# Doctor Fate (Khalid Nassour)

Dr. Khalid Nassour (Arabic: نصّور خالد) is a superhero featured in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Paul Levitz and artist Sonny Liew, Nassour first appeared in Aquaman: Convergence #2 (May, 2015) and is the eighth version of the Doctor Fate. Unlike prior versions within the main continuity, the character has profound ties to the Egyptian aspect of the character and is the first Muslim character in DC Comics to headline a solo series.
The character initially appears as a Brooklyn born medical student of mixed Egyptian-American heritage. Aspiring to become a physician, Khalid is chosen by ancient Egyptian deities and archangels to be the next Doctor Fate, a legacy hero tasked with safeguarding the universe against supernatural menaces as one of DC Universe's foremost magical practitioners. He is supported by the deities, Nabu, and mentored by Kent Nelson, the original Doctor Fate revealed to be his granduncle. Since his debut in 2015, the character has been featured in various titles such as his Doctor Fate solo series and a reoccurring supporting character within the Justice League Dark and Justice Society of America, playing a pivotal role in several storylines. Overtime, the character later is depicted as a physician supported by the mysterious Egyptian goddess Hauhet, replacing Nabu as his patron spirit.
Reactions to the character has were generally mixed to positive. Some expressed the character to be a positive step towards representation in comics and believed the incorporation of an Egyptian-born character to make sense. Others expressed concerns of the character's age diminishing the original version's struggles and the character invoking much of Egypt's past instead of modern history as well as his ultimate role in storylines. Currently, he is the second longest-running incarnation of Doctor Fate to be published continuously.
Thus far, the character has made few appearances in media. He would make his first media appearance in the animated series Young Justice, voiced by Usman Ally. He would also appear as a DLC summon character in Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure.

## Publication history
### Creation and development

At the conclusion of the Convergence limited series in June 2015 and the launch of the "DC You" line, DC Comics introduced a new ongoing Doctor Fate series written by Paul Levitz and illustrated by Sonny Liew. This series featured Khalid Nassour, an Egyptian-American medical student, as the newest Doctor Fate. Levitz noted that Dan DiDio and Jim Lee aimed for a different approach compared to the original incarnation created by Gardner Fox during the Golden Age of Comic Books, with Levitz expressing particular fascination with the Egyptian connection of the character:
   So looking at the kinds of diversity we have today, and remembering a bunch of my conversations with Egyptian Americans, I just thought, what if a person who gets the helmet this time, in this world, is an Egyptian American young man? And for a visual look, the guys really wanted something fresh - not the standard superhero approach that's been going on for the last few years. I liked Sonny Liew's work years ago on My Faith in Frankie, and ran into him in Singapore a few years ago when I got the chance to be the guest of honor at a convention there. And I've watched his work and stayed aware of it in the years since.

