Shazam himself is a bit of a riff on Superman, and has a lot of the same powers, but he\u2019s not the only person in this movie that would give the Justice League a run for their money.<\/p>\n<p>These are the most powerful characters in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/movies\/shazam-fury-of-the-gods-review\/\">Shazam!

While brawn often wins out in major superhero blockbusters like <em>Fury of the Gods<\/em>, there\u2019s something to be said for the precision with which Mary is able to think through any situation and come up with a solid plan of attack.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Mary is also superpowered in other ways, having inherited all of Billy\u2019s powers to one degree or another.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"dt-heading-6-freddy-freeman\" aria-label=\"6.

And because he knows so much about superheroes already, he goes into the having powers thing with a bit of an advantage.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s that enthusiasm that, when combined with the pretty extraordinary powers he actually has, makes him a pretty solid opponent in battle. Of course, Freddy, like Billy, is still a kid, which means that his battle strategies are far from perfect.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"dt-heading-5-anthea\" aria-label=\"5. Anthea\"><\/a>5.

All three sisters possess ancient powers that make them a potent threat to Billy and his family, but Anthea is the youngest, which means she doesn\u2019t benefit from the same accumulation of knowledge that both of her sisters have.<\/p>\n<p>That, in combination with the fact that she spends most of the movie trying to help Billy and Freddy, is why she landed a little bit lower on the list than her sisters.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"dt-heading-4-hespera\" aria-label=\"4.

Even so, her strength is undeniable, and it speaks to her powers that both of her sisters usually defer to her.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of her personal power, though, it seems like she might be a little bit weaker than her younger sister, Kalypso, and she\u2019s definitely no match for the rest of the Shazamily when they\u2019re all united. Fortunately for her, she has the ability to take away their powers.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"dt-heading-3-shazam-wizard\" aria-label=\"3. Shazam (Wizard)\"><\/a>3.

Shazam is an ultrapowerful dude who is capable of wielding ancient powers in ways that few others can throughout the course of this franchise.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, Shazam is often reluctant to use that power, and instead chooses to bestow it on others whenever he can. He would rate a little bit higher if he took some initiative himself, but he rarely chooses to do that.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"dt-heading-2-kalypso\" aria-label=\"2. Kalypso\"><\/a>2.

Fueled by rage over the loss of her family, Kalypso does battle with Billy and almost manages to beat him one-on-one.<\/p>\n<p>Although Kalypso is aided by a massive dragon, her strength clearly rivals the power that was bestowed on Billy, which in this particular corner of the DC universe, is the source from which all other power flows.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"dt-heading-1-billy-batson\" aria-label=\"1.

Although he may not be as strong as someone like Superman, inside of the\u00a0<em>Shazam\u00a0<\/em>universe, there\u2019s no one who has emerged yet who can beat Billy.<\/p>\n<p>Kalypso comes close, it\u2019s true, and Billy is often known for getting into rough scrapes simply because he\u2019s overconfident or acts like a kid, but when it really counts, Billy is the person who you should turn to. He\u2019s the place that all the other powers flow from, which is why he was the only logical choice for the top of this list.<\/p>\n<h4>\n\tEditors&#8217; Recommendations<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/movies\/5-most-powerful-dceu-characters-ranked\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tThe 10 most powerful DCEU characters, ranked\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/movies\/shazam-fury-of-the-gods-commercial-dceu-cameo\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tA new Shazam!

In that long history, though, Superman has also faced a number of incredibly powerful villains.<\/p>\n<p>After all, because Superman is also one of the most powerful villains in superhero history, he has to face some insanely powerful villains in order to come up against an actual threat. Superman usually wins the fight, even when he comes up against these villains, but the fights are certainly a little close for comfort.
