Shazam

On the data. Seven entries, and the character's ownership is the story. He was not DC's. Captain Marvel was published by Fawcett from 1939, and for a time he outsold Superman. DC sued, arguing he was a copy, and the case ran for twelve years until Fawcett stopped publishing him in 1953. DC licensed him in 1972 and bought him outright later. By then Marvel had registered the name Captain Marvel for a character of its own, which is why every DC comic and film since has been called Shazam instead. The 1941 serial therefore predates DC owning any of this. It is also the first comic book superhero film ever made, three years before the Batman serial and seven before Superman. The 1974 series ran with a companion, The Secrets of Isis, as a single hour, and the two crossed over in both directions. Isis was created for television rather than adapted, which was unusual. TMDB files it under simply Isis. The 1981 animated version is listed at twelve broadcast weeks. TMDB counts the thirty-eight separate segments inside them. The three modern films are borrowed from the DC Extended Universe page rather than copied, so each keeps one tick box.
