The original lineup of Doom Patrol matches up pretty close to the original Fantastic Four. Robot Man/The Thing, monster with great strength.

DC has been putting out some fantastic work these last few years. The pieces are all finally coming together and I am loving every minute of it.

[@donquixote2920]

So Crazy Jane is straight up DC's version of Legion

[@basedbattledroid3507]

They chose a good time to release this show; since all the X-Men films are in development hell and it gives Doom Patrol a chance to breathe and distinguish themselves. Always found them more realistic than X-Men, as in why they're all living together, they're all too odd-looking to be living among normal people, because they risk their own safety and occasionally everyone else's. Whereas X-Men just have obsessive racists, and it always confused me; how come Mutants are hated but Spider-Man's fine? Etc. Heck, if I was in the Marvel universe; I think I'd have more of an issue with the fact that you have this guy taking multiple confused, angsty teenage mutants to live in the same house with each other, pretending it's a school when it's really more of a front for a private military group consisting of mutants. Like Professor X is scouting for child soldiers to fly his blackbird or something. Meanwhile Doom Patrol have a perfectly valid reason for crashing out in a mansion. It's just as sketchy how the Chief makes them fight (although that's not really the case in the show thus far, he's more or less scolding them for being so eager to fight and expose themselves to the world), but the group itself has more mature members and you can understand they don't really have a choice, compared to most mutants who need a slight deal of training for their powers but can otherwise pass as ordinary humans. And damn, forgot Incredibles ripped off the name Elastigirl too, as well as the general premise of the Fantastic Four.

[@heidiheidiho6412]

"..how come Mutants are hated but Spider-Man's fine? How come they love Thor but not Storm? Fantastic Four acceptable but X-men no?" It's because of the premise that mutants are essentially going to wipe out non-mutated humans by virtue of evolution. Super-powered humans are still humans (yeah, that's pretty thin ice but there ya go..) And Marvel kind of addressed the whole issue of super-powered humans being a threat with the Civil War story line. Regarding the Xavier school being a school in case you're not big on the X-Men, Charles' school is a real school with a curriculum and everything, just with p.e. that's focused on how to control mutant powers, and an ethics class teaching kids that humans can be racist dicks, but shouldn't be eliminated because that would make them Nazis. But yeah, The X-Men ripped off the Doom Patrol. p.s. I'm more of an X-Men fan than anything else. I had never heard of the Doom Patrol till a few years ago, and while it made me "conflicted" for a spell, the fact that DC have been ripping-off each other for decades reconciled everything for me. ;)

[@basedbattledroid3507]

@@heidiheidiho6412 who said I wasn't big on the X-Men? I love the X-Men, grew up with the animated series, first game I owned was X-Men Legends and it still holds up today, and I like how they have a matching uniform while Doom Patrol has a lot of clashing colours in their individual costumes which is kind of an eyesore. I was just always confused by how they copped so much flak in-universe while every other super-powered character was more or less accepted by the public. Though I was forgetting about them replacing homo sapiens, kind of like they're dying off, so my bad. I guess it makes sense that the majority of heroes in the Marvel universe are human, even mutates like Deadpool, Hulk, Fantastic Four, technically Daredevil and Spider-Man. And my bad again, forgot about Civil War, ages since I read it. Not as if they're all universally loved either but I can understand more with cases like Hulk because he looks threatening in addition to being a threat, or Deadpool because he's unhinged and looks threatening without the mask (especially Ultimate Deadpool), or Spider-Man because he wears a face-concealing mask and that's at least the reason Jameson hates him so much. Although I hadn't heard of Doom Patrol until recently (probably about 5 years ago) but I instantly thought it made more sense for them to require a safe place to live than the majority of X-Men who pass for human. I mean Nightcrawler needs a place like the X-Mansion (except for in X-Men Evolution where he has that disguise thing), Cyclops needs it, moreso because he can't control his power, but the majority of X-Men only need some tutelage in how to ccontrol their power and they should be able to live amongst average people, nobody should be able to tell they're a mutant just from looking at them. Unlike the Doom Patrol who simultaneously have potentially destructive powers and look a certain way that prevents them from living with normal people. Not forgetting back in the 60s that the only employment opportunity for odd-looking people was to join a freak show and face humiliation while making very little profit. Can't imagine a lot of X-Men in that position, mainly only Beast or Nightcrawler, Angel can hide his wings to an extent. Heck, Blob was in a freak show in the original comic but only because he repeatedly demonstrated the freakish ability to make bullets bounce off of him, people didn't really even care that he was fat or had a face like a smashed pie. And yes, it's a school with real curriculum and important lessons towards mutant-human relations and it gives mutants a safe place to live, no denying that, but you know a school with an underground tunnel system and military-grade technology probably wouldn't go down that well, it's suspicious, and I could understand that as the reason why people in the Marvel universe hate the X-Men, because they say they're all about peaceful interractions and harmony between mutants and humans and teaching mutants to control their powers and giving them a sanctuary; but they have a war room. I mean, The Brotherhood are terrorists; but at least they're honest about it, they don't pretend to be a restaurant.

