Doc is a G.I. Joe-aligned human from the 2005 IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

It can be difficult to live up to your family's legacy, especially when your father is one of the greatest medics alive. Fortunately, Carla Greer is more than up to the task! Very much her father's daughter, Doc not only inherited his codename and role as G.I. Joe's chief field medic but also his pacifism and sense of bravery as well, never hesitating to put herself at risk in order to save the lives of others. As she recently discovered, that's far from the only thing she inherited from him... As the child of a Dire Wraith father and a human mother, Doc is a hybrid of the two, retaining a human form but with many abilities common to the alien Wraiths. While this reveal has taken a toll on her and caused her teammates to distrust her, Doc has remained a loyal and dedicated member of the Joe team.

In cases where she's working alongside her father, Carla naturally tends to be referred to as Doc Jr..

Carla was born while her father was undergoing his residency at the John Hopkins School of Medicine Doc Sr. profile 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. Doc profile

When G.I. Joe was recommissioned to replace the EDC as Earth's guardians against Cybertronians, Doc was brought back onto the team. After the Space Knight Rom killed Joe Colton and several other Joes, Doc was assigned to perform an autopsy what little remained of her teammates. Though she tried to share her misgivings over whether the alien was actually hostile or not with Scarlett, her commander didn't want to hear it and told her to get back to her job. This prompted Doc to make an ill-considered joke about how little she had to investigate, earning her a fierce reprimand. The Divine Source of Liberty As she completed her investigation of the "smears" of the dead Joes, Doc reported to Scarlett that their DNA indicated that they weren't human. O Ship of State

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. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #1 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. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #2 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. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #3 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. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #4

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 didn't 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 wasn't 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. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #5 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. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #6 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 G.I. Joe vol. 5 #7 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. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #8

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. G.I. Joe vol. 5 #9

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. When Eagles Scream After Ironblood was unmasked by Sgt. Savage as being Joe Colton in disguise, Doc noticed that Kreiger had gotten loose from his restraints. Ghost in the Machine

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. First Strike #1 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. First Strike #2

Doc participated in the joint assault on Castle Destro made by G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K., and the Cybertronians Soundwave, Stormclash, and Skyburst to gain control of the M.A.S.S. Device Colton's team used to reach Cybertron. Once they reached the teleporter, Scarlett ordered Doc and Quick Kick to stay behind on Earth to tell the others where she and the others had gone and to formulate a Plan B just in case they failed to stop Colton. First Strike #3

When his first team made up of people who just happened to be around proved ineffective against the forces of V.E.N.O.M., interim Joe commander Shipwreck made Doc a part of his refined fast-response team so she could lend medical and tentacle support. After the Cobra-allied V.E.N.O.M. agents popped up in New York City, Doc accompanied her team and focused on getting injured NYPD officers out of the line of fire. G.I. Joe: First Strike After the V.E.N.O.M. agents formed King Cobra, Doc continued to hang back and urged her commander to figure out a way to take the mech down. Once they did, she joined her teammates in having a celebratory hamburger made with real beef rather than some vegan substitute aboard Lemuria. M.A.S.K.: First Strike

Doc was sent to Mexico City to stop Cesspool and his Army Ants from holding the city hostage with a nuclear bomb. On this mission, Doc had to explain to Skywarp why he had to be the same size as his allies when they were shrunken down to the scale of the Army Ants. After saving them both from a suicide bomber ant with her forcefield generator, she told Skywarp to go save Rock 'n Roll, thinking it wouldn't be in his interests to lose the one member of the Joes that was willing to put up with him. Scarlett's Strike Force #1

After the Lemuria was besieged by Mutant Cybertronians, Doc tended to Lady Jaye after she injured her arm fighting back against the invaders. While Jaye teased that Doc was keeping her from going back out because she wanted her protection, Doc scoffed that she'd seen how Jaye punched with her uninjured arm and was unimpressed. Last Stand

Hi-Tech begged for either of the Docs to be called so they could tend to the mortally wounded Mainframe. Time Will Rust

Carla Greer idolized her uncle from a young age, and followed in his footsteps. After earning her medical doctorate, she enlisted in the military and eventually joined G.I. Joe, carrying on his legacy as the team's "second Doc". Doc was rarely deployed on field duty, and spent most of her time in The Pit; she was only ever called out on emergency deployments to provide medical assistance, which made her nervous.

Doc, Cover Girl, and Mainframe were deployed to a G.I. Joe camp in La Grande Dune du Pilat to help repair a critically wounded Bumblebee. With the assistance of Bulkhead and Minerva, and a cannibalized A.W.E. Striker, the group soon got Bumblebee back on his feet in a tougher, combat-ready configuration. After a brief chase through the streets of Saint-Bertrand-de-Comminges, the team successfully captured Swindle, but realized that "Baroness" was actually her body double, Chameleon. All was not lost, however, as the intel Chameleon provided led them to a secret cybernetics lab in the Pyrenees, where they discovered that the villains had pooled their resources to construct the hybrid warrior Fusion. Cobra/Con Fusion

Doc was transported to the Apex when the evil Lord MindWaveZ merged many realities together into one chaotic realm. Along with Ironhide and Emma Goodall, the three assisted a group of heroes as they battled Lord MindWaveZ and attempted to restore their worlds to normal. Worlds Collide: Battle for the Multiverse
