Every superhero has their own set of powers. The DCEU already has plenty of different combinations of superhuman abilities, from Superman's flight and heat vision to Aquaman's fluency in fish communication to the Flash's incredible speed. Even among titans like that, though, Shazam has a particularly interesting set of powers.

He's got some of the usual things, like strength, speed, durability, and flight, but then it gets a little more unique. As the trailers for the film have frequently showcased, Shazam is granted the manipulation of lightning by Zeus (that's the Z in his name). It transforms him into his superheroic self, of course, but he can also simply summon it from his fingers at will, and in the comics it has often even served as a kind of shield against magical attacks.

But wait, there's more. Depending on which comics the film most heavily draws from, Shazam is also able to summon the wisdom of Solomon (that's the S) to get wisdom in trying times and instantly recall knowledge of something he didn't know before, as well as summon the courage of Achilles when he really needs to step up in battle. All of this combines to make him a rather versatile hero, if he has the cleverness to make use of his full range of powers.