[@supoa9489]

@Rex Truth That's make even less sense, how can a human differentiate between a super powered human and mutant. If anything that's more reason for humans to have the same visceral detest they have for mutants, for super humans as well. Not only are they being replaced by mutants from an evolutionary point of view but numbers further are dwindling down by humans acquiring mutant like abilities. They can't accurately tell the difference. If you know anything about human nature we are judgemental and hateful. Alot people especially today only see race not a person ethincity or even nationality. The Civil War storyline mutants were never invloved, super powered being threat was forgotten never truly had any real consequences. In a nutshell its stupid, but due Marvel universe being around for so long people have just accepted it for what it is. Thats why even biggest X-men fans have eluded that the storylines has always felt separate from the rest of the Marvel universe for that reason those stories were good and highly regarded.

[@supoa9489]

@Rex Truth That was nothing to with same discrimination that mutants have faced. Civil War was about the damage super powered people can do, they still had choice to live relatively safe and peaceful life by joining Iron Man side. Once the storyline was over everything returned to the stasus quo. Keep in mind mutants never had the same consideration and mercy super powered had during Civil War. Plus its never been consistent or believable.

[@supoa9489]

@Rex Truth It's not same as the discrimination that mutants face though, that's why most times there stories are separate

OG X-men vs OG Doom Patrol

[@MysteriousTomJenkins]

If you include Chief and Charles then it gets trickier since I imagine with prep time, Chief could whip something up to deal with Charles' telepathy but without it, he and the rest of them would be rather screwed but if you exclude the leaders then I'd say Doom Patrol because while the OG X-Men do out number them, I imagine that Robot Man has enough durability and strength to deal with Beast and Cyclops, Elasti-Girl could grow to the size of a building and stomp on them and Negative Man could just release his Negative Spirit which in the first series was routinely stated to go faster than light. Of course, this is assuming its the OG groups with their original power levels, if its just the original members with their current powers then OG X-Men because they have the Phoenix who would wipe them out in a second. That's my assumption on this matchup.

Honestly don't expect much interaction (plots wise) between the multiple titles of the DCU stream service like they do on the CW shows, the latter is able to do it because most shooting schedules match since they shot it in the same place (when they don't match, they don't participate like Legend's of Tomorrow not being on the last Crossover), but specially because since the Cinematic Universe kind of imploded, they'll probably approach this one with a more "comics continuity" kind of thing (like they are doing with Aquaman, Shazam and WW84 on the movies universe), where main plots of one doesn't really take effect on the other titles (actually CW already do that, and only as a probable after thought mix the crazy plots, like Flashpoint changing Diggle's child gender) except when it is a main crossover thing, BUT episode 2 of Doom Patrol do have a quick easter egg of Superboy and Kripto on it, well "Superboy and Krypto", the easter egg actually says "Naked man with dog" but considering Titans last scene, potato potato.

You forgot to mention that negative man can only unleash his soul self for a single minute, and that if it doesn’t return to his body before that minute is up, he will die. Also, negative woman showed up in the last doomsday clock issue as part of a Russian super team, and her soul self was powerful enough to stagger Super Man for a few moments after it passed through him

I feel DC letting Grant Morrison's retcon that the Chief was always evil stick was a mistake and should be undone.

Not really, point being he WAS evil and the decision was obviously made to distance themselves from his more popular and similar competitor, Charles Xavier.

This question is on a minor point, but why did you describe Elasti-girl as a cross between 'Ant-Man' and 'Mister Fantastic' and not 'The Atom' and 'Plastic Man', being that The Doom Patrol are DC characters?

That's in an imprint so not in the canon universe

It actually is in the canon universe. They crossover with the Rebirth JLA during the "Milk Wars" event and it all happens in the same universe: Prime Earth.

@@gabrielidusogie9189 well besides they recently crossed over and their volume 3 is milk Wars as Superman Batman and Wonder Woman are in it will basically young animal is in it with the main DC Universe does make them Cannon. They also refer back to some of their old stories as well that took place in the DC Universe. My main point even if it was its own thing still stands we still see stuff with Doom Patrol consistently going to this day. After their new 52 showing we still see a current comic with them

I knew that Beast Boy was a member of the Doom Patrol ever since the original Teen Titans show. That’s how learned about them.

