When expecting trouble he is known to strap additional holsters and pockets for equipment on his upper arms. In the colder months of the year he also sometimes wears long dark trenchcoats with many hidden pockets to store additional equipment. | On his right leg he wears the holster for his customized handgun and he is now rarely seen without his walking cane.

About 6 years ago, he suddenly showed up in Millenium City, starting to sell his skills and talents to the highest bidder. During his active years in Millenium City, the Doctor worked with and against many different superheroes and supervillains, managing to survive in a superpowered world through cunning, skill and calculated ruthlessness. In total he is responsible for the murder of 7 superheroes and supervillains and the prime suspect in at least 13 more murders, along with a rather extensive list of other crimes ranging from burglary to terrorism. Despite the best efforts of law enforcement and various superheroes, the Doctor has never been detained for longer than a few days and evidence linking him to many crimes has mysteriously vanished, causing many to suspect that he has one or even several influential allies or sponsors. The Doctor's last confirmed sighting before his disappearance was at the Millenium City airport when he boarded a private jet to Canada. A list of the Doctor's most infamous accomplishments and (suspected) victims can be found below. | About 6 years ago, he suddenly showed up in Millenium City, starting to sell his skills and talents to the highest bidder.

* '''Royal Mile, Edinburgh:''' The Doctor is confirmed to be responsible for the murder of the British vigilante Mr. Grey. Mr. Grey was found with his neck broken on the roof of a commercial building on Edinburgh's Royal Mile. Residents reported explosions several loud coming from inside the building. Mr. Grey was seen entering the building a couple minutes later. Most CCTV cameras had been damaged by the explosions, but a few seconds of blurry footage confirms a fight between the vigilante and the Doctor. The commercial building was scheduled for demolition afterwards and the property bought by an ARGENT subsidiary. | * '''Royal Mile, Edinburgh:''' The Doctor is confirmed to be responsible for the murder of the British vigilante Mr. Grey.

* '''Las Vegas, Nevada:''' The Doctor is one of the prime suspects for the massacre that took place during the wedding of Las Vegas superhero Chevalier and his bride Melissa Wyatt. Both bride and groom were found killed in the garage of the Seraph Gate Hotel and Casino after several fights between two unknown assailants, Chevalier, his best friend and Las Vegas vigilante Night Stalker and the security personnel broke out. The couple seems to have been killed by Chevalier's own questionite saber. Both assailants fled the scene unimpeded and Night Stalker has also disappeared since then. Investigation by the local authorities show an entry in the guest list of the wedding: Dr. Hugo M. Locke. | * '''Las Vegas, Nevada:''' The Doctor is one of the prime suspects for the massacre that took place during the wedding of Las Vegas superhero Chevalier and his bride Melissa Wyatt.

* '''St. Jameson Docks, Westside:''' The Doctor and a large group of Men In White were seen assaulting a private freighter on the St. Jameson Docks. A vicious shootout between the Men In White and a group of black-clad paramilitary personnel defending the freighter broke out. A team of heroes investigating the disturbance was able to break up the fight, only to discover that the freighter contained a massive shipment of drugs, weapons and other illegal goods. The heroes were also attacked by the Chinese terrorist supervillain Xing Tian, who apparently tried to protect said shipment. While the team of heroes managed to defeat Xing Tian and his men and secure the freighter, the Doctor's involvement with Xing Tian and his mysterious employer, the Golden Dragon remains unclear. The Doctor and the Men In White managed to leave the scene shortly after Xing Tian was apprehended. | * '''St. Jameson Docks, Westside:''' The Doctor and a large group of Men In White were seen assaulting a private freighter on the St. Jameson Docks.

And then there is of course the little but important detail that the Doctor is insane. While he is better than most supervillains at hiding it and keeping his more excentric side in check, there is no doubt that several screws in the Doctor's head are just a bit loose. First there is the above mentioned superiority complex which is directly responsible for his actions as a criminal and scientist: If other people were as skilled and intelligent as he is, they could easily prevent themselves from any harm caused by him and his actions, which means everything that happens to them is their own fault. However, the Doctor understands and accepts the common perceptions of what is right and wrong; he simply chooses to ignore it when it is convenient for him. He has no compulsive need to kill (in fact he prefers not to, as unnecessary deaths clearly show that your plan was not flawless), but absolutely zero qualms about doing so. | And then there is of course the little but important detail that the Doctor is insane.

The Men In White are the Doctor's growing criminal organization. While they are currently mostly operating as a street gang in Westside of Millenium City, they are growing rapidly in both numbers and influence. They are already controlling a rather large part of the drug trade in and around the city and their superior training and equipment as well as their subtle methods and careful planning means that it is only a matter of time before they start being a national or even global threat. MCPD and PRIMUS estimate that they currently have around 100 members and rising. Their recruits usually come from other street gangs, ex-military or ex-law enforcement; the Doctor does not want amateurs in his organization. | The Men In White are the Doctor's growing criminal organization.

