Mento (Steve Dayton)
Click for Civilian Look
Steve Dayton, one of the world's richest men, built himself a helmet to enhance his mental abilities and calls himself Mento. This is an attempt on Dayton's part to impress Elasti-Girl (a.k.a Rita Farr) of the Doom Patrol.

- Cool Helmet: Averted. Almost every version of the Mento helmet has looked ridiculous, psychic powers aside.

Click for Civilian Look
An Air Force pilot whose body was irradiated during a flight, Larry Trainor's body was left severely disfigured and radioactive. He gained the ability to manifest a second body, the Negative Man or Spirit, composed of "negative energy". The cost was leaving him weak and defenceless. He sees his powers as an infection and a curse, yet nevertheless served as a founding member of the Doom Patrol.
- Bandaged Face: His entire body must be wrapped in specially treated bandages to avoid irradiating others.

- Really Gets Around: He's been married to Cheryl Saltz, Valentina Vostok and Eleanor Poole. He's also the former lover of Kate Godwin and is currently dating Emily Sung.
- Reluctant Hero: All of the Doom Patrol were reluctant heroes, but Larry was probably the most reluctant of the lot, desperately desiring to return to normal.
- The Symbiote: The Negative Man and Larry are effectively symbiotes, though it seems Larry does worse out of the deal than the Spirit.
- X-Ray Sparks: A variation. Being exposed to radiation left his skin and muscle permanently translucent.

- I Just Want to Be Normal: Played with. Like the other two members of the Doom Patrol, Rita originally just wanted to go back to normal and stay that way. But she repeatedly chose not to do so, because it felt like a betrayal of her friends and because she didn't want to give up being a hero.
- Large Ham: Her acting. Also, pretty much Rita in general. Larry comments that, in order to use her powers, first she has to "emote".
- Official Couple: Married with Steve Dayton.
- Older Than They Look: She used to be an old-timey actress, got her condition decades ago, and was institutionalized for much of that time. But her condition allows her to keep her appearance from back then.

- Power Incontinence: While Rita's power seems the least maladaptive of the team, after her accident, she would have spasms of uncontrollable growing and shrinking.

- Cool Uncle: Tries to but he's not very good right now at teaching his nephew Lucius about magic.

