10 Most Powerful DC Heroes Of All Time

Using the combined power of the helmet of Nabu, the cloak of Destiny, and the amulet of Anubis, mild mannered Kent Nelson is able to harness the powers of the Lords of Order and become Dr. Fate.

Dr. Fate not only has the distinction of being one the most powerful magic users in all of DC, but he is also one of the publisher’s oldest characters, debuting shortly after Superman and Batman in 1940. His ancient artefacts are imbued with mystical power that date back before the dawn of time. Using these artefacts, Fate works alongside the Lords of Order to maintain a cosmic balance in the universe.

In one of his earliest adventures, he was able to fend off both Superman and Martian Manhunter, who were both being brainwashed by Darkseid. He also broke Darkseid’s control over the heroes and saved the day. His mastery of the mystic arts allows him to fly, become intangible, and teleport across large distances.

Fate can manipulate fire, ice, lightning, and wind, and has the ability to travel through time, and between universes. He can also create constructs out of pure magical energy, turn invisible, and cast illusions, making him a formidable adversary to anyone who dares challenge him.
