* BigDamnHeroes: Has such moment during the first episode when he saves a School Bus from Rita's blob.
* BookDumb: Downplayed example, but he apparently has no idea what the word "briefing" means (and laughs at Vic's use of "disseminate") in "Puppet Patrol," and is genuinely stumped by a high school-level math problem in "Cyborg Patrol."

* HairTriggerTemper: He was never the most even-tempered person to begin with, but his current circumstances have left him very quick to explode in to expletive-ridden rage and frustration. This only gets worse after Niles true motivations are revealed.

* NoisyRobots: His micro-movements create sounds.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: A DownplayedTrope example as Grant Morrison designed her to be less voluptuous and sex bomb like than the majority of superheroines at the time. Notably, though, he [[ComicBookFantasyCasting designed her around]] Music/PattiSmith. The show dresses down Jane but makes no secret that Diane Guerrero is gorgeous.

* MeaningfulName: In season 2, it's revealed that when she became primary [[spoiler: Miranda's boyfriend called her crazy so she responds by saying "You want crazy? Here's crazy" and punching him in the face. As she leaves she tells him her name is Jane as she drops the blanket around her and walks out naked.]]

!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/MattBomer (voice & flashbacks/unsuited), Creator/MatthewZuk (suited actor), Creator/BraxtonAlexander (young)

* AdaptationalBadass: {{ZigZagged|Trope}}. 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. Played straight by the finale where he can directly channel the Spirit's power through himself without releasing it from his body.

!! ''Captain Lawrence "Larry" Trainor, USAF / Negative Man''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/negative_manseason1.png]][[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see him before his accident]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/larry_trainor.png]][[/labelnote]]

* 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. Played straight by the finale where he can directly channel the Spirit's power through himself without releasing it from his body.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: In "Ezekiel Patrol", we see 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 Danny the Street. The only way the rest of the Patrol survive is by [[ItMakesSenseInContext taking refuge inside the carcass of a cockroach.]]

* TeamChef: Is the one to cook for the whole group and apparently [[SupremeChef a talented one at that.]]

A being from another dimension that merged with Larry Trainor
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Can do ''much'' more than it normally can in the comics, with the implication that even Mr. Nobody can't fully stop it.
* AndIMustScream: Being merged with Larry is horrific for it, being described as torture by the Spirit itself.
* BerserkButton: It's mentioned to be rather sensitive but only really lashes out when Larry acts like he has the moral high ground when neither of them had any say in winding up as they did.
* DisproportionateRetribution: When Larry tries to lay down some ground rules (which is sensible, all things considered) with the Spirit, it decides to leave his body in the lab rafters.
* EnergyBeing: Like the comics it's made out of negative energy, resembling a humanoid made of electricity when it's active.
* JumpedAtTheCall: As Larry notes, it ''wants'' to be involved with whatever the madness Nobody brought into their lives entails.

!! ComicBook/DoomPatrol (''Series/{{Doom Patrol|2019}}'' version)

* 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.I
* 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 fuck-ups whose attempts to do good are mostly ineffectual or make things worse.
* TheAgeless: They all stopped aging after their respective SuperHeroOrigin for reasons yet to be stated. Cliff has [[BrainInAJar a legit reason physically speaking]], while the rest are implied due to mutation.

** 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. [[spoiler:Though the mother put herself through some trauma too, sleeping with an producer to get Rita her first role. Rita happened to see this, giving her even more issues.]]

* AdaptationDyeJob: He's a redhead in the comics. Here, he's got Timothy Dalton's natural brown hair.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:He outwardly doesn't show much remorse for the lives he ruined for his experiments. At least not til Cliff's. Though it wasn't so much because he destroyed Cliff's life (since as he noted, Cliff was supposed to die during the wreck on the race track) so much that he also caused Cliff's wife to die, leaving their daughter an orphan (and also wounded). This causes Niles to begin to question whether he's truly justified in all that he is doing.]]

