Huh. It turns out that Dr. Strange is a doctor.
Dude! I just said that. Yeah, he was an asshole surgeon.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

I think the original Dr. Fate had a doctorate in Archaeology. So, apologies to Ross Geller, but not a real doctor.

Both of Marvel's best-known Hanks, McCoy and Pym, are docs. Pym's primary focus is in Mad Science, Etc. but he knows his medical stuff too. The late Moira McTaggart probably doesn't count 'coz she was never really a superhero, but there she is too. Dr. Curt Connors was a doctor as well as a geneticist before (and for periods of time, after) he became the Lizard.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Dr. Niles Calder, aka the Chief, head of the Doom Patrol is a surgeon.
Both of Marvel's best-known Hanks, McCoy and Pym, are docs.
PhDs, though, not MDs.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
According to this, Hank Pym and Hank McCoy aren't doctors, they're biochemists.
The site also lists Doc Samson as a psychiatrist, so yeah, MD.

Cecilia Reyes, who was an X-Man for all of five minutes and had the force field power, was an ER doc. I don't know if she ever bothered to get a codename. Heather Hudson of Alpha Flight too.
ETA: Re: Beast and others, are we talking only about people who are actual MDs? True, McCoy's a biochemist, but he's actually done a lot of MD work for the team, since they're all getting beat to hell all the time. When it comes to superheroes, anyone with a working knowledge of anatomy tends to pull doctor duty

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I'm gonna have to look in my "Death of Captain Marvel," because it has a bunch of them in there.

Thank you all!
Any SO's besides Dr. MacTaggert?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Is Dr. Mid-Nite an actual doctor?
Yes. All incarnations of Dr. Mid-Nite have been medical doctors, even the short-lived Infinity Inc. version.

Art Crawl!!!
In TT: who is Rose ? Is she Deathstroke's daughter?
Also, I agree that the timeline in Robin is all frelled. I choose to ignore it.
And huh, magic in BoP. Also - ack voice mail messages!!! Argh!!!
What's up with that Mr. Freeze story in GK? Are they just biding time. I should have picked up Catwoman instead!
