I just had the visual image of Dr. Sivana choking Billy Batson like how they do in The Simpsons with Homer and Bart, and now it's consuming me

Holey Moley! Oh, well, maybe we can get some kind of multi-issue funeral crossover out of it.

Any thoughts on Doctor Sivana?

Nothing too extensive but Sivana rules in a way that doesn't really invite too much introspection. He's THE archetypal mad scientist comic book supervillain and he's more or less stayed as that, arguably the most influential of them after Luthor if not outright on par with him, because while Luthor is the comic book supervillain template, the pop culture image of a mad scientist (big head short body, ugly, big glasses, always with a labcoat, hunchback and big teeth optional) is pretty much taken from Sivana. But Luthor's status atop the ladder and position opposite Superman mutated him into varying kinds of villain and a complicated character over time, where as Sivana is Sivana and never really needed to be anything else, there's just a purity to him. They've tried to make him a Luthor clone and the movie ran with that, but who cares, we all know what Sivana is, you're not fooling anyone with that guy.

He's got a pretty great thing going as not just an evil scientist, but the evil scientist head of an evil scientist family, with children split in either looking exactly like him or looking like chiseled models who look brutally dissonant next to their dad, and he genuinely loves his kids (at least usually or in his own way), in fact he's even show loving the ones that don't support him and turned good. If he's going to be the arch-nemesis of the superhero who introduced the concept of a superhero family, he can't exactly be lacking in one of his own, and that familial aspect he has towards his children has become just as important to his characterization as the fact that he spends most of his waking hours trying to destroy a child and failing.

They get some mileage out of how ruthless he can be despite his image (and people's tendency to overlook how dark Captain Marvel stories could get), he has enough basic standards to not go as low as other DCU supervillains and Thunderworld establishes a Hannibal Lecter-esque Sivana to hammer in contrast with the main one finding him unnerving, but I'll never forget this panel:

Like I said, there's a lot of dark stuff in Captain Marvel/Shazam that gets forgotten, but I also like this about Sivana, that's the flip-side of that purity I mentioned. That he can and does have almost a Doofenshmirtz-thing going on, where he's playing such an over-the-top cartoon villain 24/7 that every mundane or decent thing he does becomes inherently funny via contrast, as is his loving relationship with his own family, but he is a guy who's very serious about taking over the world and very serious about destroying Captain Marvel even if that means killing the boy Billy Batson to do it and doesn't think for one second about that contradiction. Contradictions are for chumps. He may love HIS kids, other kids are just a thing in the way. Sivana doesn't need to explain himself, like some OTHER inferior bald guy who sold out to become a CEO or something, Sivana lets his deeds do the talking.

Besides, evil is his family activity, who's to deny the joys of it to him?

I'm reading the 30th anniversary shazam book and holy moly in this version they had Dr. Sivana as Billy's uncle (by marriage, was the step brother to Billy's mom).

That was really interesting and I love it when stories play around with Billy's family history more. It makes me think that in an alternate universe where the JL find out that Dr. Sivana is Captain Marvel's uncle before finding out that he's Billy, it'll be a whirl of chaotic fun (for us).

I don't think I've read that one, but it sounds like such an interesting concept! Billy just can't catch a break with all these evil uncles trying to ruin his life. But seriously that's a fun twist to their relationship.

Sivana's constant attacks on Fawcett City and Captain Marvel would take on a whole new light as some sort of family feud. I can imagine the JL coming up with increasingly convoluted theories as to how one family produced two radically different people and what led to their animosity.

I definitely agree that it would be a chaotic whirlwind, but if done right it can be such a fun exploration of their characters.

#ask me whatever you want y'all #shazam #billy batson #dc captain marvel #dr sivana #family is complicated especially when theres superheroes and supervillains involved #would Sivana care that Billy was his nephew? #i'll have to check out the anniversary comic to see how they play with the concept

You know what's a crime?

Featuring one Doctor Freaking Sivana in the Suicide Squad game without even a mention of Captain Marvel, I would even take the character being named Shazam in the game.

But no, Sivana is responsible for giving Boomerang speedster abilities.

-Sean Galloway Captain Marvel/Shazam pitch

Would be awesome if Billy had to go on an epic quest and find twelve worthy people to be the Champions of the Olympians and wield their powers on Earth. Obligatory Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman guest staring issues. Other, some very obscure, characters from the DC pantheon stop in too. Ends with Billy and the New Olympians gathering on the Rock of Eternity.
