The metaphorical personification of Death has many names, including "Taker of Lives," "Destiny" and Fate.
History
Instances of Fate's personal manifestations in the material world are few, and ill-reported. It is known that the famous magician El Carim encountered Fate twice, in 1942. In their first meeting, they gambled against each other,[1] and in their second, Fate asked for El Carim's help.[2]

Notes
- This version of Fate (Earth-S), including all history and corresponding appearances, was erased from existence following the collapse of the original Multiverse in the 1985–86 Crisis on Infinite Earths event and later restored following the rebirth of the infinite Multiverse during the Dark Crisis of 2022-2023. Even though other versions of the character may have appeared, this information does not apply to those versions.
