Dark Age

Events taking place during the "Dark Age", where most vigilante heroes had retired. Late Cold War, and Gulf Wars. (1980s-2001)

  • Crisis. Shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union, an incident claims the lives of several members of the Justice Society of America (JSA), including Hawkwoman and Kent Nelson. The Vigilante Regulation Act (VRA) is subsequently signed into law in June 1989, officially disbanding the JSA and prohibiting future costumed vigilantes. Most of the former Justice Society members retire, either voluntarily or under duress. Checkmate is formed in secret by a mix of government agents and former JSA members, to continue their mission in a covert fashion, outside of legal channels. (1989)
  • 9/11. Several acts of metahuman terrorism kill or injure thousands of American citizens, despite efforts by illegal vigilantes to intervene. The death of Dove, a vigilante killed in the incident, leads his brother Hector Hall to approach Nabu and offer to become the new host of Doctor Fate, in the hopes of some sort of retaliation. Having been powerless to act for over a decade - since the death of Kent Nelson - however, and citing his absence as the reason the attacks could not have been foreseen and prevented, Nabu refuses to allow Hector to ever remove the helmet, effectively hijacking his body as a vessel. This causes a rift between Doctor Fate and Hector's father, his former Justice Society comrade Carter Hall; and the loss of both brothers drives Dove's twin Hank Hall into retirement. (2001)
