Doctor M.

**Doctor M.** is a doctor and recurring character in *Turtle Man and DaPhantom* who is the cousin of Officer M. and is married to Katie. He lives in Yoshi Resort and though Officer M. loves him like a brother, he is also a bit jealous of what he has achieved.

## Appearance

Doctor M. looks similar to his cousin in physical appearance but there are some differences between the two; he does not have a moustache and has pretty untidy, dark grey hair compared to Officer M‘s plain black hair. He has eyes with pale green irises and pretty thick grey eyebrows and wears a white hospital uniform with a blue undershirt, some pockets and buttons on it and also a folded collar. He also wears black glasses, a grey belt, grey and pale pink shoes and also often is seen wearing a pale grey stethoscope which he uses to test his many patients in the Yoshi Resort hospital. Since his marriage to Katie, he wears a gold ring on one of his fingers, as does she.

## Background

Officer M. and Doctor M. were both born in the faroff land of Yoshi Resort, a large yet desolated city inhabited by various species such as Yoshis. They both grew up here and went to the same elementary school, college and university; at university they both studied the healthcare course as they wanted to become doctors together but later Officer M. had dropped out of the course and Yoshi Resort University as a whole; Doctor M. went on to be more academically achieving and get all his wanted degrees. Doctor M. finished university after a few years of studying and exams, ending up with a medical degree which allowed him to pursue a career he always wanted, which was involvement in the Yoshi Resort healthcare. Whilst Officer M. was working in a convenient store around this time, Doctor M's application to the Yoshi Resort Hospital was accepted almost immediately which made him very happy, yet also made his cousin even more jealous. The cousins both had a falling out around this time and within an argument started by Officer M. out of spite towards him, he found himself blasted by a beam of light. Doctor M. had no idea what happened and after the two cousins swore that they would never speak again, Doctor M. decided to consult his mother about the light beam, who revealed to him that it was due to a unique power he had been blessed with; everyone in the family tree had their own power passed down from their ancestors, including Officer M. who likely had a power of some sort but had not discovered it yet.

Not long after this, Yoshi Resort was under attack as an enemy of the city, Victor, had begun a Cake War against the citizens. As Officer M. joined the military to fight against his army, Doctor M. also played a crucial part in the war as he was able to heal injured soldiers on the battlefield and even revive some with the help of his extensive medical knowledge and powers. During the war, Officer M. and Doctor M. met once again and the two made up, with Officer M. apologising for what he did to his cousin and Doctor M. giving him forgiveness, before he had to retreat to a small town on an island far away named Sparkville for periods of protection during the war. After the war ended, Officer M. decided to move away from Yoshi Resort permanently and bid farewell to his cousin, but promised him that he would come and visit on occasion. During this period, Doctor M. continued to serve his role in the hospital and quickly became one of it's most well known and respected doctors, and he made many new friends there whilst continuing to practice his discovered light powers in secret.

Many years later, Officer M. revealed to his friends Turtle Man and DaPhantom that he actually did have a cousin who lived in Yoshi Resort and this made the two want to go visit him, which Officer M. reluctantly agreed to do since it has been a long time since he last visited him. They visited Yoshi Resort and Doctor M. was delighted to be visited by him in the hospital since it had been so many years since they last met, and he was also pleasured to meet his new friends who came along to see him. After this meeting, the two cousins exchanged phone numbers allowing them to regularly keep in touch, and Officer M. alongside the others continued to visit Doctor M. in Yoshi Resort every so often to see how he was doing and catch up even more. One day though, the trio alongside Mort were travelling to Yoshi Resort to question Dragon Firefighter Ms. Sealy about her mysterious presence at the scene of HF Studios burning down, when Doctor M. suddenly called Officer M. to inform him of somebody who had attacked the hospital and forced everybody to evacuate. While Mort ran away the others decided to head on down to the hospital to investigate and found it completely desolate, when suddenly they were attacked by a villain who named himself the Pumpkin Punk and chased them as they ran all the way to Doctor M's house who let them come in for protection. Whilst the mayor of Yoshi Resort Max fought off the Pumpkin Punk, Doctor M. managed to heal Officer M's wounds and let them have shelter for the night in his house, but the immersion is broken after the punk finally overpowers Max and Doctor M. instructs the others to leave as he tries to fight him off himself. Later on when the Pumpkin Punk followed Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. back to The City of Nexus and was close to killing them once and for all, Doctor M. showed up and used his light powers to blast him away which weakened him a bit. His powers also helped to create the explosion which fatally injured the Pumpkin Punk, and Doctor M. was shocked after finding that the punk's true identity was the beloved Hector Flores and cried about his death.

