Biography
Kent V. Nelson was a male human who came to live in the modern age on the planet Earth. By adulthood, he came to be married where he had a wife and a daughter. At some point, he worked as a psychiatrist with a well-heeled practice and recognition in the community where he taught an annual seminar at the university. During this time, he came to be involved in an affair with a university student. It was his reckless actions that led to leave evidence of his affairs with his wife learning of his actions. In response, she came to leave him and took their daughter with her. Afterwards, Kent came to fall into depression where he was barely able to care about his patients any more. He pretended he was listening, faked giving them his attention, but even that began to fail eventually. One of Kent's patients, a man who claimed he was being tormented by an unearthly creature, had a psychotic episode, driving his car along the Las Vegas Strip, running people down. Thirteen died, and many more were injured. Kent, aware he'd failed the man, used his family gift, the ability to see into others' minds, to find out what had driven him to it. What Kent saw shook him so badly, he shut the memory out, trying desperately to forget it. Kent was blamed for the deaths, standing by and doing nothing when his patient went off his meds. He was sued by the victims' families for negligence and wrongful claims - and by his patient's family for malpractice. He lost his house and his job. His wife divorced him, and his lover left him. Several months later, Kent had ended up a derelict on the streets, taking part in bumfight videos for money. After being left in a dumpster to 'sleep off' his second fight, he fumbled around for something he could use to cover himself against the storm overhead. He found the Helmet of Fate, which had landed in the dumpster after traveling through the realms of existence. Thinking only of how he could use it to cover his head, Kent put it on - only to find the Helmet taking him on a mental tour of its recent past, from the end of the Day of Vengeance onwards, after Captain Marvel had hurled it into space. Then, much against Kent's will, it took him on a tour of his own recent past. (Countdown to Mystery v1 #1)
