Science created the atom bomb, it unleashes monsters, it angers the gods — Science Is Bad. As a corollary to this, intelligence in media is often used for evil, or belongs to the Mad Scientist. At least half of the characters in Comic Books whose names begin with "Doctor" are evil. Even the good Doctors are often weird, being prone to mad science, a blind pursuit of forbidden knowledge, or proving their critics wrong. Actual practicing medical doctors are usually exempt from the evil title, probably because it's hard not to get behind a surgeon or doctor who actively works at saving people's lives, even if they're a jerk. Those who aren't in a Medical Drama tend to get less slack on this, though. In a nutshell, it's a mitigating factor, not an exception. (See "Mad Doctor".) Interestingly, "Professors" aren't evil nearly as often as doctors, though Professor Blackhearts are not unheard of; this can be explained by the fact that Professor is associated with teaching, wisdom and a scholarly lifestyle (attributes of The Mentor), whereas Doctor seems to imply hands-on experience. Notably enough, it's actually possible to get a doctorate in the study of evil. The field is called Ponerology, although very few universities actually offer such a degree. Definitely issued by the Academy of Evil. Compare Mad Scientist, which is often synonymous with this, as is Evil Genius. When they're Not That Kind of Doctor, there's overlap with Aristocrats Are Evil, in that the title is an indicator.note Given that The United States eschewed the title system, this may well be their replacement trope. The Dr. Jerk may or may not be this, but is almost always a medical doctor who is a Jerkass. If they had a medical license but lost it due to ethics violations, they had a Doctor's Disgraceful Demotion. If they switch sides in a conflict for pragmatic reasons, they may become Doctor von Turncoat. Dentists and psychiatrists are technically doctors, but see Depraved Dentist and Psycho Psychologist for examples of when they turn evil or insane. And yes, the trope title can be abbreviated as M.A.D. |

Ansem Retort's Dr. Zexion Doreone: A complete and utter Jerkass who once implanted an Oreo in one of his patients for no apparent reason; the Oreo fused with his DNA somehow, so the patient became half-man, half-cookie. He also planted a firecracker in Riku's liver, fashioned a new heart for Riku out of bendy-straws and a Hot Pocket, and replaced another guy's lung with a monkey's ass. Then there's the fact that during his time as Governor, he's been implicated in 5 sex scandals and 3 murder scandals. The only other person on the cast who likes him is Axel, who happens to be a sociopathic serial killer. Everyone else puts up with him only cause he's part of the cast. | |

A recurring gimmick in EMLL, though few were more immediately obvious than El Satánico Dr. No, even if he is usually just referred to as El Satánico. More obvious is "El Galeno Del Mal" Dr. Wagner, and his son. | |

A very subtle example in Joe Versus the Volcano. In the beginning, the protagonist is told by an apparently well-meaning doctor named Dr. Ellison that he has six months to live, due to an incurable condition called a "brain cloud". This is what inspires Joe to accept Graynamore's offer to volunteer as a Human Sacrifice for the natives he wants to make a deal with. It isn't until the final scene of the movie that Patricia tells him that Ellison is actually Graynamore's personal physician, meaning he's was likely lying to set Joe up, making Ellison an immoral violator of the Hippocratic Oath. | |

Choujuu Sentai Liveman had five villains who qualified as this, with the Big Bad being named Great Professor Bias and his human students named Dr. Kemp, Dr. Mazenda, Dr. Obular, and Dr. Ashura; all of the students were once regular human students but have augmented themselves biologically or mechanically as a show of their detatchment from their humanity in their selfish pursuit of power and knowledge. Considering Bias's students most likely got their doctorates from him, they may be almost literal examples. Also, while it isn't in their names, the aliens actually robots Guildos and Butchy probably count, as well. While Bias proves to be irredeemable, Kemp goes insane, and Guildos just dies too early, all of them make Heel Face Turns at some point when they find out what Bias is actually up to; even Kemp at the end is able to rebel against Bias after Megumi's words lead him to a Heel Realization about what he has done and how he regrets everthing. | |

In Recursion, Dr. Deathe is painfully aware of this trope, and insists that her name is pronounced "deeth" in order to avoid it sounding like, in her own words, "some kind of monster". "Doctor Death" would be a good moniker for her, though, since she did once wipe out half the population of Kass in an effort to scare the other half into accepting her species-wide eugenics program. | |

Dr. Faker from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. Actually, he may have a legitimate doctorate, but he's still a Mad Scientist. Or so we think. As it turns out, he's not very mad at all, and is more like a Well-Intentioned Extremist. | |

Doctor Frankenstein: Byronic Hero, obsessive to the point of foolhardy. Victor Frankenstein is a college dropout in the original book. The title is only given to him in later adaptations (as is the title Baron — his family do not hold a barony, and if they did then the title would belong to his father). In the sequels by Dean Koontz, Victor is indeed a doctor. Also, evil. Also, insane. |

In Minamoto-kun Monogatari, Minamoto Kaoruko fancies herself a sociologist, so much that she strives to re-enact the story of Hikaru Genji with her gynophobic nephew, Terumi, and a selected group of her students in university, each one of them with psychological traits similar to those of Genji's conquests and of course, this is not played for salvation or comedy. Needless to say, this screams unethical everywhere, if only for the enormous risk this poses to the fragile psyche of her subjects. | |

Angel's examples run the gamut from fantastical to the creepily mundane, such as Dr. Meltzer, an eye surgeon with animatronic limbs who stalks one of his patients. Though he only appears in one scene, a "Dr. Gregson" is responsible for surgically removing the heart from James in "Heartthrob". This renders James (a vampire who is bent on avenging his lost love) impervious to stake attacks. Gregson uses his medical practice as a cover for his species' custom of collecting rare organs. By and large, trusting anyone with a labcoat in Wolfram & Hart is... not a good idea. |

In Helix, this is Implied of all the research scientists who work at the Arctic Biosystems base. All of them hold the title "Doctor," and come there to take advantage of the opportunity to perform research unencumbered by regulatory agencies. Lead researcher Dr. Hiroshi Hatake openly admits that he encourages his people to "push the envelope." | |

Dr. House: Good, but only because he sees deathly ill patients as big puzzles and can't resist "solving" them: saving lives is viewed as collateral damage; he doesn't bat an eye no matter how bleak the prognosis is. Many of his actions when in the process of treating a patient are incredibly unethical, dangerous, unnecessary, or all of the above, and he makes all his choices based on his own selfish whims, but his seemingly evil actions almost invariably lead to a lifesaving cure for someone who would otherwise have been royally screwed. | |

Dr. Emmerich, Hal's father, was similar. Although a good guy, he did work with nuclear weapons and was involved in a project to create a perfect deterrent. Although he was initially willing to work on the project, it was only because he legitimately believed Coldman when he said that it wouldn't be used even once. Unfortunately, Coldman proved his lying/insane nature when he intended to launch a live nuke to test its retaliation abilities. By the time of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, he's betrayed Big Boss and is initially working for Skull Face to build new weapons, such as Walker Gears and Sahelanthropus. And later in the game, he commits an atrocity by engineering parasites as a bioweapon and releasing them on Mother Base. | |

