Appearance

Advanced in years yet still thickly built, the Doctor keeps his eyes hidden behind dark-framed glasses. A compact white afro sits above a bushy white mustache. His wardrobe holds to pale tones, a light singlet paired with matching trousers, finished off by a dark bow tie knotted at the collar.

Personality

Little of his temperament has surfaced on the page, though he reads as a no-nonsense sort who speaks plainly and takes matters seriously. What is clear is his standing inside the group, whose members treat his opinions as worth heeding and lean on him as their resident intellect.

History

During the Monster Association campaign, the Doctor waits at the Hero Association Hospital while Tanktop Master and Mumen Rider set out for Z-City. He tells the gathered fighters that their leader dons his singlet for a meaningful reason, a hint to follow the man, and the speech rallies everyone into pursuit. Reaching the ruins of Z-City Ghost Town, he joins the rescue effort, dragging survivors from collapsed debris and loading them onto a waiting helicopter. Later he and his brethren corner a battered Garou and pile on until Zombieman calls for a halt to question the Hero Hunter, with King's timely arrival finally sparing Garou from the mob. His absence from a following tanktop gathering signals that he has hung up his hero work for good. Like the rest of the army, he favors bare-fisted, close-quarters brawling.
