* AlternateSelf: One on [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse an unnamed Earth]].

!![[Series/DoomPatrol2019 The Doom Patrol]]

* AdaptationNameChange: Elasti-Girl in the comics. Probably changed to avoid confusion with Elastigirl in Creator/{{Disney}} / Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''Franchise/TheIncredibles'' franchise, which use the name with DC's permission.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: A NiceGirl and the group's TeamMom in the comics, but more of a narcissistic former Hollywood diva here, who nonetheless has [[SpoiledSweet a sweet side]] to her as well.

!![[ComicBook/DoomPatrol The Doom Patrol]] (Earth-9)

* AlternateSelf: Both WordOfGod and ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' confirm that they're not the ones seen in ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' (they're the ones listed above).

* SuperheroSpeciation: The team has Cyborg and Robotman, both of whom are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: The team has two female members, Elasti-Woman and Crazy Jane.

* SuperStrength: Hammerhead's ability.
* TeleportSpam: Her Flit persona can teleport her and others around.

* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:After Miranda pushed Jane into the Well, it is unknown if she's alive or she ends up like Scarlet Harlot and Lucy Fugue.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her Dr. Harrison persona has a streak of light blue in her hair.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: A lot of Kay's personalities come off like this, but according to Rita, Karen is one of the worst of the 64.

* GirlishPigtails: Wears them when her Baby Doll persona takes over.

* HystericalWoman: One of her personas is a screaming woman.

* LovePotion: Karen's ability. She can make people love her, which is how she and Doug have constantly gotten together before breaking up again. This is also how she gets his family, who are entirely against them getting married, to become immediately joyful about their union.

* MeaningfulName: A lot of Kay's personas have names that are similar to their personalities/abilities.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: So far, no one has used or seems to know Jane's real name, and she seems to prefer being called Jane.

* AdaptationalSexuality: This iteration of Negative Man is gay, as he was cheating on his wife (who he already had children with) with another man. He is not, however, a hermaphrodite like his Rebis iteration was.

* CatchPhrase: Played with. The iconic 'Booyah!!' only tends to show up in ImagineSpots or when something is getting [[OOCISSeriousBusiness ''weird.'']]

* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He is the youngest member of thee team, being young man in his late teens or early twenties, whereas the others are OlderThanTheyLook, being decades old.

* StageMom: Rita's mother was ''very'' set on her becoming a famous actress. From a very early age she put Rita through acting classes and was perfectly willing to neglect normal school for that.

* TookALevelInKindness: After her mutation, she learns to be a bit less selfish.

* TheStoner: She enjoys a good joint, as shown in the first episode.

* TheAtoner: Unlike the comics, Victor's father doesn't appear to be responsible for his injuries as well as the death of his mother. As such, Victor blames himself rather than Silas. His father may have altered his memories.

* CatchPhrase: The iconic 'Booyah!!'

* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, the Doom Patrol are a highly competent superhero team who regularly save all of reality from total annihilation. In the show, they're a bunch of inexperienced pick-up who fail almost constantly.

* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, the Room Patrol are a highly competent superhero team who regularly save all of reality from total annihilation. In the show, they're a bunch of inexperienced pick-up who fail almost constantly.

* ActionDad: Larry is a father of two and a career soldier prior to becoming a Doom Patrol member, while both Niles and Cliff have a daughter.

* PlatonicLifePartners: With Larry. They’ve been at the mansion the longest and have formed the closest bond as a result. She even accompanied him to go see his son. And when they leave the mansion for a few months after learning what Nike’s did to them, they love together in an apartment.

* UnderneathTheMask: She has been living so long as Rita Farr, she is not sure that anything even exists beneath the mask anymore. But she knows she doesn't want to be Rita and everything that she was anymore.

** Though not as bad as what the others went through, Rita's parents pushed her into being an actress at a young age, and were so insistent on it that when she got to meet her idol, her mom made her introduce herself by her stage name rather than her birth name.

* NoSympathy: Out of all the Doom Patrol, he's probably the least empathetic towards Niles even after discovering his motivations. Justified as Niles killed his wife when he "created" him in addition to putting him in a body that can't [[SenseLossSadness feel, taste, or smell]].

* TheProtagonist: Of the ''Doom Patrol'' series.

