[edit] History

Doctor Fate was far older than he appeared. He defeated the demon Karkull a century before the age of Superman. When Karkull returned, Fate realized that no matter how hard he tried, evil would never give up, and he abandoned the fight. However, Superman's refusal to give up inspired him, showing that while evil would never surrender, neither would good men.

Years later, Fate became aware of Icthultu and the Old Ones attempts to reenter the realm of humans. He went to Aquaman, whose ancestor King Poseidon had defeated the Olds Ones and banished Icthultu millennia ago with the Trident. Fate attempted to preform a ritual to that would seal Icthultu away, using the Trident and Solomon Grundy, whom Fate agreed to help reclaim his soul. However, the Justice League interfered with the ritual, resulting in a battle where Hawkgirl's Nth metal mace overwhelmed the magician. After Fate finally explained what was going on, Hawkgirl suggested that they go and kill Icthultu instead of the ritual. Though riskier than the ritual, Fate realized that it was a more viable solution. The heroes managed to destroy Icthultu, but Solomon Grundy was lost.

[edit] Justice League

After the Thanagarian invasion, Doctor Fate accepted an invitation to join the expanded Justice League. What Fate didn't inform the League was that he and his wife Inza had given shelter to Hawkgirl, who was exiled from Thanagar and disgraced from the League over her role in the invasion. He allowed Hawkgirl to stay there for months until she was ready, though he did keep her mace in a pocket dimension to prevent it from interfering with the magic energy within his home.

When Amazo returned to Earth, Fate argued that they should give him a chance, for he had proved benevolent before. Learning that the Android only wanted to find a purpose, he stopped the Green Lantern Corps long enough for Lex Luthor to talk to Amazo, then offered to help Amazo find his purpose in life.

A group of college students accidentally resurrected Solomon Grundy with Chaos Magic. After informing J'onn J'onzz of what happened, he took Hawkgirl, Aquaman, and Amazo to try to stop Grundy. Unfortunately, Fate's magic, Amazo's technology, the powers of Superman and John Stewart were unable to stop him. Worse, Fate discovered that there was nothing in Grundy's mind but rage. Out of options, Hawkgirl was forced to kill Grundy with her mace. Though saddened at having lost her friend, it also lead Hawkgirl to rejoin the Justice League.

[edit] Powers and Abilities

Doctor Fate has the ability to fly, teleport, pass through solid objects and has a wide knowledge of magic and extradimensional entities.
