The first one is I believe a "suspicially similar substitude". Not specific to sins, but it covers the general case.

For the second one there's Shrouded in Myth, but I'm not sure it would cover cases where the subject of the myths literally doesn't exist.

Hm, not sure that second one really fits.
Hello.
I am looking for some trope that might fit for some kind of Seven Deadly Sins parallels, specifically something that covers a fictional version. There are seven sins or vices but they are not the traditional lineup. Is there a trope for it?
Also, is there a trope for a villain that is eventually revealed to have never existed? They became notorious either through lies, rumors or stories to the point that they were believed to be real only to be revealed to have all been fiction where the stories took on a life of their own.
