Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Dr Fate is a mantle that has been taken up by about a zillion people in the mainstream
continuity.
So, just to make matters more confusing and fun for everyone, heÕs also received quite
a few alternate versions across the multiverse.
Good luck keeping your doctors straight.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 ALT VERSIONS OF DR FATE.
In the number 10 spot, WE HAVE DOCTOR CHAOS.
This version of the doc belongs to earth-1.
His name is Bert Belker, and he was an assistant to an archaeologist at the time of discovering
a helmet that was almost the same as the famed helmet of Nabu, other than the color being
blue instead of the usual gold.
Rather than the spirit of Nabu, the helmet contained the evil Lord of Chaos, who promptly
corrupted poor Bert and made him a slave to tyranny, and it was up to Superboy to save
him from this fashion blunder.
Next, at number 9, IS FATE.
In the world of kingdom come, Doctor Fate was Nabu reclaiming his sentience without
the need for a host.
Here he is known simply as Fate, and though he may only appear as a floating cloak of
destiny and helm of fate, he is mighty.
He is one of BatmanÕs comrades and a giant asset when it came to transporting his teammates
or saving them from the nuclear bomb that was fired by the UN.
Never underestimate the power of sentient clothing.
http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Nabu_(Earth-22) Coming in at number 8, IS STEEL MAXUM.
This version of fate was exclusive to the animated suicide squad, hell to pay film.
Nabu selected him for what Steel thought was his prime physique and that one time he took
a magic class.
Well Nabu should maybe be a bit more picky, because shortly after being gifted as the
new doctor fate, he is taken down by Scandal Savage and knockout, and kicked out of the
tower of fate for his recklessness.
Guess all thatÕs left to do is become a stripper!
No, really, thatÕs actually what he ended up doing.
In the number 7 spot WE GOT NEW FRONTIER FATE.
Earth 21Õs Doctor Fate is a different version of Kent Nelson.
He was a member of the justice society until their forced disassembly after refusing to
reveal their hidden identities to the house of un-American activities.
Later on of course humanity is threatened by an entity known as the center, and while
Fate believes it is their duty to help, he is convinced otherwise by the Phantom Stranger.
And the strange is hosting a pretty mean banquet, so why not listen to him?
Those lousy humans can suffer their own consequences.
Up at number 6, IS EARTH 2 FATE.
This is yet again a different version of Kent Nelson, one who exists on an earth that mirrors
pre-crisis earth 2 after most of the multiverse aspects have been chewed up by mister mind.
Here the justice society of America is back to being the worldÕs first line of defense.
But Superman and powerigrl have gone missing.
This doesnÕt sit well with Fate, who teams up with the Spectre to find out what the mysterious
vanishing could be.
Coming in at number 5, WE HAVE SMALLVILLE FATE.
This version of the doc is up here as the only live action version of the character
so far.
Here he is played by actor Brent Stait.
This version barely remembers a life before becoming Doctor Fate, and really didnÕt have
much of a life after.
He was riddled with mental illness and institutionalized, as well as lost his family.
In the end, he saw a life worth living, but it wasnÕt hisÑit was SupermanÕs and Martian
ManhunterÕs.
Hence why he was only on the show for a brief spell sadly.
Next up, at number 4, IS GIOVANNI ZATARA.
If this name sounds familiar, thatÕs because it is.
Funny how that works out.
Giovanni Zatar is Zatanna ZataraÕs father.
In the show Young justice, Giovanni sacrifices himself as nabuÕs host so that the helmet
will release his daughter from its grasp.
He is now the new Doctor Fate, and though this comes with some changes to his personality,
he still retains his love for his daughter.
Who wouldÕve made a pretty cool doctor Fate too, but we love her too much as is.
Up next at number 3 is DOC FATE.
Doc Fate is exclusive to the world of earth 20.
Here he is an well-known adventurer turned superhero when he formed the group the society
of superheroes, also known as he SOS.
He pulled them together with hopes of becoming humanityÕs new defense team.
Other members include green lantern, atom, lady Blackhawk, and immortal man.
And this version of kent happens to be African American as wellÑbecause why not!
In the number 2 spot, WE HAVE DOCTOR STRANGEFATE.
This guy from the Amalgam Universe is a fun one.
HeÕs a combo of DCÕs Doctor Fate and MarvelÕs doctor strange.
But, to make it even more confusing, heÕs got the alias of marvelÕs Charles Xavier.
Fate can be a headache sometimes.
Charles was rescued in the Himalayas by Nabu and mentored by him, eventually becoming lord
supreme of order and one of the foudners of the judgement league of avengers.
So this guyÕs packing some serious power and some serious identity issues.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, IS FLASHPOINT FATE.
This is a new one, the Doctor fate of Flashpoint we are talking about here is Richard Grayson,
who you are much more familiar with as nightwing.
HeÕs an acrobatic member of HaleyÕs circus and saves the helmet after Kent Nelson, the
original Fate, is killed by attacking Amazons.
He sets fire to the attackers, including, gasp, Starfire.
And then takes up the mantle of Doctor Fate.
Not really the Dick that we know!!
So those were the top 10 ALT VERSIONS OF DR FATE.
