I don't know the comics but does whoever puts on the helmet become Dr Fate?

u/Kyunseo Oct 21 '22

Yes.

The current Dr. Fate in the comics is Kent Nelson's grand nephew, Khalid Nassour.

Yes!! I really hope they do a standalone Dr. Fate movie with him. Saleh Bakri would be such a good casting for the role.

I’m just gonna pretend Nabu was letting Carter hold him as one last fuck you to Sabbac for dusting Kent. Like, you kill my dude, fuck around and find out. Doesn’t fit Nabu at all but it’s all I got lmao

Don't you need to be chosen?

Yes. Doctor Fate is really a being called Nabu, the human wearing the helmet is just a host for his powers. Nelson was practically a slave to him.

In Young Justice, the current Doctor Fate is a team of sorcerers who share the burden by trading the helmet between each other every few weeks.
