I must admit to being more of the "Grown-up Billy" mindset---if the kid doesn't really CHANGE into the hero, BECOMES the hero, it ruins the wish fulfillment part of it for me. Although I admit there's been evidence both ways in the Golden Age stories.
I tend to see the Captain as Billy's personality only changed--enhanced might be a better word-- by the addition of the wisdom of Solomon and bravery of Achilles--more alert, more knoweldgable, braver, and perhaps with his Billy memories slighly crowded out, especially of the time before he became Captain Marvel, and becoming more so the longer he shared the Billy/Marvel duality.
