Doctor Bong is a fictional character, a supervillain appearing in the Marvel Comics universe. He possess an advanced knowledge of genetic engineering, and his bell-shaped helmet can be struck to create a number of effects. He has clashed with Howard the Duck.
Originally a journalism student whose yellow journalism got his professor fired, his hand was severed by a miniature guillotine when performing with the punk band Mildred Horowitz, which led him in the direction to becoming Doctor Bong. How he developed his paraphernalia was never explained. He had a longtime crush on Beverly Switzler, whom he eventually married. Before he was removed from the book, Steve Gerber had intended for their marriage to last and for her to no longer be a main character in the Howard the Duck series, but when he was removed from the book, Bill Mantlo quickly dissolved the marriage and brought the series back to a position of status quo.
John Byrne later pitted him against She-Hulk, trying to uncensor sanitized violent television so that his gentically-engineered quintuplets would be raised not finding it at all attractive.
He later appeared in issues of Deadpool, where it was revealed in his initial appearance that he had given up supervillainy to obtain a PhD in psychology. His first patient was Deadpool, who came to him for treatment after the events of the Dead Reckoning story.
