Captain Marvel / Shazam

Billy Batson obtained the ability to transform into Captain Marvel at the age of 7 by shouting ‘Shazam!’ It grants him the powers of various legendary heroes and gods: Wisdom of Solomon, Strength of Hercules, Stamina of Atlas, Power of Zeus, Courage of Achilles, Speed of Mercury.