### Comic book appearances

First appearing in Convergence: Aquaman #2 as part of a sneak peek preview in May 2015, the first issue of the Doctor Fate series was released in June 2015 and ran until its cancellation in November 2016, surrounding the character's origin story and early adventures, which included his connection to the original Doctor Fate Kent Nelson, who made his New 52 debut within the same series. The character also made minor appearances in other titles in between 2015 and 2016. Afterwards, the character was absent for nearly two years and Kent Nelson's character returned to the role for a time.
In June 2018, Nassour's character was revealed to be a major character in the second Justice League Dark series written by James Tynion IV starring a new roster led by Wonder Woman and first appeared in the second issue of the series in August 2018. The character would become a reoccurring support character throughout the run, culminating to him adopting the Doctor Fate mantle officially from the Kent Nelson character officially and was redesigned with a new Doctor Fate costume. While the original 2018 series was cancelled in 2020, the Justice League Dark series was instead re-purposed as a backup issue to the mainstream Justice League title, the backup issue written by award-winning author Ram V featuring a new storyline with Khalid remaining a reoccurring member of the Justice League Dark subdivision. The character also made notable appearances in several title crossovers and Bendis's run on the Justice League title.
In late 2022, Nassour was revealed to be among the cast of characters in Geoff John's upcoming Justice Society of America limited comic book series, which would include the exploration of the character as a legacy hero and continue the story established from V's backup issues of Justice League Dark. The title addresses timeline discrepancies, noting events like "Zero Hour" occurred eight years earlier and the 2015 Doctor Fate series is set one year prior. However, Khalid's appearances in other titles and in the series suggest a tenure longer than four years, as he is depicted as a first-year resident physician. The character would later appear in several other company crossovers, including Dark Crisis alongside its spin-offs. In 2023, the character made several appearances in Knight Terrors. In the same year, the previous histories of Doctor Fate was later restored, retroactively making the character the eighth person within the DC Universe to adopt the mantle, whereas past stories imply he is the second succeeding Nelson.
In 2024, the character appears in the Absolute Power crossover. Coinciding with the DC All In initiative, a new JSA series was announced in July with writer Jeff Lemiere and illustrator Diego Olortengui as part of the creative team. Lemiere revealed Nassour as an important character within the series.

## Fictional character biography

In the character's origin story "Blood Price", Khalid Nassour is a twenty-two year old summa cum laude graduate and aspiring physician who is chosen by Bastet to inherit the Doctor Fate mantle. With the support of the Egyptian deities, archangels connected to his Muslim faith, and the spirit within the helmet, Nabu the Lord of Order, he is tasked with overcoming the foe, Anubis. While initially reluctant to take the role, he accepts the role and manages to defeat the god, the victory marks the beginning of his journey as Doctor Fate.
Struggling to balancing his dual life due to his limited supernatural knowledge as he battles various foes interconnected to those around him, Nassour encounters his great uncle, who reveals himself as his predecessor. Nassour is subsequentially mentored by Nelson, with his skills improving and managed to prove worthy to Osiris and defeats another foe with power over manipulating the fate of others. Sometime later in the second Justice League Dark comic book series featuring a new incarnation of the team led by Wonder Woman, Nassour's apprenticeship is interrupted for nearly a year when he is sealed by Nabu following hijacking Nelson's body in response to a growing threat from the otherworldly creatures known as the Otherkind, known to feed on magic. Nassour is freed by Kirk Langstrom, explaining to both Justice League Dark team members and allies of Nabu's plan to destroy the Sphere of the Gods, the source of magic and various mystical dimensions in the DC Universe, to kill off the magic-eating Otherkind and is assisted by other Lords of Order. With the efforts of a chaos magic-empowered Justice League Dark and other allies, Nabu and the Lords of Order are defeated. In the aftermath, Nassour joins the team on a consultant basis but rejects the idea of being Doctor Fate in place of Nelson even at his mentor's insistence.

### The All-New Doctor Fate

The sorceress supervillain Circe founds the Injustice League Dark and strikes at the team with her newfound power, possessing Hecate's mystical power, revealed to be a progenitor of magic in the DC Universe. When she strikes a powerful blow to the Justice League Dark, Nassour responds by donning the helm once more, officially succeeding Kent and plays a critical role in defeating the Injustice League Dark and later bringing balance of the elemental forces. As the sole Doctor Fate, Nassour is a trusted member of the Justice League and Justice League Dark.
Nassour becomes involved in the efforts to defeat Upside-Down Man but is rendered unconscious in the battle and is replaced by Kent, who sacrifices himself and depletes the helm in the process but allows an opportunity for Zatanna to ultimately defeat the villain. Nassour later partners with Langstrom to restore power to the helm but becomes inhabited by Hauhet, who replaces Nabu and grants him disturbing visions of his impending defeat and destruction of the Tower of Fate. He helps the JLD battle an evil Merlin who seeks to control magic and resurrects Arion, a Lord of Order intimately connected to a nearly uncontrollable source of magic. He also helps various heroes (Flash, Superman, Naomi, etc.) with both his mystical and medical expertise while taking in Stitch, a teenaged, animated, non-binary ragdoll as his apprentice and sent them to Teen Titans Academy to learn the values of heroism.
During a team-up to battle reoccurring foe Xanadoth, Nabu temporarily returns to aid the Justice League and Justice League Dark when the Lord of Chaos possess Black Adam. Shortly afterward, following the seemingly death of the Justice League's core members, he joins the Justice Society and helps in efforts to defeat Pariah and the Great Darkness. In Lazarus Planet, Batman deduces Doctor Fate to have been defeated by Nezha to acquire the helm for his purposes, explaining his mysterious disappearance noted by other heroes. The new hero Dreamer discovers he was entrapped by Nezha in his subconscious when enlisted by Batman to track him down, her actions eventually freeing him.