Some time later, Doctor M. sent flowers to his cousin after he ended up in the hospital. He had met a girl there named Katie, who he quickly hits it off with and the two start going out together. Katie also had some powers just like him, but they were dark powers that could drain beings' lives compared to his light powers that could heal them, so opposites really did attract. The two of them helped the guys in Nexus to destroy a Frying Pan Lady that was terrorising the city, and then later Doctor M. and Katie joined Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. on a journey to Sparkville but things went haywire pretty quickly as they were chased across the small town by a mob who was angry at Officer M. for accidentally killing Grandpa Shed, a town hero. Later on within the *second movie*, Doctor M. alongside Katie accompany Turtle Man, DaPhantom, Officer M. and Mort back to the City of Nexus in order to find the source of a flood that was plaguing both Nexus and Yoshi Resort. After DaPhantom manages to suck up all the water in the flood, the group is confronted by the Manic Mage who uses the Amulet of Souls to steal Doctor M, Katie and Mort’s souls which leaves their vessels completely dead on the ground - only after the others manage to defeat the Mage is his soul returned to him alongside everyone else’s. Later on, he had healed Officer M. and took him to the hospital after having eaten an explosive pie given to him by an Alien whilst climbing the Bog Copper Tower at Llama’s command. Also, he later got a dog which he claims he loves a lot but that it always sits on him at night and it gets sad if he doesn’t let it.

A while later, Katie and Doctor M. decided to get married and have their wedding held in the City of Nexus so everyone there could easily come and see it, including his cousin Officer M. who he had asked to be his best man. They travelled there but had their wedding interrupted by the evil Roger who stole the Amulet of Souls and used it to steal nearly everyone’s souls. With the help of the returning Gerald, Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. managed to defeat him and restore the wedding to it’s peacefulness. Until Groovin' Grover destroyed the church, in which everyone except the newly married couple escaped; they stayed there and eat some of Snappy’s nasty cake he made for them before spitting it out. The newly weds later went on a honeymoon and left Turtle Man, DaPhantom and Officer M. in charge of his house and his new dog Grover as they had their honeymoon in Goblinsville USA. However, Doctor M’s various senses kept tingling which caused him to keep coming back to his house to see if anything was wrong but it was normal until the third time where Mort was there. As Katie had also shown up, Mort tried to clone Grover the Dog since he really liked him and wanted him as his own but his cloning machine malfunctioned and caused an explosion which spliced the dog’s genes, transforming him into a genetically powered Superdog. With Superdog choosing to stay with Mort, Doctor M. was left saddened by his dog leaving him but he decided to cheer himself up by accompanying Katie to a party that the three he left in charge of his house were to throw back in the City of Nexus.

## Personality and Relationships

Compared to his cousin who acts pretty rude and cynical on occasion, Doctor M. is a much more optimistic person who manages to see the good in most aspects of life, including people. He is very popular with a lot of friends and accomplices that he has made all across the hospital, being one of it’s most respected doctors. He is kind and doesn’t really have anybody that he hates or dislikes, having a positive outlook towards anything and is confident in people’s abilities as well as his own - there has never been a single job that he has turned down or given up on.

Doctor M. loves his cousin greatly and always has, even if Officer M. has not always shared the same respect towards him and has become envious over the years of all the things he has gotten that he has not. Doctor M. has fought with his cousin on some occasions, but pretty rarely since he doesn’t like to argue with people or have conflicts with them at all. He also has made good friends with Turtle Man and DaPhantom since he was introduced to them, with Turtle Man often making jokes to Officer M. about the stuff that Doctor M. he has that he doesn’t. More recently, Doctor M. has recently married a girl he met at the hospital named Katie and they have hit it off pretty well and have a good relationship: the two of them also both have powers and other things to relate to. He also loved his dog Grover a lot that he got recently, letting him sleep with him every night and became disheartened when he became Superdog and left him for Mort.

## Abilities

Even though Doctor M. does not really possess any physical combat skills or traits that help him in hand to hand combat, he actually does have some special powers just like his cousin, but has seemingly had them for a while and is able to control them well. These powers include controlling beams of concentrated light energy that he is able to unleash upon his enemies, burning and even vaporising them eventually which makes them very powerful. These powers can also be used to heal injured people, curing their wounds using miracle matter found within the energy that he focuses upon those he wishes to heal. Without that though, Doctor M. does also have good medical knowledge from his career, which has helped him on occasion with healing and even reviving people who have seemingly died.
