Powers and Abilities:

As Doctor Fate, Inza could perform almost any feat from bringing back the dead to turning a whole room of politicians into frogs. Inza originally received her power from a Lord of Chaos but later joined with Kent Nelson to become the one true fate. The merging between Kent and Inza allowed them receive their power from a different source. This source was every sentient being on Earth, the power of the human spirit allowed this Dr. Fate to revival the golden age version. However in recent events in Fate, it appears that Nabu was controlling them when they merged to become Dr. Fate. When Inza was Dr. Fate the helmet looked more feminine because of the new host. However when Inza and Kent merge to become Dr. Fate, all they needed to do was touch to become one of the most powerful entities on earth. Inza Nelson is immortal and had the powers to leave the tower of Salem at any given time.

Weaknesses/Limitations:

 None Known.

Background:

In 1940, Inza Cramer was a student of Columbia University who visited Egypt. She was captured by Wotan, but rescued by Doctor Fate. She and Fate became romantically involved, and Fate revealed his secret identity to her. After World War II Kent and Inza married and she took up residence in Fate's tower in Salem. During the modern heroic age, Inza would become jealous of Doctor Fate as she would lose her husband to him for unknown amounts of time. However, after she, Kent, and Nabu joined together to become Fate, she came to realize what it meant to be Doctor Fate. When the Kali Yuga came, Inza lost her immortality and committed suicide, but Nabu captured her spirit and placed her in the Amulet of Anubis. There, she and Kent lived in what they believed to be the afterlife. However, when Jack C. Small and Petey came looking for the original Doctor Fate, their time in heaven was over. Nabu gave Kent and Inza one final gift and brought them back to Earth. Their new bodies were youthful and they were both ready to become Doctor Fate again. Originally the Lords of Order meant for Doctor Fate to be man and woman, and sent Nabu to find a female and male host for Doctor Fate, but Nabu craved power and control. However, a Lord of Chaos intercepted the melding between Inza & Kent and only allowed Inza to become Fate. Inza became a hero of the people, solving everyday problems as well as facing the usual superheroic menaces. She made her identity as Doctor Fate public and eventually the U.S. Senate called her up. Angered at their comments, she turned all of them into frogs, but later reversed this. Eventually the Lord of Chaos who gave Inza her powers appeared and told her the truth. She soon realized that although her powers once came from the Lord of Chaos, they were now coming from the people of Earth. Thus Kent and herself could merge to become the one true Doctor Fate.

Note:

  • Without the helmet, Inza Nelson is an ordinary mortal. Without a mortal host, Fate cannot visit the earthly plane. However the Inza/Kent Dr. Fate needed each others presence to become the being Doctor Fate.
