A medicinal doctor's equivalent to a PhD is called Doctor of Medicine (abbreviated M.D.)

Doesn't MCU Jane Foster have a master's degree in astrophysics?
According to this, she has the title doctor:

Dr. Strange is an M.D., not a Ph.D. to the best of my knowledge. While it's always tough to figure out when superheroes have the time for education. I'm pretty sure Hank McCoy has a Ph.D. Probably has since before he was working at Brand (where he became the hairy Beast).

Here is an interesting article for forumers to read in case they haven't read it.
I stand corrected. Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) is different from Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D).
Professor Xavier gave Hank McCoy a PhD. As a teacher and professor, Charles Xavier may have been authorized to.
Doesn't Amadeus Cho already have a PhD? I know he is young but he is already very smart, he could have earned a degree. In real life, there are kids Cho's age who earned a doctorate.
On a related note, I'm still waiting for someone to name whatever doctorate Marvel lazily gave Sue Storm.
How can you give someone a qualification and not state what it's in? You can't say you did a good thing. How lazy.

"We live in a world of cowards. We live in a world full of small minds who are afraid. We are ruled by those who refuse to risk anything of their own. Who guard their over bloated paucities of power with money. With false reasoning. With measured hesitance. With prideful, recalcitrant inaction. With hateful invective. With weapons. F@#K these selfish fools and their prevailing world order." Tony Stark
Brian Braddock has a PhD in Physics
