Doc (Carla P. Greer)
- Main Article: Carla P. Greer
Origin
Carla P. Greer is the niece of the original Doc. She acquired her medical degree from Wayne State University, and took residence at a hospital in Detroit. After enlistment, she graduated top of her class from the Army Medical Department Officer Advanced Course, leading her to join G.I. Joe. Like her uncle, she is a pacifist, but carries a special tranquilizer gun used to help sedate patients or incapacitate enemies.
IDW
Carla was born while her father was undergoing his residency at the John Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland. Feeling motivated to live up to her father's legacy rather than intimidated by the prospect, Carla received a full ride to John Hopkins University and completed her undergraduate education and med school there. She then moved to Detroit, where she took a position at one of the city's most underserved hospitals. Still wanting more, Carla then joined the military with hopes of becoming a member of G.I. Joe. Receiving her invitation after graduating top of her class from the Army Medical Department Officer Advanced Course, Carla took her father's old codename Doc and became the team's first legacy member.
Around the same time she joined, the formerly secret G.I. Joe team went public as a team of "celebrity soldiers". As she prepared to go off on her first mission to the Cobra controlled town of Warrenton, Ohio, her father tried to impart some wisdom to her but mostly ended up annoying her by coming off as too fussy. As the team was en route to their destination, Doc spoke with the team's embedded blogger Hashtag and proved to be unfamiliar with the young "soldier"'s prior work. After the Joe's Skystorm was shot down, Doc received a broken arm from the crash and hid out in a basement with Hashtag and Cover Girl, the three of them having gotten separated from their teammates. Seeing a mysterious explosion off in the distance, Doc expressed hope that their teammates were the ones behind it before asking Cover Girl if she'd be able to fire on Americans if worse came to worse. After Hashtag inadvertently gave their position away by livetweeting what was going on, Doc tried to protect her from Cover Girl's fury by saying the GPS in her phone would've given them away anyways. As they began encountering the Cobra loyalist citizens that were storming the building, Doc rushed up to the building's roof with Hashtag. Passing out once she reached the top, Doc was concerned she was hallucinating when the first thing she saw after waking up was a drone calling out to her in Tunnel Rat's voice. Having found out where their missing teammates were hiding out and that Shipwreck was in critical condition, Doc explained the situation to her recently returned teammates and that the only safe way to get to them was by jumping from rooftop to rooftop.
