Johnny Calhoun, an OSS agent, is sent to Germany to rescue a "ginkazoo," invented by a non-Nazi German scientist. Johnny makes it to the professor's laboratory and swallows the formula--there's only one, see, and so if he has it the Germans can't get it. This gives Johnny superpowers, and so he begins fighting crime as Captain Magnet. He has magnetic powers, can fly, attract or repel metal objects (including bullets), and can increase his strength and mass so he is super strong and almost invulnerable.

Teenaged radio broadcaster Billy Batson is brought to the aged wizard Shazam and given superpowers to fight evil. Cap has the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury. (S.H.A.Z.A.M.) He also didn't need a phone box or alleyway to change into his alter-ego. The Captain's transformation was more dramatic. He simply said the word 'Shazam' and, with a bolt of lightning and a clap of thunder, he changed from kid reporter to Super-hero.

Captain Midnight was actually Captain Red Albright, who had gained his nickname for his nocturnal actions as an Army Captain during World War One. During WW2 he fought against German spies and domestic crime. He is an ace inventor who has a secret lab, a "Menlo Park of the desert," somewhere in Nevada. He is assisted by the Secret Squadron, his assistants: Joyce Ryan and Chuck Ramsay, his two teenage side-kicks, and Ichabod "Ikky" Mudd, his grease monkey. Captain Midnight has no superpowers but has a "gliderchute" outfit that allows him to glide through the air, a "belt transmitter" that allows him to contact the Secret Squadron, his "doom-beam torch" infra-red branding iron, and blackout bombs. He's also an ace fighter pilot.
