The Medic's back story/theories?

[FeliClank]

One of my favorite things about Team Fortress 2 is the fact that the character's back stories have been kept somewhat secret, so fans can speculate what brought them here. Everyone always has really interesting theories and ideas, so what do you guys think Medic's story is?

[Robotic Richard Simmons]

He's a German doctor who went mad and secluded himself in an abandoned building populated by birds. He opposes the Nazi regime with a passion and in a moment of insanity, he and his birds hijacked the catering van heading to Hitler and Eva's wedding as a final ♥♥♥♥ you to the regime and left to America with Archemedes.

he was a nazi scientist who studied weapons and, after the end of the war, took nazi prototypes for guns, which he then transformed into mediguns, for whatever reason

Obviously :B1:

People /do/ often say he was a Nazi, or affiliated with them in some way. Nazis, Satan, same thing. :P

I think medic was a German doctor, who was a tad of a quack. He seems to have no care but to experiment and see what will happen. Most of his mediguns are prototypes. So is the overdose syringe gun. He even says he lost his medical li scenes to an incident involving a missing skeleton and a mysteriously disappeared doctor. One day, when medic herd hitler became chancellor, he tried to get the hell out of Germany as fast as he could. He had no car, so he hijacked a wedding van and drove off, not knowing there were doves in the back. One of the doves flew up to medic while he was driving and sat in the seat next to him. Medic named him Archimedes. So, as I said, medic was trying to escape Germany. He went back to his house, packed all the stuff he needed and drove to the airport. He was denied a ticket. He was stuck in Germany, until the war ended. During the war, medic snuck into one of the concentration camps. He disguised as a nazi scientist and was allowed to experiment on patients however he wanted (even though he hated hitler, his medical curiosity came first.). When the war ended, he flew to america with his pet doves and settled there. Years later, he was found and hired by Mann co. That is my interpretation of the medic.

The Medic is, at least, NOT a nazi. So says the developers themselves, somewhere.

i would say the medic is not a nazi, but look at one of the more recent medic cosmetics

im talking about this:http://steamcommunity.com/id/elmoiswatching/inventory/#440_2_3015850255

so medic is a crazy german scientist who's more of a phycopath then a doctor and the words "Angel Of Death" get thrown in

if you look back into nazi times you might learn about a man named Dr.Mengele, a crazy german mad scientist who worked for the nazis

what was he called by the Jewish people?

the angel of death

[Fumo Bnnuy n Frends]

well in the video hes telling the story to heavy about how he lost his medical liscense.
so by that one can conclude that the medic was a genius, but a bit loopy. He was fascinated by the human body and experimentation in general. So one day he took it too far and went into hiding. Until he heard about the job that the mann bros there hiring mercs, so he decided he could experiment with the dead bodies but instead found out working with live speciments was much more fun.
after that there was several battles and a robot invasion, the mercs were fired but he was hired again by grey mann to work with the tfc mercs and he loved it as he could work with "blank canvases"

As in, he is not currently a Nazi. Most Germans weren't Nazis anymore by the 1960's.

I'm a bit late to the party, but need I remind you the medigun's a converted fire hose?
Kritzkrieg is a modified modified fire hose.
Quick fix has what appears to be a blender attached to it.
Come on, even nazi germany wasn't THAT desparate.

It's been revealed in the 6th comic that his last name is Ludwig.
