Billy Batson was chosen by the wizard Shazam to be the vessel for the magical world's greatest champion for good: Captain Marvel.
Billy, at least in current canon, was a homeless boy eking out a day to day existence until he followed a mysterious man onto a subway car that took him considerably farther than subway cars usually do. We went into a pretty good description of Captain Marvel for our Oldest Superheroes Power Grid, so we won't belabor his powers or duties here. Suffice to say, it was Billy's good heart that made him top of the list to be one of the DCU's most powerful heroes.
