- "You are the true champion."
"They're using you. You're nothing to them but a means of escape. Though you, they'll spread their poison to everything they touch! Make mankind turn on each other!"

The Escape of the Seven Deadly Sins occurred after Thaddeus Sivana found his way back to the Rock of Eternity in 2018. Sivana succeeded in breaking the Seven Deadly Sins out of imprisonment, and defeating the weakened Wizard Shazam, choosing Sivana as their champion and ultimately leading to Shazam's death.[1]

Young sivana meets wizard.
- "I dedicated my life to getting here. I scoured the Earth. No one believed me. No one helped. Not the wizard. Not my family. I only had myself."
- ―Thaddeus Sivana to Billy Batson[src]
In 1974, young Thaddeus Sivana was summoned by the wizard Shazam as a candidate for his champion to replace Black Adam. Thaddeus attempted to take the Wizard's staff but was quickly tempted by the corruption of the Seven Sins of Men, causing the Wizard to reject him and send him back to the car. In his confusion and frustration, he made a scene and caused a car crash that crippled his father. After the accident, his father belittled him even more than before. This led to his obsession with magic, spending his life searching for ways to gain the abilities he was denied as a child.[1][2]