[@FlamingoKicker]

I'm afraid Cyborg is becoming the DC token character whenever they need more diversity (they can't use Jon Stewart yet cause...well, they haven't even gotten their act together to launch the Green Lantern Corps. already). Just make some new black characters. How come Rita Farr isn't older in the TV version? Sure she can turn into a bloated ball of stretchy rubber but would that keep her young? Also, if Robotman can't feel anything how does he know what his robot body is even doing? I mean how does he not crush anything he picks up if he has no sensors to tell him how much force to use?

[@FlamingoKicker]

It's also similar to what they did with Firestorm on the CW. They couldn't bother creating a new black character so they just changed an existing white one and said essentially that black people are nothing more than a skin color. I'd be offended if I was black.

[@gabrielp9646]

@Charles Adams Yes, superheroes with elastic powers don´t age. Its pretty established in comicbook lore. Both plastic man and the elongated man don´t age either, they are pretty much invulnerable, and they can transform their shape in Mystique style (wich explains why she would loose her form, when she is not in control over her powers) Also, Firestorm was already black in the comics when Legends of Tomorrow started. They didn´t use the same character, and created a new one (jacks), but firestorm was a black character in the comics already in 2006 or so. Your complain about Robotman is one of the weirdest Ive heard yet, tho. First: How do you know he doesn´t have any sensors..?? As an electrical engineer and a communications tech, I have no Idea about how I would create a fake sense of smell, or a fake sensation of touch, but I can imagine pretty easily how I would connect a camera to an optic nerve, or a microphone to the auditive system. Also sensors of proximity and that kind of stuff, as with modern cars, or pressure measurers. Second: Half of this episode is LITERALLY robotman trying to learn how to do everything again, from walking, to writing, for more than 30 years (as they mention with the library thing, after decades of trainning he has good enough control to grab a pen and write some things, but not with precission) Don´t you think he would have learned how to control himself, at least well enough to grab a person´s hand, in 30 years..?? Third: Would you make the same complaint about characters like Robocop, or Hal from 2001, or even Wall-E..?? xDxD About the "color" thing, I personally think you´re wrong, and being too "oversensitive" about it. If real equality is what we want, there are going to be good and bad written black characters. Some may be a "diversity thing" pushed by the studio, and others that came naturally to the writers. Just like has always happened with the white characters, and with all the famous cases of white-washing. Its like they´re saying that white people are nothing more than a skin color. I´d be offended, if I was white xDxD

[@camron147]

Gabriel P I don’t think there’s anything over sensitive about it at all honestly. For decades there has always been a “token black character” in films and shows. Never the other way around. Also the truth of black people not being able to acquire roles simply because the color of their skin, regardless if they were good or not. It’s only logical to think that this was just another one of those cases. You shouldn’t be offended, there will always be more white characters than there are black.

[@gabrielp9646]

@@camron147 Im not really sure if you understand my previous comment. First: "there has always been a token black characer in films and shows. Never the other way around" Are you kidding me..?? There are THOUSANDS of them. Generic white/blonde main characters, who can do everything right, and are there just because they´re someone´s personal image of a hero ?? Are you seriously trying to tell me there are no "token white guys" in movies..?? xDxD You can´t think of a couple main characters, or secondary characters, who are like that ? xDxD I don´t really understand the second part of your comment :S:S Im not offended, I was telling @Charles Phlip Adams he shouldn´t be offended. I don´t understand what do you mean when you tell me about black people not being able to acquire roles because of being black. I know that, I don´t really get your point :S:S And I don´t know how many white and black people there will be in future films. I don´t think male white people are a majority of the population anymore, when we talk about straight numbers. Who knows how things will evolve. Only one thing is clear: With this new wave of extremist and oversentitive people online (both SJWs and the Anti-feminists), things are going to take a step back to the 20th century for a couple years now :S:S

[@camron147]

Gabriel P My reply was based on the topic of being overly sensitive about the ‘token black’. Using examples of the struggle it used to be and still is for black people to attain specific roles in a very White - Male dominated Hollywood. My point being that there is every reason to be ‘sensitive’ about the topic because discrimination and racism itself is still alive. I may have came off standoffish only because I sensed a hint of sarcasm on your part. To answer your question, no, I can’t recall these ‘token white’ characters you speak of either because there are so many that being a black man, I missed the characteristics that would describe one and simply couldn’t relate or they don’t exist. However if it is as you say, then ‘token white’ characters and ‘token blacks’ aren’t very similar in the sense that one isn’t/hasn’t been used just to give the minority a trophy for participation.
