The Seven Deadly Enemies of Man (also known as the Seven Deadly Sins), are a group of demons appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Based on the Seven Deadly Sins, the group first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 (February 1940), and were created by writer Bill Parker and artist C.C. Beck. The Seven Deadly Enemies of Man appear in the DC Extended Universe film Shazam!, released in 2019 by New Line Cinema and Warner Bros.

Fictional character biography

The Seven Deadly Sins are seven powerful demons representing their namesakes who can possess the bodies of others. They were freed millennia ago by Pandora before being captured by the wizard Shazam and imprisoned in statues in the Rock of Eternity. The Sins have escaped their prisons on numerous occasions, including the Day of Vengeance and Dark Nights: Death Metal events. Initially, the Seven Sins were "censored" to comply with comics standards. They were identified as the '"Seven Deadly Enemies of Man", and several of their members were renamed.
