Im astounded there’s an article on CBR that talks about Khalid Nassour’s Doctor Fate in a positive manner that accurate sums up a portion of his abilities as if he’s a definitive Dr. Fate rather than talk about Kent & mention him as an afterthought.

Yeah it mentions his inexperience again but it just says he may not be the most (he’s the second most though) which is technically true in a sense. Maybe there’s hope for the character.

Forget about Captain Marvel vs Shazam or Mary’s hero name: I wanna know If and how these two are related.

Dudley Dudley and Darla Dudley. What’s their story?

I never liked the idea of any of the main Batfamily learning to do magic in their stories. First off, it’s already bad enough you can’t enter any discussion about renown intelligence and abilities without a Batfamily character being mentioned. Don’t need them to be added over characters whose home genre is the supernatural.

Secondly, it’s all a lot of Zatanna-derived magic. Given how much the ‘cost of magic’ is a presence that rears its head in and it’s supposedly a hard kind of magic to learn without specialized time & practice, it’s portrayed as being easy to pick up when Batman, Damian, or even Ra’s use it. I appreciate Red Hood being more distinct and comes from training at least.

And thirdly, lot of fan’s support this idea in hopes it takes off to letting characters join teams like Justice League Dark, as a Batman character would be a highly profiled character in teams that usually don’t actual feature Batman characters & grant opportunities to focus on them and honestly, DC Universe caters too much to Batfam compared to any other group of characters by far.

That what it seems like to me too. Only certain characters get used and it's pretty much due to likeability because indeed, Zatanna, Constantine, and Raven are the most renown magical characters in DC although Constantine continually baffles me.

I absolutely despise this trend of Khalid being unable to do anything. You mean to tell me he got Bizzaro-ified, despite having the Helmet of Fate, and that Xanadu and Zatanna are restraining him? He is the most powerful magical being on Earth. He's capable of magic without the helmet and learned how to use it entirely on his own. Stop jobbing him, istg.

He didn't even need to be mentioned! He's in the future based on JSA, so they could've easily said that he ins't around to participate in this instead of making him lose offscreen!

[dcs-fkin-mystics]

Honestly, this trend is not just with him but with even other magicaal characters, like how in Lazarus Planet, they're useless until the end of the story to make way for Bruce and Damian to be able to do things.

Nevertheless, it's still stupid Khalid!Doctor Fate can't ever do too much lest it takes away from title character, which I wonder why bring him in the first place. Cause you're right: they didnt NEED to have him here.

And also, he is just mentioned but they drew John Constantine to literally waste a panel of him telling Blue Devil to get him lunch. And I wish I was exaggerating but that's all he really did.

Highkey likely yes.

Within DC's case, within context of the Arion Lord of Atlantis, while Arion (the title character) was recognized by the title "Sorcerer Supreme of Atlantis", his father was simply "Sorcerer Supreme" at the same time. In that series too, a minor character named Icestarr was considered the Prime Mage of the East ("Prime Mage" being retroactively a synoynm for "Sorcerer Supreme") while Arion was considered Prime Mage too but I can't remember where his designation was (Contextually, the book took place primarily in Atlatis, which is somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean but was million of years or 500,000 years before the modern day and Icestarr was somewhere in Europe but halfway across the globe.)

With the addition of the panel above, both her and later Arion (who came back to power in the 90s in the Arion the Immortal series) were considered "Sorcerer Supremes" concurrently although they weren't really treated as such in the larger DCU tbh.

Who is DC’s Sorcerer Supreme?

The correct answers is Kent V. Nelson (NOT OG Kent. The image is DEFINITELY /KENT V/.) and Zatanna Zatara. They’re both the characters in mainstream continuity on Earth acknowledged as such whereas other incarnations aren’t even if others are more powerful. There’s also the fact Kent V. being hailed was done before Zee and she’s the most recent.

I stand corrected; Zatanna has been called that even maybe before Doctor Fate it seems.

I find it off putting that Khalid is continually not featured in art covers with the current Justice Society book. They’ll put Kent before him it seems given the variants.

Supernatural Saviors

The ancient arts of magic and mysticism have long been feared by ordinary people. Yet, although these arcane forces have often been mis-used by evil beings for their own selfish ends, heroes who use magic have emerged, establishing a long record of good deeds that rival those of the greatest super-heroes. All of these supernatural war-riors have their own unique way of tapping their mystical powers, and all have their own colorful history of heroism.

Doctor Fate, for example, was once in the Justice Society of America, then later joined the Justice League. In ancient times, Nabu, one of the super-natural Lords of Order, fought the forces of Chaos. In the modern era, Dr. Fate is a com-bination of the spirit Nabu, which resides in Fate's golden helmet, and a human agent wearing the helmet and wield-ing the powers. Most often, this has been Kent Nelson, though his wife, Inza, and oth-ers have donned the helmet and served as Dr. Fate. At times, Fate was even a com-posite of male and female, but always it is Nabu's almost limit-less power driving Dr. Fate's battle against Chaos.

Following in the footsteps of her heroic magician father, Zatara, and her mystical mother, Sindella, Zatanna creates magical spells by stating the outcome she desires back-wards. In this way, she can cause almost anything she can visualize to occur. Her powers have been put to good use during her stint as a Justice Leaguer.

His origin shrouded in mystery, the Phantom Stranger appears at times of crisis to lend guidance or use his own mystical powers in battle. Though his exact powers and limitations remain unknown, he seems capable of teleporting almost anywhere in this universe and realms beyond, always remote and aloof even as he risks all to fight evil.

Deadman, on the other hand, is the disembodied, invisible ghost of circus aerialist Boston Brand, who was empowered by the entity Rama Kushna to temporarily possess the bodies of living people and use them to maintain a balance of good over evil.

Then there is the case of Jason Blood and Etrigan the Demon. Condemned a thousand years ago to contain the evil demon within his own body, Jason Blood has since exerted varying degrees of control over his diabolical alter ego. At times, Blood could release Etrigan when the Demon's power was needed to combat an even more dangerous threat. Ironically, the Demon served the forces of good.

I’m omitting the last part of the sentence because honestly, the information in particular never came to be so it’s not relevant
