In 1963, DC Comics published a book with a new kind of superhero team: the Doom Patrol. They were loners, misfits, mistrusted by the public, and led by a genius in a wheelchair. Despite obvious similarities, this team came out several months before X-Men was published by the marvelous competition, which has led to unproven accusations of plagiarism. The series was written by Arnold Drake (with an assist on the first issue by Bob Haney) and penciled almost entirely by Bruno Premiani. The Patrol first appeared in My Greatest Adventure #80 (June 1963) and continued appearing in subsequent issues. With #86 (March 1964), the book was renamed after the team. While the X-Men eventually flourished in the 1970s, initial sales of Doom Patrol died down and the original series ended quickly when Drake decided to go out with a bang and kill them all off. The last issue was numbered #121 (September-October, 1968).It didn't quite stick. Over a decade later, the team was relaunched, with all new characters reminiscent of the older ones... and it turned out Robotman survived because he was everyone's favorite anyway. The second version of the Patrol appeared in Showcase #94-96 (August-December, 1977), written by Paul Kupperberg. Sales were not good enough to get them a new title, but they went on to become regulars of the DC universe, receiving guest appearances in Kupperberg-written titles featuring Supergirl, the Teen Titans, and Superman.Doom Patrol vol. 2 was launched in October 1987, still written by Kupperberg. Eventually, most of the original team was revealed to have been resurrected in some way or alive all along, and the new book added several other characters who colored within the superhero lines and didn't quite set the world on fire. Then came Grant Morrison, who dedicated them more specifically to fighting "weird" crime and disasters. Their first Story Arc, "Crawling from the Wreckage", built up the weirdness of the comic to extremes and delved into some adult subject matter. There were cloth beings with scissor hands from imaginary worlds, a painting with infinite pocket dimensions based on various art currents, the Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E, and a friendly crossdressing street named, well... Danny the Street. Just in case you were wondering, he dresses like a boulevard. No, really. And then it got even weirder. Morrison left and, with the switchover of the book to Vertigo Comics, Rachel Pollack, more well known as a tarot expert and prose fiction writer, took over. Her run touched on similar topics of gender politics and chaos vs. order, and added new characters like Coagula (One of the earlier trans superheroines) or the Bandage People, but the book did not retain its popularity and it got canceled. The title ended with issue #87 (February 1995).Since then there have been a few subsequent revivals. John Arcudi wrote a series for twenty-two issues - the first few issues seemed like a typical "corporate superhero" reboot but this was a fake-out, and they rapidly got entangled in more typically "Doom Patrol" schemes involving characters from the previous series, corporate manipulation, a soul-stealing demon, and Chinese sorcerer spirits. Unfortunately, due to the fake-out opening issues, the series shed regular readers and was eventually canceled. John Byrne did a Continuity Reboot that had its starting point occur in the "Tenth Circle" arc of JLA (1997) and was straight superhero fare - ill-fated to begin with and eventually ended with the Crisis Crossover Infinite Crisis undoing most of Byrne's changes and restoring the team's history, albeit with the implication that Byrne's run still occurred in some capacity. To give credit where it is due, Byrne did finally manage to bring the original member (the only one who had yet to return) Elasti-Girl Back from the Dead, though. After an appearance in the Teen Titans comic and its 2003 animated series, their popularity resurged enough for them to get their new series in 2009, written by Keith Giffen (of JLI fame) who was practically begging for the position. This time, the original team was employed as a policing force of sorts on Oolong Island, the haven for mad scientists from 52, and Giffen made it clear that (in typically weird Doom Patrol fashion) everything had happened to them. Even the contradictory stuff. It came to an end with Flashpoint and the subsequent New 52 relaunch.In the New 52 era of DC Comics, Geoff Johns' run on Justice League introduced two new versions of the Doom Patrol during the Forever Evil event and the "Injustice League" arc, the first roster being similar to that of the Paul Kupperbeg era and seemingly wiped out by the Crime Syndicate (though Celsius and Joshua Clay were later revealed to have faked their deaths) and the second being closer to the original roster, but with the addition of a new teammate named Element Woman.As part of Gerard Way's Young Animal imprint at DC during the DC Rebirth era, Doom Patrol (2016) launched as the imprint's flagship book, written by Way himself. This run reinstated the team's pre-Flashpoint history and made their New 52 appearances Canon Discontinuity, with Way's run picking up from elements of Giffen's.The Doom Patrol featured prominently in the final season premiere of Teen Titans (2003), since Titans member Beast Boy was a Doom Patrol alumnus, while the Brotherhood of Evil would become the antagonists for the rest of the season. The team got A Day in the Limelight in Batman: The Brave and the Bold, fighting Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man and General Zahl. They also got their series of shorts on DC Nation which are almost verbatim adaptations of some of Drake's earliest stories. The 2019 revival of Young Justice (2010) had Beast Boy established to have been a member of the Doom Patrol before everyone else except Mento and Robotman died off-screen. After that, they'd appear in the Teen Titans spinoff Teen Titans Go!, making their debut in the sixth season.A live-action series based on the Doom Patrol premiered on DC Universe in 2019, as a spinoff of Titansnote Though they then declared the two shows take place in separate, but almost identical, continuities. One where the Chief is Demián Bichir, one where he's Timothy Dalton. For anyone other than the Doom Patrol, that would be weird. This version of the team features a classic lineup of Caulder, Robotman, Negative Man, and Elasti-Woman, but is primarily influenced by Morrison's run of the comic.In 2023, a new Doom Patrol miniseries was released, Unstoppable Doom Patrol, in which the team is once again integrated into the wider DC universe. In this iteration, the team deals with strange crises and offers shelter to new metahumans empowered by the fallout of Lazarus Planet.

