- "You never found your champion, but we found ours!"
- ―Pride to Wizard Shazam[src]
The Seven Deadly Enemies of Man are seven powerful demons that are the universal personifications of moral sins. Each of these demons represents a different moral sin, and is named accordingly: Lust, Sloth, Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, Greed and Envy.
History[]
Early days[]
The origin of the Seven Deadly Sins is unknown. They presumably hailed from an unknown dimension to Earth, and spent an unknown amount of time corrupting and killing humans. At an unknown point before 2504 BC, they were imprisoned by an unknown force inside a vault within the territory of Kahndaq.
Modern times[]
In modern times, the Wizard Shazam grew old and feeble; he thus began looking for a replacement, a champion imbued with his magic to keep the Sins contained. However, one after another, the Sins tempted Shazam's champion candidates with promises for power, causing them all to fail. As an adult, one of them, Thaddeus Sivana, broke into the Rock of Eternity and stole the Eye of Sin, freeing the Sins which became housed in the Eye and formed a symbiotic relationship with him, appearing and disappearing through the Eye.
At the end of Billy Batson's battle against Sivana, however, the champion mocked the last Sin, [nvy, tricking him into manifesting from the Eye, redering Sivana powerless. He then plucked out the Eye, trapping the Sins within it once again. Shazam then returned the Eye to the Rock of Eternity and placed it in its old position, reimprisoning the Sins in their statue forms.
