In honor of my finishing my doctorate -- and having a super villain name in Doctor Klock -- here is a list of fictional characters that go by Doctor or Professor. The list is from comicbookdb.com. I would also add to the list Dr. Dre (yeah, I know he is not fictional, but still, I am putting him on the list), Doctor Who, Doctor Claw and Matt Fraction's Dokkktor Klockhammer (who makes his first, and probably last, appearance tomorrow). Also Alan Moore, when he was slumming with Rob Liefeld in the 90s gave us a very brief glimpse of an old superhero team Youngblood fought (or an older version of Youngblood fought) which included a character called Dr. Clock (who had a cape, and a clock for a head); this is, oddly, also the name of Heather Graham's character on Scrubs. I have put the standouts, just in terms of cool names, in italics.

Another one from when Alan Moore was writing the Liefeld characters, one we never saw but whose name was kind of neat: "Doctor Nocturne."
Oh! And in 1963, Moore's Fantastic Four pastiche, "Mystery, Inc.", made mention of (but, again, never showed) their Doctor Doom analogue: "Doc Apocalypse."
Congratulations on finishing your doctorate, Geoff!
Congratulations on your Doctorate, Doc. That said, no Italics for Doctor No?! Really?
That character's monologue in the original Fleming text (he became a Doctor to make his father proud . . . and took the name 'No' so he'd never forget to hate him!!!!') is essential reading for all would-be supervillains.
Also, wherefore art Dr. Morbius, the Freudian mad scientist from FORBIDDEN PLANET?!!!
Don't forget Dr. Octogon.
Oh, and Doctor Orpheus from the Venture Brothers. Sara LOVES the relationship between him and his teenage daughter on that show.
By far my favorite on that list is Professor Nutjob.
Who the hell is Doctor 13, the Ghost-Breaker? I am not sure he shouldn't have been in bold as well as italics.
Terry Thirteen, the Professional Skeptic! Great idea for an occult character.
There's also Dr. House, as played by Hugh Laurie -- who in 2008 will appear in a film called "The Night Watchman."
He's on a reverse trajectory from you, Geoff!
