The Master of Magic Battles the Mummy that Time Forgot!
Kent Nelson is Doctor Fate, a powerful sorcerer and agent for the Lords of Order who fights evil alongside his wife Inza. His amulet, cloak and helmet (shown on TV in Smallville & Constantine) are creations of the ancient Nabu who acts as his mentor and spiritual guide. He is a founding member of the Justice Society of America. Doctor Fate was created by Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman, first appearing in More Fun Comics #55.
