Plot Doom Patrol follows the unlikely heroes of the eponymous team who all received their powers through tragic circumstances and are generally shunned by society. Most members of the team were treated by the Niles Caulder / Chief, a medical doctor who gave them residence in his mansion to help protect them from the outside world. Their name derives from an earlier Doom Patrol team that was formed by the Chief. The first members of the Doom Patrol to be introduced in the series are Kay Challis / Crazy Jane, the dominant identity of a traumatized woman with dissociative identity disorder; Rita Farr / Elasti-Woman, who struggles to prevent her body from turning to a gelatinous state; Larry Trainor / Negative Man, who has an entity of negative energy living inside of him; and Cliff Steele / Robotman, whose brain was placed in a robot body following a car crash. The team is later joined by cybernetically enhanced superhero Victor Stone / Cyborg.
