The best solution would be to simply put the Marvels back into their own universe using the Power of Shazam continuity as the template with suitable modifications here and there. More importantly, put some cheer and humour into the stories. It's more in keeping with the concept and tradition of the characters. The final recommendation: The Marvels were always humble enough to become genuine friends with the people they rescue or deal with. NO one was too beneath them. It would do DC a great deal of good, in the end, to treat the Marvel Family with the same respect and promotion they would give to the rest of their heroes' gallery. Yes, I realize sales is the final arbiter, but if they treated these characters the way they treat Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, and others; they would have a more consistent seller on their hands. The fan base is loyal and ready. And DC should forget that show in the '70s and concentrate what's before them. They have Jerry Ordway's 1990's template to work with. With one magic word let us begin anew...SHAZAM!
