Khalid Ben-Hassin / Doctor Fate I (Earth 2)

Sorcerer. Vessel of Nabu. Bearer of the Helmet of Fate. Archaeologist & Occult Expert. Ambassador of the World Army & one of the Wonders of the World

Note: He is among one of the many DC PoC who has been subjected to white-washing in terms of his skin color. Furthermore, even official sources like DC Character Encyclopedia & the official DC website uses his likeness in place for KENT NELSON despite being the difference in ethic background & being more or less the progenitor of the Khalid Nassour character.

Lady Chian of House Hoshun (Pre & Post Flashpoint)

One of the 3 Greatest Warriors of Ancient Atlantis. Captain of the Atlantean Royal Guard under D’Tilluh & Arion. Queen of Atlantis & Wife to Arion. Former Mercenary & Slave.

Fun fact: According to her creator, she is an example of a non-magically powered Homo Magi. (source)

Note:

The unspecific PoC tag is used because while she has features & a backstory suggesting Asian (Japanese) heritage, she & her people predate both the formation of Asia (they reside in a city-state in Atlantis) & are technically non-magically powered Homo Magi (humans in her time frame are cave men & referred to as sub-human).

The character’s YJ incarnation & portrayal possess xenophobic behavior in which said characterization was never present in her original source material.
