History:
Kent Nelson was born in 1928, the son of Sven Nelson, a noted archaeologist and Celestine Babcock Nelson, a spiritual medium. Celestine Nelson died under unknown circumstances shortly after Kent's birth and Kent became a tagalong for his globe-trotting father. In 1940, Sven and Kent Nelson were conducting a dig in the Valley of Ur in Mesopotamia. Young Kent stumbled upon an ancient sarcophagus containing the giant body of a stately being, Nabu the Wise. Upon opening the sarcophagus, Kent released poison gas which immediately slew his father. Nabu, a mystical Lord of Order originally from the planet Cilia, took pity on the boy and used his magic to block the grief from the young boy's mind. Over the intervening months, Nabu schooled Kent Nelson in the ways of mysticism, teaching him to cast spells and fly. During this time, Kent Nelson aged years instead of weeks so that he had grown to adult hood by late summer. Nelson had grown fond of Nabu, but the Lord of Order required one last act of Kent Nelson: the death of his own body. Nelson hesitated but Nabu removed the inhibitions he had placed on Nelson's grief and in a rage, Nelson slew the old wizard. With his body destroyed, Nabu was revealed as an energy being, a millennia-old Lord of Order. He revealed his true nature to Nelson and present him with 2 gifts, a helm and an amulet. When Nelson wore the Helm, he was joined with Nabu who used his body as an agent against the Lords of Chaos (More Fun #67, Secret Origins vol. 2 #23). Nelson then adopted the nom de guerre of Doctor Fate.
Fate's first encounter upon his christening was the sorcerer Wotan. Wotan is an ancient wizard who had battled Nabu in a previous physical incarnation (All-Star Squadron #47). Wotan used both medieval magics combined with advanced technology to accomplish his goals of earthly conquest. In 1940, Wotan planned to destroy the Earth and had captured Inza Kramer, a student of Columbia University, in Egypt. Fate rescued Kramer and defeated Wotan. When the two returned to America, Wotan assaulted them again, but was again defeated. To protect the world from Wotan, Fate put the ancient mage in a deep trance and buried him beneath the ground (More Fun #56). Afterwards, Fate and Kramer become lovers and Fate shared the knowledge of his dual identity with her (More Fun #66). Fate set up a base of operations in Salem, Massachusetts, residing in a doorless, windowless tower that only he could enter or leave. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Fate encountered The Spectre, another powerful magically based hero and the two defeated a effort to subvert military "magic" research into a gateway for otherworldly demons. (Spectre Annual #1).
Later in 1940, Fate watched the unfolding events in Nazi Germany from
his tower in Salem.
This is where Dr. Fate is current timeline for W.W.II universe.
