Lists

Don't ask me why, but I make lists. It doesn't really matter of what. My latest one is characters in superhero comic books with a costumed identity that involves the word Doctor, Captain, or Baron.



Doctors
Dr. Doom (Marvel Villain)
Dr. Strange (Marvel Hero)
Dr. Octopus (Marvel Villain)
Dr. Spectrum (Marvel Hero)
Dr. Druid (Marvel Hero)
Dr. Fate (DC Hero)
Dr. Occult (DC Hero)
Dr. Mist (DC Hero)
Dr. Midnight (DC Hero)
Dr. Thirteen (DC Hero)
Dr. Light (DC Hero)
Dr. Destiny (DC Villain)
Dr. Light (DC Villain)
Dr. Diehard (DC Villain)
Dr. Stratos (DC Villain)
Dr. Sivana (Fawcett/ DC Villain)
Dr. Smashi (Fawcett/ DC Villain)
Dr. Arcane (DC Villain)
Dr. Solar, Man Of The Atom (Gold Key/ Valiant/ Acclaim Hero)
Dr. Eclipse (Valiant/ Acclaim Villain)
Dr. Mirage (Valiant/ Acclaim Hero)
Dr. Strangefate (Amalgym Hero)
Dr. Gade, the Invisible Man (Defunct Golden Age Timely Hero)
Dr. Mystic (Defunct Golden Age Hero)
Doc Noble (Image Hero)
Doc Samson (Marvel Hero)


Dr. Arcane and Dr. Thirteen are both kind of cheats to pad out the list. Dr. Thirteen, the ghost-breaker, is not really a superhero. He was the protagonist of horror book where he went around disproving supposed hauntings. He is legitimately an in-continuity part of the DC Universe of superheros and supervillains, though, having appeared in the original Books of Magic miniseries.

Dr. Arcane is the name used for the Swamp Thing's long-time foe Anton Arcane, a doctor, in the children's cartoon series of Swamp Thing that aired in the 1990s. In the comics, he is mostly referred to as simply Anton Arcane.

Please note that although Robert Bruce Banner (The Hulk), Hank Pym (Ant Man/ Giant Man/ Goliath/ Yellowjacket), and Kurt Connors (The Lizard) have at least one PHD, they are inelligeble because their super-identity does not include the word doctor.
