When his archaeologist father perished unearthing an ancient Mesopotamian tomb; young Kent Nelson became the ward of the revived Lord of Order inside - Nabu. Nelson was trained to master the mystic arts, eventually receiving three objects of great power: The Amulet of Anubis, The Cloak of Destiny, and The Helmet of Fate. With these artifacts he would become an agent of order and enemy of evil!
Doctor Fate has appeared sporadically in DC multimedia, most often as the iconic Kent Nelson. It has recently been announced that Pierce Brosnan will appear as the hero in the 2022 feature film Black Adam. Although details of the plot remain limited, Brosnan's Fate is expected to share the big screen with a version of the Justice Society of America.
Did You Know: Kent Nelson has not been the sole custodian of The Helmet of Fate. His mantle has been taken up by many men and women, including his wife Inza Cramer, great nephew Kent V. Nelson, Eric Strauss, Linda Strauss, Jared Stevens, Hector Hall, Khalid Nassour, and Nabu himself!

Fight Club Remarks: We've barely scratched the surface of Doctor Fate's vast mystic domain. The scope of his concern transcends hand-to-hand combat, but there are still many battles to be examined.
Featured Fights:
- Doctor Fate versus Hawkman (All-Star Squadron #4)
- Justice Society versus Morgauth (JSA Strange Adventures #1)
- Justice League versus The Demons Three (Justice League Unlimited #14)
