The Doom Patrol is a disbanded group of superpowered individuals created by Niles Caulder in the 1950s.
Originally reluctant to operate as "superheroes" and simply aimed to rescue Caulder from Mister Nobody, a second generation of Metahumans that he rescued stepped up and repeatedly saved the world from extranormal activities such as the Candlemaker. The team later protected Cloverton from Robotman's uncontrolled body and decided to finally work together under the leadership of Rita Farr, succeeding their predecessor and briefly operating as Doom Force.
History
Early Years
Since mid-20th century, Dr. Niles Caulder had been extensively searching for means to extend his lifespan to take care of his daughter. In his search, Caulder came across metahumans, ordinary humans who are given superhuman abilities. Caulder then provided a home for those metahumans, forming the Doom Patrol and constructing the Doom Manor for them.[1][2][3]
Doom vs. Evil
By the 1950s, Caulder's Doom Patrol, consisting of Mento, Celsius and Lodestone had became the enemy of the Brotherhood of Evil. In their countless conflicts, the Doom Patrol successfully captured most of the Brotherhood's members, though the Brain was able to evade capture, leading to Mister Nobody's rise.[2]
Fall of the Doom Patrol
In the final fight against Mister Nobody, the Doom Patrol arrived at the scene where Hot Diggity (Dog Ziggity Boom) was played continuously and the civilians were trapped in a rampage. Despite the Doom Patrol's effort, their arrival was too late and arrived after police officers were demolished as piñatas. Nobody then switched tactics, using the Doom Patrol's fears against them. This battle profoundly changed the team, making them more and more volatile and ultimately forced to be kept in a shared delusion created by Mento. For the next sixty years, the Doom Patrol lived their lives at a nursing home under Joshua Clay's care.[2]
Search for the Chief
A second generation of Doom Patrol was created when Mister Nobody returned, kidnapping Caulder and causing the town of Cloverton to crumble into a pit. The metahumans Caulder recruited while the first Doom Patrol remained dormant then decided to search for their missing leader, while remaining reluctant to take the role as "superheroes". The Doom Patrol, consisting of Rita Farr, Larry Trainor, Crazy Jane, Cliff Steele and Vic Stone, soon encountered Caulder's allies and enemies, ultimately locating him and rescuing him from the hands of Mister Nobody. Mister Nobody then conflicted with the team on Danny the Street, where his plan went wrong and led to his imprisonment in a painting, with the Doom Patrol shrunken.[4]
Candlemaker's Liberation
Soon after their victory, the Doom Patrol took care of Dorothy Spinner, Caulder's daughter formerly living on Danny the Street. Unfortunately, Spinner possessed extraordinary powers, including the presence of a deity-like being residing in her mind, known as the Candlemaker. The Candlemaker wreaked havoc in Crazy Jane's mind while the Doom Patrol tried to overcome their past trauma. Thankfully, by the time Candlemaker was liberated thanks to Spinner's coming-of-age, the Doom Patrol stood together once more at the cost of their lives.[5]
Keeping an Eye
The battle against the Candlemaker ultimately ended with a duel with Spinner. Spinner then made amends with the Candlemaker, with him undoing the deaths of the Doom Patrol. Sadly, Caulder had already passed away in the battle, leaving his team behind under the leadership of Rita Farr.[6]
