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.
On a mission to Tokyo, Doc accompanied Rock 'n Roll and Roadblock as they chased down a member of the Red Shadows. After the ninjas were placed under police custody, Doc returned to G.I. Joe's new headquarters Lemuria and assisted her father and Grand Slam in the development of a device capable of detecting Dire Wraiths. Curiously, as Doc Sr. scanned her with the device, it picked her up as a Dire Wraith, confusing her as she thought Slam was supposed to be an expert with alien technology. On her next mission, Doc was part of the team sent to Hohhot to liberate Inner Mongolia from the clutches of Crystal Ball and the Dreadnoks. As the team's guides led them to Crystal Ball's palace, they discovered that they'd been set up and that their guides were actually Zandar and Zarana in disguise. As the Dreadnoks attacked, Doc saved Rock 'n Roll from Ripper's knife shooting machine gun with a shield projector created by her dad and Grand Slam, unfortunately using up the device's single charge in the process. As legions of mind controlled civilians began swarming the Joes, Doc began to feel some kind of tingling in her head and urged her teammates that they get them away from Crystal Ball. As the plan changed into getting Crystal Ball away from the civilians and the team rushed out of the mansion, Doc was terrified to discover Cover Girl had yet to return with some kind of vehicle for them to escape in. After Cover Girl finally did return with a vehicle, Doc kept watch over Crystal Ball as the Dreadnoks gave them chase. Panicking as Zanzibar made a move on the Joes, Doc threw up her arms and mysteriously shot some kind of energy blast from her hands, taking the Dreadnok down. Confused by this, Doc was taunted by Crystal Ball, who found it quite amusing that she didn't even realize what she was. With their jeep on it's last legs, the Joes got out and made their last stand against the Dreadnoks before Skywarp suddenly arrived and took Doc into custody, claiming to do so on Scarlett's orders. Back at the Lemuria, Doc learned that she was taken into custody because it was discovered Doc Sr. was actually a Dire Wraith and that she had unknowingly been a Wraith-Human hybrid her entire life. Locked inside her quarters, Doc listened to Scarlett, Grand Slam, and Lifeline argue about what to do with her. Under the stress of being held prisoner, discovering she did not even know who she was anymore, learning that her father was in a coma, and now having to listen to the other three argue about what to with her like she was not right there, Doc screamed at them to stop as alien tentacles emerged from her wrists before falling to her knees and into Grand Slam's arms. After thinking it over a bit longer, Scarlett decided to let Doc out of custody, allowing her to join the team traveling underground to find the source of the giant monsters that had were attacking the surface. While new Joe recruit Salvo was concerned about Doc accompanying them, Rock 'n Roll was happy to see her.
Once underground, the team discovered a pair of small fluffy creatures that Doc was called out to scan. Once she began, however, she suddenly began hearing another shrill noise in her head, causing her to panic and realize that Dire Wraith magic was behind the sound. This sound evidently also caused the creatures to mutate into the same gigantic monsters the Joes had been sent to eliminate. When one of the 'Fatal Fluffies' smacked Spirit away, Doc was quick to chase after him to see if he was okay. Once she got to him, Spirit called her attention to the fact that Rock 'n Roll had mutated into a gigantic monster as well. Arriving to the scene just as Rock and Skywarp's clash destroyed one of the Mole Pods the team had traveled in, Doc shot her wrist tentacles out and wrapped them around Rock to siphon the Wraith magic out of his system until he returned to human form, reminding him all the while that his mistakes don't make him a literal or metaphorical monster. Taking care of him as he regained consciousness, Doc urged Rock not to volunteer for the suicide mission of detonating the bombs that would destroy the Fatal Fluffies' nest but ultimately wasn't able to convince him. As he and Skywarp prepared to go, Doc gave her comrade a teary eyed farewell hug. As the remaining Joes made their way back to the surface in a Mole Pod, the sound of a huge explosion reverberated through the cave, causing Doc to begin crying into Roadblock's chest. Doc had no chance to rest after she returned to the surface, having to almost immediately leave for The Hague to stop the Dreadnoks from breaking the Baroness and Crystal Ball out of prison. After Rock 'n Roll and Skywarp suddenly arrived to back their team up, having managed to escape the explosion at the last second, Doc was overjoyed to see Rock was still alive and embraced him after the battle. Doc was part of the Joe team sent to retrieve the Talisman and Garrison Kreiger from the Onyx facility in Buenos Aires. As the Joes approached the facility, the traitorous Centurion suddenly activated the building's automated defenses and used them to attack the team. Diving onto the roof after their transport was bisected by the building's forcefield, Doc and the others began fighting back against the Oktober Guard and Red Shadows who were led there by Baron Ironblood. After Ironblood was unmasked by Sgt. Savage as being Joe Colton in disguise, Doc noticed that Kreiger had gotten loose from his restraints. While Earth was being inducted into the Cybertronian Council of Worlds, Doc was inside the Lemuria monitor room watching the event live on television with her fellow Joes. As Starscream approached the podium to give his opening address, the ceremony was suddenly interrupted by a huge explosion followed by a massacre of Cybertronian civilians led by Baron Ironblood. As the Joes lost signal, Doc wondered aloud what they were supposed to do to stop Ironblood given that he and his forces were on a different planet. Once it was discovered Colton's base of operations was a bunker in the Swiss Alps, Doc was part of the team sent to investigate it. Though she was easily able to hack open the entrance, the next door they encountered had much more troublesome encryption that she was only able to bypass after Scarlett correctly guessed the proper code. After reaching Colton's office, a trap in the form of hundreds of Red Shadows was sprung on the Joes. As they fought their way back out, Doc began to hear some kind of ticking sound that indicated to Scarlett that the entire base was actually wired to explode.
