| “ | 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 metahuman goose eggs. How about it? Ready to feel better about your own miserable lives for the next hour or so? | ” |

Notes[edit source]
- This is the only episode of the series to not include the word "patrol" in its title.
- Larry's school bus is likely a reference to the Magic Bus from "Doom Patrol Vol 2 #51".
- Cliff restored his full consciousness in September 1995.