* PragmaticHero: How Kipling describes him, being a man who does what's needed and living with it.

!!''Rita Farr / Elasti-Woman''

* TheAgeless: Niles looked exactly the same in 1913 as he does in 2019. The second season reveals this is due to a pendant he wears that has prolonged his natural lifespan]].
* AntiVillain: e is the ultimate antagonist of the Doom Patrol, being responsible for everything shitty that happened to them. But he also did this to protect his own daughter, and seems to have grown to love them as well.

* FunSize: The first season ends with the entire team sans [[spoiler:Danny (who is reduced to a ''brick'') and Larry]] stuck as [[spoiler:inch-high versions of themselves]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: Zig-zagged. While he's far more affable than his openly-jerkass comic-counterpart, he's still a very morally dubious person. [[spoiler: Just as in the comics, he's behind the incidents that created the Doom Patrol, but while the comic Niles did it for purely selfish reasons and later went in to full-blown supervillain territory, Show Niles did it in order to protect his daughter and grows to be wracked with guilt over it. Another key difference being in his motivation for changing Rita: in the show she's considered a viable test subject along with all the other members of the team, while in the comic he did it solely to humiliate her and make her subservient to him.]]
* TheAgeless: Niles looked exactly the same in 1913 as he does in 2019. [[spoiler:The second season reveals this is due to a pendant he wears that has prolonged his natural lifespan]].
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:He is the ultimate antagonist of the Doom Patrol, being responsible for everything shitty that happened to them. But he also did this to protect his own daughter, and seems to have grown to love them as well.]]

* BerserkButton: [[spoiler: Do ''not'' hurt his daughter. See: PapaWolf.]]
* CantTakeCriticism: Played with. Niles can understand people's grievances with him.... but only once he's ''forced'' to face those grievances. Before then, he'll cover-up his mistakes or outright ignore obvious failings on his part. Pressing on his BerserkButton in particular can result in his politeness vanishing in favor of anger. [[spoiler: In season 2, Danny pointing out that Dorothy is more of a ''prisoner'' results in Niles immediately insisting that he would ''know'' if he was hurting his daughter, despite obvious evidence to the contrary.]]
* ControlFreak: One of Niles' greatest flaws is his obsession with trying to control the world around him. His work for the Bureau of Oddities demonstrated an imperialist fixation on "solving" primitive worlds. While he grew out of that trait, he soon fixated on trying to [[spoiler: become immortal, in order to protect Dorothy and/or the world from each other. No matter the cost to his trusted friends.]]

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: [[TheOtherDarrin Played by Bruno Bichir in his introduction.]]
** [[spoiler:Which thanks to the CW crisis on infinite earths crossover revealed Titans(with Bruno Bichir) and Doom Patrol take place on alternate worlds sharing some doppelgangers]]

* MayDecemberRomance: When he was a member of the [[spoiler:Bureau of Normalcy,]] he fell in love with a hairy cave woman named Oyewah, or Slava in 1913.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Subverted. [[spoiler: He actively searches for means to live longer than his also ageless daughter so he can always be there to protect her.]]
* ParentsAsPeople: [[spoiler: Niles ''does'' love Dorothy and wants to protect her more than anything in the world. But this desire destroys innocent lives, creates more problems than solutions, and ultimately damages ''Dorothy'' most of all.]]
* PapaWolf: The reason he did all of these horrible things was [[spoiler: to protect his daughter Dorothy, whom he sent to live with Danny and the Dannyzens to keep her safe]]. In season 2, his PapaWolf side comes out more as he gets angry at the others if they yell at Dorothy or call her names.

* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He's [[spoiler:Dorothy Spinner]]'s father in the show while they were simply on the same team in the comics.
* WhamLine: In Penultimate Patrol when he confesses to the Doom Patrol: [[spoiler: "I was responsible, for everything that has happened to each of you."]]

* AdaptationalBadass: A ZigZaggedTrope. Larry doesn't have the time limit from the comics on how long the Negative Spirit is able to release, with the tradeoff that Larry falls unconscious for the duration. That lasts until the Bureau of Normalcy experiments on him, which ultimately leads to him gaining those limitations from the comics, and them both remaining conscious during separation. [[spoiler: Played straight by the finale where he can directly channel the Spirit's power through himself without releasing it from his body.]]

