All versions of Doctor Fate use the Helm of Nabu/Helmet of Fate (which lets Nabu's spirit possess or advise the wearer and grants the wearer magical knowledge on its own without Nabu's spirit), the Amulet of Anubis (which houses the souls of all previous Doctor Fates and the Lords of Order in their original energy forms), and the Cloak of Destiny.
The Helm of Nabu/Helmet of Fate grants the wearer various magical abilities, including super-strength, spell-casting, telepathy, the ability to convert matter into energy, the ability to convert energy into matter, elemental control (such as wind manipulation, fire projection, and lightning projection), telekinesis, invulnerability, immortality, flight, magnetism, light/energy projection, intangibility, energy absorption, invisibility, darkness manipulation, creating solid objects, visions of people's fates, and the ability to transfer their powers to someone else. However, the wearer is unable to counteract spells that have already been cast and in effect. Without the Helm, the wearer loses all of their abilities except for their flight, super-strength, invulnerability, and telekinesis. The Helm also instantly clads the wearer in Doctor Fate's costume and vestments, including the amulet and cloak.

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“For human nature, being more highly pitched, selved, and distinctive than anything in the world, can have been developed, evolved, condensed, from the vastness of the world not anyhow or by the working of common powers but only by one of finer or higher pitch and determination than itself.”
—Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
“Who can measure the advantages that would result if the magnificent abilities of these women could be devoted to the needs of government, society and home, instead of being consumed in the struggle to obtain their birthright of individual freedom? Until this be gained we can never know, we can not even prophesy the capacity and power of women for the uplifting of humanity.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
