Summary of the story
In 1979, in Upstate New York, a young Thaddeus Sivana was travelling in a 1974 Cadillac Sedan Deville with his abusive father and brother Sid during a snowstorm. Throughout the journey, he was subjected to constant mockery and verbal harassment. Suddenly, he found himself transported to the Rock of Eternity, a mystic temple located in another dimension. There, he encountered an ancient wizard named Shazam, who had spent centuries searching for someone pure of heart to bestow his power and name as champion after the previous one had released the Seven Deadly Sins. Thaddeus was tempted by the Sins, who promised him power if he freed them. However, the wizard deemed Thaddeus unworthy and magically returned him to the car. Sivana's frustration and confusion led to a vehicular accident, resulting in his father becoming paralyzed from the waist down and even more resentful towards him. The Sins sent Thaddeus a message via his 8-Ball toy, instructing him to find them.
In present-day Fawcett City, Philadelphia, a 14-year-old foster child named Billy Batson continually ran away from foster homes in search of his birth mother, from whom he became separated ten years ago at a carnival. He locked some police officers in a store and used their computer to try and find his mother, but was unsuccessful. He was subsequently placed in a group home run by Víctor and Rosa Vásquez, along with five other foster children: Mary Bromfield, Pedro Peña, Eugene Choi, Darla Dudley, and superhero enthusiast Freddy Freeman. Meanwhile, an embittered Sivana succeeded in his lifelong quest to return to the Rock of Eternity. He became the Sins' vessel when the Eye fused itself with his body and overpowered the wizard. He promptly used his newfound powers to kill his father, brother, and Sivana Industries' board of directors.