#### Infinite Frontier and DC All-In

Sometime afterward, Nassour graduates from medical school and becomes a first-year intern. While seeking to learn more about Hauhet, Nassour becomes entangled in Per Degaton's scheme to replace the JSA with a ritual and is targeted but meets future Huntress, who recognizes him as a teammate of her time. Although Degaton underestimates him, Nassour manages to seal the villain with the help of Doctor Fates and JSA members from across time, as Degaton's time paradox nature makes him unkillable. Nassour also meets Salem the Witch Girl, Nelson's arrogant sidekick who was previously erased from history. The witch proves hostile due to his placement in the legacy of Doctor Fate, causing him to place Salem under the JSA's care until the pair can reconcile and is taken to the future to help the Legion of Substitute Heroes.
Nassour is also involved in the Knight Terrors and Absolute Power crossovers, among the heroes captured in the latter by Amanda Waller's Amazo robots. Sometime after Absolute Power, Nassour is among the expansive members of the now rebranded Justice League Unlimited, focused on strengthening the connections within the superhero community with a larger number of members. He assists in defeating Darkseid, who has bonded with the Spectre using a Miracle Machine although the League inadvertently helps the villain create the Absolute Universe.

## Characterization

Throughout the character's publication history as the modern version of Doctor Fate, Nassour has undergone various shifts in characterization.

### Description and themes

In the character's debut and early appearances, Khalid Nassour is introduced as to be a man in his early twenties (specifically twenty-two during his solo series) and older than typical college aged superheroes to make him more distinguishable. He is a medical student with a background as a former emergency medical technician and a college graduate majoring in organic chemistry. Paul Levitz's, drew inspiration from iconic characters such as Spider-Man and Doctor Strange while influenced by his collaborations with Steve Ditko. He depicts Khalid as young man burdened with significant responsibilities, embarking on a journey of self-discovery within a world reminiscent of Doctor Strange's mystical realm. As Doctor Fate, he grapples with both the immense power of the helm and its responsibilities as a defender against evil and chaos, striking a balance between his dual life as a superhero. Nassour also comes to terms with the implications of his role within his religious beliefs. Sika A. Dogbovie-Mullins, an author from Mixed-Race Superheroes, believes Khalid's heroic journey is linked to his lineage and the concept of a "divine right of kings," aligning with Chosen One narrative trope. Unlike iconic American superheroes like Batman or Superman who fight for truth, justice, and the American way, Khalid is chosen to fight for truth, justice, and the "(ancient) Egyptian ways."
In more recent stories, several storylines has made the character a physician and a respected member of the several premier superhero teams. As a renown sorcerer, Nassour serves as a mystic consultant and uses his medical expertise, in one instance having served as Superman's therapist after he revealed his dual identity as Clark Kent. The experience level of the character has also been subjected to varying interpretations; writer Ram V described Khalid as "a man in possession of great knowledge and great responsibilities" and the character is revealed to have a sorcerer apprentice. However, Jeff Lemire's portrayal instead casts the character as inexperienced, still learning the role and notes a level of insecurity, believing both his age and continual learning making him unique among other versions to characterize.

