Remember I said I would have these guys appear in the Fanonverse movie? I said they wouldn't be deities, and I stuck with that and created a basic origin for them. They're quite literally entities. They're born as by-products of the fall of man. So at first they exist as amorphous, imperceptible energy until they materialize. Materialize into what? Personifications of the seven deadly sins (wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and gluttony).

Why sins? Because I was reading about the original sin, "the tendency to sin innate in all human beings, held to be inherited from Adam in consequence of the Fall." (the entities are born from the Fall) Though there is no correlation between the original sin and the seven deadly sins, still we can imagine.

But KM, they're only four Horsemen! That's okay. The three other sins can be other characters of prominence. For example, I came up with all of this when I was plotting Chief Goodness' origins, Goodness is going to be one of the sins, but he isn't a Horseman.
