While not dropping his name , Mister Mind tell Sivana that when it come to assume wizardly power there are " more ways than a mind can imagine . " The scene concludes with Mister Mind speaking of the playfulness that he and Dr. Sivana are live on to have together .
While not a word - for - discussion diversion of Mister Mind and Dr. Sivana ’s first coming together in the comic , this scene is remarkably similar to the one which closed out the 2013Shazammini - serial publication that reintroduced the characters ofBilly Batson , Dr. Sivana and Mr. Mindinto the current DC Comics universe and acting as the inspiration forShazam!That scene showed Dr. Sivana , who had evaded stoppage , in the entrance hall of the Rock of Eternity , ineffective to go along any further thanks to a witching roadblock . It is here that Mister Mind hollo out to the would - be wizard , introduce himself and saying that the two of them " shall be the dear of ally . "

The possibility story spark ofthe current monthlyShazamcomicsees Billy , Mary , Freddy , Darla , Eugene and Pedro decide to embark on exploring these kingdom , begin with the Funlands - a true magic kingdom resembling a giant amusement park that puts Disneyland to shame .
aside from the Earthlands and the Funlands , the only realms seen in the comics so far are the Gamelands and the Wildlands . The Gamelands resemble a giant arcade biz full of airstream , likeTronmixed withWreck - It Ralph . The Wildlands resemble the society ofZootopia , with humanlike animals that wear wearing apparel and act like human beings . It is hypothesize in the Encyclopedia Of Magical Monsters that Mister Mind in the beginning came from the Wildlands , though it seems likely he may also have total from the Monsterlands , which are wholly seal - off inside the magical train station .
Wherever the DCEU rendering of Mister Mind is from , it seems clear that , much asShazam!borrowed heavily from the 2013Shazammini - serial for its report , so too will the current storyline in theShazamcomic act as the foundation forShazam 2 . It is unclear just how Mister Mind and Dr. Sivana will carry off to mystify a threat to seven whole kingdom , though it seems likely that an alliance with the denizens of the Monsterlands is a clear-cut possibility . Indeed , bring up a real gild of monsters against Billy Batson and his tops siblings may be just the thing to put Mister Mind back on the A - tilt of comic book supervillains .