### Religious and racial identity

During the character's inception to create a new version of Doctor Fate, Nassour was made Egyptian-American in order emphasize aspects of Egypt often incorporated to Doctor Fate, with Levitz admitting such a focus with the original Doctor Fate wasn't possible prior. He is also of relation to a family of ancient pharaohs in Egypt, granting him mystical potential. Due to his maternal line connecting him to the Nelson bloodline, the character would also be of Swedish and British ancestry. Within his comic book series, Nassour was characterized as Muslim although his faith was depicted as struggling prior due to competing beliefs from his parents' respective Islam and Methodism and the added existence of the Egyptian deities. The second story arc rationalized both religions as legitimate but leaned towards Islamic beliefs, with one archangel supporting Khalid suggesting the Egyptian deities as either jinns or angels whom have stylized themselves as gods and work similar to their mythological counterparts but also work in tandem to DC's depiction to Allah. Aspects of this portrayal has been criticized, having been said to the character to feeling culturally inauthentic and would have benefitted from input by a Muslim writer.
The Young Justice version of Khalid Nassour features several departures and alternate depictions; while retaining his Egyptian identity and heritage, his American and British ancestry is connected to Mayflower pilgrims and the Homo magi race, thus making him a distance descendant of the series' version of Arion, whose lineage is responsible for his potential in magic and is grandson of Vandal Savage within that series' continuity. The character was similarly noted to be Muslim although this depiction did not feature influence of any derivatives of Christianity onto the character.

### Design and costume

First created and designed with an emphasis on the Egyptian aspect of Doctor Fate, artist Sony Liew fist drew the character with a focus on representing his heritage through physical attributes such as hair, nose shape, and skin tone. Khalid is also depicted with a more average physique, diverging from the muscular physiques often associated with superhero characters. In accordance to depicting him more average, official profile sources also cite the character to be canonically 5'5".
As Doctor Fate, the character has been depicted wearing distinctive costumes. In the 2015 Doctor Fate series, the character initially wore contemporary clothing comprising a blue hoodie and jeans while donning the Helmet of Fate and Amulet of Thoth. While the original intent was for the character to gradually acquire pieces of the original Doctor Fate costume, positive reception of the contemporary design led to an editorial decision to maintain the appearance. In the Justice League Dark series, he received a revised costume which depicts Nassour in a dark blue coverall scrub combined with a golden/yellow belt and loin cloth, a golden cape secured by the Amulet of Anubis, and golden/white-colored sneakers. This design is notable for incorporating the classic elements associated with Doctor Fate while blending elements of Egyptian aesthetics with contemporary American attire.
Despite the character's distinctive design and costume, he is occasionally depicted wearing the same outfits and accessories associated with modern costume variation of Kent Nelson and other associated Doctor Fates and sometimes has a more toned appearance and taller build.

### Reputation

Within both the DC Universe and publication, the Doctor Fate character is cited as among the most powerful superheroes on Earth although each incarnation varies in specific placement. Nassour's specific abilities has varied throughout the course of his history; at first, the character was cited early on to be lesser than all previous versions. Later, he was remarked in stories to be inferior only to Kent and Hector's versions of Doctor Fate and then being equal with the former. Another story compared his prowess alongside Zatanna, with the both cited as Earth's "finest mystic warriors" and in one source, he is stated to be the most powerful sorcerer.

## Powers, abilities, and resources

Nassour possess natural magic powers derived from his pharaoh lineage, capable of various abilities such as flight, telekinesis, and time manipulation. He also possess supernatural senses, allowing him to perceive souls (in the perspective of a ba) and sense the fates of others, complimenting his role as Doctor Fate, and is remarked to be immortal. Nassour is also highly intelligent; he is a summa cum laude graduate, a formerly trained EMT, and holding a doctorate degree as a physician. He is knowledgeable in several fields of sciences and medicine: emergency medicine, chemistry, organic chemistry, and psychology. His training under Nelson and Nabu also makes him knowledgeable on supernatural matters and able to speak several different languages. He also possess some skill in hand-to-hand combat.

