"If every life is worth a penny, then some deserve to be kept."

~Doctor Elite

Doctor Elite (last name Sallows) is a member of the Flickr Fighters and the Black Ops. He is also the sworn blood brother and best friend of Multi Sharp, as well as the team's residential doctor.

Renowned for his intelligence and operational medical skills at a young age. After leaving his hometown to help his sister give birth to his niece and becoming her uncle and guardian, Sallows would go across the world after graduation in searching for himself, and spent three years away before coming home once more to embrace his family.

Noticing unusual signs around his town, he crossed paths with the the hero known as Multi Sharp, who was operating around growing in popularity, and a year later met him officially as he saved the latter from a warehouse explosion thanks to his protege Embershell, who agreed to keep her existence away and remained friends while also starting another one with a close partnership with Sharp. Over time, both became blood brothers as he assisted the hero in taking down his rogues gallery.

In 2018, Sallows was invited to join the Flickr Fighters and became the team's resident medical doctor where he could put his skills to work, but as soon as Sharp fought one of his biggest adversaries, Salient, he decided to quit alongside with the hero and help him in starting up a career up until the next year, when Sharp operated on his solo lifestyle and briefly trained the doctor himself. Sallows was indirectly responsible for taking down one of his friends' enemies, Phorus, who hunted them down after destroying his base and could not save the villain from his overloaded powers and cancer. However, he and Sharp managed to get ahold of the original Gravestein, whom Phorus modeled after.

By 2020, Sallows had returned to the FF with Sharp, as he was looking to take the Black Ops on a mission, he secretly used a drug to suppress his powers by filming himself, but the footage was sent to the team leader, Powerhouse, through unknown means, This was eventually discovered by Sharp, who grew a rift with Sallows as Embershell was alerted back for emergency. As the effects grew over, Sallows went into relapse and was hospitalized in the FF base as his friends had to work on a cure and find out the connection of his ever growing powers.

Origins and childhood
Sallows was born on December 28th, 1993. He was raised by his single mother and his older sister, Rene (born 1988) where they resided in Boston, Massachusetts. At a young age, he refused to disclose his name to anyone and developed an intrinsic personality, including his family. On his second birthday in 1995, he developed powers on a winter's eve but refused to believe it. His mother claims that their father was from Athens, Greece, and may have been born in the Arctic, but this is unknown. When Doc turned 15, his mother left home after Rene was tired of her abuse, and was left in his sister's care as she worked numerous hours to ensure his study would go on, but thanks to his intelligence, Doc went to college around 2009 and started working part time to take care of his family. He graduated in 2011 with a PhD as his mind was too advanced, skipping out 2 years of high school.

In 2012, his niece, Bailey, was born, and Doc took care of her for a while before going on a self searching journey.

Early career
The Doctor eventually traversed the world after completing his medical degree, eventually gaining knowledge of every form of medication and health. He returned home to his newly renovated home in Boston on March 2015 and started to get around family work. On May 2015, he witnessed a energy surge around his block, noticing that it may have been a superhuman and decided to investigate on his own. Over the couple of months, he was briefly approached by a vigilante who displayed the same power-set. It was quite similar to his theories or thoughts, but the Doctor decided to leave it out of the equation as he needed.

By 2016, the vigilante, who started from a small time hero to a growing one, was dubbed by the public and himself Multi Sharp, eventually crossed paths more with Doc again, confirming his suspicions of the superpowered figure half a year ago. During February 25th, on his niece's birthday, a fight broke out near his neighbourhood, involving Sharp and a villain, as the energy surge took out the streetlights and electricity. The Doctor came across a pole while trying to investigate and smacked the villain in the head, which had the latter captured as Sharp thanked him once more, before the townsfolk cheered him on for being a hero.

Around three months later on May 4th, Doc was relegated to Springfield, Illinois for temporary work, and after getting off on a late night shift, he went for a jog while witnessing and heard of the nearby sounds by a warehouse. Realizing that there was a fight going on but too late to step in, only Multi Sharp emerged victorious, as he stepped out from the dock, injured. Along with one surviving protege, Paola Gutiérezz/Embershell, who told the doctor not to tell him about her survival while he was still unconscious. This struck up a friendship between the two in secret. After the heroine left, he alerted the authorities of the cases that happened, but was unable to revive his Sharp's team and left with his wounded body.

Doc took the hero back to his home and tended him, as he realized the hero was more than what he expected. After Sharp woke, the two also underwent a friendship as Doc started to become his partner and became one of his closest allies.

