Pilot (Doom Patrol)

"Ready for a story about superheroes? Ugh. More TV Superheroes. Just what the world needs. Be honest, have you hung yourself yet? Or what if I told you this was actually a story about super-zeroes? Loser, achingly pathetic meta-human goose eggs. How about it? Ready to feel better about your own miserable lives for the next hour or so?"

- Mr. Nobody