Psychosexual Horror: A staple of the team. Let's recap: There's Daddy, Crazy Jane's reflection of her incestuous father, the Keysmith's phalic imagery, Terry None's gynic costume, the Codpiece's Compensating for Something, the Sex Ghosts being spectres of people who died in sexual accidents, Shadowy Mr. Evans and the SeX-Men....

The Artifact
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_13d7a65e
comment
The Artifact: Rita Farr and Beast Boy were dressing in the red-and-white costumes from their earliest Doom Patrol days for decades after the rest of the team retired them. It's all the more jarring since the loss of the outfits' "team uniform" status highlights how little relevance it has to either character as an individual. At least Beast Boy had one version featuring a paw print design. Cliff Steele's struggles with his robotic body are becoming increasingly outdated as technology continues to advance; nothing is stopping him from becoming a Ridiculously Human Robot, especially in a universe with both Fantastic Science and Weird Science in play. This got addressed a bit in Grant Morrison's run, where Cliff gets a replacement body that has the sense of taste and touch. (things go a bit odd when it decides to run around on its own afterward and gets blown up).

Darker and Edgier: The Morrison run is by far much more disturbing and surreal than the Drake run or Kupperberg run, discussing topics such as sexual abuse and the evils of the government while using fouler language. Pollack's is even darker than Grant's run, toning down a lot the Surreal Humour Denser and Wackier stuff of the Morrison Era.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The "Empire of Chairs" issue included imagery of Crazy Jane being ambushed by the horrific Keysmiths, creatures with keys sticking out of their blank faces, for the sake of "unlocking" her. With the already phallic imagery of the keys protruding from their faces and the scenes of a large group of Keysmiths surrounding Jane while they (it is said) insert their keys into her, the whole thing comes across as if Jane is being gang-raped. Given Jane's origin story (similar to the real-life Truddi Chase) this is nightmarish.

Roughly played within the Giffen series, which reveals Larry's been dead since the accident that turned him into Negative Man. Since then, it's been the N-Man entity in a variety of clones. Maybe. Because the N-Man isn't sure he's not Larry either. Or something. The whole thing is sorta fuzzy, and even Larry (or "Larry") isn't certain anymore.

Chekhov's Boomerang: In one of the earliest scenes in Gerard Way's run, there's a murder of someone in a cape, a girl lying on the ground, and a man in a suit holding a bloody brick that has the words "I'm so sorry!!!" written on it. Later on, the scene is partially explained for Casey's origin - Danny the World tells her that he was then Danny the Brick and traveling the universe with Crazy Jane when someone ambushed them and used Danny as a weapon to murder someone. This scene reappears again to start the Milk Wars, it turns out the victim was the God of Superheroes and he was murdered by Retconn so that they can take the stories of the Trinity and corrupt them.

Back for the Dead: Arani Desai, Negative Woman, Karma, and Scott Fischer of the early-80s Kupperberg era showed up in the New 52 Forever Evil (2013) event purely to be killed by Johnny Quick and Atomica. It's later revealed in Justice League (2011) that Celsius and Tempest faked their deaths and have gone into hiding just to get away from Caulder, while Karma, Scott Fischer, and two unseen members called the Negative Twins are dead. Keith Giffen's run starts by bringing back Nudge and Grunt from John Byrne's run, only for the former to be killed off. The Toy reappears 18 years after her initial few-panel appearance, only to immediately be another casualty of Keith Giffen's run when she is killed by Mr. Somebody.

Two Guys and a Girl: The original team, with Robotman and Negative Man as the two guys and Elasti-Girl as the girl. Keith Giffen's run also had this dynamic by having the roster stick to the classic formation of Robotman, Negative Man and Elasti-Girl.

Adaptational Late Appearance: The New 52 continuity has the original roster of Robotman, Negative Man and Elasti-Girl introduced in the "Injustice League" arc of Justice League (2011) as the second roster of the Doom Patrol with the majority of the Paul Kupperberg version of the team being their predecessors, when it was the other way around in the original continuity.

Out of Focus: The Brain was established in the original series as the Doom Patrol's greatest enemy, but would have his prominence downplayed in the subsequent series. He doesn't appear at all in Paul Kupperberg, Rachel Pollack and Gerard Way's runs, he makes only a handful of appearances in Grant Morrison's run, John Arcudi's run only features him in a minor two-part story that involves the current roster of the Doom Patrol having their minds trapped in the bodies of the original roster, his sole appearance in John Byrne's run is in an alternate timeline in issue 14 (specifically the Superman & Batman: Generations continuity) and Keith Giffen's run only includes a flashback cameo in issue 6 (which, to be fair, was because of the Brain and Mallah being killed off in Salvation Run).

End-of-Series Awareness: The 121st issue of the original run (which was originally My Greatest Adventure, but was retitled after the Doom Patrol six issues after their debut in issue 80) concluded the series by killing the team off and had the title on the cover read "Is This the Beginning of the End of the Doom Patrol?" Three more issues were published several years later, but they all consisted of reprints of earlier stories. The 22nd issue of John Arcudi's run has the cover titled "Exit the Doom Patrol" and has Robotman remark "I was right. We are doomed", completing the Book Ends of the covers for the first and last issues depicting the rest of the team reflected in Robotman's head. The 18th issue of John Byrne's run has the cover's title read "The End of the Doom Patrol". The 22nd issue of Keith Giffen's run had the battle end prematurely when Ambush Bug whispers something to Mr. Somebody in Veronica Cale's body, the responses implying that the comic has been cancelled to make room for more Flashpoint (DC Comics) tie-ins.

comment
Blessed with Suck / Cursed with Awesome: The whole point of the original field team; each had a horrible disfigurement or some other way in which their powers were supposedly as much a curse as a blessing. The problem is, this wasn't true of Elasti-Girl; Word of God says this is the reason she was the only member of the original team not brought back for Morrison's run. (Later runs that include Rita now compensate by endowing her with Body Horror — her body melts like wax when she's not consciously shaping it). Morrison's run made this a primary element, particularly surrounding how none of the team could function in society.

