Dr. Strange : human borrows gods' powers Dr. Fate : god borrows human's body

[@UniversalMushroom]

Lol

[@oVoxxy]

He’s actually not a god he was vandall savages son and he died while helping savage defend their kingdom then became a lord of order but that’s nabu the soul that takes over peoples body when they wear his helmet the actual people are just normal people

[@UniversalMushroom]

@@oVoxxy no, idk what you read but nabu is a actual god i dobt even have to explain why but if you want to know why look it up. I swear ppl dont know the difference between a god and a regular human. Nabu is basically the god of magic. Back up your claim before you say anything

[@sayansaha155]

@@UniversalMushroom me too. I like dc and Marvel because of their potrayal of superheroes. Or heroes in general. In dc the super hero is almost a mystical being, a pedastal god. Even if they themselves don't want to be such. Dc also has surprisingly good humanised heroes. Marvel on the other hand excels in the human aspect of heroes. That no matter how strong or prepared or great you are there is a chance you'll fail. That even after all the good you do you won't have a happy ending. It's all about the human. I'm not saying dc doesn't show humanised heroes, but Marvel does it better. Marvel had better time to compose themselves. Dc has been running since the 40s And it eas mainly created to give birth to larger than life heroes. People of that time needed that.

Based on the history Dr. Fate could be a man or woman or both at the same time. Whenever the actor they cast decides to stop playing the role the studio could easily recast the role and it could be part of the character.

Fate is so underrated.. maybe because this costume resemble supermans. The should get him a new suit, since he is one of the big guns who could take down superman, darkseid and beings like that!