- Unstoppable Rage: When forced into a corner or pushed to the edge, Mal can become very angry. His anger has been described as a "holy terror" to behold. This anger often reveals itself in violent outbursts. Mal hates this side of himself and will often go out of his way to avoid unnecessary stressors, which may allow him to be manipulated into situations he would otherwise avoid.
- You Shall Not Pass!: Upon striking the staff to the ground and issuing the command of "You Shall Not Pass" (Mal is such a nerd), the Gatekeeper will also blanket its surrounding area in invisible warding glyphs which match those displayed digitally on the scepter - effectively creating an occult roadblock for any beings which are warded against such glyphs.
Crazy Jane (Kay Challis)
From left to right: Jack Straw, Miranda Silvo, Jeann Pepper, Sarah Furness, Lucy Fugue, Liza Radley, Penny Farthing and Kay Challis
A woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder. As the result of a meta gene bomb, each personality has its own distinct superpower. The personality in charge most of the time is Crazy Jane.
- Abusive Parents: She was a victim of child abuse and sexual molestation courtesy from her father Jack Straw when she was 5 years old. He tried to drown her for "being possessed" when she was saved by Steve Dayton.
- Afraid of Blood:
- Stigmata a persona who once ventured into the Cathedral and now is usually found trembling in an alley between two tenements, her hands and eyes bleeding endlessly. She regularly fails to make it inside at nightfall and has gone down the wall more times than she can recall.
- Played Straight with the Blood-of-the-Lamb persona. Similar to Stigmata, this persona of Kay emerged from the well years ago covered in blood and has been unable to get clean ever since. Which is horrible for her, as she is a hemophobic. Other than that, though, she seems to be rather normal.
- Alpha Bitch: The Snow Queen as a stable, if authoritative figure. She believes herself to be a queen and expects such treatment.
- Broken Bird: Many of Jane's personalities exist only to shoulder pain and suffering, such as Sylvia, the Shapeless Children, and Butterfly Baby.
- Children Are Innocent: Baby Doll certainly acts like this.
- Composite Character: Kind of literally. Her 64 different personalities were merged into only eight.
- Dark and Troubled Past: All of her personalities stem from her years of being sexually abused by her own father.
- The Dreaded: "Daddy" or the real Jack Straw as that is noted as being the name of Kay's father and primary abuser, though Kay and all of her personalities refused to acknowledge him as anything other than "Daddy". This personality appears in the mindscape as the festering corpse of Kay's father, bloated and ugly. He is larger in the mindscape than he was in life and every year he grows larger based on Kay's only memories of him being when she was a tiny child.
- The Engineer: Also known as "Ginee", the Engineer is the train's mechanic and makes sure it is repaired every night while Kay's body sleeps. Like the Pointman, Ginee is a former driver, the fifth to be precise. After Ginee was captured by Jill-in-Irons, she was replaced by Driver 6. She was still missing when a seventh driver was needed and only escaped her captor when Driver 8, Crazy Jane, and Cliff Steele rescued her. Unlike Pointman, Ginee longs to return to the controls.
- Femme Fatale: The Scarlet Harlot identity acts this way, though she's more of a rampant nymphomaniac who goes around ranting about "Daddy" and screaming at people to fuck her.
- Flaming Hair: The "Jack Straw" manifestation has a flaming blue hair.
- The Gadfly: Does this quite often. This is done both as a sort of defense mechanism so she doesn't get close to others and for her own genuine amusement.
- Mad Artist: The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter personality can create paintings that briefly come to life. The Crazy Jane personality also has some artistic inclinations and is seen painting designs on Rebis' bandages at one point.
- Nuns Are Spooky: The nameless nun with the chainsaw. She's hard to miss. Though she is a full personality, she has never exerted control. Instead she is content to stand guard in front of the Cathedral. She seems to be the only personality that most of the predators avoid, with the exception of "Daddy".
- Personality Power: Jane's personalities all gained powers based on what their names were. Flaming Katy has fire abilities, Sex Bomb explodes, the Weird Sisters are psychic, etc.
- Physical God: The Sun Daddy, A frightening version of Kay's father and gigantic figure with a sun for a head with the power to throw fireballs and is seemingly unbeatable.
- The Power of the Sun: As the name implies, Sun Daddy can turn into a sun-headed woman who throws stars (as opposed to the flames of Katy).
- Rape as Backstory: She's very heavily implied that her father molested her as a child much like the comics.
- Rape Leads to Insanity: See above. That incident, or the subsequent implied molestations while she was experimented, made her alters tangible and now she has trouble leading a normal life.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: The "Jack Straw" manifestation has red eyes with black irises.
- Shrinking Violet: Penny Farthing when she's on the Surface, she's quite shy and shrinks into herself when confronted.
- Split Personality: She has eight separated personalities within her mind. In the comics they were 64!
- Split-Personality Team: While they may not all like each other, they all agree that they each have roles to play in order to keep the Underground stable and Kay safe.
- Too Kinky to Torture: The Scarlet Harlot a rambunctious, flirtatious, and downright nasty persona with only one thing on her mind. She is the most dominant of personas from the District. Though she prefers flirting with Cliff when she is in control, if bored, she will seek out other partners looking for a good time. And Sin-Eater, a persona with masochistic tendencies and loves pain. Jane has found her as a useful one to put in control when Kay's body is being tortured.

- Happily Adopted: By Niles and Arani and the rest of the Doom Patrol.

- Magic Is a Monster Magnet: Dorothy is a target to many psychic predators.

Click for Civilian Look

- Absurdly Youthful Mother: She's technically only seventeen years old but is the mother of a teenager thanks to their bizarre biologies and strange circumstances.
- An Arm and a Leg: Casey's lost her right leg just below the knee. She had it replaced with a cybernetic leg fashioned by Niles Caulder.

- Composite Character: Space Case is combined with Doodlebug, an evil version of herself that Danny was forced to create. Her nickname is Space Case though.
- The Engineer: Casey knows how to take care of her ambulance, including performing minor repairs. This is actually more impressive than it sounds considering that the ambulance has a vorpal engine.
- Fish out of Water: The real world is very different from the Diesel Punk comic she originates, and was not used to things like computers and very fast cars at first.
- Homosexual Reproduction: She (a vorpal homunculus created by Danny the Street) and Terry None (a cthonic homunculus created by Eric Morden) gave birth to a full-grown Mikey Milk, aka Milkman Man.

- Cat Folk: He's become a humanoid cat.
- Extreme Omnisexual: He's pansexual.
- The Hedonist: Lotion has little ambition outside of that which can lead to his gratification.

- Interspecies Romance: He's the lover of his former owners Casey Brinke and Terry None.

- Daddy's Little Villain: Mister Nobody tried to make her the world's best supervillain's daughter, but it didn't work out.
- Domino Mask: Wears a black one.
- Doom Magnet: Terry is a magnet for chaos. Bad things tend to happen around her. Before she came to Danny, she would be fired from every job she ever had after a month (often much less than that) and she was always being evicted. While living on Danny, Terry is surrounded by Danny's excess vorpal energy which has a way of interfering with her magnetic relationship to chaos.
- Hand Blast: Terry learned that, if she concentrates enough, she can shoot short bolts of cthonic energy out of her hands. This power was taught to her by her father.

