"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.

The animation version of whats-his-name. He originally made an appearance on Superman: The Animated Series.

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.

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

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?

Yep.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Didn't Hector *die* in Sandman?

You say that as if it were some kind of permanent thing.

Actually, he died in Incfinity, Inc.. He was a ghost in Sandman, and Morpheus banished him.

However, in JSA, Hector Hall was reincarnated as the new Dr. Fate. Remember, he's the child of the golden age Hawkman and Hawkwoman, and the whole family has been being reincarnated since ancient Egypt.

Now Lyta's back as Fury, which pretty much puts her back to where she was before Gaiman got his hands on her, and the two of them have been snoozingly dull, ever since.

If HH is a Hawkchild where are his wings?

None of the various Hawkmans--Golden ages reincarnated Egyptian King version or silver age alien cop version--had wings of their own. Both use devices.
