In the intricate tapestry of the Marvel Family’s adventures, a surprising twist has unfolded, altering the power hierarchy in unprecedented ways. While Shazam, Mary Marvel, and their kin have long been associated with divine gifts, it is a humble member of the family who has transcended mortal limitations to become an actual god. And how did this transformation occur? Through the consumption of a simple apple.
In the climactic pages of Amazons Attack #6 by Josie Campbell and Vasco Georgiev, readers witness the culmination of the DC Universe’s conflict with the Amazons. Amidst the chaos orchestrated by Asylum—an ancient Amazon wielding the Apples of Discord—Mary Marvel and her loyal companion, Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, emerge as unexpected heroes.
Asylum’s nefarious plan, aided by the malevolent Doctor Sivana, aims to unleash chaos upon the world by spreading discord through the Apples of Discord. However, before their scheme can come to fruition, a pivotal moment occurs when Faruka offers Hoppy a fateful apple. With a single bite, Hoppy is imbued with god-like powers, forever altering his destiny and the fate of the Marvel Family.
With the Apple of Discord coursing through his veins, Hoppy undergoes a metamorphosis, transcending his former self to attain a state of omnipotence. He proclaims his newfound ability to “see all times and all places,” a testament to his ascension to godhood. This divine insight seamlessly integrates with Hoppy’s existing powers of teleportation, enhancing his endurance and strength to unprecedented levels.
Previously limited by fatigue after creating just a few portals, Hoppy now commands boundless energy, effortlessly opening multiple portals in rapid succession. This newfound omnipresence enables him to pinpoint the locations of all the Apples of Discord, aiding Mary Marvel in swiftly destroying them and thwarting Asylum’s malevolent designs.
The journey of Hoppy—from a mere pet rabbit to a godly entity—reflects the unexpected twists and turns that characterize the Marvel Family’s adventures. Introduced as a companion to one of Mary Marvel’s college roommates, Hoppy’s evolution from sidekick to celestial being epitomizes the transformative power of destiny.
As the Marvel Family continues their saga in Shazam #10, penned by Josie Campbell, readers eagerly await the revelation of Hoppy’s fate. Will he retain his newfound god-like abilities, forever altering the dynamics within the Marvel Family? Or will he revert to his former state, his divine ascent but a fleeting moment in the annals of comic book history?
