How’d this list get to 30 entries with no mention of Doctor Manhattan?

Occult was cool. Don’t I remember that he shared his body/time with Rose?

If Bill Cosby can get an honorary Ph.D, why couldn’t a guy who built a time machine?

My votes for favorite doctors go to (no particular order):
Doctor Doom (Is there a better villain in the house? I think not!)
Doctor Octopus (Doc Ock man! Nuff said!)
Doctor Strange (Ditko’s best work)
Doctor Midnite (the original)
Doctor Robot (from Bernie Mireault)
Doctor Stearn (Mr.Monster!)
Doctor Solar (Gold Key’s first original hero!)

BUT, seeing as you like to promote some of the weirdest ideas in the business, for sure, you are going to go for Doctor Bong (from Howard the Duck), Doctor Strangefate (Amalgam), Doctor Weird (by Starlin), Doc Savage?, Doctor Giggles?… and maybe even:
Doctor Anthony King, Hollywood Love Doctor! (look it up!)

Dr. Mid-nite (though I prefer the new one)

And the Doctor Occult one-shot above was done by the same guys who did ‘Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children’, one of those weird-but-good series DC published in the late 80s that was ahead of its time. If they’d done that just two years later, I think it could have really taken off. The comic where Satan explains how he wound up in Hell was just excellent.

I would like to see Dr. Midnite, Dr. Thirteen and, of course, comics top villian (IMHO) Dr. Doom!

Best,
Hunter (Pedro BouÃ§a)

Funny coincidence, just a few hours ago I was playing a game of Hit or Miss, which is a scattergories type of game where you make a list of things based on a clue and get points by comparing lists with everyone else. The clue was “Doctor ___.” It was a good one for me – Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange, Doctor Who… Didn’t think of Doctor Mid-Nite, though(hey, I only had about thirty seconds).

I gotta vote for Dr. Fate. My favorite “Doctor” character and one with a reaaally long history in comics that would make for a good write-up.

“If Dr. Bong does get profiled, donâ€™t forget about his two-issue stint on Deadpool, where he tries to figure out what makes Wade Wilson crazy. Wellâ€¦crazier.”

Dr. Bong – possibly the only villain to kidnap a woman, force her to marry him, and then have her nag him for marital duties (and then have it turn out he’s so good she doesn’t mind being there!)
Thinking about that just makes me want a whole week about Beverly.
Easily the greatest female side kick ever created.

Not one mention of the fact that Dr. Occult looks EXACTLY like Dick Tracy? At least in the first picture of the post.

One more vote for the Crime Doctor, though. As a DC neophyte, his appearance in BoP had me intrigued. Has he always had those glasses?

I actually first encountered Dr. Occult VERY early in my comic book reading, through his appearance in Action Comics right after the Reign of the Supermen ended. It was he who explained to Superman all the circumstances that had allowed him to come back to life.

After skipping Driq, I’m thinking your Doctor week NEEDS to include the original Dr Mid-Nite.

If I were doing this I would also include Dr. Forklift, the Cyborg Centaur from a 70′s Plasticman comic–one of all time favorite comic book villains.

And I guess Doc Ock would put in an appearance…
