the bomb to go off with Bruce opening the warehouse doors just in time to just look at his Jaylad and he looks back and neither of them can get any closer.
I don't want a Bruce who kills the Jokerbut I want a Bruce who beats him to the point of paralysis.
I want Clark to be forced to leave the country at top speed to stop Bruce, but not to save the Joker, I want it to be to help his crying brother, to stop him from destroying himself with the clown.
I want that whole thing about or whoever wrote Alfred putting a "Good Soldier" plaque on Jason's grave to go to the fucking hell, I want him to have a proper burial, I want Park Row to mourn the death of one of their own who managed to get out of poverty and still come back to help them, I want Crime Alley to mourn the death of their little bird.
I want Tim to take a lot longer to take up the mantle of Robin, I want a Steph who stays with her no-twin even more, I want a Bruce who after talking to Clark and Diana makes everyone go to therapy, I want Ivy to help Harley recover from that bastard clown, I want Bruce to go see how the two are.
I want Talia to see a revived Jason wandering and take him in, I want her to try to start making amends with Bruce by starting by taking care of his lost boy, I want her to start seeing him as hers too, I want Damian and Jason to be brothers, I want Talia to show the state the Joker is in, I want her to show that it took Clark to get Bruce away from the clown's decrepit body, I want her to show how his family scared the city so much that not only the rougues avoided going out at night, I want Talia to take them both back to Bruce.
I want them to cuddle in a pile of love and affection, I want a Talia still being treated to be in that pile too, I want that even with her away most of the time, the kids see her as a mother.
I want Tim to take up the mantle of Robin with Jason's blessing. And I want Steph to finally come out as Batgirl.
I want a young Cass to be noticed as soon as she sets foot in Gotham, I want it to be during one of Talia's visits, I want my couple to take this girl raised to be a weapon and turn her into a real child, I want everyone in the mansion to learn ASL when she prefers to gesture rather than speak most of the time. I want Steph to hand her over to Batgirl with Barbara's blessing and the two of them to go out together on Cass's first patrol with Tim hot on their heels.
And I want Bruce to find out about the "we are Robin" movement, I want Bruce to take this boy who started a gang under his wing.
I want Bruce to see this city and the heroes who disappeared out of nowhere and came back out of nowhere, I want the trinity to invite Marvel to the League, I want Bruce to discover that the Champion of Magic, Fawcette's main hero, an idol to many (and to Clark, who was very disappointed when he found out that Marvel wasn't Kryptonian), is a homeless child. I want Bruce to gain his trust, I want Bruce to give him a family and promise to find this boy's sister.
I want a Bruce who, after the invasion of Starro, sees this little star in his hands and can't resist his children wanting to keep him (and he himself wanted to too-), I want Jarro to be included in things, I WANT HIM TO HAVE THE LOVE HE DESERVES, OKAYY!?!?!?!
I want the current Justice League to be new, I want Bruce to be the first father and I want no one but Diana, Clark and Billy to know... Oh, and Barry too, since Dick would be best friends with Wally from an early age.
I want a Bruce who doesn't kill, but I also want a Bruce who doesn't force his rules and morals down his children's throats, I want a Bruce who understands that his children are individual beings, I want Bruce to understand that his children can and do have different morals and views.
I want Jon and Damian to be raised like Clark and Bruce were.
I want Clark to see this clone that looks about Tim's age and not think twice about bringing him home. I want Kon and Tim to be Bi best friends.
Oh and Kara!! I want Kara and Babs to be a thing, I want them together!!! I want my third lesbian coupleee!!
I want Kate and Selina, Ivy and Harley to be the cool aunts who take the kids out to cause chaos.
I want Bruce to have less of a Brucie or hooker persona and more of a tired dad thing. Dark circles under his eyes? Oh, Dami couldn't sleep. Hurt? Uh, Dick tried to maneuver the chandelier and would have fallen if I hadn't run to catch him! Am I a mess? The kids started an argument!
And I think that's it for now, I hope I put everything that was in my head.
There are designs for the characters in the AU now
Oh, to add, I've never read any DC comics, okay? Not Marvel either, or anything other than Turma da Monica(in english: Monica's Gang)...
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Marvel: WHO WAS THE CUCKOLD BASTARD WITH NO FATHERLY LOVE WHO INVENTED PUTTING LETTERS IN MATH!? THIS SHIT WAS MADE JUST TO BE NUMBERS! N-U-M-B-E-R-S!!
