Seven Deadly Enemies of Man



History
Seven Deadly Enemies of Man were demon personifications of the Seven Deadly Sins. The wizard Shazam trapped them in mockingly cartoon-like statues, that he displaced in his subway lair. The demons have escaped their prisons several times, usually with the aid of another villain(s). However in their post-2000 appearances, they were located in the Rock of Eternity.

Members
The original team was a "censored" version of the SDS. Sloth was called "Laziness". Lust and Anger was replaced with Injustice and Hatred. Gluttony was replaced by Selfishness. So their ranks were Pride, Envy, Selfishness, Greed, Hatred, Laziness and Injustice.
But in their post-2000 appearances, they were the exact seven sins: Pride, Envy, Greed, Anger, Sloth, Gluttony and Lust.