### Mystical artifacts and resources

As Doctor Fate, Nassour possesses a collection of artifacts in which helps channels and focuses his powers. They also serve a dual purpose of both enhancement and act as protective measures.The Helmet of Fate, a powerful artifact that bestows godlike magical powers and knowledge, uniquely also grants him incredible element-controlling powers, allowing him to manipulate the elements and power magic through them for abilities such as intangibility, projecting mystic bolts, flight and healing. When the helm is powered by Hauhet, Nassour can see into "eternity", which includes seeing into the future and can break the fourth wall. Khalid also possesses the Amulet of Thoth and Cloak of Destiny, the latter which traditionally grants invulnerability, superhuman strength, and flight. It is also fireproof and resists chaos magic.
Nassour's base of operations as is the Tower of Fate, a nexus of magic that lacks physical doors and can only be accessed by magic. The tower itself houses an collection of mystic artifacts and possess powerful wards capable of repelling powerful magic, alien energies, and physical strength from beings such as Kryptonians. Nassour also uses artifacts not typically carried by other incarnations; The Staff of Power, an artifact gifted to him by Thoth, allows for energy manipulation and is powered by his blood. He also carries the Eternity Book, a grimoire containing Merlin's most powerful spells and is considered among the most powerful items in the DC Universe.

### Weaknesses

Nassour's versions has some limitations, his healing powers ineffectively against injuries of divine and ghostly forces, a cost for using the helm to see into the future has can impair his vision, and as an incarnation of Doctor Fate, he is ultimately inferior to the Spectre in power.

## Supporting cast
### Family and friends

Among key supporting characters in the 2015 Doctor Fate series were Muhammed and Elizabeth Nassour (née Nelson), Nassour's parents. Muhammed was an Egypt-born Muslim, former physician, and taxi driver who becomes aware of his son's dual life and supports him, being a source of inspiration for him. His mother, a well-regarded archeologist and of Christian faith known to possess a more worrisome personality, initially is left unaware of her son's dual life by both him and Muhammed but manages to learn of it on her own. The family pet cat, Puck, is the frequent vessel for Bastet. Kent Nelson, his maternal granduncle and brother to Elizabeth's father, becomes his mentor after learning of his destiny as the new Doctor Fate. While a strict and stern mentor, he is also encouraging and the pair develop a deep bond. Outside his series, Nassour adopted jovial non-binary animated ragdoll, Stitch, as both his child and apprentice.
Nassour's childhood best friend is Akila, who often encourages him towards activism but is unaware of his dual life and is subjected to various mystical mishaps. She also has romantic feelings for Nassour, a fact he was unaware of. Nassour is a friend of several heroes such as Superman (Clark Kent/Kal-El), Flash (Wally West), Kirk Langstrom, Zatanna, and Wildcat (Ted Grant), whom is slated to serve in a mentor role towards Khalid. Shaya Halim, a fellow aspiring physician, serves as the character's love interest in the 2015 Doctor Fate series.

### Allies

As Doctor Fate, Nassour's allies include the Egyptian deities, who act as his patrons. Chiefly, the character was chosen by Bastet, who guides and supports Nassour due to his connection to pharaohs, giving him mystical powers. While doubtful at times due to his age, her support of him is firm and she intervenes often to ensure his social life is not ruined by his duties and protects his secret identity. He is also supported by Thoth, whose power is granted through the helm in earlier stories, and archangels disguised as humans who advise both in his personal life and his work as Doctor Fate. The angels work in tandem with the Egyptian deities (considered a variant of angels), both answering to the DC Comics' depiction of Allah, the character known as the Presence.
Nabu among those who supports him although unlike his arrangement with Nelson, he is akin to a "combination of a GPS system and the movie version of Iron Man's J.A.R.V.I.S." under Khalid and the patronage of the Egyptian deities, giving him advise in mystical situations but is often vague, making Khalid figure out certain situations. Later stories make him the prime patron like similar to traditional stories, although Nabu favors Khalid and cedes control to him. Nabu is later replaced by Hauhet, who takes his role and is supportive although her motives are currently unclear. As his patron, she allows Khalid to see into the future for a cost.

