Dr. Fate Respect Thread

Dr. Fate Respect Thread.

Doctor Fate is best known as a member of the Justice Society of America. Created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Howard Sherman, he first appeared in More Fun Comics #55 (May 1940).

At his most potent, Doctor Fate is an accomplished sorcerer, able to match most other wizards in the DC Universe. He has been credited in DC's Who's Who as being one of the top 12 most powerful heroes in the DC Universe.

Kent Nelson was the best known and longest used Doctor Fate. He was an archeologist who discovered the tomb of the mystical being Nabu and was trained by him in the arts of magic.

Afterwards, DC introduced several new versions of Doctor Fate. These included: Eric and Linda Strauss, a man and woman who could merge to form Doctor Fate; Inza Nelson, Kent Nelson’s reincarnated wife; a mercenary named Jared Stevens who used Nelson’s weapons as simply Fate; and a resurrected Hector Hall, the son of Justice Society of America members Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Unlike many of his JSA teammates, Doctor Fate did not have an analogue or counterpart among the JLA. This was perhaps because the Silver Age revivals initiated by Julius Schwartz took a more science fictional bent, with which the character was not essentially compatible. In addition, this may have boosted his long-term popularity especially considering he is the closest counterpart the company has had to Marvel Comics' Doctor Strange.

Dr. Fate vs The Anti Life Entity (Cosmic Odyssey)

Ok, this starts off, Darkseid and Etrigan are fixing to be overcome by The ALE. Dr Fate saves them. Those of you that dont know, The ALE was stated to easily have the power to ravage the universe, in fact, a small part of it obliterated a 200 light year sq radius of space.

Dr Fate formes a cinque of cosmic power, adding the powers of Highfather, Darkseid, Etrigan, Orion and himself.

Still not enough. Eventually the entity would overcome it.

To halt The Anti-Life's influence. Dr Fate DESTROYS the dimension between the Anti Life's and their universe!

You should divide it up.

Thats why I have the issue numbers/volumes up there.

Didn't notice that. Will you be posting any 90's edgy Fate

Yeah I probably will divide it up once I'm done scanning in this thread, so I can possibly make a new one without going through the hassle of separating them, opposed to if I did it now. Because I haven't stuck with going from older to newer, and I kinda prefer it that way :/

Good thread.

Most of that stuff looks Pre - Crisis.

Yeah, everything in JLA v1 is Pre-Crisis Kent. I'm not willing to not include it in the Respect Thread. I haven't felt a need to separate it as of yet.