This has led to some interesting choices of appearance. White tank tops, hoodies and jackets are just as likely as vests, dress shirts and suits, sometimes in daring combinations. Higher-ranking members often incorporate various medical accessories in their outfits. Scrubs, surgical masks and lab coats are the most popular choices, while nurse-inspired outfits are an obvious choice for women (Note: Despite the name, the Men In White are completely equal opportunity; in fact, the Doctor's second-in-commands are both women). Even further up the chain of command it is also quite common to find many members incorporating flak jackets, kevlar vests, utility harnesses and similar pieces of equipment into their outfits. Snow camo is a popular choice. Finally, the Men In White's current elite task force prefers combat armor and trench coats inspired by medieval plague doctors. The Men In White's vehicles and power armor - unless repainted for covert operations - are also white with red highlights. The gang symbol of the Men In White is a snake coiled around a combat knife - a parody of the Staff of Asclepius. It is found on the outfits of their members (some of them going so far as getting it tattooed along with other medical imagery), painted on their vehicles or in the form of graffiti on their turf. | This has led to some interesting choices of appearance.

The Men In White are surprisingly well-equipped and trained for being just a street gang. The Doctor has personally designed an extensive training programme for new recruits which consists of both physical conditioning as well as numerous workshops focusing on a wide variety of skills a Man In White might need in and out of combat. Weekly drills are mandatory and various supplementary lessons are available for particulary ambitious members of the organization. This has led to a high level of competence even among the lowest ranks, which often surprises superheroes expecting just another bunch of gangbangers. Finally, many Men In White have taken after their boss and started experimenting with a variety of combat drugs (a practice which is endorsed by the Doctor since it gives him a large number of volunteers for experiments), so many of their members might be much stronger, faster and durable than expected at first glance. | The Men In White are surprisingly well-equipped and trained for being just a street gang.

The Men In White's current HQ is a rather large abandoned factory site on the outskirts of Millenium City. The Doctor has made sure that it is well-secured, shielded and conceiled. Security includes numerous layers of traps, gun turrets and cameras along with heavily secured walls and doors as well as 24/7 patrols of guards. Finally a powerful cloaking field shields it from electronic detection as well as nosy psychics. The HQ includes armory, barracks, warehouses, briefing rooms, an underground hangar for the Men In White's vehicles, the Doctor's own office and various other necessities. Despite this, the Doctor has made sure that his organization stays mobile and independent of a fixed HQ. In less than 40 minutes everything of importance and value can be relocated and the self-destruct mechanism triggered. | The Men In White's current HQ is a rather large abandoned factory site on the outskirts of Millenium City.

Despite this, the Doctor has made sure that his organization stays mobile and independent of a fixed HQ. In less than 40 minutes everything of importance and value can be relocated and the self-destruct mechanism triggered. | ||

The Men In White's main source of income is the drug and weapons trade, but they are currently also expanding their operations towards money laundering, illegal gambling and similar activities. The Doctor is quick to remind any Man In White that their main goal is amassing wealth and influence. Senseless brutality and casual cruelty are very much unwanted since they damage reputations with potential customers and business partners and might bring unwanted attention to the organization. That said, the Doctor has no issue with any sort of 'crude' crime as long as it either furthers the organization's goals or helps to protect its current sphere of influence. At a practical level the Doctor encourages ambition and drive among the Men In White. Their dealers work on commission and using the Men In White's resources for personal gain is allowed (as long as it does not endanger the organization as a whole). | The Men In White's main source of income is the drug and weapons trade, but they are currently also expanding their operations towards money laundering, illegal gambling and similar activities.

Since the Doctor insists on personally designing and planning any larger scheme or operation, the Men In White are decidedly hard to track and pin down. Often they work through middle men and dummy companies and if they do not, they are exceedingly careful to avoid leaving obvious clues to their involvement (unless it would benefit them). For particulary dangerous or compromising operations the Doctor sometimes hires mercenaries or other supervillains to do the dirty work and take the fall if necessary. When dealing with other gangs and criminal organizations, the Men In White employ a policy of respectful aggressiveness. While they are continously working on expanding their influence as to not appear weak, they make sure not too rock the boat too heavily as they still lack the manpower and resources to go toe to toe with the truly big players like VIPER or ARGENT. | Since the Doctor insists on personally designing and planning any larger scheme or operation, the Men In White are decidedly hard to track and pin down.

Is a super-powered do-gooder constantly throwing a monkey wrench in your schemes? Need them taken down quietly? For the right price, (and if she's interested) Devana Hawke will take on the assignment. Not one to simply go in guns blazing, Devana will take her target down at the most opportune time. Usually when the target is at their weakest, physically and mentally. Whether it means orchestrating situations to break down heroes or get to them through their loved ones, Devana always completes her assignments by any means necessary. By now the enmity between Devana Hawke and the Doctor is something of a running gag in the supervillain community. It started when they were both still in the same business as simple professional rivalry. However a series of misunderstandings, unfortunate incidents and hurt egos turned this rivalry into a veritable cold war, which turned searingly hot whenever they saw each other. Now that the Doctor has retired from the business, they have both cooled down somewhat, but their intense dislike for each other remains. Devana will happily take on every contract which makes the Doctor's life more difficult, while the Doctor will happily try to complicate her work whenever he can do so without too much hassle. | Is a super-powered do-gooder constantly throwing a monkey wrench in your schemes?