The Simpsons: Dr. Nick Riviera, aka "Dr. Nick". Not truly evil, but clearly missing a few marbles, something his patients often suffer as a result of. He actually went to medical school (proven by a flashback) but it isn't known if he actually graduated, and while he practices medicine, he uses controversial and often illegal methods. To give some examples, in one episode a hospital review board brings up the accusations against him which include performing surgery with a knife and fork from a seafood restaurant and misuse of cadavers (he had put them in his car in order to use the carpool lane and get to work quicker). In another episode, he is asked to talk to the coroner, and he says, "Ugh, the coroner. I'm so sick of that guy!" suggesting his patients get sent there rather often. (Ironically, this is the episode where Nick does Homer's double bypass surgery, and Nick actually does it right, but Lisa helps him a little.) Dr. Julius Hibbert, post-Flanderization, can also qualify as being weaselly, up to the point where you may argue he's sort of evil. Originally, Hibbert was one of the few competent people in Springfield and often played the role of Only Sane Man, but Hibbert eventually became a doctor who seems to spend more time finding ways to have his patients sign away their right to sue before the inevitable malpractice issue than actually being a quality doctor. And he also profited heavily when all companies in Springfield eliminated their health care programs, forcing people to pay at a premium. Likely his most immoral action (by the standards of Real Life medicine) was approving of an obviously unhealthy eating contest (as it was in a restaurant he held half-ownership of) where one contestant actually died of beef poisoning and then claiming it was caused by another restaurant. That's not even getting into the fact that he obscurely offered to help sell Maggie when Marge revealed she wasn't sure she could afford a third child. A Bait-and-Switch gag implies that he's been practicing medicine without a license, as he's shown gulping nervously when Bart and Lisa start putting out the town's secrets over the radio but ultimately finger Homer. "The Man Who Grew Too Much" reveals that Sideshow Bob has a Ph.D, and uses it to genetically enhance his own DNA, giving himself animal-themed superpowers. |

The Crime Doctor: Evil... depending on the continuity. Pre-Crisis he was moderately evil; a gang boss who still held by his Inconvenient Hippocratic Oath. In Batman: The Animated Series he was good, but pressurized into becoming a mob doctor by his evil brother. Post-Crisis, he's a bona fide Mad Doctor, a serial killer who wears Elton John sunglasses (taken as a trophy from his first victim, a female med student). | |

The classic series likes to play with this. Dr. Wily plays it straight, Dr. Cossack subverts it because he was blackmailed into it by Dr. Wily kidnapping his daughter, and Dr. Light not only outright inverts it, but he serves as Dr. Wily's good counterpart. | |

Blake and Mortimer live and breathe this trope. In rough order of publication; Dr. Sun Fo in The Secret Of The Swordfish. His field of expertise is never specified, and he spends most of the story as a Mouth of Sauron for the Big Bad, Emperor Basam Damdu. Definitely morally ambiguous, though: even State Sec boss Colonel Olrik and his men think he's a snake in the grass. Dr. Jonathan Septimus from The Yellow "M" is the most infamous example. A medical doctor specializing in the human brain, he's developed technology allowing him to completely (or so he thinks) control another human's behavior. While he mostly uses it to remote-control his slave into committing crimes around London, he also sees him as "the perfect prototype of the citizen-robot of the future." Dr. Miloch Georgevitch is a Soviet scientist who's developed sophisticated weather-control technology, uses it to wreak havoc on Western Europe, and is planning to use it to enable a Soviet conquest of the continent. That's just his day job. On his own time, he's also tinkered with time travel technology, and before dying, he wills his time machine to Mortimer... after sabotaging it to ensure that it'll trap Mortimer in A Fate Worse Than Death, cycling through time without ever being able to return to his own era. Dr. Voronov: a KGB scientist who uses biological warfare to target world leaders on both sides of the Iron Curtain, in the hopes of restoring Stalinism to the USSR and despite the risk of starting a world war. Doesn't hesitate to use children as part of his schemes. Dr Z'ong, the main antagonist from The Strange Encounter, is a downplayed version. A Well-Intentioned Extremist with a sympathetic motive, he's a time traveler from After the End, when the nuclear wars of the 21st century have doomed humanity to a slow death, and wants to help his people escape their fate. Unfortunately, he plans to do this by colonizing the 20th century and allying himself with deposed dictator Basam Damdu, reasoning that since he's actually managed to Take Over the World once, he's the one best qualified to help them rule it. Because his own era is so far from the twentieth century, Z'ong doesn't realize that his new ally is A Nazi by Any Other Name whose rule would be catastrophic for everyone, ultimately including the time travelers. (This becomes even more ironic considering that Basam Damdu had a massive nuclear arsenal of his own, and came within seconds of nuking the entire planet in a fit of rage while watching his regime collapse around him). The same book, however, finally gives us an aversion with Dr. Kaufman, the American scientist whose request for help brings Mortimer into the story in the first place. He's unambiguously one of the good guys, even accompanying Blake, Mortimer, and their FBI allies on the time-travelers' portal. |

Fringe: Dr. Bishop, a mad scientist who specializes in bizarre "fringe science" written off by the rest of the scientific community. Probably Lawful Neutral as he seems to be a member of at least one Ancient Conspiracy. He does, however, have some (possibly laser guided) amnesia. It's possible that recovery of those memories would return him to a cackling evil mad scientist of epic proportions. Very, very morally ambiguous indeed. It seems he used to be highly arrogant and not always that concerned about ethics or possible consequences, and that he did do terrible things (including complex drug tests on children). However, it also turns out that most of those terrible things were done with good intentions and that he now feels extremely guilty and tries to atone. As for the other Dr. Bishop, he's a Well-Intentioned Extremist, which probably makes him a morally ambiguous doctor as well. |

Doctor Mohinder Suresh of Heroes. A true blue good guy in the first season; evil tendencies started to creep in around the same time he started taking levels in badass in the second season. A screwed-up recipe for homemade Applied Phlebotinum resulted in something a Face–Heel Turn, though. The jury is out on whether he's good or evil. | |

Tarkin's Fist: Dr. Curu, an Imperial scientist in charge of Project Stork; an Imperial breeding program designed to increase the New Empire's population. The purpose of the project is to conduct medical experiments on pregnant women taken from Earth. These experiments seek to genetically modify the still developing babies in their mothers wombs to remove the Earth born human's dependency on potassium. Potassium turns out to be a rare substance in Imperial born humans and all other alien species. Furthermore, it turns out that Midichlorians, in addition to being a conduit between the Force and an individual, also serve as a substitute for potassium in aliens and Imperial humans. So removing potassium from a still developing fetus while engaging in other aspects of genetic manipulation results in the subsequent child developing a higher midichlorian count to compensate. These newly modified children, now genetically similar to baseline Imperial humans, are separated from their Earth born mothers and raised as Imperials. Curu himself sees his work as improving these unborn children; in his view a life in the Empire affords greater opportunities and rewards than life on primitive, war torn Earth. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist has quite a few doctors since alchemy is a field of study as well as a practical military strength. Most of these doctors were working for the shadow government to create Philosopher's Stones using prisoners of war... but special mention goes to Gold-Toothed Doctor, the man responsible for the creation of Wrath, the implanting process for which took the lives of around 11 test subjects. Shou Tucker, who made his own wife into a talking chimera to get his State Alchemist license, and made his daughter into one to keep it. In the manga omakes, he is the only character to end up going to Hell. Which is saying something — at least one of the ones who went to heaven was a psychopath who loved blowing up people for kicks and giggles. |

Possibly a subversion, given that Zed doesn't actually have a medical degree and references this frequently ("who needs one when you've got style?"). In the sequel, he has a rival in Doc Mercy, who, to Zed's frustration, does have a degree, but is also a bandit and far more concerned with making wounds than treating them. | |

In The Speed of Dark, the doctors who invented the autism cure are extremely shady. They plagiarize and mislabel medical images and push Lou and his coworkers to go through the treatment all at once, even though one at a time would be safer. Because treating adult autistics isn't very profitable, Lou strongly suspects they have ulterior motives. They do — they want to market an attention-control treatment to employers. They test it on Lou's coworker Bailey, who ends up severely brain-damaged. | |

Captain Planet and the Planeteers: Doctor Blight: Usually evil for the cash, the looks, or the fame, sometimes evil for the sake of being so. Duke Nukem also had a doctorate of some ill-defined sort. It's implied he's a walking radioactive rock because of his experiments, and Kwame calls him Dr. Duke Nukem once or twice. |

