Doctor Druid was a psychiatrist who was attracted to the mystic arts. After being trained by a Tibetan Lama, Druid gained mastery over some mystic arts.
Druid obtained his psychiatry degree from Harvard but soon became interested in the occult. He spent most of his time studying the occult and gave psychiatry lectures on the side. He was soon contacted by a sick Tibetan Lama seeking treatment. In actuality this Lama was the the Ancient One seeking a successor for the mantle of Sorcerer Supreme. Druid was taught some magical abilities by the Ancient One, but he was soon overshadowed by Doctor Strange. Druid later joined the Monster Hunters to help them defeat the Deviants. He then played a major role in drawing the Masters of Evil out of the Avengers Mansion so that the Avengers could retake it. This granted him membership within the Avengers. His membership was soon threatened when he was possessed by Terminatrix. During this time the Avengers were manipulated to elect Druid as chairman and locate the ultimate weapon that Terminatrix was searching for. Druid and Terminatrix were banished to Limbo. Druid eventually escaped after regaining control of himself and upon exiting Limbo he was younger and revitalized. Doctor Strange soon recruited Druid for the Secret Defenders and he led them for a short time. During this time he was subjected to mind control by the demon Slorioth. After the demon was defeated this team disbanded when Druid faked his death. He was later empowered by Celtic Druid Gods and gained many followers. It was during this time that he was confronted by Hellstorm. Druid was no match for Hellstorm and he was killed, this time for real. Following this he briefly served in the Legion of the Unliving under the Grim Reaper. When he rebelled he was sent back to the afterlife.
His powers include some sorcery but most of his spells require long rituals and would not be used in battle. He is also able to detect the use of any type of magic and track it to its user. He possesses some degree of telepathy and telekinesis and he is able to briefly levitate himself. After being powered up by the Celtic Druid Gods he was able to command nature, including plant life, animals and earth.