Stripperific: Flex Mentallo is a rare male example, as he typically wore little aside from a leopard-print speedo. The tendency for scantily-clad characters to be featured in superhero comics was mocked, alongside other conventions of comics at the time, in the Doom Force one-shot, where the villain Count Zero forced his sister Una to wear revealing outfits. When Dorothy Spinner asks why Una is barely wearing anything at all while her brother dresses more conservatively, Count Zero makes the unconvincing claim that his sister likes to dress that way. By the final battle, both siblings are reduced to wearing so little that Una has pasties over her nipples, she and Anton Zero have tiny coverings for their genitals and neither of them have anything covering up their rear ends.

Early Installment Character-Design Difference
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_4348c929
comment
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: When the team first appeared in issue 80 of My Greatest Adventure, Elasti-Girl and Negative Man wore solid green uniforms. By issue 89, three issues after the comic was retitled Doom Patrol, the team started using the more familiar costumes colored red and white. Mento in his first appearance wore a yellow costume and had his helmet leave the top part of his head uncovered before quickly having his ensemble changed to a black costume that only had the lighting bolt insignia colored yellow and a helmet that covered the top of his head completely. The Brain originally appeared as a generic Brain in a Jar and wouldn't be depicted encased in anything resembling his iconic skull-tank until issue 108.

Dropped a Bridge on Him: Kate was killed in a flashback by Dorothy, accidentally in the Arcudi series. Nudge and Grunt are killed and run away respectively in the first issue of the Giffen series, with poor Nudge getting Killed Mid-Sentence. Note that this is practically a Doom Patrol tradition - if the outgoing writer doesn't kill them all, the incoming writer will often do this.

Power Perversion Potential: At the beginning of the final arc of Rachel Pollack's run, Dorothy Spinner attempts to make a more libidinous use of her power of bringing her imaginary friends to life by creating a boyfriend for her imaginary friend Pretty Miss Dot. After conjuring an attractive shirtless man she names Mr. Right-And-Cool, she almost watches them canoodle before she's forced to make them go away after hearing Cliff call for her. Keith Giffen's run broke up Mento and Elasti-Girl by retconning the former as an abusive pervert who used the psionic powers his helmet enabled to force Rita into indulging his carnal whims.

Happy Ending Override
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_53c5f30e
comment
Rita and Steve had this briefly in the sixties but have suffered repeated Happy Ending Overrides. Despite a rocky start, they did end up happily married until Rita died with the rest of the patrol, which made her The Lost Lenore (Steve Dayton would later die in the pages of Deathstroke). John Byrne's series revamp in Volume 4 resurrected Rita but erased her history and instead had her get together with Cliff, which was undone by the Cosmic Retcon in Infinite Crisis to restore both Rita and Steve Dayton to a living married couple. However, in Volume 5, Keith Giffen dropped a nuclear bomb on their relationship by retconning Steve Dayton into a wicked pervert abusing his Power Perversion Potential and having Rita put him in traction by hurling him into the distance. They divorced and went un-followed up until Flashpoint brought an end to the post-crisis universe. Currently they seem to be suffering a Continuity Snarl. Rita Farr appears in the pages of Doom Patrol Vol. 6, while in the pages of Titans: Burning Rage, Steve Dayton's wife Rita has passed away.

By the events of Infinite Crisis, a Cosmic Retcon reinstated the previous runs as canon, but did not necessarily do away with the events of John Byrne's run (as Grunt and Vortex, two of the new teammates introduced in Byrne's run, still appeared during an issue of Geoff Johns' run on Teen Titans that tied in to Infinite Crisis and at the beginning of Keith Giffen's Doom Patrol run), presumably indicating that the John Byrne era now occurred without the alterations to the canon that occurred in that run (particularly, the Doom Patrol being a novice superhero team who had operated in secret prior to the "Tenth Circle" arc of JLA (1997), changing who was responsible for crippling the Chief from General Immortus to T'oombala, the shaman of a tribe the Chief once helped out who was jealous of the Chief's medical expertise, and Elasti-Girl being in love with Robotman).

"Everybody Dies" Ending
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_55cd4012
comment
"Everybody Dies" Ending: Almost every version of the Doom Patrol ends with almost all of the main team dead, in a coma, etc., as a way to make room for the next writer to do what they want. (Grant Morrison did not do this, however. Aside from the Chief, who had died already, everyone just walked into the sunset, so to speak.) And if they don't, the next writer will often do it themselves.

Zigzagged with Rita Farr, who suffered from Power Incontinence in her backstory but had a handle on things by the time the Patrol officially began; her newer, Darker and Edgier post-Infinite Crisis self is a Blob Monster trying to keep a human shape.

Enemy Mine: The original Doom Patrol was forced into this situation with the Brotherhood of Evil on more than one occasion, usually to avert the erasure of all existence or some other problem that would make world conquest by the Brotherhood kind of moot. Both Brotherhood of Dada arcs ended up this way, with the second one especially emphasizing that they didn't have to be enemies at all.

The Unreveal: While Jane has 64 personalities, each with their powers, most of those personalities and powers aren't revealed. Especially notable is that the "power" exhibited by Driver 8, the ability to navigate through Jane's mind and handle her other personalities, is a psychological mechanism, not a power at all.

Improperly Paranoid: The Codpiece's backstory showed he spent his life obsessing over his penis size and thinking women were rejecting him for it. One girl in high school said he "wasn't big enough" just to make him leave her alone (and meant big as in tall) and a woman in college only went out with him two times before he started insinuating she was dumping him because of his penis.

