personality

A mysterious scientist wanted in his homeland of Germany, he is a very eccentric but also scarily efficient doctor who uses a vast array of high-tech medical equipment to aid his mercenary colleagues in the turf wars between the RED and BLU Teams. Amicable to his teammates, especially his best friend, the Heavy and his pet dove Archimedes, Medic is willing to indulge in all sorts of horrors to advance science, or even just out of morbid curiosity. He is a German Teutonic man of medicine with a rather tenuous adherence to medical ethics, and the primary healing class of the team, has a heavy German accent, likes to tell morbid jokes and stories, Medic is a maniacal scientist, shown to much, like the other characters, enjoy violence at great heights, as shown in his voice lines and Meet the Team video, where he keeps varying organs including a dismembered head of a BLU Spy, ready for use inside a fridge. Despite this, Medic is supportive and responsible to his own team, especially Heavy, taking the role of the only mercenary dedicated to medical expertise among them. Medic is a scientific genius; inventing the Medi Gun and Kritzkrieg, calculating how many days they have left before the "tumor" kills them, and even assisting Engineer in his experiments. His intelligence even outsmarted Satan's, allowing Medic to escape Hell and return to the living world, resurrected. He deeply cares for his pet dove, Archimedes. Although he's anything but ethical in his procedures, not even putting gloves during surgery, he has some standards, such as refusing to drink alcohol while operating.

arsenal of weapons

As the Medic doesn't possess the best arsenal for straight-up gunplay, he can typically be found near the front-lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of trouble. While his Medigun is focused on an ally, wounded teammates will quickly regain health, while unharmed teammates' health will be temporarily topped up. While healing, the Medic's ÜberCharge bar will fill up until the weapon begins to crackle, at which point he can activate a deadly charge that either makes himself and an ally temporarily invulnerable (when using the default Medi Gun) or gives his patient 100% critical shots for up to 8 seconds (when using the Kritzkrieg). The Medic is the only class capable of regenerating health over time; the longer a Medic stays out of combat, the faster his health will recover

Backstory

What he lacks in compassion for the sick, respect for human dignity, and any sort of verifiable formal training in medicine, the Medic more than makes up for with a bottomless supply of giant needles and a trembling enthusiasm for plunging them into exposed flesh. Raised in Stuttgart, Germany during an era when the Hippocratic oath had been downgraded to an optional Hippocratic suggestion, the Medic considers healing a generally unintended side effect of satisfying his own morbid curiosity. Based on his explanation about his past during his surgery to graft an Uberheart into the Heavy's chest, he was once a surgeon but had his medical license revoked after causing the entire skeleton of a patient to disappear. For the most part, the Medic only recently began playing a major role in the comics. In the comic Ring of Fired, the Medic is considered the best off while the rest of the mercenaries were fired, presumed to be working as a highly paid Doctor. It later becomes apparent he is now working for the Team Fortress Classic Team, who has been hired by Gray Mann to find the Administrator and kill the TF2 mercenary team. After the Classic Team killed Sniper, Medic used that opportunity to experiment on the corpse. He successfully revived Sniper even after twelve hours of brain death, and warned him about how his experiments were very expensive, so it would be a bad idea to get killed again. Classic Heavy caught him doing so and was furious, and then killed Medic's pet dove, Archimedes. Medic was able to revive him too. Even as Medic prepared to return to the field, Classic Heavy ordered him to remain in his lab, angering the Medic. Medic rejoins his team, and when their blood is sucked out by robots, puts the blood back in. Shortly he repairs Demoman's knee (putting a little brain in there even as he did so). Classic Heavy turned up and ordered Medic to help sew the immortality machine into him, but to his surprise Medic fought back.
