Are Shazam and Martian Manhunter on the same level of strength as Superman? It's been established they have their own powers that vary from Superman but they both seem to have the default Super strength, flight etc
I know Shazam and Superman are equal when it comes to raw strength, not sure with MM, I assume he is not as strong.

I think current Shazam is weaker than Superman, unlike the previous Captain Marvel. But he has a bunch of extra magical powers to make up for that.
Martian Manhunter was originally intended to be weaker than Superman (just look at the early JLA stories, where he was a standard league member, struggling with the villains, while Superman, if stepping in, generally solved everything in a few pages. Later on that got more inconsistent though, but he was often enough shown to be weaker.
Physically they are all about the same, but they have different utility powers.
Super Man has his vision and breath powers, and can further augment himself by exposing himself to higher quantities of solar radiation.
Martian Manhunter has shape-shifting and telepathy
Shazam/Captain Marvel has his Magic

>His only real friend is a tiger
>Wizard turns him into Shazam and he finally has some happiness and joy in his life
>Finds out there's another guy with the same powers as him
>Said guy is an asshole and wants to kill him
>Watches said guy disintegrate after fighting him
>Plus the fact that Supes has beat the shit out of him several times
Billy has every right to be an ass

But in other continuities he wasn't.
That is a shitty change, to one of the best characters.

Shitty change but it's not like they'll make him like he used to be, Shazam is too Golden Age and DC doesn't want to bring back older characters
