Canon
Captain Marvel first appeared Marvel Super-Heroes #12 (December 1967).
Following a trial in which DC Comics sued Fawcett Comics for breach of copyright, claiming Fawcett's Captain Marvel was too similar to Superman, the latter stopped publishing Captain Marvel. In the late sixties Marvel Comics gained the trademark "Captain Marvel" with their first series, forcing DC to call their Captain Marvel comic book Shazam!.
To retain their trademark, Marvel has had to publish a Captain Marvel title every year or two since, leading to a number of ongoing series, limited series and one-shots featuring a range of characters using the Captain Marvel alias.
