"Lost causes aren't lost if there's someone to fight for them."

- Rita Farr

Rita Vivian Farr, born Gertrude "Gertie" Cramp, is a renowned actress in the 1950s who was exposed to an unknown toxin who transformed her body cells, giving her abilities to elasticize and contort her body. Farr is also the daughter of Vance and Addie Cramp.

For decades, Farr lived under the care of Niles Caulder in Doom Manor as Elasti-Woman, where she slowly recovered to gain control over her abilities. Unfortunately, she did not succeed despite working extensively for decades. She eventually joined forces with other residents in the manor and formed a team against Mister Nobody. After Nobody's defeat, Farr began to develop a higher self esteem and faced her past traumas, becoming The Beekeeper of Cloverton.

Months later, Farr hijacked Madame Rouge's time machine and travelled to 1917, joining the Sisterhood of Dada with her memories disappeared. She lived in an unfamiliar time period for decades as Bendy and began a relationship with Malcolm DuPont, though turned to oppose De Mille after she betrayed the sisterhood. Farr returned to 2021 soon afterwards, forcing her team against De Mille. In the end, Farr decided to work with De Mille to lead the vigilante team Doom Patrol, as coined by Cliff Steele.
