Kent Nelson was the original, given his powers by Nabu and residing in the Tower of Fate in Salem. Eric Strauss was the next chosen champion after Nelson's death, later merging into Fate as a dual entity with his partner Linda Strauss. Inza Cramer, wife of the first Fate, was later given the mantle. Following Zero Hour a new man named Jared Stevens emerged with the power, simply calling himself Fate. Hector Hall, son of Hawkman, took it up during Justice Be Done. Kent V. Nelson, grand-nephew to the original Fate, took the mantle during Countdown to Mystery.
