  • 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.

Wiz: Tell me, Boomstick, do you believe in fate?
