* Professor Psychoticus, Mike Barson's alias when Music/{{Madness}} were pretending to be The Dangermen.

* In ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968'', the apes tend towards Roman-inspired names, and the film is mostly sat at an ape academy of science, so doctorates abound. Among the main characters are Dr. Cornelius and Dr. Zaius, and the latter's allies include Dr. Maximus and Dr. Honorius.

* Dr. Cornelius and Dr. Zaius from ''Film/PlanetOfTheApes1968''.

* Also Dr. Cornelius from ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'', a magician though not an evil one.

* Dr. Sartorius in ''Film/{{Solaris}}''. He's not generally explicitly addressed as ''Dr.'' Sartorius, because all the men on the Solaris station are Doctors and therefore equals, but still.

* Paracelsus (1493–1541), Renaissance-era Swiss physician, alchemist, and astrologer, and the father of toxicology as a field. Already an example for his chosen name (Latin for "higher than high", or "surpassing Celsus", perhaps referring the Greek philosopher Celsus[[note]]Or more likely a Latinization of his surname, Hohenheim (German, lit. "high-home"[[/note]]), but an even more triumphant example for this page thanks to his full name: ''Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus '''Bombastus''' [[TheVonTropeFamily von Hohenheim]]''.

* [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/1895767/another-one/ Professor Odious]] from ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes''.

By some weird reason, wizards and MadScientist types often have names ending on "ius" (possibly just "us", but "ius" is just better). It makes their names sound more smartass and at the same time badass.

* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': Vaarsuvius, Aarindarius. And then subverted by Inkyrius, an apprentice baker.
** And of course Elan goes on to rename himself as Elanalicious.

* Dr. Pretorious from ''ComicBook/TheBozzChronicles'', who shares his name with mad scientist from ''Film/TheBrideOfFrankenstein''.

See also DrFakenstein and TheGreatWhodini for alternate naming patterns used by scientists and magic-users, respectively, and HerrDoktor for the German-sounding ones.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'': Dr. Byron Orpheus.

* Dr Colossus, a throwaway gag from ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.

* Dr. Viktor Capesius (1907-1985), Doctor of Pharmacy, physician and pharmacist in the Auschwitz death camp and right hand man to another MadScientist, Dr. Joseph Mengele.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'', of course. A lot of wizards have names ending in "us" : Albus, Lucius, Regulus, Remus, Rubeus, Severus, Scorpius, Sirius... It seems to be more frequent in the Pure-Blood families, though.

* Dr Igneous Cutwell, from ''Discworld/{{Mort}}'' is another non-evil wizard, and is unusual in that it's his ''first'' name that fits the trope.

* Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's OccultDetective Dr. Hesselius.