Dragon Ball: Doctor Gero of Dragon Ball Z. Evil. His degree is likely in the field of engineering, and he is acknowledged as a truly brilliant scientist, if only he'd stop making evil androids and cyborgs. GT's Dr. Myuu. Definitely evil, created the parasitic Baby. Later, teamed up with Gero to concoct an evil plan that allowed Hell to invade Earth. On the good side, we've got Bulma's father Dr. Briefs, who is mildly eccentric (he delays an interstellar manned space journey for weeks to install a cappuccino machine in the craft) but generally helpful. Dr. Hedo, Gero's grandson, is introduced as having been in trouble with the law and shares his grandfather's passion for creating cyborgs (though he refers to himself as a biologist and medical doctor first and foremost). Ironically enough, he turns out to be good, even heroic, if a little misguided and naive... which allows the villains to trick him into making superweapons for them, believing he's fighting on the side of justice. |

Everyday Heroes features Dr. Unpleasant, Dr. Gene Gromene, Dr. "Dark Anne" Troubled, and maybe more. It's not yet certain whether the Big Bad, Doc Tormentor, is an actual doctor or not. Played with when a wannabe supervillain comes up with the moniker "Dr. Destruction" but gets shot down because he doesn't actually have a doctorate. |

SCP Foundation: SCP-231 is a woman who can only be attended by medical personnel who haven't taken the Hippocratic Oath. Why? Because she has to be permanently strapped to a hospital bed, and once daily she has to be subjected to a medical procedure so horrific that most of the details can't be disclosed or else she gives birth to...something which could cause untold death and destruction. Dr. Wondertainment, a person or organization dedicated to creating ridiculously dangerous toys and distributing them among children. Apparently more oblivious than evil. |

Or, ambiguous: in some versions, he has his 7 years of Glory, and goes to Hell, ha ha ha, serves him right for being Evil. In some versions, Faust is presented as a sympathetic character who wants to be redeemed: when he fails, it is tragic Grand Opera, when he succeeds, it is happy ending Light Opera. Goethe has him as Distracted Neutral if not Chaotic Neutral more than anything else. He sells his soul for knowledge, and most opera versions of Goethe end right after Mephistopheles has done his job by pushing Faust firmly over the Moral Event Horizon. At the end of the second half, after much weirdness, Faust a Heel–Face Turn because he looks around and then gives himself a What the Hell, Hero? speech. | |

Most of the adult characters from Neon Genesis Evangelion have doctorates in something. Examples such as Kozo Fuyutsuki (Gendo Ikari's Yes-Man (but with his own reasons)), Yui Ikari (The Chessmaster, according to some readings), Ritsuko Akagi ('cause committing mass 2nd-degree murder the dummy system is a sane act) and Naoko Akagi (just pure crazy, up to and including murdering Rei I for calling her a "hag"). And all of them are pricks in one way or another. | |

Supervillains (and some superheroes) in the Whateley Universe who don't actually earn their degrees are generally the subject of derision and spite from anyone who actually has. Most of the B-list or higher supervillains with "Doctor" in their title, most notably Doctor Diabolik, actually have their bona fides, so putting that in one's codename just to seem more evil is seen as the work of an unimaginative poseur. | |

From the Discworld are Dr. Cruces, head of the Assassins' Guild and user of the gonne in Men at Arms; Dr. Whiteface and the intimidating and humourless leader of the Fools' Guild. "Doctor" is a non-doctorate academic title. It is pointed out that the Guild of Assassins is not just an educational institution offering the usual school-level stuff to pupils aged eleven-to-eighteen. It also trains for, and confers, advanced degrees including a PhD, the Doctor of Assassination title. What a degree in Assassination entails, let alone the postgraduate track, is left undescribed. Assassins who can legitimately call themselves "Doctor" are therefore to be more than usually feared. |

Doctors Powell and Pettifog of BioShock Infinite, who think nothing of strapping Elizabeth into a painful energy siphon, ignoring her heart-wrenching cries for mercy and coldly torturing your sweet, adorable sidekick for months to break her will. They even privately discuss killing her against the wishes of Big Bad Comstock. When Booker shuts down the siphon and Elizabeth gets the chance to (awesomely) repay their cruelty, the player will likely scoff in disbelief as they panic and urge Booker to turn the siphon back on. | |

Dr. Hojo from Final Fantasy VII. Quite. Crazy. It's hard to find anything he did that is not For Science!. Arguably responsible for every single calamity that happens in FFVII universe. Except Jenova. She fell before he was born. However, he did contribute greatly to making Jenova problem far worse (can you say Sephiroth)? |

Surprisingly, even World of Warcraft has a few of those. Most of them are undead. However, the two who really stand out (both of them evil) are not. Scholomance boss, human, utterly insane, Doctor Theoden Krastinov (doesn't help that his title is "The Butcher"). More badass, gnome Dr. Weavil, obviously a blatant parody of Dr. Evil. He even has a minion called Number Two. No Mini-Me unfortunately... | |

The Big Bang Theory: It's been noted that Doctor Sheldon Cooper is "one lab accident away from becoming a supervillain". Leonard's mother, Dr. Beverly Hofstadter, can give you the closest thing to Mind Rape a sitcom grounded in something resembling reality can offer via her questionable usage of her psychiatrist skills. Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler, while usually seeming to be less likely to snap than her boyfriend and Spear Counterpart Sheldon, has offered to have her lab monkeys kill someone more than once. Dr. Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wolowitz's work for a private pharmaceutical company supposedly curing diseases is also implied to be morally ambiguous — which is scary because she's always smiling. The show also lampshaded the prevalence of these in comic books. |

The Rocky Horror Picture Show Dr. Frank. N. Furter: Okay, so we don't know if he's REALLY a doctor, but he's sure deep into the Mad Science. While initially he seems more hedonistic than evil, he turns out to be willing to deceive, manipulate and even rape people, cuts out half a man's brain for an experiment, later brutally murders that same man (yes, he survived having half his brain removed) just for upstaging him briefly, and eats him as well as serving the meat to an unwitting Brad and Janet. He's a Bad Boss who whips his servant (really more like a slave) for disobeying him, and is also a prince from an alien planet who came to earth to conquer it before getting distracted by having sex with humans. | |

Kamen Rider Build has Takumi Katsuragi, a theoretical physicist who earned the nickname "The Devil's Scientist" for the lengths he was willing to go in the name of his research. Although he turns out later on to be more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist. Nariaki Utsumi is a lesser example, not being nearly the genius Katsuragi is but still smart enough that the villains employ him to reverse engineer the tech invented by Katsuragi and others so they can use it. | |

Nova (2007): Doctor Evlyn Necker, an attractive but slightly shady scientist who turns out to be working as a mole for A.I.M., even if she's actually quite nice on-page (though naming her robot project "Minion" is pretty sus as it). When she returned a few years later in Revolutionary War, she'd scratched out the "morally ambiguous" bit and gone full Mad Scientist. Of course, given she's a younger, alternate version of the mad scientist who created Death's Head II for HYDRA, the madness was probably a given. | |

Atomic Robo: Dr. Dinosaur, Robo's Arch-Enemy and batshit insane time-traveling(?) dinosaur scientist. He has a doctorate… from the University of Akkad in ancient Mesopotamia. He keeps his (four-thousand years old and baked in clay) degree hung up in his EVIL office. Robo is fairly certain it is not real but also has given up on arguing with Dr. D about it. Either way, he refuses to call him "professor". | |

Dr. Eggman from Sonic Boom. Evil, only kinda harmless. The episode "Mister Eggman" reveals he actually didn't get his doctorate in Evil Science, so he went back and got his degree since without, everyone started calling him Mr. Eggman, which was a bit less intimidating. | |

