Felix the Fence, a boarder at the same place where Billy Batson lives and also a thief, gets angry at his cohort for saying Captain Marvel's name. Overhearing them, word soon gets around that saying Captain Marvel's name will destroy the world. Even Sivana hears the rumor in jail and worries it's true. Captain Marvel himself overhears Felix saying his name in the commission of a crime, assuring him and everyone else that saying the name won't destroy everything.