Second year
By 2017, Doc had fully introduced Sharp to his own family, who were quite acquainted with each other. His niece looked fondly to his partner as a hero and decided to reveal his identity to them. Rene decided to name Sharp as Bailey's godfather, but both him and Doc agreed it was too early to settle on. Throughout this year in their partnership, they fought enemies like Faceglass, Templer and various others.

During September, Doc and Sharp were approached by a Scottish hero known as Powerhouse, who said he was building a team. Sharp agreed to the decision after a week and would remain in contact with the latter while he focused on his career of working at a small management company, while Doc complied as well.

Third year
In early 2018, Doc and Powerhouse tried to recruit Embershell to join the Flickr Fighters, but she subsequently turned them down. In the following months, Doc would assist The Professor in developing medical technologies and machines alike, helping to improve the base around. He would also tend to wounds of his fellow members when they got injured. On March 16th, 6 days after his 22nd birthday, Sharp brought his AI to life, which he named VIVA (Variable Invented Vaporware Automaton) with the help of Doc and other top minds on the team. He also started the Flickr Fighters Black Ops, which Doc joined as well.

Two months later, Sharp would come to face one of his biggest enemies--Salient, a man who claimed to be his future version and from the Flickr Scoundrel universe (which would bring awareness to the team's knowledge about other universes). Doc was responsible for assisting Sharp in hunting down Salient, using pacifist methods. However, Sharp had to face Salient one on one, and they dueled for many hours until it tired both them out. In a standoff, both shot energy at one another, causing heavy damages and wounds. Sharp emerged victorious, albeit wounded. He treated to the latter's wounds as Sharp vowed to never to make much mistakes again. He left the team by September while Doc stayed on board with the FF while on the other hand assisted Jon in managing a logistics company of 25 people since leaving the team.

Fourth year
In 2019,

Fifth year
A few months later, Doc returned to the FF base after a brief period of prolonged vacation. He resumed his power suppression injections, to which he kept on testing in his labs to the point of exhaustion. When Sharp returned after a slightly disastrous mission with the Black Ops, he was rooted out for lying as he would be taken to the medical bay. An angered Sharp demanded that Powerhouse reveal the truth fully, which he revealed that his own former apprentice, Embershell, was still around. The revelation shocked Sharp.

Personality
Doctor Elite is a humble man with a big heart, being described as a family man despite being intrinsic. He holds suspicions and theories of certain things which might or might not be true, until he could find sufficient evidence which makes him a detective of sorts.

He is also quite booksmart.

Powers and abilities
Genius-level intellect: It is suspected that, having no powers yet with this exception, Doc's brain capacity is at the fullest, which was observed by his AI creation, Viva, and Multi Sharp, his family and a few others. While looking back into the past around 1995, he was able to speak multiple languages when he was 4, develop a trauma kit at 7, creating A.I.s at 10. His IQ level is quite high, being able to develop/create machinery and medicinal resources.

Expert physician: Doc is a renowned master physician in surgery and neuroscience. His published works in college were described by peers as "extraordinary" and "far-fetched". He has saved numerous lives in his career, including friends and enemies. Across his travels, he has learnt about shaman techniques, chiropractics, psychosis, optics and much more.

Language mastery: He is known to be able to speak his native English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Spanish, French and Japanese at 4, and then learnt Korean, Swedish, German, Gaelic, Italian and a few more. He stresses that he is not that entirely of a polygotm because of trying to study old English and much languages "does have a toll" on him.

Capable fighter: Although not much of a physical warrior, Doc has learnt self defense in his travels and on his own, including Wing Chun, Tai Chi, wrestling, judo and savate.

Equipment
Doc wears a grey jacket with a red tee laced with protective material. He also wears a pair protective, cargo/hiking jeans and boots which includes a gun pouch, but due to him not killing anyone, he only carries a syringe gun in that pocket. He also carries various medical supplies in his belt, shrunk to the smallest size so it can fit him. Doc also wears a grey glove on his right hand for reasons unknown, claiming it was for medical purposes and to look cool sometimes, but it was revealed he had to keep his powers suppressed because he has a dominant right arm which manifested such powers.

Weaknesses
Refusal to break the Hippocratic Oath: Being a doctor first and foremost, the Doctor has come close to killing and unable to save lives from his first failure in a patient's car crash. He resorts to less violent methods, which is not the contrary to Multi Sharp, who also uses these methods. He opts to use the best forms of combat techniques and gadgets to prevent killing, even if forced to.

Power suppression: Since the middle of 2019, Doc has been suppressing his powers with drugs injected into his body. He refuses to believe he would take these powers to a great use.

Trivia