Mazinger Z: Dr. Hell is a Mad Scientist and the Big Bad. He also was a Large Ham. To be fair, knowledge or science did not make him evil; Abusive Parents and shitty early life experiences convinced him Humans Are Bastards. He devoted himself to learn science because it helped him to keep himself sane. However, after his sanity finally slipped out due to too much abuse, he decided to use his scientific knowledge to make everyone pay. | |

Black Butler: The manga has a doctor who seems relatively normal and kind. He made prosthetic limbs for circus performers who had lived on the streets before being rescued by Baron Kelvin. Nice, right? Sure, until we learn that those wonderfully crafted prosthetic limbs were made from bones. Bones of children that were captured and kept in cages until more bones were needed. When Ciel learned this he was NOT happy. In the anime, one of the people behind the Jack the Ripper case is Doctor Angelina Durless. You know, Madam Red. |

The facility in which the entire story of Ruby Quest takes place in, known as The Metal Glen, was — in a nutshell — built out of an odd, isolated, geological formation from out in the middle of a secluded loch for the specific purpose of doctors and medical researchers practicing/ testing treatmentsnote (treatments that would likely be deemed as "unconventional" by most) without the need of the proper permits, license, or the possibility of criminal prosecution. | |

Fallout 3: In a game filled with sociopaths, Dr. Stanislaus Braun does his best to stand out: As controller and inhabitant of the Vault-112 virtual reality simulations, he has been continually torturing, killing, and reviving the other inhabitants of the simulation for 200 years, just to amuse himself. The only reason he enjoys this is because they're real people, not just computer programs; if you Mercy Kill everyone else there so they can't be revived, he'll act like a spoiled 10-year-old and get upset that you took away his toys. The fact that you've doomed him to being stuck alone in the simulation forever doesn't really register. When you get trapped in Vault 112, he offers to let you leave.... but only if you murder everyone else in the vault for his amusement. He's also the guy who designed most if not all of the other Vaults in the Vault Experiment, which goes a long way to explaining why nearly every Vault descended into madness and horror. | |

Metropolis University must be the world's leading college for obtaining a Morally Ambiguous Doctorate, because almost every single doctor appearing on the show is either evil or a Well-Intentioned Extremist doing unethical experiments For Science! (or, y'know, in return for Luthor money). Even a regular medical doctor (Helen Bryce) turned out to be evil in Season 3. | |

Borderlands: Dr. Zed: The last person you want near you with anything sharp, but one of the very few people that you can rely on in the Death World that is Pandora. May or may not have somehow been responsible for a Zombie Apocalypse. And speaking of Zombie Apocalypse, Dr. Ned: Turns out he's a bad guy... who knew? Possibly a subversion, given that Zed doesn't actually have a medical degree and references this frequently ("who needs one when you've got style?"). In the sequel, he has a rival in Doc Mercy, who, to Zed's frustration, does have a degree, but is also a bandit and far more concerned with making wounds than treating them. |

Clearly referenced in the Arthur episode "Elwood City Turns 100!" When the class is being handed their roles in the town's centennial play, Buster misreads "Director" as "Dr. Ector" and immediately assumes he's the villain. And has a claw. When Buster later makes a surprise appearance on stage as an alien named Dr. Ector, he's not villainous, just oddly obsessed with dental hygiene. It Makes Sense in Context. Parodied in the "Dark Bunny" TV show. His arch-enemy is the "Doctapus," an octopus who apparently went to college and earned a doctorate. |

And, if we take Poker Night at the Inventory as canon, the Heavy Weapons Guy, of all people, has a PhD as well (granted, it's in Russian Literature, not any of the "hard" sciences, but still). His morality, like all of the other mercenaries, are strictly team-based, and he's definitely not sane, considering he talks to both his food and his guns as if they're alive in his in-game voice lines. Disproven in the official Valve TF2 comics, in which the Heavy is one of the most stable and smart members of the team. His backstory (in "Meet the Director" and "Cold Day in Hell") clearly shows he works as a merc not because he likes hurting people (although he does not object to it) but to provide money for his elderly mother and three sisters and because of a wish to punish "evil people" (although his definition of evil is pretty utilitarian, "anyone who hurts the people I like"). |

A rather humorous example: Howard the Duck's foe Dr. Bong is a Mad Scientist and not a real doctor, but years after his conflict with Howard, he tries to earn a legitimate PhD in psychology. Unfortunately, his first patient during his internship is Deadpool, and suffice to say, that kind of messed things up... | |

BioShock: Dr. Suchong: Absolutely mercenary at nature and willing to commit scientific atrocities as long as he's paid well in the end. Dr. Tenenbaum: Created the Little Sisters and initially ambivalent since it's all For Science!. Eventually develops a maternal instinct and becomes The Atoner. Dr. Steinman: Lethally experimenting on people in order to satisfy his twisted perception of beauty. Evil and completely out of his mind. Dr. Lamb from BioShock 2 is an Enemy of Free Will and devoted to the destruction of individuality. Doctors Powell and Pettifog of BioShock Infinite, who think nothing of strapping Elizabeth into a painful energy siphon, ignoring her heart-wrenching cries for mercy and coldly torturing your sweet, adorable sidekick for months to break her will. They even privately discuss killing her against the wishes of Big Bad Comstock. When Booker shuts down the siphon and Elizabeth gets the chance to (awesomely) repay their cruelty, the player will likely scoff in disbelief as they panic and urge Booker to turn the siphon back on. |

In Cuanta Vida, the Blue Doctor is insane and many of his teammates don't want to get treatment from him or people will fetch his patients after the procedure to keep the doctor from performing "extra tests". He kills Liam and tries to kill Jeremy for being crippled and, in his opinion, useless. If he kills them, they would have been replaced. | |

Mass Effect: Dr. Mordin Solus. Before you actually meet him, all you have is a name and the space station he can be found. As you investigate, everyone tells you that he's crazy and that they don't expect you to survive the encounter, the tales getting more horrid every time. When you meet him, he turns out to actually be quite crazy, but seems to be fully aware of what's going on around him and a genuinely nice person. He also seems to be a former member of the salarian Special Tasks Group and has tech powers to burn people alive. He is also revealed to be one of the leading scientists who spent some time re-engineering the genophage, an incurable genetic disease that causes massive rates of miscarriages in pregnant krogan to keep the numbers of the species low. He's aware that the bioweapon was ethically reprehensible, but does not regret his actions. He mentions that he started the clinic in Omega specifically so that he could do something less morally ambiguous in his twilight years. He then completely redeems himself in Mass Effect 3 by taking the elevator to the top of an exploding weather control tower to release the genophage cure over Tuchanka, humming his song from the previous game, "I am the very model of a scientist Salarian..." Also, Dr. Saleon from the first game. Need spare organs? Grow them in the natural environment of a subject's body! |

Rebuild World: Doctor Yatsubiyashi is introduced at a medical clinic treating Akira's injuries while trying to sell him medicine with a Sickly Green Glow. He later sets up a Mad Scientist Laboratory looking clinic in the slums of Kugamayama, where he offers the poor residents two choices: pay, or be subject to Playing with Syringes in exchange, in order to circumvent having to go through official trials. Even later, Yatsubiyashi sets up a field clinic in a warzone where he gives seriously injured hunters three options: Pay way more than what the treatment should cost, do favors for him, or hobble through the war-zone to the nearest base. And then there's striking a Deal with the Devil to make and plant Evil Knockoff hunters to act as Agent Provocateur during the assault on Tsubaki's sanctum, in exchange for data on Lost Technology. | |

The Flash (2014) has Dr. Harrison Wells who, although he is Barry's mentor in superheroics and thus technically one of the good guys, is rather prone to Shoot the Dog actions in order to keep Barry safe. He's eventually revealed to be the villainous Reverse Flash, zig-zagging this trope a little as it is unknown whether he also has a doctorate in his true identity as Eobard Thawne. | |

