(Spectre II #14 (fb)) -<1300 BC> Nabu served as court magician to the Egyptian pharaohs, seeing Egypt as a beacon of order in a world of chaos. Nabu cautioned the pharaoh against his harsh treatment of the Jews, whom he'd made into slaves, but Ramses heart was hard, and had every male Jewish child drowned to reduce their population. Nabu was aghast, but knew fate had determined the course of events. Spectre, the Wrath of God, claimed the pharaoh's life, and even Nabu was not powerful enough to drive him away. Young Ramses became the new ruler of Egypt, and Nabu again caution restraint. Moses came with a message from his god, and demanded the Jews be freed, but Ramses refused. Nabu engaged in a contest of magic with Moses and lost. The Presence caused plagues to torment Egypt, but every time Ramses was ready to relent, his heart hardened and he refused to free the Jews. The Phantom Stranger informed Nabu that the final plague was the death of the Egyptian firstborn, and warned him that the murders would be carried out by the Spectre, so he was not to interfere in God's work. Nabu could not stand idly by, and fought the Spectre again, but was humbled. Ramses released the Jews from enslavement, but as Moses and his people were leaving the pharaoh gathered his troops and pursued them. Moses had parted the nile for his people to pass, and when they were safe the Spectre drowned the Egyptians.

(JSA #74) -  Nabu tried to regain control over Dr. Fate, asking to be let out to deal with the Spectre-Force, who attacked Fate s Tower in his crusade to destroy all magic. Fate resisted Nabu, but ended up trapped in his own helm by the Spectre.

(JSA #78-80) - The JSA came to Fate s Tower looking for Dr. Fate, but only found his helm. Sand put on the helm, awakening Nabu who took possession of Sand. Nabu told them Spectre did something to Fate, but he didn't know what. He opened a portal to the 5th Dimension so the JSA could rescue J.J. Thunder. Only Hourman, Terrific and Stargirl made it through before Mordru attacked the rest of the JSA, breaking Nabu s concentration and sealing the portal. Mordru defeated the JSAers and crushed Fate s helm. Nabu repaired and animated the helm, manifesting his power without a human host for the first time ever, and told Mordru it was time to settle their conflict. During their battle Nabu shunted them to several hypertimelines, showing Mordru he existed in none of them, declaring this to be proof of his power s limits. Nabu weakened Mordru, and when the JSA returned with J.J. he was able to summon the Thunderbolt and banish Mordru. Nabu sense a coming crisis of infinite proportions, and left to warn others about it.
