A superhero, and a member of the Justice League.
Description[]
Doctor Fate is seen both as an adult and, at another time, as a ten-year-old. In his grown-up form, he wears his usual blue-and-yellow costume that has a cape with turned-down collar, a broad yellow belt (rather than 'briefs') and is completed with the golden Helmet of Fate. At each side of his waist hangs an Egyptian ankh-shaped 'key' and there is a large 'sun' disk on his chest. As a child, he wears a similar costume, and we see that he has fair hair when not wearing the helmet. The adult Doctor Fate does not have any lines to speak so it is not possible to determine his character.
His powers are magical and come from the Helmet of Fate that is said to be, "one of the most powerful magical objects in all Creation," and he loses his powers when not wearing it. It is implied that his magic is more powerful than that of either Zatanna or Constantine when he is seen to be the only one who can affect their escape from the House of Mystery, and he is more effective at detecting supernatural threats like the sudden appearance of that house. However, he is able to be ambushed by another powerful sorcerer, Klarion the Witch Boy, who is the one who transforms him into a ten-year-old.
