I have what I think are some interesting questions about Dr. Fate/Nabu.

1) What does Dr. Fate think about a gulag state like North Korea? It is very ORDERED. Does he think a state like that is a good thing or a bad thing, or does he just not care?

2) Likewise, what does he think about chaos within the human realm. For example, wars are very chaotic, so they can't be something a lord of order would approve of. What does Nabu think about human wars? Would he see it as his role to intervene in one?

3) Does Nabu actually care about human life or just maintaining order?

4) Finally, does Nabu care about order and disorder among humans at all? Or, does he just care about supernatural threats to the natural order of the universe - like Klarion?

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.

1. He has a more sophisticated view of order than that.

2. Humans are messy. He knows that, which is why he's not impressed with them. But policing them is not his gig. His job is to hold the line magically against the forces of Chaos, like Klarion.

3. Those aren't mutually exclusive. And keep in mind, there's a human host in the mix.

4. See above. Caring about them and seeing it as his responsibility to fix are two different things.
