What part of 'equals' don't you understand?! The wizard's dead, and Cap can't change back to Billy, so there goes the whole 'trick him into saying it' routine.
And Cap being a pale imitation is probably the most ill-researched statement in this whole thread, which is quite an accomplishment!
DC gave Superman his x-ray vision, heat vision, cold breath and flight in an effort to make him superior to Captain Marvel. Cap could fly from the get-go. Supes couldn't. Cap could call down lightning from the get-go. Supes had no heat rays. If anything, modern Superman is an imitation of Captain Marvel with a few extra powers just to increase sales. If Fawcett and Whiz Comics had more money to fight the lawsuits, it'd be Captain Marvel's fifth movie in theatres, not Superman's.
