* ''Film/TheAdventuresOfCaptainMarvel'' (1941 FilmSerial). Since to become Captain Marvel, Billy Batson has to [[ByThePowerOfGrayskull say the magic word]], he ends up being gagged a lot for RuleOfDrama. Ironically, this is due to the standard kidnapping protocol of film serials. The villains actually have no clue he's Captain Marvel until the very end when the Scorpion sees his transformation from a distance. Greedy to learn how he changes into Captain Marvel, the Scorpion has Billy captured and brought to him bound and gagged. After threatening to kill Betty to force him to reveal his secret, it leads to this very satisfying exchange:
--> '''The Scorpion:''' Remove the gag, but don't untie his hands... Are you ready to tell me?
--> '''Billy:''' Yeah, I'll not only tell you how, I'll show you how it's done... SHAZAM!
--> '''The Scorpion:''' Remove the gag, but don't untie his hands... Are you ready to tell me?