* NeverMyFault: Larry accuses the Negative Spirit of ruining his life, forgetting that his inability to fully commit to either his wife and family or to his lover John (who was willing to stay by his side even after his accident while his wife left) was what pushed both of them away. [[spoiler: In the "Penultimate Patrol" he admits that his actions destroyed his family before the accident, and that his wife and sons deserved better than what he could give them.]]

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: In "Fun Size Patrol", [[spoiler:his son, Gary, commit suicide at his home.]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: His body constantly oozes powerful radiation, and he gives a rather stern warning to Starfire not to fight him, and she ultimately backs down. In the finale to ''Doom Patrol's'' first season, we see why: He is a living, breathing atom bomb. Creating disequilibrium between himself and the Negative Spirit creates a hydrogen explosion from his body, powerful enough to completely wipe out [[spoiler:Danny]]. The only way the rest of the Patrol survive is by [[ItMakesSenseInContext taking refuge inside the carcass of a cockroach.]]

* NoSympathy: [[spoiler:Out of all the Doom Patrol, he's probably the least empathetic towards Niles even after discovering his motivations. Justified as Niles killed his wife when he "created" him in addition to putting him in a body that can't [[SenseLossSadness feel, taste, or smell]].]]

* RememberTheNewGuy: She's nowhere to be seen during the BackdoorPilot on ''Series/{{Titans 2018}}''. A JustifiedTrope, as Rita notes just before her appearance that she tends to come and go from Doom Manor as she pleases, unlike the others who live there most of the time, meaning she likely just wasn't around at the time the Titans met the team. Another justified reason is TheReveal in ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' that the ''Doom Patrol'' series is set in an AlternateUniverse from ''Titans''.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: After Chief reveals he's the reason Jane exists, she doesn't take any of his apologies and calls them bullshit, with her even outright saying in Fun Size Patrol that the two of them were no longer friends.]]

* TheAtoner: Unlike the comics, Victor's father doesn't appear to be responsible for his injuries as well as the death of his mother. As such, Victor blames himself rather than Silas. [[spoiler: His father may have altered his memories.]]

* ExperiencedProtagonist: Despite being [[TheBabyOfTheBunch the youngest]] of the Doom Patrol, Victor has the most experience of the group with actual heroics, having several years under his belt in comparison to the rest who actively avoided in engaging in the world with their powers. This gets invoked in his debut episode where [[spoiler: Nobody tortures Rita and Larry with their secret desires, he knows that Vic is too experienced to give into that type of sentimentality and insteads try to torture him with the day his mother died.]]
* FakeMemories: [[spoiler: Played with. Silas is set up to have reprogrammed Cyborg's memories of the accident that killed his mother, but its revealed Silas only messed with Vic by repeating, over and over, that Mrs. Stone died instantly.]]

* ItsAllAboutMe: Unlike Rita's, he thinks highly of himself and shows little care for his teammates and Niles when he thinks he destroyed Mister Nobody by himself in their final battle. [[spoiler:This may be a side effect of what Mister Nobody did to him that made him mentally unstable.]]

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler:That's what she says in her reality created by Steven about Niles leaving her after the final battle against Mister Nobody. She never recovers from her depression and grief over Nile never accepting her feelings for him.]]

* SparedByTheAdaptation: While she [[spoiler: suffered a psychotic break]] here, her comic counterpart was outright KilledOffForReal at the end of Paul Kupperberg's run, just prior to Creator/GrantMorrison's historic tenure on the series.

* TheAtoner: He took on his current role at the "Academy" to repent for some horrible actions he committed while working for the US Government [[spoiler: in the Bureau of Normalcy.]]
* BrokenPedestal: Averted. He knows a ''very'' different Niles than the team does [[spoiler: from their time in the Bureau of Normalcy together]] and is all too aware of the darkness Niles walks in but still has faith in him and encourages the team not to give up on him after they start discovering some of his less pleasant traits.

* ChekhovsGunman: A seemingly ordinary man just trying to keep the original Doom Patrol safe. [[spoiler: He turns out to be the one responsible for Larry's fusion with the Negative Spirit and likely aided the creation of Rita Farr's condition.]]
