No. Alan Moore's Miracleman (in US publications) repackaged Alan Moore's Marvelman.
If one is going to play all lore-superior, get thine citations aced, please. SHAZAM!

Shazam?
No, no, that's only the magic word. The big, red manly cheesy-looking dude in a fluttery little white cape before you has had another name. CAPTAIN!!

L!, spell it any way you like. He's more or less au fait with the superspiritual side of things, thanks very much. The original, real (well...) Captain Marvel could've tanked a full-force face-shot from Superman, if it happened in either's then-comics universe. It took the full force of the S-man's law team plus the calamitous downturn in super-funnies (WWII had ended: duh) to put the C-Man ("CAP!") out of commish.
You should see his sidekick, though. The one in the white suit (later on, down the line), or if and as you prefer, the one in the blue. I understand the team's been recruiting too, lately!
Under another name.
ALAN MOORE?
Oh, shoosh. That man does not like a lot of the remakes and adaptations done under HIS character's names! Shazam! How Ironic? "KIMOTA!"
Now we're talking. Ka-Jeesh.
