Combining Constantine's dark magic and Fate's holy powers. John is basically a god now

[@eddychaosofpain244]

Like spawn get hell powers and god powers

[@JoshSweetvale]

Constantine is all skill, no battery. The Fate artefact is all oomph, a giant divinely-ordained spout of magic. It's even more overpowered than it sounds. Thankfully the reality is that Constantine is Chaotic Good and Fate (Nabu) is fanatically Lawful Good. This shit doesn't happen outside of a crisis, 'cuz they'd kill eachother (soul destruction, mind control) if left alone for 30 seconds.

[@benjaminbierley2074]

​@@JoshSweetvale That was my first thought, Nabu takes one look in Constantine's mind and immediately goes "F- this Sh- I'm out!" XD

Not really. CW-Constantine, infact the entire New DC version is a watered down version of the superior 'Vertigo' era-Constantine. Vertigo-era still pretty hardcore, because it's a horror-comic, unbound to conventional restrictions that the main DC have.

[@donpula6349]

True. You should know about him. Though his soul was damned, but his heart was noble with a fiery spirit. He might be a bastard in the outside, but he's soft in the inside. He's a hidden humanitarian. Magic is not his true power. His true power is his brain. His brain is a weapon of choice. He always depend on his wits before using weapons, rituals or magic. Magic is his secondary, if you know the original Hellblazer not the 52-New 52. John Constantine is another brainy character like Batman. He is witty, cunning & well-sophisticated. A brilliant tactician & master manipulator, but his methods however are kind of nastier. A real nasty piece of work. That is why he manipulated & fooled Nabu (Dr. Fate) before he'll get the Helmet. And that is why he is my other favorite character after Batman.

[@donpula6349]

He is feared by all from both ally or foe alike.
