Steph, you mean Dr. Fate? Because if I try to explain that character, I'm going to get all kinds of confused, as I don't know which version they're using for JLU. Though the current continuity comics Dr. Fate would be hanging with Hawkgirl because she's his mother reincarnated, and also his cousin. Oh, and Current Comics Dr. Fate is Hector Hall, who you may remember from Sandman as the deceased husband of Lyta Hall, father of Daniel, he who is now Dream of the Endless.
You've got my support. Just think of me as...as your... You know, I'm searching for 'supportive things' and I'm coming up all bras.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The animation version of whats-his-name. He originally made an appearance on Superman: The Animated Series.

Well what can you expect from 60+ years of retconning?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Another connection between Hawkgirl and Dr. Fate (at least in some of their incarnations) is that they're both originally archeologists.
But in brief, Steph, Dr. Fate is the #1 Magic guy in the DCverse. Parallel to Dr. Strange. Plus he always just looked cool.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

And from the looks of it, that's the original Dr. Fate--Kent Nelson--before all the continuity weirdness. He's much simpler to su up: bad-ass sorcerer superhero.

Yeah, but Hector's more fun, in a Darla or Connor kind of way.

Eh. If you say so. I was OK with Hector until they brought Lyta back, undoing anything interesting that had been done with her in the Vertigo stories.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Okay, now I'm confused. Didn't Hector *die* in Sandman?
