## History

### Backstory

    Doc Kermit Frogglegg was born 30,000 years prior to the start of the Kirby Bulborb Cinematic Universe on May 9th, in Edgehedge, the homeland of the Troopari. He grew up with thousands of siblings in a swamp. His father and grandfather taught Doc how to travel in time, and also taught him how to use the Dimensional Backtravel Diamonds. When he was young, Doc was taken to Pianta Village to save him from Steveistoric and his hunting crew. It was here he met his childhood friend, Constantine. They soon became best friends. After they killed Steveistoric, Doc and Constantine moved to Edgehedge shortly before the beginning of The Troopari War. After Edgehedge was attacked by Underhut, Doc became a scientist and helped assist in defeating Underhut, as did Constantine. When Underhut and his Demon Team were defeated, Doc spent the next 30,000 years preparing for Underhut's return, building a time machine. Doc later discovered that he could teleport to any period in time instantly, without the use of a time machine or portals. At some point afterwards, Doc befriended Gruffalo Dawson and Rufus, who also assisted in the Troopari War. He later befriended Mayor Ronnie Bulborb and Doctor Pikgeorge.

### Classic Kirby

In 2012, Doc traveled to The Steve Dimension and met Steve. He showed him that Gruffalos were hunted in the past by Steve's villainous ancestor Steveistoric, and that Pikmin will be the predators of Bulborbs in the future. In 2013, after Pikgeorge went missing, Doc began to search for his whereabouts. He eventually came across Johnny, who informed him that Pikgeorge and himself had been captured by Jigsaw. Doc eventually found Jigsaw's hideout and confronted him, and after knowing Pikgeorge had been killed by him, Doc killed Jigsaw and located Pikgeorge's body. He buried Pikgeorge's body in The Steve Dimension.

## Behind the scenes

Doc Kermit Frogglegg was named after Doc Emmett Brown, one of the main characters in the Back to the Future trilogy. He was also inspired by Kermit, the mascot and main character of The Muppet Show. It was both of these characters that inspired Peter Tagg to add Kermit to his series, and thus, the character of Doc Kermit Frogglegg was born. Doc was one of the first characters Peter created for the Kirby Bulborb Cinematic Universe and appeared in Steve The Trooper, introducing himself to Steve as a "slightly mad inventor". Since then, he has become a reoccurring supporting character in the Kirby Bulborb Cinematic Universe, appearing in every series.

Doc is both an original character and a crossover character. Although the scientific part of him and his teleportation abilities are unique to his appearances in the Kirby Bulborb Cinematic Universe, Doc himself is Kermit the Frog from The Muppets. The "Doc" part of his character was inspired by Dr. Emmett Brown from Back To The Future. \*Doc shares his birthday (May 9th) with the original Kermit the Frog, who (according to The Muppet Show) was born on May 9th 1955.