Danny the Street
A sentient street who travels between cities, can generate matter and teleport, seamlessly integrating himself into existing cities. He serves as the Doom Patrol, Fables and the Legends' headquarters.
- Ascended Extra: Has a far greater prominence in the story due to holding the headquarters of not only the Doom Patrol, but the Legends and Fables as well.
- Camp: Since it's an inanimate object (and even a dad, of sorts), it can't be classified as either gay or straight, but it sure is campy. Either way, he speaks polari and redecorates some of his more masculine shops with decorative curtains. He also recolours his fire hydrants because red is too gauche.
- Creating Life: Danny was capable of bringing to life Flex Mentallo and Casey Brinke after their respective comic books were cancelled.
- Eldritch Location: Danny the Street is a benevolent and pleasant version of this, in fact possibly the most well-adjusted member of the Doom Patrol, Titans and The Legends.
- Emotion Eater: A heroic version. Danny gains sustenance from the happiness and wellbeing of the residents, without draining them of it. They are either unwilling or unable to go full on Lotus-Eater Machine to achieve that.
- Genius Loci: A sentient street (Imagine gun shops with pink curtains in the front windows, and fire hydrants that are painted yellow because bright crimson would be too gauche).
- Honorary True Companion: For both the Titans and The Legends.
- Nice Guy: An utterly lovely guy, who's inviting to everyone who isn't a jackass and is possibly the most well-adjusted member of the Doom Patrol and The Legends.
- Non-Human Non-Binary: A sentient street that identifies as queer.
- Reality Warper: Danny has this ability since he's a sentient being. Danny can change the buildings, signs, people and things within his street. They change immediately but do so piece by piece.
- Running Gag: A minor one is that since Danny is underage, it can't sell alcoholic beverages.
- Shapeshifter: Danny can change his shape and generate matter.
- Teleportation: His main power, and how he moves around. Danny can be' anywhere he'd like to be that can fit a street. He can embed himself into a city or exist as an oasis in a desert if he chose.
- Truly Single Parent: Danny is the creator of Casey Brinke and Flex Mentallo, making them their parent.
- Wholesome Crossdresser: Danny is possibly the sweetest, nicest fellow you could ever walk across. He also prefers frilly lace curtains and dainty decor.
Flex Mentallo
- The Big Guy: He's an extremely huge man with an absolutely ridiculous build and superhuman strength levels exceeding that of Robotman.
- Carpet of Virility: His hairy chest and arms are in full-display.
- Gentle Giant: He's 6'4"/193cm, very well-built and he's a sweetheart, through and through.
- Heroic Build: He's swole and a pretty heroic guy.
- The Immodest Orgasm: He once accidentally caused every Dannyzen to simultaneously experience what has been described as a "life-changing sexual climax".
- In-Series Nickname: Hero of the Beach, Man of Muscle Mystery, America's Merriest Crimefighter.
- It's All My Fault: Flex takes failure especially hard. If a mission goes off-the-rails, Flex will likely blame himself. If someone dies as the result of a mistake Flex is connected to, he's prone to running away and collapsing into a funk which takes considerable effort to shake him out of.
- Mr. Fanservice: He only wears his leopard-skin shorts, bracelets and boots. He's the Hero of the Beach for a reason.
- Muscles Are Meaningful: Flex's passive use of his Muscle Mystery grants him considerable strength.
- Pec Flex: His Muscle Mystery power activates when he flexes, so expect him to go into body-builder poses during a fight.
- Reality Warper: He seems to be able to do just about anything with his "Muscle Mystery powers" so long as he is able to use his muscles.
- Related in the Adaptation: Being created by Danny the Street makes him brother of Casey Brinke, and uncle of Mikey Milk.
- Superpower Lottery: Just about anything can happen when he flexes. As stated above, while warping reality is one of his main abilities, as long as he can use his muscles, he has multiple powers that are a mystery even to him.
- Super-Toughness: Flex is not quite bulletproof. Low to mid-range caliber rounds will leave him with mild to severe abrasions, while heavy-caliber rounds will pierce his skin and cause minor injuries.
- Tulpa: Like Casey Brinke, Flex was brought to reality by Danny the Street after his brand of cereal, Mental-O's, went under.
- Underwear of Power: His signature leopard-print mini-shorts.
Fugg
Fugg is a furry creature created by Danny the Street to accompany Casey Brinke. Fugg, who can only say the word "Fugg", has an organic tape player in his stomach that allows him to play instructional tapes for Casey.
