Biography
The Valley of Tombs was situated somewhere on the borders of Siam where there were numerous ruins that dated back to the time of the Scorpion Dynasty. From that era, the inhabitants controlled a great power that was the Golden Scorpion. This relic contained numerous lenses situated on the relic which activated when in a correct order and a ray of sunlight passed through them. Its effect was turning anything touched by the light into pure solid gold. In time, the Golden Scorpion was buried deep inside the ruins and was guarded by the tribesmen in the region who believed outsiders would bring about the Scorpion's cure. Their actions were dictated also by the volcano Scorpio that if it ignited meant that they needed to strike at any outsiders that threatened the Golden Scorpion. The Malcolm Archaeological Expedition was dispatched to the ruins of the Scorpion Dynasty to seek its secrets. A number of the heads of the expedition discovered the Golden Scorpion only to be trapped when the entrance was blocked by falling debris. It was then the wizard Shazam appeared before Billy Batson empowering him with the power of Captain Marvel in order to prevent the curse of the Scorpion harming others.
