Y'know, Dr Strange is one of the few comic book characters with Doctor in their codename that is actually a doctor.

I don't think Doctor Fate is a real doctor.  Doctor Doom might be but Doctor Bong really wasn't.

Quick check suggests Doom was kicked out of his university prior to graduation, so it's possible he doesn't actually have a doctorate. Fairly unlikely, though, what with the whole "rules a country" thing -- I'd be wildly surprised if Latveria didn't have at least one accredited university willing and able to give either an honorary one, or work with him to properly graduate.

Doctor Bong actually canonically achieved a PhD in psychology, so. Doctor Bong really was... though after becoming a supervillain, so he wasn't for a bit but eventually took time off to graduate.

At least one of the Fates probably was, too -- Nelson, at least, was both a physician and archeologist at one point or another, so it's fairly likely he actually did have a doctorate, maybe multiple. There's several doctor fates, though, so it's entirely possible any particular one wasn't.

So are we supposed to figure out who'd win in a fight of Fate VS Destiny because if we are I'll just say that those are some boring names for gladiators.

They're the same thing, so is this like an argument with yourself?

I mean, I don't draw any distinction between fate and destiny... what's the purported difference?

Destiny's a spear you pick up.1

Fate's a loom you spin...

1. destiny, on the other hand, is something you can't put down.

When we getting a Novel thread that has a well constructed idea behind it, or does that defeat the point of the Novel threads?
