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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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!

Chuck Dixon - Dixon is good at doing a solid backstory, and is responsible in a HUGE way for where the Batfam was at pre-War Games. However, he lacks a certain edge, and his work can be deathly dull at times as a result. His best work has been in his co-written Year Ones, as he's bolder when working in the past than when working with anything that might affect the future. Also, occasionally, his conservative values slip shows. But Daddy Dixon built a lot of the toys in the playbox, and I've gotta hand it to him, the construction's great.

Greg Rucka - generally brill. Mmm. Rucka. Sadly, married to someone other than me.

Devin Grayson - tremendous ability to work previous characterization into an arc, and a real respect for fans and for the existing canon. Falls down when rushed, however, and has yet to produce a Perfect Stand Alone Issue.

Bill Willingham - should not be allowed near superhero comics on pain of death. He doesn't like them, doesn't read them, has been quoted as saying he hadn't READ Robin before he started writing it, and has no respect for shared playgrounds and toyboxes. Also, little respect for fans. He can go fuck off and masturbate to Fables or something, just keep him off of my fucking pulls.

Jeph Loeb - when the crack is good, it's great, but when the crack is bad, Loeb makes NO SENSE. Uneven, and doesn't write women well.

Geoff Johns - solid. Productive. Good, and occasionally exceptional.

Ed Brubaker - up there with Rucka. Fantastic writer, great with characters, able to take a standard issue story and spin it into gold.

Anderson Gabrych - cutest ass in comics! Uneven, because he's still new at this, and his Big Gay Fanboy slip shows at times. Occasionally prone to anvils, but with a lot of potential. He's still young and wet behind the ears, but he genuinely likes writing women, and is pretty flipping good at it.

Judd Winick - I suspect he's sloppy when rushed, and that his earnest SF Liberal Self occasionally has a desire to put Statement over Story. However, his big strength is characterization, and his SFLS doesn't escape the bounds too often. NEEDS to write more Barry Ween, damn him.

Gail Simone - totally needs to call me. I mean, umm. What is there to say about her? She can do arcs, she can do one-offs, she can take a mess made by others and turn it into something wonderful. She can do drama, but she's also got a fabulous sly wit. Reading Gail Simone is like watching really good Buffy. Of course, she writes the book I love best, so I'm probably biased.

Grant Morrison - entertaining crackmonkey.
