I am particularly curious about Norman Osborn.

Any universe is fine, as long as you state about which universe you are answering for.

The Norman Osborn in the Ultimate Universe (1610) is listed as having a "PhD in various sciences" on Marvel's own site. He is certainly portrayed as having a direct hand in the Oz Formula that causes both his and Spider-Man's powers, although still seems to be portrayed mostly as an industrialist/CEO rather than as a scientist.

Jackal, the Spider-Man villain behind the notorious "Clone Saga," was a professor of biochemistry and has a PhD according to Wikipedia.

There is Professor Smythe, the robotics and arachnid physiology expert, who built the "spider slayer" robots to hunt Spider-Man (including one that was large for him to ride inside it and pilot it). He first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man no. 25, and he usually worked in collaboration with J. Jonah Jameson, up through his death in issue no. 191.

    Do we know he had a PhD? There are lots of “Doctors” and “Professors” in Marvel and comics in general that don’t actually have one.

  • @TheLethalCarrot What notable "Doctors" and "Professors" in Marvel don't have PhDs? (Excluding the Dr. Stark, which is not a common title)

    @Logarr - I think Doctor Doom is another. Near as I can tell Victor Von Doom dropped out of college.

    @T.E.D. If Doom's country has a college then he can award himself that title. I seriously doubt his ego would let him have less of a title than Richards so he's presumably done something.

    @Buzz An "honorary" doctorate for someone with absurdly great achievements in engineering and science. One way or another he's earned the title.
