Horace Diaz

Dr. Horace Diaz is a major recurring character in the Disney XD series Mighty Med. He is the Mighty Med hospital’s Chief of Staff and the immortal superhero Caduceo, the legendary healer of superheroes, who was born almost 3006 years ago in the year 991 B.C., and gifted with the power to restore a dead person to life five times, he used three of them at various points during his life and the fourth to save Skylar Storm's life and later Bridget’s life. He serves as the father figure of Kaz, Oliver, and the alien/former superhero Skylar Storm. He is also the uncle of Alan Diaz, the brother- in-law of the superhero Optimo, and the son-in- law of the legendary retired superhero Hapax the Elder. 
However, Horace's fate is currently unknown after Mighty Med hospital was destroyed by Roman and Riker. However, he might have survived, although Alan and Optimo's fates are unknown as well. 
Horace is portrayed by Carlos Lacámara. 
==Personality==
Horace has a goofy personality but he does possess a serious side, especially dealing with villains. He's always cracking jokes and loves bridges. He is funny and always gets the job done. He has trained for years as a medical worker to work at Mighty Med. However, his punishments are extremely Draconian--failing an exam or breaking rules are met with cubing.
Most of the time, Horace is shown to be eccentric, over-the-top, and extremely arrogant. Horace's arrogance can at times work against him, as he can be overly confident and unwilling to admit his failings. Although at times he can be uncaring, selfish and greedy, Horace is also genuinely nice and a kindhearted man, who loves family and cares deeply for Alan and also Skylar, seeing her as a daughter. Despite his childish, egocentric personality, Horace always puts the safety of his family and workers as his top priority.
==Trivia==
*Horace has many similarities to Donald Davenport from Lab Rats, as both act as authority/father figures to the main characters. Both are eccentric geniuses who are arrogant, sometimes selfish and have large egos, but are genuinely nice, care about others,, and have a strong moral constitution in spite of that. In addition, both are portrayed to be childish.
*In a way, Donald fills Horace Diaz's role as Kaz and Oliver's eccentric boss, except that they call him Mr. Davenport instead of by his first name like they did with Horace.
**Interestingly, Donald’s relationship with the boys is reverse of Horace's in that Donald is impressed with Kaz, but reluctant to trust Oliver at first, whereas Horace was not sure to trust Kaz, but was impressed with Oliver.
*He once battled and defeated the powerful supervillain Catastrophe, splitting him into Wallace and Clyde and retaining half of Catastrophe's Dyad of Nebulon. After that he went into hiding at the superhero hospital Mighty Med which was established in honor of him and was later appointed Chief of Staff of the hospital, and never told anyone his true identity.
