Hold This For A Sec

Yesterday it struck me--Atlas is the dumbest character in all of mythology.

And yet he is one of the A's in SHAZAM that turns Billy Batson into Captain Marvel (was the other A really Achilles? seems equally weak, Apollo might be a better choice)

Yes, but it's the wisdom of Solomon he has, not the wisdom of Atlas. He gets his stamina, or endurance, from Atlas.

I believe it's the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and the speed of Mercury.

How about the marriage skills of Solomon, the patience of Hercules, the planning skills of Atlas, the humility of Zeus, the negotiating skills of Achilles and the gambling skills of Mercury?

I was thinking the small fatal weakness of Achilles.

Praising Atlas for stamina makes it seem like Boxer the Horse and Randall "Tex" Cobb should be inspirations for superheroes too