Batman: Subverted with Hugo Strange, who despite holding a doctorate in psychiatry, is never called Doctor Strange (possibly due to the below), rather, he's always called Professor. Either way, he's evil. Before becoming The Scarecrow, Jonathan Crane held a doctorate in psychology and still sometimes refers to himself as "Doctor Crane", as despite being an insane supervillain, he views himself as a mere scientist dedicated to the study of fear. Nominally inverted by Victor Fries — while he does have a doctorate, his supervillain name drops the "Dr." in favor of "Mr. Freeze." The Bat also finds himself fighting a number of other inversions who hold doctorates but don't include their title in their supervillain names including Dr. Isley (Poison Ivy), Dr. Quinzell (Harley Quinn), the aforementioned Dr. Crane (The Scarecrow), and Dr. Elliot (Hush). King Tut AKA The Pharaoh is also a professor and most likely has a Ph.D., but Doctor isn't part of his villainous name, either. The Crime Doctor: Evil... depending on the continuity. Pre-Crisis he was moderately evil; a gang boss who still held by his Inconvenient Hippocratic Oath. In Batman: The Animated Series he was good, but pressurized into becoming a mob doctor by his evil brother. Post-Crisis, he's a bona fide Mad Doctor, a serial killer who wears Elton John sunglasses (taken as a trophy from his first victim, a female med student). |

There's plenty of heroic scientists in Kamen Rider, but that doesn't stop doctors from popping up as villains often. The original Kamen Rider series had Doctor Shinigami/Ikadevil, high-ranking executive of Shocker and master of both natural and supernatural sciences. Kamen Rider Double has Dr. Isaka/Weather Dopant, who actually modified Gaia Memories to kill their users so he could take them and incorporate them and their powers into himself later on, and Dr. Prospect/Eyes Dopant, who performed horrifying experiments on children to turn them into psychics, planned to kill the failed subjects by electrocution, and planted eyes on them to watch them and kill them if they strayed out of the village. Prospect was responsible for the Despair Event Horizon of Katsumi Daido, the antagonist of the first W movie "A-to-Z: Gaia Memories of Fate". Kamen Rider OOO: Dr. Maki, who allied himself with the Greeed in order to get a chance to study them. He really goes off the deep end by the finale though, where he turn himself into a Greeed with the goal of ending everything. Kamen Rider Gaim: Professor Ryoma Sengoku, the Yggdrasill Corpoation's top scientist and the one who created all of the Drivers in the show. He's also a nutjob Evilutionary Biologist whose ultimate goal is to find a way to use Helheim to achieve godhood, although he doesn't necessarily seek to become a god as long as his research is what brings said god about. The hings he does do in order to achieve his goals include throwing the world into anarchy, and murdering someone who possessed the Forbidden Fruit within them. Kamen Rider Build has Takumi Katsuragi, a theoretical physicist who earned the nickname "The Devil's Scientist" for the lengths he was willing to go in the name of his research. Although he turns out later on to be more of a Well-Intentioned Extremist. Nariaki Utsumi is a lesser example, not being nearly the genius Katsuragi is but still smart enough that the villains employ him to reverse engineer the tech invented by Katsuragi and others so they can use it. |

The Outside Xbox crew often make jokes based on this trope.

On M*A*S*H, Major Frank Burns is an immoral doctor and a worse officer, likely only gaining the latter position because of the former. (One military judge who looks at his record — when Burns attempts to have Hawkeye court-martialed — claims that if Burns hadn't been drafted as a surgeon he likely would be working as a pastry chef.) In fact, a few episodes have hinted (and given straight admissions from Burns) that he cheated his way through medical school. (Of course, ask any actual member of the military, and he'll comment on how unrealistic every character in the series was.) | |

Perhaps Doc Brown from Back to the Future escapes this trope because he's not known as "Dr. Brown". Or perhaps because he is not evil. He does steal a train but it's only to save Marty not an evil scheme or for science. He jokes it is a science experiment, but it wasn't. | |

Kim Possible: Doctor Drakken: Evil, but not especially dangerous. Not surprising given that he was a college dropout and therefore possesses no degree. Professor Dementor. Somewhat more competent than Drakken, who would rather steal his inventions than invent his own. |

The Batman: Wayne Family Adventures episode "PhD" centers around Robin pointing out how a large amount of villains in Gotham have doctorate degrees, leading to a discussion regarding the correlation between higher education and supervillainy. Red Robin and Spoiler propose the idea that misguided people end up being pushed by their anti-social personalities to pursue higher learning, giving them the knowledge to conduct villainous experiments. This leads Robin to the conclusion that education is evil and that he doesn't need to go to school. Batman objects to that last part. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, the in-universe equivalent of the title "Doctor" is "Maester", and maesters are usually medical doctors. They are normally pacifists and do no harm. However, one disgraced maester, named Qyburn, was banished from the Citadel (i.e. got his license revoked) for experimenting on live humans and dabbling in necromancy. He served as a field medic in a company of psychos for hire and later multiclassed as a spymaster for a bitch-queen. | |

One Piece: Doctor Vegapunk. Not introduced yet, but his reputations far precede him; presumably evil, and certainly eccentric. Invented a process that lets inanimate objects swallow fruit. note Though this is result of Protagonist-Centered Morality: He is affiliated with the World Government, who are "evil" from the viewpoint of the protagonist, pirate Monkey D. Luffy. Trafalgar Law: Subversion. His reputation seemed to be painting him as this, but it turns out he is actually a decent guy, although cold and cruel at times. He was also trained from early childhood by his parents, who were both renowned physicians and surgeons. Dr. Hogback: Evilutionary Biologist. |

Dr. Mabuse, from a number of German films beginning with Dr. Mabuse, the Gambler in 1922. Not only is he one of the original criminal masterminds, but he also uses "telepathic hypnosis" to force others to do his will. What's his ultimate goal? To spread as much fear and terror as possible and destroy the world, then rule it. Yikes. Luckily, his own self-destructive tendencies ("M'abuse" is French for "I abuse myself") make him his own worst enemy. | |

Futurama: Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Senile to the point of insanity, but mostly harmless. Has a penchant for creating doomsday devices, only keeps Amy around because she's his blood type, tries to harvest Leela's organs, is implied to be a cannibal, implanted Hitler's brain in the body of a shark, killed people for their stem cells, has been frequently cited for public nudity, and frequently, knowingly sends his crew on life-threatening adventures without warning, to the point of hiring replacements even before their demises are confirmed. In his youth, he created the modern robot, an ecological disaster. Opposed the legalization of Robosexual marriages, but eventually changed his mind. Averted by Amy Wong, who was finally awarded her doctorate in Season 6. Somewhat ditzy, but generally good. |

