Not all tropes are perfectly named and going by just the trope title can result in inaccurate examples. Bottom line is that the full trope definition always carries more weight that what the trope title might imply. WhatTheHellHero is defined as \\\"when characters In-Universe call out one of the heroes for doing something clearly unheroic, if not outright heinous.\\\"
In D&D terms it would be as if a Lawful Good character clearly and intentionally does something morally gray. Something that would be significant enough for the rest of the party to challenge that character\\\'s alignment.
In the case of Billy-as-Shazam causing the bus crash, there\\\'s no doubt he was recklessly using his powers and caused the accident nearly killing the people inside. However, it is also pretty obvious that it was not a deliberate, intentional action.
Irresponsible? Sure. Immature? definitely. But is it a 14-year boy acting with deliberate malice? I\\\'d have to say No and thus applying the trope to the Freddie/Billy argument wouldn\\\'t be appropriate.
There\\\'s probably some other trope involving arguments that would work better, but I don\\\'t have the time to research a potential alternative at this moment.