Batman: Uhum...*Bathinking*
Batman has been trying to figure out who Captain Marvel is for a while and has been getting nowhere. Then the man starts suddenly being late to meetings, changes his scheduled watch hours, etc...
It doesn't hit Bruce until the man starts complaining about how they changed math.
This man is a father. He has to pick his kid(s?) up from school and that's why he can't make the 3:30 meetings, pickup lines can be awful.
Meanwhile Billy Batson is just pissed that the US government decided to reevaluate Fawcett's school systems once they realized the town had been stuck in the 40's for so long and they realized how it differed from current standards.
Oh gosh-😰
My heart broke just imagining his face.😥
My sunshine boy ooohhh🥲
No one wants to disappoint Batman because he gives them Batglare(TM)—
I raise you “no one wants to disappoint Captain Marvel”.
You think the batglare is bad? Try doing something you know is monumentally stupid and seeing a man who is sunshine personified just shaking his head. His eyes are full on drooping. He takes a small, shallow breath. He was so sure you’d make the right decision but…you let him down😔
So, I wrote this fanfic here, it's a classic one of those where the League has no brain and has never met Bruce's children or even knows his identity, everyone thinks he's some kind of cryptid, and being the way he is, the bat never confirmed but also never denied the allegations, and then he bitterly regrets it when this leads everyone to believe that Nightwing is his husband, and the Batkids have a great time with this unique opportunity, later on I also intend to add Young Justice and the Titans to the pranks. I hope you like it!
Here is! But just to you know, the updates may be not coherents.
And this also makes part of a series named "Wrong dynamics" where i wrote those fics to traine and etc.
If my isekai self-insert can't be Dick Grayson's twink older brother, Mitchell Grayson, because he's "a Gary Stu" and would become "overpowered", then I want my second choice to be an inky blob of Eldritch knowledge that manifests in Fawcette City once a week to be a guest on WhizKid's Radio/Podcast.
My segment is gossiping about the secrets of heroes and villains, but vaguely or only about really useless information. Or occasionally incredibly specific instructions. Sometimes Billy and I answer questions from Chirper or Readdit.
"Who is the Red Hood?"
"The grandson of Batman's most beloved teacher. It's causing some issues."
"What is Superman's biggest secret?"
"Superman spot-checks the lead levels of infant formula whenever he's near a grocery store."
"Is there anything I need to know right now?"
"There's an unattended lit candle in the dorm room across the hall from yours - the door with the three pink post-it notes and the whiteboard with the purple butterfly sticker. You should call the RA before a badly hung scarf catches aflame in two minutes."
"What is the meaning of life?"
"Why do you want meaning? Isn't being alive enough?"
"Do you have a favorite human?"
"Yes."
"Is it me?"
"Perhaps."
Ok so a marvel au that is just everyone with a successor to there hero name/tital swap with each other. For example you have miles morales as the first Spiderman and later get a really caotic Peter parker from anouther dimension, swap kamala and carol, swap anyone who has a younger person inspired by them with each outher
And don't try to tell me it dosent make sense canon dosent make sense and I have seen fandoms do more with less (e.g. batfam reverse Aus where the name robin starts at Damian) I do not care what time shenanigans or dimensional bull you have to pull I just want to see it
Sorry for rambling this was just thoughts put down but please someone write it
The horror on J'onn's face is incredible.
I LOVE CAPTAIN MARVEL SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I finally found a way to draw him in a way I like so I can now shit post with Billy! He's so silly! If anyone has any suggestions for little memes with the Captain, then please send them my way, I'd love to have more to draw.
Captain Must Win!!!!!
I'd commit arson for a good female lead
a sad feminist
Constantine honest to god thought a child had just been stricken by lightning and died by his side
Constantine meet sunny (his thing is that he’s so nice people will drop what they’re doing to give him their stuff (including in the middle of a crime spree))
And something something captain marvel at one point Sunny was given a piece of Constantine’s soul and just gave it to marvel because he knows he does magic or something
Also, rowdy sparkle (sunnys cousin) causes mischief and chaos with captain marvel and klarion
I need a fic where all the magic users know that the Champion of Magic is a child so they just start unintentionally co-parenting Billy.
