Following the New 52 reboot she's (possibly) no longer Billy's biological sister, but became part of the new Shazamily along with his other foster siblings. After various status quo-changing events (including [[Comicbook/TheNewChampionOfShazam a brief period where she was the main Shazam hero]], she's gone back to calling herself Mary Marvel, and her powers again come from goddesess rather than Billy's gods.

However, reality was [[ComicBook/{{New 52}} reset]] before the Marvels could regain their powers. This resulted in some major changes to Billy's personalities in both identities. Billy was still mostly a good kid, but he was now a very troubled foster child and he wanted to grow up as fast as possible so that no one would have to take care of him. His superheroic codename was also changed to "Shazam", and his powers were now far more connected to his magical nature.

When Shazam died, Mary lost her powers, leading her on a quest to regain them. After gaining the powers of Black Adam, she fell victim to the silver tongue of the demon Eclipso, who brought her to the evil god ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}. Darkseid brainwashed Mary and his minion, Desaad, possessed her. After using Mary's body to fight the heroes of Earth, Desaad was cast out when Freddy Freeman used Shazam's power to exorcise him. She is currently powerless, her corruption by Darkseid having proven her unworthy to the resurrected Shazam; whether this would have changed was not seen by the time of the reboot.

to:

* ExactWords: When Shazam's ghost was asked for advice, it tended to come in the form of a backstory infodump, or a cryptic hint his pupils would need to puzzle out themselves. If he ''does'' say something direct, start looking for hidden meanings, because at the end of the story he's bound to point out a loophole that let the heroes win.
