Warning: this article contains spoilers for Justice League: The Darkseid War - Shazam #1!

Billy Batson had to grapple with an entire different set of powers in this issue. Whereas he's always been able to call on "the Wisdom of Solomon," "the Strength of Hercules" and so forth, Billy now has a new set of gods lending him their gifts. As if that weren't enough, Billy had to face off with a new foe in the form of Zonuz, the so-called "original god of evil."It wasn't long before Billy met Zonuz face to face and learned his real name - Yuga Khan, the father of Darkseid. With his son dead at the hands of the Anti-Monitor, Yuga Khan is now free to wreak havoc on the universe once again.Or so he thought. Billy quickly mustered his new powers and showed Zonuz why he's known as "Earth's Mightiest Mortal." Not only was Zonuz defeated, the villain is now forced to bestow his power to Billy as the sixth member of the new Team Shazam. We wonder how Darkseid would feel about his dad helping out the enemy.Maybe we'll find out before The Darkseid War is over. Given that this huge storyline is named for the iconic DC villain, it seems hard to believe we've really seen the last of the Lord of Apokolips. If Darkseid does return, having Yuga Khan at his beck and call may just give Shazam the edge he needs in battle.For the record, the final page of this issue spells out exactly which gods combine to form the power of the all-new Shazam. Our hero has lost his speed and flight, but he's gained some interesting new abilities in their place:In case you missed it, this week's other Darkseid War tie-in chronicled a startling transformation for Green Lantern