Like, John Constantine will take him on outings to hell. Billy will run off and come back with a piece of Constantine’s soul that had been gambled away and Billy will refuse to explain how he got it.
Dr. Fate (against his better judgment) sets up a playdate between Billy and Klarion the Witch Boy where they are just running around causing chaos (nothing harmful thanks to Billy)
Zatanna lets Billy come to her shows where he’s putting every other audience member to shame with how loud he claps and cheers whenever Zatanna does a trick.
Give me a scenario where magic users are regularly teleporting into the watchtower just to give Captain Marvel a packed lunch, and telling him off —in front of the JL— for forgetting it.
Okay but some in the JL has definitely gone through the Watchtower security cam footage and made a compilation video of Captain Marvel banging his head on the top of a doorway.
And I’m pretty sure we all know that he must do that a lot.
Heroes at the watchtower: Why are they staring at each other? I hope they get along..

Incredible
I can't bear the amount of pain I'm going through, especially in Ramadan, which is supposed to be the month of mercy and peace, but it has become the month of hunger, fear and destruction. Everything is collapsing, there is not enough food, no water, no electricity, not even a single moment of safety. The days pass slowly, and death surrounds us from every direction, until we no longer know if we will complete this month or if we will just be numbers in the news,…..
See, it’s not his fault about this whole situation; he’d been incredibly upfront about it from the start, and it’s really, truly not his fault if the Justice League simply couldn’t listen.
That was a terrible way to start that off, and Billy backtracked.
What he’d meant to say was that he was extremely, explicitly clear in what he’d said when he’d first joined up. Considering the fact that one of the founding members was Batman, a world renowned detective, and another was Superman, someone who could hear anything in the world, he decided to just—out himself as it were. Get ahead of the jump. Lay all his cards on the table. You get it, don’t you?
And now here he was, a few years later listening to them bickering. He didn’t even remember what had started this up, but knew that the turning point was Wonder Woman—Diana, she asked to him to call her Diana—freezing up and looking at him in shock before breathing out,
“You’re a child.”
Well—yes? Wasn’t that something he’d told them from the start. He’d literally told them,
“I’m twelve.”
Sure, he was in his Captain Marvel form, but that didn’t detract from the fact that he had in fact told them.
Green Lantern—Hal, not Guy—looked at him in betrayal. “I cannot believe you!”
He didn’t have much to say to that except confusion.
“Uh—why? I literally told you this when I joined? I don’t understand why you guys are making such a big deal out of this.”
“We thought you’d been on the superhero scene for twelve years! Not that you were actually twelve!”
Ohhhh. Yeah, that made sense.
Billy Batson but he was incredibly upfront about his real age from the beginning, people just misinterpreted that as how long he's been a hero. This is funny only because it puts him as the most experienced hero in the League and people are mad about it
Oh, oh, what it another reason he doesn't express anger as the Captain is because he knows what it's like to be afraid of an adult. He's been the victim of angry adults more than once. And he NEVER wants to be that person.
He never wants anyone to be afraid of him like he was afraid of his uncle/foster parents/police/people who've had to much to drink/etcetera.
He volunteers as Captain Marvel, and one of those places is a soup kitchen. Everytime he hands someone afraid some food with a smile, and gets them to smile back, he's on top of the world. That's what being a hero is to him.
He refuses to ruin that with an ill-timed scowl.
Billy doesn't express any form of anger in the Captain form. He's scared to. He's scared that he could hurt someone, kill someone, if he isn't careful.
The Justice League see him as a Superman type– Always happy with never ending optimism. Billy is optimistic, yes, but not in the way that he presents to the Justice League. The Captain is 'everything is okay, and everything will keep being okay', whereas Billy is 'everything is f^cked, but we can fix it if we try'.
The Justice League only see flashes of it. A glare when Batman announces spending thousands, if not millions, on improvements for the Watchtower, looks of envy when everyone talks about food and clothes. They think it's because he lives in the Rock of Eternity, and can't have these things.
They don't realise the reason until they finally meet Billy, and realise that he's a literal homeless child.
Danny is just smiling, so wide, bloody nose and all. And then his face crumpled and he starts to sniff. JLD goes oh shit! You've really done it now! And Billy is worried about his new friend, but Danny just clutches him and wails that he's so happy to have a friend, because everyone else has been so distant and overly polite and no one wants to spar with him and they all HATE him-
JLD realizes oh shit, THEY'VE really done it now.
