In [[Infinite Frontier]], Shazam is shown as a member of a reintroduced incarnation of the Quintessence and appears alongside other members shortly after the defeat of the Batman Who Laughs at the hands of Wonder Woman, whom is invited as a member. The heroine rejects it and shortly after taking her leave, the group is seemingly an empowered [[Darkseid]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Williamson |first=Joshua |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1252411539 |title=Infinite frontier |date=2022 |others=Xermanico, Romulo Fajardo, Tom Napolitano, Troy Peteri, Mitch Gerads |isbn=978-1-77951-424-0 |location=Burbank, CA |oclc=1252411539}}</ref> Later, it was revealed that the Quintessence was under the control of the Great Darkness (namely Pariah's manipulation of a fraction of its power), eventually leading to the seemingly death of the core members of the Justice League. At the end of the event, after Pariah's defeat and restoration of the Justice League members, the Quintessence, including the Wizard, was revived by the Spectre.

In the ''[[Black Adam]]'' limited ongoing series. The "''East of Egyp''t" storyline includes the Wizard in flashbacks set thousands of years before the present day, in which the events depicted are an altered version of the flashbacks depicted in ''Marvel Family #1'' (December, 1945). These flashbacks also explore Black Adam's history as Mamaragan's champion, Mighty Adam, with several changes made to previous accounts expressed earlier in the [[The New 52|New 52]] and [[DC Rebirth]], including the methodology of how Black Adam was sealed away. After killing his nephew Aman, Black Adam deceived the Wizard and kept the truth hidden although he remained suspicious. He later betrayed the Council of Eternity, eliminating the others but sedates Mamaragan through magical [[Potion|potions]]. As pharaoh under the name "Userkare," Black Adam was confronted by his vizier, Mereruka, who employed Ibac to force him to step down. Black Adam prevailed, but Ibac freed the Wizard and he banished Black Adam from Earth after a confrontation over Aman's fate, sent among the stars.<ref name=":7">{{Cite book |last1=Priest |first1=Christopher |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6x_CzwEACAAJ |title=Black Adam Vol. 2: East of Egypt |last2=Sandoval |first2=Rafa |date=December 2023 |publisher=DC Comics |isbn=978-1-77952-089-0 |language=en}}</ref>

In the ''[[Lazarus Planet]]'' crossover, the Wizard is unexpectedly ousted from his role as Keeper of the Rock of Eternity and believes Billy to be responsible. He aligns himself with Hera, who plans to depose Zeus and seek revenge on mortals. Billy and Yara Flor unite to stop Hera, but are surprised to find the Wizard on her side and Billy is subsequently depowered and captured. The Wizard is later summoned by Hera to enhance her powers against [[Wonder Woman]], but when Hera's agenda becomes unpopular, he doubts and abandons her. Billy later calls upon the Wizard through the Rock of Eternity, where it is revealed that the Wizard initially believed Billy had betrayed him. However, witnessing Mary sacrifice her powers to aid Wonder Woman, the Wizard realizes his mistake and deems Mary worthy to be the Champion. Despite his intention to empower both Billy and Mary, Hippolyta intervenes and chooses to bless Mary's powers through her and seven other gods. Both Billy and Mary regain their powers, with Mary's connection maintained through the blessings of the seven goddesses instead of the Wizard's magic, despite still utilizing the "SHAZAM" method.<ref name=":11">{{Cite book |last=Wilson |first=G.

In the ''Shazam!'' 2023 comic book series, the Wizard makes a brief appearance and is mentioned by Billy Batson as he recalls his transformation into Shazam. The series reaffirms Billy's previous origin of falling asleep in a subway, but with some subtle changes. These changes include acknowledging Billy's status as a foster child from his New 52 origin and expressing reluctance regarding the Wizard's intentions. It is revealed that the character eventually entrusts Billy with the Rock of Eternity, hoping that he will treat it with reverence.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Waid |first=Mark |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iMu4EAAAQBAJ |title=Shazam!