The Venture Bros.: Doctor Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture: Kinda Good. He isn't plotting world domination or looking for dogs to kick, but he is a bitter grouch at the center of a Sadist Show. And he did once build a wish-fulfillment machine that was powered by the heart of an orphan... and then there was the bit with reanimating the corpses of his enemies (and implied killing of the cloned bodies of his children) and selling them to the army. He isn't actually a doctor. Doctor Jonas Venture Sr.: Presented himself as good, but more and more is revealed to have been evil. He stayed on the side of good to keep his fame and fortune secure but was almost totally amoral in his personal life. Jonas was a frequent philanderer and was implied (and proven, in some cases) to have impregnated his friends' wives. He also held his own son Rusty in complete disregard, totally forgetting about him at best and using him as a guinea pig for dangerous experiments at worst. Additionally, he was not above blackmailing his friends into doing his dirty work. Even Jonas' successes in science are shown to be inspired by his poor impulse control, and were all later either tarted up for sale on the market (without much safety or quality control testing) or completely abandoned after losing interest. Doctor Jonas Venture Jr.: Good. He entered the superscience career completely believing his father's (hypocritical) messages of peacefully advancing mankind through science and technology, and used his own resourcefulness, charm, and motivation to totally surpass Rusty's career in a fraction of the time. His only negative traits were his smugness (mainly toward Rusty) and his tendency to get totally wrapped up in projects. Doctor Byron Orpheus: Good, but obnoxious and overbearing, and not above mind-wiping his own daughter repeatedly so she'll forget that her closet is the doorway to the underworld. He has a degree in Communications with a minor in Women's Studies, but accredits his doctor title to a higher power. The Phantom Limb was a professor before his lab-accident-powered Face–Heel Turn, and likely had a doctorate. Doctor Girlfriend/Doctor Mrs. The Monarch: Not only evil, but better at it than the Monarch himself. She acts as a moderating force on him, but if you assume that means she's secretly good you are sadly mistaken. It is later revealed her Doctorate is Honorary from donating money to an Evil College. Doctor Richard Impossible: Evil, and a similar case as Jonas Sr.: He starts out a trusted and renowned scientist, yet a total monster in his personal life. Richard's idea of clean energy is to use Cody's (incredibly painful) Man on Fire powers as a fuel source. He also had no qualms about murdering Rusty — not for hitting on his wife, but for trying to access off-limits sections of his facility. By Season 4, Sally's divorce with Richard pushes him completely off the deep end, and he sheds any preconceptions of being a good guy. Doctor Z: Affably Evil Card-Carrying Villain. Basically Dr Zin from Jonny Quest, but semi-retired. Pretty nefarious in his day, though. Averted with Dr. Billy Quizboy, despite his ethical sins of practicing medicine without a license (he eventually got one... via dubious means) and doing the sorts of surgeries that would make any Mad Doctor proud. He's one of the show's most morally decent characters (innocent enough to have once earnestly asked Dr. Venture if good really always triumphs over evil), it's just his specialty includes things like grafting a pony's face onto a human abdomen or adding one guy's head onto another guy's body. Professor Mike Sorayama and Think Tank (aka Dr. Nidaba), both evil professors. Think Tank is very Affably Evil, though, and he's a philosophy professor rather than anything science-y. Subverted with Professor Victor Von Helping, who's pretty close to Bad Powers, Good People (his powers aren't necessarily evil, but they're super-scary), but who deliberately rejected his father's evil ways. |

Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters, who has degrees in parapsychology and psychology, usually only falls into the Dr. Jerk territory. However, at the beginning of the first film, he was worse, lying during a test on volunteers, simply because he didn't want to inflict the painful punishment on the attractive female one (much to the dismay of the other one). | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy IV: Dr. Lugae turned Edge's parents into chimeras before turning himself into a monster. Even Rubicante is appalled by this. Dr. Hojo from Final Fantasy VII. Quite. Crazy. It's hard to find anything he did that is not For Science!. Arguably responsible for every single calamity that happens in FFVII universe. Except Jenova. She fell before he was born. However, he did contribute greatly to making Jenova problem far worse (can you say Sephiroth)? Final Fantasy XII: Doctor Cid: Mad with power. And very theatrical. |

Psychonauts: Dr. Loboto, who harvests the brains of young psychic children and attempts to put them in psychic-powered tanks. His PhD is in dentistry, however, which makes one wonder why Coach Oleander has him working with brains. | |

Doctor Mordenheim of Lamordia in the Ravenloft campaign, an Expy of Victor Frankenstein; a Flat-Earth Atheist whose experiments in the creation of life were perceived by the gods as blasphemies, and was cursed by them. He's not the Darklord of Lamordia (his monster, Adam, is the Lord) but he shares the same Ironic Hell. | |

Skullgirls: Valentine combines this with Battleaxe Nurse. She is frequently seen wanting to experiment on some of the cast's most unusual characters and her fighting style involves a liberal use of medical equipment. And while not a full-on villain, she's one of the most sadistic members of the cast. | |

Dr. Shuu Iwamine from Hatoful Boyfriend is often described as creepy by other characters, and with good reason. It turns out that his crimes vary from murdering various students, to forcing Nageki to murder innocent humans against his will, to plotting the extinction of the human race. He very nearly succeeds at that last one, too... | |

Applies to Harley Quinn (2019), set in The DCU where mad scientists and doctors abound. Downplayed with Harley and Ivy, who are both "doctors" — Harley is a psychologist and Ivy is a biochemistnote still a PhD holder here, per Mr. Freeze. However, while they are Anti Villains, their skills in their fields are never used to paint them as evil — Harley made some breakthroughs with the Arkham patients, and the one time Ivy is seen doing science it's to save fellow scientist Mr. Freeze's wife's life. Parodied when Doctor Psycho tries to contact Darkseid on his phone. He scrolls through quite a few villainous "Doctors" before finding him. Riddler doesn't recognize one and asks who he is. |

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: Dr. Horrible repeatedly informs us he has "a Ph.D. in Horribleness", even though he is a Technical Pacifist who pretty steadfastly refuses to endanger children and balks at killing. At least until Penny dies, at which point he starts playing this trope dead straight. Actually, this trope is deconstructed: He only becomes evil because Captain Hammer thinks all smart and nerdy guys are evil, and thusly treated him as a villain even when he was not yet one, so he became a villain because he was seen as a one anyway. And he is still better than Captain Hammer. |

Super Sentai: In Choudenshi Bioman, you don't get much more morally ambiguous when you're a Big Bad named Doctor Man whose plan is to kill off the species you once were a part of. Choujuu Sentai Liveman had five villains who qualified as this, with the Big Bad being named Great Professor Bias and his human students named Dr. Kemp, Dr. Mazenda, Dr. Obular, and Dr. Ashura; all of the students were once regular human students but have augmented themselves biologically or mechanically as a show of their detatchment from their humanity in their selfish pursuit of power and knowledge. Considering Bias's students most likely got their doctorates from him, they may be almost literal examples. Also, while it isn't in their names, the aliens actually robots Guildos and Butchy probably count, as well. While Bias proves to be irredeemable, Kemp goes insane, and Guildos just dies too early, all of them make Heel Face Turns at some point when they find out what Bias is actually up to; even Kemp at the end is able to rebel against Bias after Megumi's words lead him to a Heel Realization about what he has done and how he regrets everthing. Chikyuu Sentai Fiveman: Galactic Scientist Doldora, who works as chief scientist and weapons designer for The Empire. Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger: Dr. Mikoto Nakadai/AbareKiller: Dr. Jerk and a White Ranger... but no heart of gold, and evil since he joins up with the Evolien to get excitement after spening his life bored with his perfection at everything. He did a Heel–Face Turn in the end though, just in time to die but does get a lot better in future appearances. |

Warhammer 40,000: Fabius Bile, a geneticist who's reduced planets to shambling mutants and created a race of murderous superbeings. In battle, he shoots people with syringes that can make them explode. He's also thousands of years old, preserved by Black Magic pumped into his veins, and doesn't worship any of the Chaos Gods despite extensive dealings with them, which may actually be scarier than any of his other accomplishments. The Dark Eldar Haemonculi, from whom Bile actually learned his skills. They're functionally immortal Mad Scientists that specialise in all kinds of body modifications, from replacing their own blood with acid to turning people into horrible biomechanical abominations. In battle, they wield all sorts of freaky weapons, from guns that fire their own acid blood at enemies to syringe-gauntlets that cause the victim to grow out of their skin and caskets filled with invisible fiends that strip the flesh from their victim's bones. Ork Mad Doks/Pain Boyz are no more evil, and quite a bit more eccentric than other Orks. Probably Chaotic Neutral if pressed. |

Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name: Doc Worth hasn't even actually got a doctorate; he dropped out of medical school. He doesn't let that stop him practicing medicine, and he's also terribly shady just generally. Hanna even implies that he developed a crush on Conrad because Conrad beat him up. And then there's Hanna's freaking torso, and the "classified" procedure Worth decides Hanna needs after being attacked by a ghost. It seems to be working out all right for Hanna, so, cool, but, also, WTF. | |

The Medic of Team Fortress 2: Likely a confirmed doctorate, given that most of his team-mates refer to him as "Doctor", "Doc", "Herr Doktor" and the like. Fully aware that healing his team (actually a side-effect of his Medigun) means that they are that much more efficient at killing the other team. By the way, his bio states he never took the Hippocratic oath. And TF Industries still hired him. Whether or not the Medic has any actual medical training is a Flip-Flop of God. The Medic's old bio states he has no certifiable training or experience (which doesn't mean much as the mercs were not supposed to reveal private info to each other, including each other's real names), while in the 'Meet the Medic" video he casually explains that he actually lost his medical license due to an incident in which his patient lost his entire skeleton. The worst part? He laughs and jokes about it with the Heavy. The Engineer's backstory says he has 11 Ph.D.s, and he seems to be a much more stable guy, although that's not saying much considering that the flavor text for The Gunslinger is that he chopped his own hand off and replaced it with a robot replacement For Science!. There's also the fact that the Engineer's domination voice lines are surprisingly vicious and nasty for someone who cultivates a "Texan nice guy" persona. ("I'm a killer of men, Doc, that's the God-honest truth.") We're talking about a guy who builds killer sentry guns for a living and treats them like his children. And, if we take Poker Night at the Inventory as canon, the Heavy Weapons Guy, of all people, has a PhD as well (granted, it's in Russian Literature, not any of the "hard" sciences, but still). His morality, like all of the other mercenaries, are strictly team-based, and he's definitely not sane, considering he talks to both his food and his guns as if they're alive in his in-game voice lines. Disproven in the official Valve TF2 comics, in which the Heavy is one of the most stable and smart members of the team. His backstory (in "Meet the Director" and "Cold Day in Hell") clearly shows he works as a merc not because he likes hurting people (although he does not object to it) but to provide money for his elderly mother and three sisters and because of a wish to punish "evil people" (although his definition of evil is pretty utilitarian, "anyone who hurts the people I like"). |

UFO (1970): The vaguely sinister Dr. Doug Jackson appears to fill a number of roles in SHADO, ranging from psychiatrist and medical doctor to prosecuting officer. In one episode Commander Straker calls him "the eyes of the International Astrophysical Committee", implying that Dr. Jackson's role is to spy on him for his superiors (which would explain his wide-ranging brief). This is only enhanced by his noticeable Eastern European accent, which would automatically make the 1970's audience think of Cold War Espionage Tropes. | |

Doctor Who: The Doctor: Though good, Trial of a Time Lord: The Ultimate Foe reveals that he has the potential to become one of the most evil beings in the universe, and he can certainly stray into Good Is Not Nice territory at times. Also, exactly what the Doctor got his doctorate in is never stated. Some of the earlier stories seem to indicate that he most likely did not get his degree in medicine (save for a "purely honorary" degree from working under Dr. Lister [of Listerine fame]) but in law. As an interesting side note, the word "Valeyard" (the name of the Doctor's prosecutor and potential dark side) is said to mean "a doctor of law." The Eleventh Doctor claims that he has legitimate degrees in medicine and cheese-making (but he's an Unreliable Narrator, so who knows). |

Dr. Shark from The Non-Adventures of Wonderella is introduced as your typical mad scientist bent on wreaking havoc. From that point on, though, it's zigzagged, with him only occasionally being villainous, and usually nicer and more ethical than the heroine herself. | |

Child of the Storm has Doctor Strange, as per canon — except that this version is a Chessmaster who manipulates the heck out of everyone in order to make the best possible future come about. While he's unambiguously on the side of good, he's also most definitely not sweetness and light, and he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty if necessary (remember, his main job is beating up/scamming Eldritch Abominations). The sequel gives us Doctor Nathan Essex, aka Sinister. He's a bad guy who regards the world as his petri dish, and Strange describes him as the master who taught freakin' Arnim Zola everything he knows. Speaking of which, Zola himself qualifies, being an Omnidisciplinary Scientist who is willing to sink to any depths for the sake of science and/or advancing HYDRA's goals. |

In Cage of Eden, the closest thing the series has to a Big Bad is Takashi Nishikori, the doctor who holds the Pyramid group in thrall with a combination of threats and psychological tricks. He gained power in the first place by spreading a disease, and then only giving the cure to those who swore loyalty to him. Except for the previous leader and said leader's daughter. Those he watched die. And it turns out he isn't even a real doctor. | |

Supervillains in Red Panda Adventures who call themselves "Doctor" or "Professor" anything typically have the academic credentials to back up the title, such as Adolf Hitler's chief scientific advisor Professor Fredrich von Schlitz. This becomes a plot point in "The Empty Box" when the heroes have to track down a self-proclaimed witch doctor, Professor Hex. Between this trope and the fact most magical practitioners consider the term "witch doctor" offensive enough that they'd never use it to describe themselves, they are able to expose Professor Hex as an entomologist who had been poisoning his victims with a specific breed of fly. | |

Victor Vale from The Villains Series is a subversion. As a med student with a vengeful, violent streak, and Mad Scientist tendencies to boot, he'd be a textbook example... except, thanks to an incident that landed him in jail, he was never able to complete his doctorate. He's more than a little annoyed about this. The second book introduces a straight example in Dr. Haverty, who has a penchant for vivisections and experimenting on human beings. | |

Although she's technically one of the "good guys," in a textbook case of Nice Job Breaking It, Hero, one weapon she created in particular — the Venjix computer virus — becomes the season's Big Bad after she uploaded the virus to blind Alphabet Soup's security servers in a failed attempt to escape her imprisonment.

Dr. Jekyll from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, particularly in the original book, where his reason for making the potion was essentially to do bad things and not get caught. His alter-ego, Mr. Hyde, averts this. Dr. Jekyll was, fittingly, a doctor in two subjects: Medicine and Law. Chapter two reveals he was a M.D. (Doctor of Medicine), a D.C.L. (Doctor of civil law) and a L.L.D, Legum doctor, Doctor of Laws. And before the obligatory Evil Lawyer Joke, those doctorates were truly morally ambiguous: The Medicine Doctorate allowed Dr. Jekyll to prepare the potion that unleashed the completely evil Mr. Hyde, but also let Jekyll do a lot of good in the world helping his patients after his My God, What Have I Done? moment. The Doctorate of Law allowed Jekyll to avoid the Undead Tax Exemption for Mr. Hyde and even helped Hyde to escape the law when Jekyll experimented with an involuntary Split-Personality Takeover, but it also allowed Dr. Jekyll to make haste, where it was possible, to undo the evil Hyde has done. |

Though never called a doctor outright, you'd have to have a couple doctorates in badass to engineer MULTIPLE plagues which nicely complement each other, as Hakke Dal from Maken X (Maken Shao on Playstation) so capably demonstrated. Also he shows he has no moral compunction against killing his own daughter should you brainjack her to use against him. The reason she was trapped in a psych ward in the first place was that he tested one of the first prototypes of the Uvad virus on her. He'd likely be BFFs with Killjoy above in his college days and may have even roomed with him. Also, he's an oddly black man in a game world full of greys. (Though all Hakkes intend to kill a lot of people to forwards their utopia, Dal seems to be the only one enjoying his work. Margaret is just Ax-Crazy and hopped up on designer drugs like Eugenics and Relativism. Big Bad Geist is actually one of the sanest members of the group, as both he and right-hand Yusef can be diplomatically reasoned within a couple endings, provided you made the appropriate storyline choices.) | |

