Trauma Team International from the Cyberpunk 2077 universe
Provided you have the right medical insurance…
This medic squad will roll up, wipe out all threats in the vicinity, and have you medivaced to safety within 10 minutes or less regardless where you are in Night City.
If anyone sees them deployed, the usual response is OH FUCK and getting the fuck away from them.
IDW2005's Transformers run, from Issue 20 of the More Than Meets The Eye comic line. Also note that Megatron's a competent medic who's also an Autobot in this.
Really any space marine apothecary, but just to throw a specific example ill use fabulous bill., fabius is one of the most dangerous beings in the galaxy. Every space marine can throw hands, fabius is terrifyingly brilliant, and his main weapon, torment, causes incredible amounts of pain. He is one of the very few beings who can go toe to toe with archmagos cawl in scheming and come out on top.
Don't ask where he got his skin cape though.
HM: Kargos Bloodspitter.
Edit: how the hell did i forget Talos of the night lords!
I would also give a special mentionnto Ulrik the Slayer. Being chief Wolf Priest means he is also tje chief apothecary. But his fughting wad ferocious enough to earn his nickname and the approval of Angron.
Stragenly, I think most Apothecaries given relevance are Traitor, there are several with Fabius, Talos, and a few DG ones and the Berserker Surgeons. The two most important loyalist ones are Ulrik (that also is probably lost recognized as a Chaplain) and Corbulo from the BA. The only other Chapter with relevant Apothecaries I recall were the Red Scorpions but a bit too small to remember any characters specifically.
I have a theory that chaos gets extra character focus on apothicaries because it has a built in "why isn't out protagonist being backstabbed" reasoning - i have to imagine chaos had fewer apothicaries overall than loyalists - quite a few warbands don't have one.
That reminds me, Mater from the Cars franchise used to be a monster truck wrestler. One of his opponents was Dr. Feel Bad, and he said, “Your next stop is the hospital!”
damn can't find the panels, but just to let everyone know he managed to notice Overlord, whos been killing LITERALLY before being 'born', creeping up on him and scored a shot.
They are a healing spec that is played at melee range. Their martial art heals by dealing damage, which kicks up gusts of healing mist to help their allies.
Kabuto. He learns similar healing powers, he learns life-prolonging justsu that Orochimaru had, throws literal hands, and has full control of the Sage power.
My guy was doing competive amputation as his fighting style: aiming directly where the joints were connected to immidieatly immobilize the target before it could even react.
Then he became a straight up psychopath with a buzzsaw after taking experimental energon in prime, grinding an Innocent bot's face off because he felt like being brutal today
🎵🎵You may see only a man they call Doctor Blake, a gentle lame physician but make no mistake. When that gentle lame physician strikes his cane on the floor, in a flash he disappears and in his place stands Thor!🎵🎵
Jester Lavorre. (The Mighty Nein Series/Critical Role Campaing 2)
In the series (so far), she alings a little bit more with the stereotypical version of the party's healer.
On the other hand, the original campaing version of the character can obliterate you with both, mystical and muscle power and rarely heals her friends in battle. It got to the point that the party joke about her forgetting her helaing abilities and had to find another extra character to fill the rol of the cleric.
Because of its action-based combat systems, the Tales JRPG series employs these often enough, to give variety to its healer characters beyond the stock "white mage".
Jude Mathis (Tales of Xillia) is a med student, and also a proficient bare-knuckle martial artist:
Farah Oersted (Tales of Eternia) is a farmhand, so has experience in practical medicine and will be your primary healer before the magic systems unlock (and even then will see supplemental use because her healing techniques cast quicker than the more potent magics). Trains martial arts in her spare time, and strong enough to Judo-throw bears.
While not a specific character, the Field Medic class ends up being the most overpowered class in both games with regards to survivability and self-sustain. On top of getting AOE Heal over Time grenades, they end up either having the highest armor value, or second highest, they also have significantly reduced healing syringe cooldown and potency as they level up.
Malus Thorm (Baldur’s Gate 3) this undead surgeon operates the House of Healing in the Shadowlands. If the player chooses the right dialogue, he can be convinced to perform surgical techniques on himself, dying in the process.
Viney from The Owl House, I was gonna say Emira from the same show since she's an illusionist as well as a healer but we don't actually see her fight after joining the healing track. Viney on the other hand gets to combine healing with beast keeping magic, which she uses to fight with after being encouragd to fight by Luz. Viney also had help from her pet griffin.
