Yeah, it is one of those wtf stories.
Fawcett was a comic publisher that created Captain Marvel 1940, which was a popular character. It even outsold the Superman comic.
DC didnt like that, so they sued Fawcett for breach of copyright, saying that it was a copy of Superman.
I think Fawcett won by a mistake by DC or something.
Anyway, Fawcett stopped publishing comics in 1953 because people bought less comics.
In 1972 DC licensed the rights to the Captain Marvel comics and they bought the full rights in 1994.
But... Marvel, you know that other big comic publishers, published a comic named Captain Marvel in the late 60s and trademarked it, so DC had to call their Captain Marvel for Shazam!, and Marvel kept releasing new Captain Marvels from time to time just to keep their trademark and giving DC the finger.

Now in 1996 we had a DC VS Marvel crossover which resulted in the Amalgam Universe, which basically merged one character from each universe into a new character. Like Dark Claw which merged Wolverine with Batman.
The Marvel Captain Marvel was merged with the DC Captain Marvel and created... Captain Marvel!
