Wiz: Tell me, Boomstick, do you believe in fate?
Boomstick: I only believe in one thing, Wiz: 18-year 100 proof whiskey.
Wiz: Well, after accompanying his father on an archaeological expedition in Mesopotamia, 12 year old Kent Nelson certainly did.
Boomstick: Instead of diggin' up boring ol' artifacts like tools or pottery, Kent uncovered a 10 billion year old God!
Too bad waking him up also... gassed Kent's dad to death.
Wiz: This slumbering God was Nabu, a Lord of Order born from the very beginning of the universe.
While Nabu normally cares little about the universally inconsequential concerns of individual humans, this time was different.
Nabu took the newly orphaned Kent under his wing and taught him the ways of magic.
Boomstick: Oh, sweet!
I'd take a god dad over a ordinary one any day.
But really, I'd just take any dad...
Wiz: Though Nabu wasn't too Keen on the actual parenting part of the deal.
So he just magic'd Kent into a full grown adult over the course of a week.
Boomstick: That mean he got hit with all those years of awkward puberty all at once?
My God!
Talk 'bout a mood swing.
Wiz: To master the mystic arts, Nabu granted Kent three ancient relics.
First and foremost, Kent donned the Golden Helmet of Fate.
Boomstick: Well Kent woke up the physical body, Nabu's soul is actually inside this helmet.
So when Kent put it on, his spirit merged with Nabu's, and they became Dr. Fate.
Wait, he's twelve!
Technically, he can't be a doctor yet, right?
Wiz: Well, in time, he became a trained physician and achieved a PhD in archaeology.
Boomstick: Good for him!
Anyway, he's also got the Cloak of Destiny, which gave him flight, super strength, and superhuman durability.
Wiz: Lastly, he received the Amulet of Anubis,
a talisman which increases Fate's powers,
counters opposing magic,
and can launch an intense beam of magical firepower.
It also houses its own pocket dimension, where the souls of past Doctor Fates reside.
Boomstick: Oh yeah, LOTS of people have worn that shiny helmet.
And not ALL of them were Doctors...
Even Kent's wife, Inza, got in on the magic action!
But Kent is, like, the main one, so we're stickin' with him.
Man, I wish I had that helmet.
Wiz: I don't.
Nabu would, basically, control your life, and he's kind of a dick.
Boomstick: Yeah but then I could just like magic alcohol in front of me and brin' back that bottle of booze you broke last week.
Wiz: Wait, what?
YOU threw that at ME.
Boomstick: And you didn't catch it.
You owe me, Wiz.
Wiz: WHAT!?
Boomstick: You heard me?
Anyway come back next week for the full episode of Doctor Strange VS Doctor Fate.
