Crediting the penname "Omar Tahan," the S. M. Iger Studio may have put writer Ruth Roche[4] with artists Chuck Winter,[5] Paul Cooper,[6] inker Alex Blum, or pencilers Henry C. Kiefer and Matt Baker to originate the character of Kismet, Man of Fate.

Never seen in any civilian attire (i.e. only ever clad in his signature fez, cape, gloves, jodhpurs, and boots), Kismet had no known alter ego or secret identity, yet he was regarded as an official operative of the Allies behind enemy lines.

Following the 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting, Lewis and his creative team produced a short, modern-day story of Kismet, first for GEEKED Magazine online[10] and then reprinted by the Chin-Tanners' A Wave Blue World publishing house as part of a Free Comic Book Day 2017 give-away.

On May 2, 2017, Kismet, Man of Fate began as a weekly online series from A Wave Blue World's "Under Current" line,[11] with Lewis, Tuazon, and Croonenborghs joined by letterer Taylor Esposito.

On November 28, 2018, A Wave Blue World published a print edition entitled Kismet, Man of Fate - Volume 1: Boston Strong, featuring cover art by Natasha Alterici and a Foreword by Laila Alawa.

While fighting off a home invasion, Qisma discovers a fantastic material inside the wall of his house that, when worn as a cape, gives him his split-second glimpses of the future (his "foresense").
