Laura De Mille (Earth-21)

"Have you not seen my track record, people? fսcking hell. All right, let's count them off. All right? One, half-ass victory against the Butts. Two, Cliff feeling the pain of violence. Number three, fսckеd over Rita. Number four, I had Malcolm killed, which again fսckеd over Rita. Right? Mmm. Number five... I stamped innocent people... as weapons. Why? And now, I want to be good. Well, maybe I'm not good. Maybe I'm, maybe I'm just bad because everything I ever touch turns to shite."

- Laura De Mille

Laura De Mille is a former Metahuman recruiter for the Bureau of Normalcy and a member of the Sisterhood of Dada. After betraying the latter group, De Mille turned to the Brotherhood of Evil and adopted the alias of Madame Rouge, time traveling to 2021 in search of Niles Caulder's inventions before losing her memories. Due to his amnesia, De Mille befriended Caulder's creations, forming a bond with Rita Farr, before remembering his terrible past and how Rita, aka "Bendy", was a part of it, prompting De Mille to search for the retiree Brotherhood of Evil.

Determined to make amends for her past, De Mille joined the idea of ​​being a hero group known as the Doom Patrol. After seeing a terrible future by the Butts, De Mille was chosen as the team's leader, causing more conflict between her and Rita.

"Art is the only path. The only path through this messy life is paved with moments of pure expression."

In 1914, Laura De Mille became a Meta recruiter for the Bureau of Oddities and founded the Sisterhood of Dada alongside Metahuman employees Shelley Byron, Lloyd Jefferson, Holly McKenzie, Sachiko and Malcolm.

Termination
"Laura De Mille is a disloyal and self-serving cancer to be excised. It is my strong recommendation that she be terminated immediately."

At some point after her escape from the Ant Farm, De Mille's abilities caught the attention of Niles Caulder and he wrote a report on her on February 9, 1949, requesting a termination.

Arrival Imminent
In 2021, De Mille arrived to Cloverton and saw a bystander shocked about her arrival. De Mille then urinated on the ground and asked the bystander for her poster to clean up. Remembering her goal, she asked if the bystander knew who and where Niles Caulder is. Unfortunately, the bystander ran away in horror as De Mille searched for Caulder alone.

While Niles's team were bidding farewell to the Dead Boy Detective Agency, De Mille revealed her presence and asked if anyone wanted tea.
