Dr. Fate
The Mystic Mage
ORIGIN
Famed archaeologist Sven Nelson was excavating the tomb of Nabu,
a Lord of Order, when a cloud of gas escaped from the sarcophagus,
killing him instantly. His young son Kent was spared, however,
and was confronted by the spirit of Nabu instead. Nabu selected
Kent Nelson as his champion on Earth to fight the forces of
Chaos. Training Kent in the mystic arts, Nabu also imbued his
spirit into a golden helmet. Whenever Kent puts the helmet on,
Nabu takes control of his body, fusing the two into the hero
known as Dr. Fate
FIGURE STATS
Dr. Fate is well sculpted and looks very striking when put next
to other figures, mainly due to his two tone appearance. The
figure is missing the yellow section that covers his lower stomach.
I've never seen a version of Dr. Fate without it, but I could
be wrong. When his legs are squeezed together he casts a spell
that would put the mystic moons of munipoor to shame.
COMMENTS
While he has endured ups and downs over the years, Dr. Fate
remains one of DC's oldest yet most underutilized characters.
One does wonder why a Dr. Fate and no Spectre, however. Strangely,
the character became a woman at about the time this figure was
released. Oh, well.
