Beyond the more obvious differences — Sivana comes from wealth and privilege, while Billy is a penniless kid bouncing from foster home to foster home — there are more subtle connections, such as the childhood objects they carry around like totems. Sivana has the magic 8 ball he plays with as an insecure boy unsure of himself in his dad's car, and he throws one out during the board room scene. Billy has the green charm his mom won for him at the carnival moments before losing her in a crowd. He carried it around for years until he tracks his mother down and she admits she actually abandoned him all those years ago. He then gives her the charm, after hearing her husband yell through the door. Both characters give up these childhood items after confronting their parents. While Billy uses this moment as a way to let go of his quest to find a mother who doesn't want him and accept his loving foster family, Sivana just allows himself to be led astray by the sins, the literal voices inside his head. He gives into the power. Billy's newfound abilities also threaten to go to his head at one point, as he spends his initial days as Shazam racking up views as the star of Freddy's YouTube channel, asking people for money and saving a bus full of people from an accident he causes. After the confrontation with his mother, though, he realizes that he already has the family he needs. As Billy/Shazam says before gives some of his abilities to his family, “What good is power if you have no one to share it with?” While Sivana obviously suffered some emotional abuse from his family, the contrast is made clear: Billy, a child who had left several decent families and had a rough upbringing himself, finally allows himself to be a part of a family, while Sivana, who loses some of his power every time he unleashes one of the sins, has closed himself off. That confrontation between the two groups displays their differences while highlighting Billy's arc.