Losing Your Head: Grant Morrison's run features a trio of minor characters consisting of bizarre government agents known as the SeX-Men. One of them gets decapitated, but lives perfectly fine without a body. The Chief spends Rachel Pollack's series as a head on a tray of ice. Due to his brain being the only part of him that's still organic, Cliff Steele has occasionally survived having his head removed from his body and able to have his predicament solved by simply attaching his head to a new body (though the original 1960s comic did say several times that removing his head could kill him).

Theseus' Ship Paradox
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_63267b15
comment
Theseus' Ship Paradox: Grant Morrison's run had Robotman's brain destroyed by the Candlemaker near the end. He survives by having his consciousness transferred into a computer system, with Rachel Pollack's run subsequently backpedaling on Cliff Steele being fully robotic by having him given an empty, organic brain to store his memories in. The issue of whether Robotman was still Cliff Steele at this point was eventually addressed in his story in DC's Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun, where one of the ghosts of deceased Doom Patrol members haunting Robotman is himself, with his death cited as occurring when the Candlemaker destroyed his original brain.

Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: The original team was given their codenames by the press and didn't care for their "freak names". The second Doom Patrol was much more of a superhero outfit and went back to using them, but from Morrison's run onwards, when they are less of a "team" and more just a group of misfits who stick together, they usually don't bother. Many of the later characters don't even have codenames.

Iconic Outfit: One of the villains has an iconic form. The Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man is nearly always depicted with his partial Tyrannosaurus Rex morph from the cover of his main issue. Robotman's dark civilian wear of jeans and a leather jacket with shoulder pads from the Grant Morrison run made quite the impression, to the extent that he is depicted with such apparel in Gerard Way's run, the live-action TV show adaptation and the Max revival of Young Justice (2010).

Two Girls to a Team: Several rosters of the team only had two female members. Counting the genderfluid being Rebis who was created from Larry Trainor/Negative Man and Eleanor Poole merging into a single entity, the roster in Grant Morrison's run had Crazy Jane and Dorothy Spinner as the only two female members, with the alternate future one-shot Doom Force focusing on a future incarnation of the team that had an adult Dorothy Spinner as the only female on it besides Flux. Fever and Freak are the only two females in the roster of John Arcudi's run. John Byrne's run initially had a third female on the team named Faith, but she was phased out early on, leaving Elasti-Girl and Nudge as the only two females on that iteration of the team.

Token Evil Teammate: The Brotherhood of Nada in Gerard Way's run seems even less malevolent than their Dada predecessors with the very notable exception of the Brutalist who feeds on the pain and misfortune of others by beating them to death.

"L" Is for "Dyslexia": Inflicted in Grant Morrison's run by a big Government Conspiracy on a whistleblower who's writing (or, rather, trying to write) an exposé. All his typewritten pages contain gibberish. He later gains recognition as an underground surrealist writer, compared to James Joyce or William S. Burroughs.

Grandfather Clause
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_7b74adb2
comment
Grandfather Clause: It's been decades since Robotman's beefy body and Lantern Jaw of Justice were even remotely close to what a "futuristic robot" looked like, but his design is far too iconic for anyone to consider changing significantly. Robotman's destroyed original body itself is also rather obsolete as a plot device on the grounds of DC's surplus of magic and super-science.

Summon Bigger Fish: The Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. arc culminates in the summoning of the Telephone Avatar, a horrific being said to have enslaved the dead and the telephone system ever since its creation. The only way it could be beaten was for Dorothy to let out the Candlemaker to kill it for her and save her friends. After that, the Candlemaker becomes increasingly more insistent that Dorothy let him out for good.

Cliff goes on a hero spree which results in a Bad Future where Cliff has become a planet and assimilated most of the galaxy into Planet Cliff. Subsequently, Mento tried to stop Planet Cliff into his helmet, only to lose control and lead to everyone becoming trapped for years.

Breather Episode: Subverted. The arc that introduced Rhea Jones awakening from her coma had various side bits that were shaping up the final confrontation with the Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. and Flex Mentallo, but the arc itself had the main team traveling in space when all this took place. Issue #45 is a more conventional one, but still offers some Foreshadowing to the twist of the Chief being Evil All Along.

Superhero Team Uniform: The original Doom Patrol originally wore all-green uniforms in their debut in the 80th issue of My Greatest Adventure before they started wearing the more recognizable red and white uniforms by issue 89 (three issues after the comic was retitled Doom Patrol). During the Kupperburg run, the team wore uniforms with more variety in color. The Morrison run dispensed with uniforms entirely.

Stepford Smiler: Elasti-Girl is given this trait in a team-up story with The Flash. We're told that since she used to be a glamorous movie star, being turned into a "super-powered freak" was especially hard on her, and she smiles constantly in order to "look pretty" and keep others from being afraid of her. She has no idea that it has the complete opposite effect. This isn't brought up again in any other DP story; Word of God says that it took place during the team's early days (post-Byrne reboot) when Rita was still getting used to her new life. Which causes continuity problems of its' own, given that the story in question dealt with the Flash going to the Doom Patrol for help with his children's powers- who didn't show up in continuity until after Byrne's run on Doom Patrol was over.

The Anti-God: Decreator, also known as Anti-God, is the first shadow cast by God's light. Once awakened, it will unmake all existence. However, Crazy Jane points out that it's a reflection, a vibration... and therefore, can be interfered with like any other wave-form. With the help of Rebis and Kipling, they manage to set up a counter-vibration that almost completely cancels out the Unmaker so that it's now only unmaking the universe very, very slowly. One bite at a time...

