Look closer we did and it appears that the artificat behind Doctor Fate's helmet is none other than the
Ibistick, a magicial wand that belongs to
Ibis the Invincible. You're probably scratching your head as to who this is but the character himself isn't what's most exciting about this easter egg. It's his connection to Fawcett City and Shazam (Captain Marvel) which should have comic book fans buzzing. Ibis and "Shazam" had many Golden Age adventures protecting Fawcett City from the likes of King Kull, The Shade and other Golden Age Fawcett Comics villains. Ibis was even a member of Shazam's Squadron of Justice, a team that included Captain Marvel, Spy Smasher, Ibis, Bulletman and Bulletgirl and Mister Scarlet.
Whether the Ibistick leads to something substantial or it's just a fun easter egg remains to be seen. We'll all have to find out this Fall when Constantine premieres on NBC, Friday, October 24th at 10PM.
