Fate Summoning Servant's

I've been wondering about this while re-watching the whole fate series but when summoning servant's you can specify the servant's type/origin if you have something that he/she owns originally or something of a catalyst right? So why does nobody summon's a servant that is actually powerful in the Age of Man where modern tech has progressed or already visible except in F/GO?

 

Like who?

 

Uhh Sherlock Holmes and Nobunaga if I remember...

 

I would go with Tesla, but even that is not a strong pick if you actually know how powerful the people from the age of Gods are.

 

I know that in the Age of the Gods most of their abilities f#cks up almost all or even all of the laws we have today but still won't a servant who's powers actually follows the principles "The Age of Man" works actually be more powerful than a servant who use "The Laws of Mysteries"?

 

That's interesting. You could actually summon the superheroes from Marvel, DC etc. OR OR OR YOU CAN PICK CHUCK NORRIS. They'd probably be nerfed a little. But there is not much lore regarding them. I mean the characters in Fate are deeply rooted in history and fantasy. So I don't think they'd be good in the story.

 

What are you talking about? I mean not all "the laws of misteries" can be reproduce by science right

 

Actually i believe the superheroes in modern films,comics,manga,etc. will be more powerful due to this list of reasons:
1.) They have a much bigger audience(8+ billion people globally)
2.) They have a more solid plot(Olden heroes most exploints are exagerated,missing some info, or just practically forgotten)
3.) They might be even powerful due to most heroe's abilities borders reality and fiction(most heroes remember that their powers can be explained by science or possible in reality)

 

That's Ive been wondering if a servant who's abilities is deeply connected to the principles of "The Age of Man" won't it be more powerful than a servant who's powers seems regecting the current laws and why did they not summon them instead but stick to the servants who are powerful but greatly revamped due to breaking a lot of laws...

 

I've never really gotten into Fate, but isnt the prerequisite for summoning be, to have existed at one point? In Anime view.

So since Superman is just a dude on paper, dont think that works.

 

Then did Sherlock actually existed at one point? Nursery Rhime too?

 

Not really. Might have really existed, might not. The servant would have to be rooted in mythology, which is actually the old school fantasy. So the superheroes are fair game.

 

The pre requisites for a servant will generally be figures in myths and history. However as you said, nursery rhyme and Holmes are a few exceptions. It's mainly based on which char can rake in the most cash.

Superman and many other Heroes wouldn't work cause, copyright.

 

I believe it's because the older the legend of the servant is, the stronger they are. I mean look at Gilgamesh, the strongest servant in the lore as he is also one of the oldest.

 

So wait copyright is actually the thing that's supressing them from turning into servants!!!

 

If were talking about Fate Universe things, Holmes is based on people in history. An amalgamation given form.

Superman was straight up just pure fiction.

 

I believe Gilgamesh is actually considered the strongest due to him written in the lore that he was the litteral culmination of the Gods wish to preserve or something and it actually back-fired cause Gil-kun did not follow the rules as always...

 

Actually I don't think those superheroes exist in the world of nasuverse...

 

Hey Sherlock is actually a chara in a novel ya know I believe the dudes who took the names of Sherlock later are actually just actors I pressume?

 

Well that might be the case, but I think I've read somewhere that the older their legend is the stronger they are.
