Doctor Fate, in 1920, archaeologist Sven Nelson and his son Kent go on an expedition to the Valley of Ur. While exploring a temple discovered by his father, Kent opens the tomb of Nabu the Wise and revives him from suspended animation, accidentally releasing a poisonous gas which kills Sven. Nabu takes pity on Kent and teaches him the skills of a sorcerer over the next twenty years before giving him a mystical helmet, amulet & cloak. In 1940, Kent meets Inza Cramer and Wotan in Alexandria, Egypt on his way back to America. After arriving back in the United States, Kent begins a career fighting crime and supernatural evil as the sorcerer and superhero Doctor Fate and sets up a base in a tower in Salem, Massachusetts.

He is a founding member of the Justice Society and later, after Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985, a member of the Justice League. Since his creation by Gardner Fox in 1940, there have been several incarnations of Doctor Fate, most of which share genetics with Kent Nelson, the original Doctor Fate, as either grandnephews or other relatives.

Elongated Man


Forgotten Justice League members:

The cinematic debut of The Justice League is in 31 days, and to countdown let's take a look at members of the Justice League most have forgotten or never knew about.

The Elongated Man was another John Broome & Carmine Infantino creation first appearing in Flash issue 112 in 1960. He was created as a supporting character for The Flash (and will make his live action television debut this season on the CW's series, The Flash) and eventually married & gave up his secret identity. The character was moved as a back up story for Detective Comics and made out to be a detective himself, searching for odd cases around the country with his wife, Sue. He would encounter other superheroes and eventually joined the Justice League and would feature in their monthly stories from 1973 to the mid 1990s.

In story, Ralph Dibny was fascinated with sideshow contortionists & discovered a drink all popular & successful contortionists used, gringold which using his chemistry skills he turned into a potion which gave his elasticity like Plastic Man or Marvel's Mister Fantastic from the Fantastic Four. He was the first DC Silver Age hero to marry his love interest & to give up his secret identity.

In 2004, DC's Identity Crisis story was framed around the murder of Sue Dibny, the Elongated Man's wife. The murder ends up revealing a soap opera type story involving magically removing memories from super Villians & the morality of such, along with ins and outs that finds Ralph trapped in a plot to resurrect his dead wife & the magical villain Doctor Faust, running into DC's 52 series which ends with Ralph's own death, trapping Faust and reuniting him with his wife as ghosts investigating the supernatural realm.

Red Tornado #JusticeLeague 
Forgotten Justice League members:

The cinematic debut of The Justice League is in 32 days, and to countdown let's take a look at members of the Justice League most have forgotten or never knew about. 

The name Red Tornado was originally used in the Golden Age of comics but writer Gardner Fox (longtime comic writer that helped form the myth is of Batman as an early writer for the character & whom created the concept of a multiverse with the very first Earth-2 story "The Flash of Two Worlds") reused the name for a brand new character, a sentient android with wind based powers that allowed it to fly & create powerful tornados out of its hands. 

In story, Red Tornado was created by intelligent super villain Thomas Oscar Morrow (T.O. Morrow...tomorrow? Get it?) to act as a Trojan Horse of sorts to infiltrate the Earth-2 Justice Society of America. Red Tornado eventually breaks the evil programming and becomes a full member of the JSA. Red Tornado eventually emigrated to Earth-1 and joins the Justice League of America. He assumes a human identity to learn more about humanity, as John Smith, becoming a teacher when not fighting to save the Earth or Universe. He is constantly being destroyed & coming back in new android bodies or having his programming corrupted by his creator or others.

First appearing in Justice League of America issue 64 in August of 1968, the popular character would get their own monthly title and figure into many of the top stories of each decade since, however since the Flashpoint and New-52 comic events he has been absent. A new Red Tornado has appeared on the new Earth-2 that is a feminine android that houses the consciousnesses of Lois Lane.
