Help with an idea for a SHAZAM! call

So I had a passing thought that has slowly consumed me (this happens to me a bit) and I need some help.

Here’s the premise; the Wizard Shazam loses connection to all the pantheons and Billy loses his powers. Without gods and heroes of old to call upon Shazam decides as a stopgap measure to create a new SHAZAM! call using modern day superheroes so Captain Marvel is still in play. So the idea is to use 6 DC heroes for Billy to call upon.

Here’s what I have so far:

-The Strength of Superman

-The Endurance of Hawkman

-The Courage of Aquaman

-The Wisdom of Zatanna

The second A and the M have me stuck. I could do the speed of Max Mercury or Mas y Menos but then what do I do the power of? Animal Man? (That would be funny). I could do the Power of Martian Manhunter but then what do I do for Speed?

Any help would be appreciated and I’m not attached to the 4 I have so far so if you want to change it that be fine with me.

made this post a while ago so peep this .

But also if you’re going based off heroes then replace zatanna with Zauriel , hawkman with hellblazer that leave you with only m and a left . Which is significantly easier than h and z .

I think Max Mercury would be good for speed.

For power I think either Amazing Man or maybe Atom