Signs of the End Times: As reality begins to merge with Orqwith - In New York (probably) an enormous refrigerator falls from a clear sky, crushing a priest. In Stuttgart, all the clocks chime 15. Simultaneously. In Kyoto, four stainless-steel pyramids are found rotating five feet above the ground. In Patagonia, a library is discovered. The books it contains are unknown, unreadable. In Johannesburg, a little girl named Harriet inexplicably catches fire. In Reykjavik, three shadows come to life and murder their owners. In London, Madame Tussaud's wax figure of John Lennon begins to bleed from bullet wound stigmata. 'In Rome, in Leningrad, in Darwin... "The door flew open, in he ran - the great, long, red-legged Scissorman."' In Barcelona, when the Cult of the Unwritten Book starts to summon the Decreator - A bus full of teenagers was possessed by the Unquiet Face and driven through the Corridor of Hallucinations The Needle Children, who cannot be seen through glass, laid pointless siege to an old folks' home in the suburbs. At 11:30, there was an outbreak of spirit skywriting which continued for an hour and a half. At midnight the word 'harmony' disappeared from the vocabulary of everyone in the city. At 12:30, the Embryo Stains invaded the marrow of a nightclub owner and forced him to compose terrifying poetry. Everything blue became temporarily invisible. The rain forgot how to fall. When Flex Mentallo tried to turn the Pentagon into a circle People saw God, and thought he looked 'kind of shifty'.

That Man Is Dead: Rebis, who is a combination of Larry Trainor and Dr. Eleanor Poole. Cliff still refers to him/her as "Larry", even though Rebis denies being Larry Trainor anymore. Roughly played within the Giffen series, which reveals Larry's been dead since the accident that turned him into Negative Man. Since then, it's been the N-Man entity in a variety of clones. Maybe. Because the N-Man isn't sure he's not Larry either. Or something. The whole thing is sorta fuzzy, and even Larry (or "Larry") isn't certain anymore.

Deconstruction: Despite the word being beloved of comics critics at the time, Grant Morrison (in Supergods) maintains their run was not a deconstruction of superhero comics. Rather, it was the most traditional superhero comic they'd done at the time, it simply proceeded from a different cultural background than most comics. Instead of coming from a background of Jack Kirby, Flash Gordon, The Shadow and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Morrison started from Jorge Luis Borges, Post-Punk, Abbie Hoffman, and William S. Burroughs, and wrote what a superhero comic inspired by them might look like.

When she came back in #83, she spends her time walking around giving people fake memories, eventually trying to insert herself in the Doom Patrol by manipulating their memories to her favor, such as making Coagula think she was raped as a teenager by her husband. Only Dorothy rejects the fake memories immediately and manages to snap her teammates back to their senses.

Faux Affably Evil: Darren Jones likes to believe he's a normal guy living a 1950s sitcom-esque life with his wife in the suburbs, complete with a Laugh Track built into his house. This is the first indicator that he's a dangerously insane and hypocritical idiot obsessed with stomping out anything considered to be a "Quirk", using a knock-off version of the Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. to hunt down strange things and destroy them. Both issues he's in rapidly point out how disturbing Darren is despite how "normal" he insists he is. He engages in such activities as eating "skinless stew" (which appears to be made from blood and bugs), gouged his wife's eyes out and made her wear googly eyes, planned to use something called "love worms" on her when she pointed out that they are strange, and his boss seems to have a lava lamp head.

Same Character, But Different
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_9890e176
comment
Same Character, But Different: Grant Morrison's take on the Doom Patrol regulars, Chief, Robotman, and Negative Man. The Chief was newly depicted as an uncaring, murderous figure (compared to the original, who loved and cherished his team), while Robotman became a cynical everyman rather than the boisterous bruiser he started as. Negative Man was perhaps the most transformed of the three of them, being revamped into the tripartite figure of Rebis Steve Dayton was retconned by Keith Giffen into being a nasty pervert and Stalker with a Crush who was abusing Rita in her sleep.

Creative Sterility: During the Morrison run, the Department of Defence kidnapped Wally Sage, a young reality warper to help them conceive of exotic means of weaponry. Unfortunately, after over a decade of exploitation, Wally's ideas started to diminish with his failing health, resulting in underwhelmingly twisted creations such as bird skull-headed wraiths armed with toy boomerangs.

Eldritch Location
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_9bee1a7f
comment
Eldritch Location: Orqwith is a parasitic dimension that was created when a dictionary about it was written in a langaguage that didn't exist. It sends Scissormen to cut people from our world and bring them to Orqwith. The city itself is very bizarre, with bone buildings, surreal constructions (Such as a "weeping clock" or a machine that tracks the movement of the starts using the skull of kid) and a sickening brown atmosphere. Danny the Street is a benevolent and pleasant version of this, in fact possibly the most well-adjusted member of any incarnation of the Doom Patrol. Regardless, they are a sentient street who can teleport to anywhere they want, they feed on human emotions, can understand human language and can regenerate themself from a brick. The Pentagon (yes, really), which is filled with all kinds of messed up and horrific things that are only barely understood by the Department of Defense themselves, if at all. Of note with the Pentagon, it has repeatedly been destroyed but the next time it is seen, has been rebuilt with a new eldritch horror working within.

Canon Discontinuity: As far as Gerard Way's Doom Patrol (2016) is concerned, the team that appeared in the New 52-era Justice League don't count, and instead the series picks up an ambiguous amount of time after Giffen's series endednote Admittedly, Giffen had already rid himself of the last few old members by having Nudge sawn in half with machinegun fire and her companion Grunt run off into the wild in a panic. The Doom Patrol is relatively rare among DC titles in that it's never had a true reboot (except for John Byrne's, which rapidly got un-rebooted), and all the previous series "count" to some extent.

Period Shaming: According to Rachel Pollack's run, one of the many causes of Dorothy's dysphoria is the fact that when she started menstruating, the bullies who were already targeting her because of her apelike appearance started beating her up while chanting "Monkey on the rag!" Not helping matters was when her mother subsequently told her to her face that she should've been aborted, which was made worse in hindsight when John Arcudi's run later established that the Spinners were Dorothy's adoptive parents.

