History
Solomon is a figure described in Middle Eastern scriptures as a wise ruler of an empire centred on the united Kingdom of Israel. He was born in Jerusalem about 1000 BCE and reigned over Israel from 971 BCE to 931 BCE. Spiritually, he is considered as one of the great elders of the Earth. He imparts wisdom upon the agents of Shazam including Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel, Jr. and Mary Marvel.

Power Distribution: Solomon imparts the gift of wisdom to the various members of the Marvel Family. The wisdom of Solomon also gives heroes such as Captain Marvel clairvoyance and provides him with counsel and advice in times of need. He grants Marvel knowledge of all languages, ancient and modern, and the ability to hypnotize others. Logically, Solomon possesses all of the same abilities that he can bestow upon others.
Notes
- The comic book version of Solomon is based upon the historical King Solomon.
- As the beings who power Captain Marvel are described as gods, it can be possible that, after death, Solomon became a god, in a similar fashion as the Roman emperors (this proccess is called "Aphoteosis".)
