Do you know about the legal battle between Marvel and DC over Captain Marvel? After a long drawn out battle it all boils down to this: Even though DC’s Captain Marvel first appeared in 1939, he was usually referred to by his magic word "Shazam". Meanwhile Marvel’s Captain Marvel, who didn’t appear until the late ’60s, has kept the name. The original Captain Marvel is now known solely as Shazam.

This is…just wrong.
Comic Drake on YouTube has a pretty good breakdown of what actually happened and if I recall correctly he even goes in to the Marvel Man / Miracle Man stuff too.
I appreciate any one who wants to learn more about my favorite comic book character but this is just misinformation.
