Doctor Fate (Kent Nelson)

Kent Nelson, also known as Doctor Fate, Fate, Mighty Sorcerer and Nabu, is one of the major characters from the DC Comics series.
== Charactah Account ==
When young Kent Nelson was manipulated into killing his father, Sven, during an expedition in Mesopotamia when he unwittingly awoke Nabu from suspected animation, Nabu gifted the young boy with tutelage in the magical arts before gifting him the vestments and Artifacts of Fate. With it, Kent Nelson became known as Doctor Fate, the first of DC's most powerful and premier, heroic legacies of sorcerers, acting as agent for the Lords of Order and host for Nabu.
The majority of Kent's powers come from Nabu. The Helmet of Fate grants him vast magical powers but without the helmet, Kent's powers are limited to his own sorcery. On his own, Kent is an accomplished sorcerer and has some knowledge of the mystic arts but is unable to match the powers of Nabu. His main weakness is that his physical body can be destroyed or stressed.