July 24: Evince
Ghosts, being made of emotions, have little control over how much they show and often lead to those emotions swaying what they do.
So whenever Phantom, a powerful ghost, becomes a member of Justicr League Dark, most members are afraid to tip him off after hearing how emotional ghosts can be. Danny is just wondering why his team members are practically walking on eggshells around him. He didn't do anything, right? Maybe he should ask and apologize because he's starting to feel a bit lonely from the overly polite smiles that put a barrier between him and people he was hoping to be friends with.
The JLD are freaking out more whenever they see how money and upset Phantom has gotten, wondering if they should apologize in case they did something even after how careful they've been.
It was supposed to be revenge, but now they're both kind of enjoying it?? Marvel enjoys thinking up new dead languages, Batman enjoys cracking them in a low stakes scenario. Sometimes Marvel throws in a fake language and sees what Batman comes up with.
When Billy’s mad at Batman he fills out justice league reports in dead languages
Billy: Don't cry don't cry don't cry-
Zeus: HIT HIM. HIT HIM HARDER-
Solomon: You know, I find these alien's syntax quite interesting-
Mercury: Zoom zoom there goes my boy Flash! WOOO-
Achilles: Go left, no the other left!
Hercules: Oh yeah, look at our muscles! Throw that car into the alien, I hope it explodes-
Atlas: I could do this all day, no problem-
The Justice League is concerned.
JL: Do you have to deal with this all of the time?
Marvel: Yes.
JL: Why did that one voice sound like a child?
Marvel: No more questions.
Flash, laughing at a joke Captain Marvel made: Y'know Cap, sometimes you really act like a child haha
CM, smiling strangely: haha oh for sure
Solomon: You have to kill him.
CM, in his mind: No!
Hercules: If you break a hole through the glass of the Watchtower he'll be sucked out and suffocate.
Solomon, projecting the image of nodding inside CM's mind: No witnesses.
J'onn, sitting next to them, no longer feeling very safe in his workplace: Pardon me as I go have an unimportant conversation with Batman.
Wait. WAIT. This train of thought could lead to some incredible shenanigans. What if Billy thinks that Phantom is the ghost of a previous Marvel. Vaguely immortal? Check, but could just be a ghost thing. Speaks about the gods like he personally knows them? Slightly more suspicious. Knows lots of strange and random historical facts, a lot of which Billy knows simply from being Marvel?
...Shit, Phantom was the previous Marvel. Of course he wasn't the first kid Marvel, is he going to die a teenager? Billy kind of wants to live, but if he over does it, will he turn out just like Phantom too?
Billy's having a crisis and Danny is just kinda worried about his coworker. He'd never had a problem with him being a dead teenager before, why is Marvel looking at him like he kicked a puppy but also holds all of life's answers?
I have seen some Flash recognizing Danny’s Lichtenberg figure scars but consider: what if Captain Marvel recognized them instead?
What if Billy got them whenever he transformed back into a kid?
A fun fact about Lichtenberg figures: They are, in most cases, not permanent!
They occur when an electricity surge causes blood vessels to burst & cause “fern-like patterns” on the skin.
As a result, while Billy’s Lichtenberg figures do fade, he gets brand new scars whenever he transforms back. It would add some fun limitations and inner character conflict to Billy. It would prevent him from having unlimited transformations into Captain Marvel & would give Billy a reason to not become Captain Marvel/Shazam often because Billy’s normal body would just get covered in very noticeable and very distinguishable scars that can take up to 48 hours to fade. Let’s also add the limitation that if he overdid it enough, they could have the possibility of being permanent.
Billy would also have to make sure to not be wearing metal or anything fairly conductive when he transforms, or he’d get a burned imprint of whatever metal he was wearing on his skin.
So: no jewelry or piercings for him unless he wants a burn in the shape of the necklace he was wearing, a scar in the shape of a watch on his wrist, etc.
In other words, Billy would be able to recognize Lichtenberg Figures instantly as he would have A Lot of expertise and experience in knowing what they look like and the consequences touching metal when getting zapped.
With that in mind: imagine that at the end of a rough battle that called in all of the JL on-world; Captain Marvel sees the oddly thin rubber of Phantom’s hazmat suit completely shredded away above his left elbow and notices a familiar scar pattern radiating from a nasty looking burn scar on Phantom’s palm and Shazam just freezes.
