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.