### Enemies

Nassour has several reoccurring adversaries; Chief among them is Anubis, the fictional depiction of the god of the same name, whom was Khalid's first adversary and most significant enemy, seeking to elevate his divine station. He targets the Nassour family due to their bloodline and relation to the pharaohs able to invoke influence over him. Another notable adversary is Xanadoth, a Lords of Chaos who often seeks to supplant her "brand" of chaos by absorbing the power of the Lords of Chaos and Order, adding them to her already overwhelming power, and the Wotan, a shared arch-enemy of the original Doctor Fate. In team settings, he also frequently encounters Eclipso, a former Spirit of Vengeance.

## Other versions

With Enchantress and Jason Blood as his lieutenants, Khalid makes a deal to act his oracle but imparts a careful gambit in defeat Etrigan, reminding him of the demon's abilities to perceive time differently. The ultimate fate of this future timeline is unknown.
* In a possible future revealed in The New Golden Age storyline taking place two decades from the Prime Earth, Khalid is one of the few old legacies of the JSA active.

* Khalid Nassour makes a cameo appearance in the Batman: Full Moon DC Black Label series.

## Reception

Nassour's character has been generally well received by critics; Book Riot's Jessica Plumber noted similarities between Khalid and Marvel Comics' Kamala Khan, both of whom represent important additions to the underrepresented demographic and praised the character's design and significance of diverse representation in the comic book industry, commending the creators for addressing the gap. IGN writer Levi Hunt viewed the character as a positive step in establishing diversity within DC Comics and appreciated the incorporation of Egyptian mythology, which deviates from the commonly used Greek and Roman mythological themes prevalent in comics. Charli Snow of CBR also positively viewed Khalid's character in several storylines pertaining to both the 2015 Doctor Fate and 2018 Justice League Dark comic book series, also noting the character's heritage in relation to Doctor Fate's Egyptian connections, more accessible storylines, and noted his ascension to leadership in the latter series.

### Criticisms

However, Plummer expressed certain criticisms regarding certain aspects of the character. She believed that the Doctor Fate comic featuring Khalid did not feel innovative or culturally authentic and suggested the need for a Muslim-led writer to bring a more genuine perspective. Additionally, Plummer was critical of the character's storyline in James Tynion IV's run in Justice League Dark, where Khalid's fate involved being trapped within a vase by Nabu. She interpreted this plot development as an unintentional metaphor, considering Khalid, an Egyptian-born character, being reduced to a hieroglyphic confined within an ancient vase. Adrienne Resha, a researcher for Comic Studies Societies, raised similar concerns about the character's portrayal and design in the Justice League Dark comic title. Resha pointed out inconsistencies in how the character was drawn, characterized, and colored, particularly in relation to his age and skin tone. The researcher also noted that Khalid was often sidelined in favor of other characters, including his predecessor Kent Nelson, despite being the only clearly identifiable person of color in the team also criticized the character for frequently invoking Egypt's ancient past instead of exploring its modern history. Comic historian Tim Hanley also highlighted Nassour's character as having a short-lived ongoing series before being regulated into a secondary character in team books since the series conclusion, arguing that characters of colors existing within DC Comics and Marvel Comics are frequently sidelined, exist as backlist team members, or fade into obscurity.
Ashley Hurt of CBR expressed the character's age diminishing the struggles of Nelson's Doctor Fate and believed the character being older and a design reminiscent of a traditional Doctor Fate costume would help the character. Although Hurt's assessment of the character stated him to be of college age, the character's age slightly older during his debut, thus deviating from her statement.
