Top Ten Comic Book Doctors #6 – Dr. Gym’ll
July 23rd, 2005
The distant future is the next stop for a comic book doctor who actually practices medicine.
#6 – Dr. Gym’ll
The multi-armed physician of the Legion of Super-Heroes (well, one of the many reboots of the Legion of Super-Heroes, anyway). Dr. Gym’ll not only had to practice medicine, but he also had to live in a space station filled with teenagers. Pity the poor man.

Love Dr. G!
None of that kindly old doctor who works the good of humanity BS for Gym’ll.
Dr. G was (is? will be?) irascible, lecture his patients mercilessly, and never treated anyone without mentioning his fee.

I sense a sharp decrease in detail in this entry.
Was Dr. G a very minor character? Did he have expertise in treating all kinds of bizarre races, or just humanoids?
Was he better or worse than Dr. Zoidberg?

The poor “man”?
Gym’ll was a repeating minor character as the Legion’s doctor. Among other things, he delivered Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl’s child during a power failure, in pitch darkness and without equipment.

Official Comment
“man” in the broadest sense (I knew somebody was going to call me on that one).

Speaking of which, if the good Dr. Zoidberg doesn’t show up in at least the top 5, I’ll never speak to you again.

Pick a mouth and open it, young lady!