Multiple-Choice Past
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_a426ae28
comment
Multiple-Choice Past: In the 82nd issue of My Greatest Adventure, the Chief suspects that there is a traitor within his team and gives different accounts of his backstory to Elasti-Girl, Robotman and Negative Man to see which story gets leaked. He tells Elasti-Girl that he is an alien, Robotman that he was raised in a Tibetan monastery and Negative Man that he was a model student of Cambridge University. The story he told Elasti-Girl is the one that gets leaked, and it turns out none of these origins are true. John Byrne's run notoriously disregarded every preceding run by having the series star a revamped version of the team's original roster of the Chief, Robotman, Negative Man and Elasti-Girl, with new characters Faith, Nudge, Grunt and Vortex included as additional recruits. One of the changes was the identity of who was responsible for crippling the Chief. While it was originally established to be General Immortus, Byrne's run instead revealed that the one responsible was T'oombala, the shaman of a tribe the Chief once helped during a plague who made the Chief disabled out of jealousy at his medical expertise. With the Cosmic Retcon caused by Infinite Crisis restoring every previous Doom Patrol series to continuity, this presumably included restoring General Immortus to being the one who crippled the Chief.

Naked People Are Funny
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_a58e5ad7
comment
Naked People Are Funny: Fever in the John Arcudi run would sometimes have the misfortune of destroying her own clothes because of her difficulty controlling her powers, being left naked before she can get a means of covering up. In the final issue, when Robotman dreams that Doc Magnus puts the team's brains into robot bodies, Fever is upset that her new body has no clothes and desperately tries to cover herself. The eighth issue of the John Byrne run has a de-evolved Rita Farr returned to her human form and left nude in the process because she tore off her uniform shortly after becoming an ape monster while at giant size. Panicked at her nudity, she shrinks down to avoid being seen and quickly fashions a temporary outfit from a discarded tissue before she is able to put on a spare uniform. The cover of the 20th issue of the Keith Giffen run, which had diddly-squat to do with the issue's actual story, depicts Robotman, Negative Man and Elasti-Girl stranded on a rock in the sea while butt naked. The fourth issue of Weight of the Worlds ends with the villain Skarg being left naked as a result of the Secret Spandex being separated from his body, his crotch obscured by his own speech bubble and his humiliation at everyone seeing his privates being played for humor.

The Fantastic Faux
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_a58e762d
comment
The Fantastic Faux: The original iteration was a rather obvious homage to the Fantastic Four, with Robotman having super-strength and a freakish appearance as well as an orange coloring, Elasti-Girl having stretching abilities, Negative Man having energy powers and flight, and the Chief having super-intelligence, and except the Chief, all their powers came from freak accidents (later retconned as having been caused by the Chief himself.) Grant Morrison's run took this further in one issue, where an out-of-continuity story drawn in a style mimicking Jack Kirby renamed the team the Legion of the Strange (the name itself referencing Challengers of the Unknown, who were also created by Jack Kirby and are considered the Fantastic Four's inspiration), had Robotman go by his original codename Automaton as well as given a clunkier appearance reminiscent of The Thing and depicted the team wearing matching uniforms similar to those worn by the Fantastic Four with the differences of being colored green instead of blue and the insignia being a question mark as opposed to the number four.

Contrasting Replacement Character
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_ae0e2472
comment
Contrasting Replacement Character: Pollack's run introduced some of this to the characters Morrison asked her not to use. Crazy Jane's a biological woman who had been abused as a kid, had an implied hatred towards sex and was, at her best, unstable. Kate Godwin on the other hand was born a male but later changed her sex, had a relatively normal childhood but was lead to believe she had been abused, is very sex positive (She worked as a hooker at one point) and is the Only Sane Woman on the team. Rebis was an intersexual Energy Being covered in bandages who was very aloof and cold, very single minded, and had troubles with their own identity. The George and Marion on the other hand are a married couple of also Energy Beings covered in bandages who nevertheless were very affectionate, caring and friendly, and were perfectly OK with being the Bandage People.

Retcon
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_b2280b66
comment
Retcon: All over the damn place, and several tend to go with a heaping helping of Same Character, But Different. After famously dying at the end of the original title, Paul Kupperberg's work with the team undid the demise of The Chief, Negative Man, and Robotman. (Not Elasti-girl, alas). One of the wilder, and more famous, examples are the recontextualization of the group's origin by Grant Morrison at the end of their run when it turns out the Chief has been Evil All Along and not only caused the accidents that turned them into "freaks' in the first place but engineered their deaths at the end of their first comic series. This revelation was of a piece with Morrison's radically different take on the Chief who was cold and manipulative, rather than the kindly and heroic figure he was originally depicted as. Rachel Pollack's run introduced a character called the False Memory, who tries to implement several retcons to get into the team. Mostly, she hangs around Cliff and keeps granting him memories of adventures he had with Crazy Jane that never happened. George and Marion are kept idle with nostalgia-fueled memories of cookouts with George Bush Sr. and John F. Kennedy, while the Chief keeps his distance and Kate is traumatized by memories of being gang-raped. The retcons only exist within the characters' memories, which are removed thanks to Dorothy actively rejecting them because her mind is fragile enough as is. John Byrne's run dismissed the entire Doom Patrol history and rebooted the series to start all over again with the original cast of the Chief, Robotman, Negative Man and Elasti-Girl (who had been killed off in the original series and never resurrected). Geoff Johns, in an issue of Teen Titans, had the rebooted Doom Patrol regaining all their memories of their previous continuities so that all versions of the Doom Patrol (including Byrne's and Pollack's) were no longer Exiled from Continuity, although it was now unclear how Elasti-Girl and the Chief could be alive. Johns' Teen Titans run later provided a flashback in which the Chief saved Elasti-Girl by regrowing her from a surviving cells after the explosion. Then Keith Giffen's Doom Patrol series included another flashback showing the moment where Robotman was reunited with the restored Elasti-Girl. However, Giffen's run was cancelled before he could explain how the Chief had come back to life after his death in the Pollack run. Gerard Way's run re-establishes the previous Doom Patrol series as having happened, and implicitly throws aside their New 52 -era Justice League appearances.

