Who is Doctor Fate?

A mystical champion of order wielding the power of the ancient Lord of Order Nabu through the legendary Helm of Fate, this 1987 incarnation of Doctor Fate emerged during the Copper Age, crossing paths with Superman, Green Lantern, and other DC heavyweights.

Mystical and iconic, Doctor Fate is one of DC's most enduring sorcerous presences — and this particular incarnation stepped into the Copper Age spotlight in 1987, introduced by the legendary John Byrne in the pages of Superman #6. Sharing adventures with heavyweights like Superman, Green Lantern, and Hal Jordan, this version of the character moves in the grandest circles the DC Universe has to offer. Appearing across Action Comics, Doctor Fate, and Firestorm the Nuclear Man, the character's footprint spans some of the most compelling titles of the late '80s. A fascinating piece of Copper Age DC history, this is a character worth tracking down for anyone drawn to the intersection of cosmic heroism and arcane mystery.
