Doctor is a man who has really let his career determine his identity. Little is known about this life outside his profession. However, he does seem to have a quite an anxious and frantic and personality - often making a mountain out of a mole-hill.
Despite being named after a well-known "nearsighted-bumbling-fool" American cartoon character, Magoo's elderly appearance usually brings a sense of stability and a sort of "wisdom that comes with age" authority to his roles.
Probably Osamu Tezuka's most reliable "go-to" Star to play a scientist of a doctor. He is generally a friendly and competent researcher concerned with the welfare of mankind. He will often be the one to make a great discovery pertinent to a crisis, even to the salvation of mankind, and yet be disregarded as a crackpot by the rest of the scientific community. However, at other times he serves as a voice of sage wisdom - including somewhat famously lecturing Black Jack on the significance of not underestimating the human body and the miracles of nature.
Despite his stark appearance, however, Frankenstein is no lumbering simpleton. Instead, he is another of Tezuka’s cadre of mad scientists who is a master of his trade. Often cast in leadership roles, as a scientist, a general, or a respected professor – he usually has a harsh lesson to teach.
Dr. Fooler is another of Tezuka's mad scientists. Childish, both in his appearance and in his behavior, he is nosy and pushy and often worms his way into business he should not be part of, or pushes forward ill-conceived scientific projects against the better judgment of wiser scientists.
With his distinctive look, with a large scar across his face and a streak of white running through his jet black hair, Black Jack has a rather ominous appearance. However, this gruff and heartless exterior conceals a heart of gold.