Happily Married
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_bec0417c
comment
Happily Married: Rita and Steve had this briefly in the sixties but have suffered repeated Happy Ending Overrides. Despite a rocky start, they did end up happily married until Rita died with the rest of the patrol, which made her The Lost Lenore (Steve Dayton would later die in the pages of Deathstroke). John Byrne's series revamp in Volume 4 resurrected Rita but erased her history and instead had her get together with Cliff, which was undone by the Cosmic Retcon in Infinite Crisis to restore both Rita and Steve Dayton to a living married couple. However, in Volume 5, Keith Giffen dropped a nuclear bomb on their relationship by retconning Steve Dayton into a wicked pervert abusing his Power Perversion Potential and having Rita put him in traction by hurling him into the distance. They divorced and went un-followed up until Flashpoint brought an end to the post-crisis universe. Currently they seem to be suffering a Continuity Snarl. Rita Farr appears in the pages of Doom Patrol Vol. 6, while in the pages of Titans: Burning Rage, Steve Dayton's wife Rita has passed away. Bumblebee and Vox (former members of the Titans who joined the Patrol during the events of One Year Later) had been married happily since the 1980s, but are revealed in Doom Patrol Volume 5 to have divorced off-screen. Averted with Larry, Eleanor, and the Negative Entity. While all sharing Rebis' body and mind, their internal dialogue shows both deep anger and happiness. George and Marion (the Bandage People) are as happy as they seem with each other.

One of the wilder, and more famous, examples are the recontextualization of the group's origin by Grant Morrison at the end of their run when it turns out the Chief has been Evil All Along and not only caused the accidents that turned them into "freaks' in the first place but engineered their deaths at the end of their first comic series. This revelation was of a piece with Morrison's radically different take on the Chief who was cold and manipulative, rather than the kindly and heroic figure he was originally depicted as.

New Powers as the Plot Demands
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_c26e2b1
comment
New Powers as the Plot Demands: Crazy Jane. Justified in that she has 64 separate personalities with 64 separate powers. Not all the personalities are nice, either. One of the Doom Patrol's enemies, The Quiz, also has "Every power you haven't thought of," literally, so in order to fight her, people have to constantly think of and/or shout out a long list of all known superpowers. Unfortunately nobody can ever think of every superpower, so the Quiz has yet to be defeated in a conventional battle (that we get to see) note  In her introduction, the Japanese superhero Rising Sun beat her when she was newly emerged. He broke her arms and legs and had her chained in her underwear, so that her dirt phobia kept her from using her powers. In a new body built by Keeg, Robotman gets a new upgrade each time he does a good deed.

No Name Given: In Weight of the Worlds, issue 5, Cliff meets a young boy whose last name is "Clark". When the boy is about to tell Cliff what everyone calls him, he is cut off. It is heavily implied that "Clark" might actually be a version of Kate Godwin, since Kate's dead name was Clark. Some implications are their same green eye color, a Pride poster in Clark's room, and Clark's references to Doom Patrol's Vertigo run, in which Kate first appeared.

The whole point of the original field team; each had a horrible disfigurement or some other way in which their powers were supposedly as much a curse as a blessing. The problem is, this wasn't true of Elasti-Girl; Word of God says this is the reason she was the only member of the original team not brought back for Morrison's run. (Later runs that include Rita now compensate by endowing her with Body Horror — her body melts like wax when she's not consciously shaping it).

Nightmare Fuel: An in-universe invoked use of this trope appears during the "Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E." arc. The officials who run the Ant Farm project create the aforementioned Men by collecting the husks of the newly dead. They're then traumatized by being read to from Lucy Clifford's "Anyhow Stories," which is apparently the one thing out there terrifying enough to shatter whatever willpower the dead might still have.

Depending on the Artist: In series following the original Arnold Drake run, Cliff Steele would be lucky if his Robotman body could keep a consistent design for longer than a few issues. Dorothy Spinner's physical appearance had several aspects subject to change depending on who drew her, such as whether she wore her hair in pigtails or wore her hair down, whether she'd have hairy arms and the severity of her ape-like deformities (with Erik Larsen, Doug Braithwaite and Tan Eng Huat depicting her with a high forehead and a prominent brow, features which almost every other artist to draw her didn't use).

A God Am I: The team briefly encountered a dapper entity called "Red Jack" that insisted it was also God and created the universe. Since it was insane almost nothing it said could be taken at face value, though, except for the fact that it needed the pain to live. The Candlemaker insists multiple times that he "created all of this" after being let out into the physical world. Even the Chief gets in on it; after creating nanomachines, he says that now they have the technology to be like gods, though he admits it sounds over the top.

Bad Future: It's implied that Doom Force, a one-shot focusing on an alternate future incarnation of the team with an adult Dorothy Spinner as the only member retained from a previous roster, takes place in a future where the Chief's global catastrophe intended to raise the metahuman population while culling the ordinary humans occurred. Another Bad Future occurs in Weight of the Worlds. Cliff continued to upgrade into a planet, and Mento tries to stop him but loses control. This ends up trapping the team in a city called Goliath on Planet Cliff. Overtime Rita has lost control of her body, looking like a large bud-like creature; Beast Boy became trapped as a chimpanzee; Casey entered Jane's Underground and became trapped, with her becoming Jane's dominant and only personality; Danny disappeared; Flex became lost in space; Larry was used as a power source for Mento's helmet.

