Because of Dooley's limited appearances and characterization in the comics, Whigham created his own background for the character on which he said: "I don't think Dooley is a political appointee. I think I worked my way up through good hard work. I don't think I'm a politician in any respect. Dooley's got a pretty wicked sense of humor". ^[4] In the episode "Snafu", Viktor Ivchenko kills Dooley with an explosive vest. ^[5]
