Fawcett Comics & DC Comics
Captain Marvel/Shazam
In the Golden Age of Comic Books, the Seven Deadly Sins were simply referred to as "The Seven Deadly Enemies of Man" in Fawcett Publications' Whiz Comics and in Captain Marvel Adventures. At first they are seen as statues. In one story, King Kull frees them from the Wizard's magic and unleashes them in Fawcett City until they were defeated by Captain Marvel.
Half of the Sin's names were changed for young audiences at the time of the Golden Age.