Something Person: The original team was made up of these: Robotman, Elasti-Girl, Negative Man, and later Negative Woman. As time when on, though, Cliff (who hated being called Robotman anyway, since he wasn't technically a robot) just went by his real name. Not just Cliff; Rita and Larry despised their noms de guerre too. Larry always referred to Negative Man as a separate entity, giving him orders (maybe Crazy Jane wasn't the only one with multiple personality issues?). As mentioned above, this went so far as being an Out-of-Character Alert. Typically, the only one regularly called by a codename was The Chief. Otherwise, they were Cliff, Rita, and Larry.

Younger Than They Look
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_e9db9908
comment
Younger Than They Look: Dorothy Spinner's age was initially ambiguous, with some artists drawing her in a way that she looked like an adult woman (particularly Erik Larsen in her debut during Paul Kupperberg's run and her depiction in the cover art by Glenn Fabry for the Vertigo Jam one-shot), but Rachel Pollack's run indicated she was a minor after showing her living by herself in an apartment by having Cliff tell Dorothy she was "too young" to know what the phone sex operators in George and Marion's home were doing in issue 68 as well as the recap page of issue 70 explicitly stating that Dorothy is 14 years old. It would not be until John Arcudi's run, where she was revealed to have become comatose and was ultimately Taken Off Life Support, that Dorothy would canonically reach adulthood, as it was stated that the incident that put her in a coma occurred four years prior to the events of Arcudi's run, indicating that Dorothy was most likely at least 18 years old when Cliff begrudgingly allowed her to die.

Crossover
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_eb7c34cf
comment
Crossover: The original run by Arnold Drake had a crossover with Challengers of the Unknown, which occurred in the 48th issue of Challengers and the 102nd issue of Doom Patrol, as well as a team-up with the Barry Allen Flash in the 65th issue of The Brave and the Bold. The Kupperberg run made a habit of using Superman (naturally, since he was also writing for that title), featuring a crossover with him when Robotman accidentally got a hold of Metallo's spare parts, an adventure with Power Girl fighting the Lord of Chaos Pythia, and even got visited by Lex Luthor, who was trying to force the Patrol into a desperate position to make them his pawns. The 14th issue of John Byrne's run had Robotman find himself shifting to several alternate timelines, with one of the timelines being John Byrne's Superman & Batman: Generations, where Cliff finds himself a member of this continuity's Doom Patrol and assists Kid Flash, Supergirl, Dick Grayson as Batman and Bruce Wayne, Jr. as Robin in confronting the Brain and Monsieur Mallah (the scene in question in fact being the only time the Brain and Mallah appear in John Byrne's run). Keith Giffen's run featured a crossover with Gail Simone's Secret Six near the end, with part one occurring in the 30th issue of Secret Six and part two occurring in the 19th issue of Doom Patrol.

Unbuilt Trope
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_f0e85546
comment
Unbuilt Trope: The original team - a group of superheroes (with the exception of Elasti-girl) whose powers don't just set them apart from society, but are actually severely detrimental to their health, and are nothing that any of them are proud of. They're not just rubber forehead mutants who have superpowers and maybe one distinguishing feature or two but otherwise look normal, they're all deformed. In addition, the team's kindly, wheelchair-bound leader is a Manipulative Bastard responsible for all of their current conditions, and they end up all getting killed off to save one tiny fishing town from a powerless, disabled old man from a war that ended decades ago. Sounds like a Deconstruction of the X-Men, right? Except it came out a few months earlier than the esteemed competition.

RidiculouslyHumanRobot

comment
Cliff Steele's struggles with his robotic body are becoming increasingly outdated as technology continues to advance; nothing is stopping him from becoming a Ridiculously Human Robot, especially in a universe with both Fantastic Science and Weird Science in play. This got addressed a bit in Grant Morrison's run, where Cliff gets a replacement body that has the sense of taste and touch. (things go a bit odd when it decides to run around on its own afterward and gets blown up).

Brain Uploading: After Cliff's original brain is crushed by the Candlemaker near the end of Grant Morrison's run, he survives by having a digital copy of his mind installed into his robot body. This is later undone in Rachel Pollack's run, where Cliff's inability to cope with no longer having an organic brain causes him to glitch and he isn't fixed until he is given an empty organic brain to store his memories in by the Teiresiae.

Feed the Mole: In an early issue, the press got hold of a photo of the Chief, who had kept out of the public eye. Suspecting that one of the team may have been responsible, he gives each of them a different story about his origins. When the story he told Elasti-Girl shows up on the news, he knows who the mole is. (She swears she's innocent, of course, and he believes her, but knowing which one of them was compromised gives them the clues they need to turn things around on their enemies.)

Dark and Troubled Past
 Doom Patrol (Comic Book) / int_fed93e1b
comment
Dark and Troubled Past: Played straight with Crazy Jane and Dorothy Spinner, with the former suffering sexual abuse so bad her mind fractured into sixty-plus split personalities,note She's based on artist Truddi Chase, author of When Rabbit Howls, who was sexually abused from an early age and had 92 selves. She claimed to have some psychic ability. and the latter was cruelly bullied because of her appearance and mentally traumatized by her first period. Subverted in Rachel Pollack's run. In #83, Coagula remembers a supressed memory of being joint-raped by her "husband and his friend". Kate spends the rest of the issue trying to figure out when it happened until Dorothy manages to bring her back to her senses: It's a fake memory implanted by the False Memory. Kate is outraged that the False Memory believed she was giving Kate's life more "meaning" by making her think she was sexually violated when she was a teenager.

Shown Their Work: Crazy Jane doesn't just have 64 distinct personalities, but as with real-world cases of multiple personalities, they're all shallow and have specialized niches. Most directly visible when Jane, who's developing romantic and sexual feelings for Cliff, tries to prepare him for her Scarlet Harlot personality's attempt to seduce him... only for the Harlot to almost immediately taunt and reject Cliff, who's physically incapable of having sex with her. Similarly, Black Annis, representing Jane's anger at men for her rapes, finds herself actually liking Cliff for the same reason the Harlot dismisses him.