John Putnam Thatcher: The intrigue of A Stitch in Time involves a hospital overflowing with corruption and ethics breaches. Dr. Wendell Martin, the murder victim, causes a patient's death through extreme negligence during an operation and (aided by his colleagues Wittke, Neverson, and Bullivant) tries to cover it up. Martin has been lying to patients about their health so they'll pay him for unnecessary gall bladder removals. When another doctor confronts him about this, Martin fires him. Martin, Wittke, Wittke's two sons (who are also doctors), and Neverson write their patients expensive (and sometimes unnecessary) prescriptions for drugs from a company that they secretly own while cheaply importing those drugs from abroad. Martin has been accepting cash payments for operations and not reporting them to the IRS. Dr. Bullivant, the head of the obstetrics department, had been performing abortions for money and writing them up as miscarriages, pre-Roe v. Wade. Neverson kills Martin to keep him from implicating the others. The villain in Green Grow the Dollars has a PhD in botany and resorts to murder after a failed attempt to steal a colleague's work. |

The titular island-owner of Dr. Franklin's Island is as amoral as they come — hybridizing animals with human genes, refusing to euthanize the ones that survive the process even if they do so in "very twisted forms", incorporating teenaged human castaways into the project and having them turned into monsters, and playing psychological games all the while. His assistant Doctor Skinner is... willing to go along with most of it (though he's shaken when he speaks to a rayfish that was once a girl) but can't stand the psychological torment, and alternates ineffectual attempts to help the teens escape with working for his boss as usual. | |

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Doctor Walsh slid from good to misguided to evil in short order before "being skewered by her own Frankenstein-like creation." Although he is probably not a true doctor, Doc may be an example. Also there was a Season 6 villain called "The Doctor" who dealt in transporting violent demons. It turned out to be Spike. |

The rather ironically-named Dietrich "Medic" Luzweit in Dino Attack RPG would certainly qualify, being an unstable doctor who nearly lost his medical license after somehow removing a patient's skeleton. The only thing that kept him in action was the fact that a mutant dinosaur apocalypse had just started and there was a desperate need for people with medical training. Averted by just about every other medic in the RPG, though. | |

Battleborn: With a background of having graduated from Archsciences Academy at the young age of 14, Dr. Beatrix Lucavi is an amoral scientist with a penchant for experimenting on living things. The moniker used by Thaddeus from the DLC Story Operation "Toby's Friendship Raid" in the 8th playthrough of the operation is Dr. Garrius Winglehopper. With the title of doctor accompanying it, the name is clearly styled after those of typical evil mad scientists and the like. Given Thaddeus' habit of constantly changing his name though, the doctor part is obviously just in name only. |

Doctor Fate from the DCU has a complicated history. He's Good in a cosmic sense, but this may or may not translate to giving much of a damn about humanity (especially in the versions where Doctor Fate is actually being possessed by a Lord of Order as opposed to simply being a person in a costume), and in most incarnations doesn't actually hold an earned doctorate anyway.note The exception is Dr. Kent Nelson, the Golden Age Dr Fate, who was an archaeologist/Egyptologist and then later also became a medical doctor. | |

Dr. Nii Jianyi from Saiyuki: so very, very evil. The lead scientist working for Gyokuman Koushou, He's actively trying to resurrect Gyumao, an action that will likely bring about the end-of-days, because he's bored. Plus, as it turns out, he's actually a Sanzo, with the power to negate existence. He's also responsible for some of the major evils in the series, such as Brainwashed Kougaiji and Kami-Sama to name a few, particularly creepy, examples. | |

The EMH on the Equinox on Star Trek: Voyager. Since they removed his "ethical subroutines" he's psychopathic. Also, when they removed Voyager's Doctor's ethical subroutines, he was ready to gleefully remove Seven of Nine's brain. This wouldn't be so bad, but he has a crush on her. | |

Mega Man: Dr. Albert W. Wily: Evil, but his creation Zero wound up fighting for the side of good. The classic series likes to play with this. Dr. Wily plays it straight, Dr. Cossack subverts it because he was blackmailed into it by Dr. Wily kidnapping his daughter, and Dr. Light not only outright inverts it, but he serves as Dr. Wily's good counterpart. Mega Man Zero: Dr. Weil: Waaaay more evil than Wily could ever hope to be. Definitely among the most evil on this list. |

Dr. Balfour and Dr. Neis from Tales of the Abyss, who between them created fomicry in the form we currently know it. They split sides into good and evil when Balfour who had since been adopted by the Curtiss military family and taken their surname gave up his research and declared a ban on fomicry, but Neis refused to do the same and joined the God-Generals so that he'd have the resources to continue. | |

Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen: The Doctor. "Ve must hav ze brain on ze table! Chop-chop!" Even his little assistant-bots are designed so that he takes the data they've collected by impaling them to death (a rather inefficient use of resources, you'd think.)

Relius Clover. Relius. Freaking. Clover. While never explicitly stated to have a doctorate, he is a master of science and alchemy, creating clones and Magitek weaponry. He's also a complete sociopath willing to torture people, kill his own wife and daughter and turn their corpses into living weapons, and kill God just to see what happens. He has no 'Doctor' title, but he does have another. |

"Doctor" from YuYu Hakusho (Chapter Black saga): Evil, does a Heel–Face Turn. Is also an actual medical doctor. And Dr. Ichigaki, an evil, scheming Mad Scientist. The Doctor is freaking insane when Yusuke fights him. He kills at least 10 people, slices open one of the good guys' spines, slashes another one's stomach, and is generally evil. He also controls his body chemistry so that he can stay conscious the entire time while he's unleashing killer bugs. And releases endorphins so he feels good as his arm is getting shot off. He eventually is knocked out/dies briefly but is brought back by Genkai. Because although he was extremely evil, Yusuke at this point in his moral development can't handle killing a human, although killing demons has never provoked his conscience in the least. (Later on, after his genes activate and he's a demon, he offers to go find his ancestor Raizen some people to eat because he doesn't want the old guy to die, so apparently he gets over this.) Doctor never actually does a formal Heel–Face Turn, he just gets off Sensui's psycho train and disappears into the world with a new face courtesy of his plastic surgery skills, chuckling. Later, it is mentioned in the voiceover narration that he opened a dojo dedicated to psychic surgery. |

Professor Norton Nimnul in Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers. Then again, he may actually have obtained a physics degree and gone nuts afterwards. Some (chronologically) early episodes show him trying to sell alternative energy sources ranging from animal cruelty to danger to the public. That said, some of his later inventions could have earned him a fortune, had he tried to sell them instead of using them for criminal purposes. Nonetheless, you do not want him to teach at universities. | |

Sailor Moon: Souichi Tomoe; evil, possessed, had a Tyke-Bomb that ended up on the good side. Does a Heel–Face Turn in the first anime at the end of his arc. Interestingly, the title "Doctor" has only been used in a dub, possibly to cement this trope. His official title is Professor Tomoe, both in reference to running a school but also presumably losing his original title after being shunned by the medical community for shady experimentation. | |

Lilo & Stitch: Dr. Jumba Jookiba: Self-proclaimed "Evil Genius." Not all that threatening, though. | |

Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers: Dr. Owen Negata of BETA. Casually talking about using a teenaged boy as a control for a genetic experiment will land you here. Funny thing, he's considered one of the good guys. GR could be a real Crapsack World. | |

Kamen Rider Double has Dr. Isaka/Weather Dopant, who actually modified Gaia Memories to kill their users so he could take them and incorporate them and their powers into himself later on, and Dr. Prospect/Eyes Dopant, who performed horrifying experiments on children to turn them into psychics, planned to kill the failed subjects by electrocution, and planted eyes on them to watch them and kill them if they strayed out of the village. Prospect was responsible for the Despair Event Horizon of Katsumi Daido, the antagonist of the first W movie "A-to-Z: Gaia Memories of Fate". | |