* PapaWolf: The reason he did all of these horrible things was 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.
--> '''Niles:''' (''to Cliff'') What the ''hell'' is wrong with you?! You take your anger out on ''me'', not an innocent child!

* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler:The opening episodes of season 2 are basically one long string of these, mostly from Cliff.]]
* YourDaysAreNumbered: In season 2, Niles' biggest story arc is the fact that he's now slowly dying and needs to find a way to extend his life if he wants to keep living alongside his daughter.

!!''Rita Farr / Elasti-Woman/[[spoiler:Gertrude Cramp]]''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rita_farrseason1.png]]

!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/AprilBowlby, Creator/LanaJeanTurner (child)

* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics her powers are ComicBook/MisterFantastic-style ability to stretch her body, plus grow or shrink. Here her "default" state is a semi-solid blob of flesh which can flow and slip through small openings, and it takes a great deal of mental control for her to hold herself in human form. She has on few occasions displayed the ability to stretch her limbs and the volume her body occupies can change drastically, implying that she could eventually manage the same things as her comics counterpart.

** Season 2 has her ''slowly'' gain more control over her power, with her progress rising and falling depending on her mental state. Its clear she has the ''potential'' to become as powerful as her comics counterpart, [[DysfunctionJunction if she can overcome her personal traumas.]]

* CelibateHero: Heavily implied, and not by choice. She fears getting intimate with anyone will cause her to lose control of her shapeshifting, and turn her into a blob that will suffocate or crush the person she is with. [[DeathBySex Which has already happened once.]]
** Season 2 adds new complications to this when Rita unlocks [[spoiler: repressed memories of her mother sleeping around to get young Rita acting roles.]] It soon becomes clear that Rita internalized sex as something that would cost her power and control. Given the abovementioned incident and her failed relationship with Steve Dayton, Rita has numerous reasons to be uncomfortable with sex.

* FieryRedhead: An auburn-haired woman known for her pridefulness .

* MsFanservice: She is a ''very'' attractive woman and is often shown [[SleepsInTheNude sleeping in the buff]]. Enforced, as she's likely dressing as her film noir character [[FemmeFatale "The Crimson Lady".]] Later she wears a medical outfit that still seems to compliment her well. Unfortunately, during a SuperpowerMeltdown, [[FanDisservice she most certainly is]] ''[[BodyHorror not]]''.

* 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. [[spoiler: As well as willing to sleep with producers to get Rita more parts.]]

* FakeGuestStar: Credited as a SpecialGuest in the opening billboards (OBB) despite being a regular cast member.

* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Subverted. He actively searches for means to live longer than his also ageless daughter so he can always be there to protect her.

* 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, intersex like his Rebis iteration was.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: A very subtile homage of Creator/KatharineHepburn with dashes of Creator/JoanCrawford.

The dominant personality of Kay Challis, a young woman who developed over 60 personalities and received powers for each identity following a number of illegal lab experiment she was involuntarily subjected to.

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' hurt his daughter. See: PapaWolf.

* AlternateSelf: One ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'''s [[Series/{{Smallville}} Earth-167]] and [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse an unnamed Earth]].

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

* YourCheatingHeart: He saw another man behind his wife's back.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[YourCheatingHeart Cheated on his wife]] with the nanny, fell on hard times with drinking and drugs, and then a fatal crash leaves him, his wife, and their daughter dead, or so he believes in the last part.

* YourCheatingHeart: From his very first moment on screen, he is fooling around with his daughter's nanny.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: A DownplayedTrope example as Grant Morrison designed her to be less voluptuous and sex bomb like than the majority of superheroines at the time. Notably, though, he designed her around Music/PattiSmith. The show dresses down Jane but makes no secret that Diane Guerrero is gorgeous.

* 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 fuck-ups whose attempts to do good are mostly completely ineffectual or make things worse.

* 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]]. Somewhat less sympathetically, he also is generally rather cold towards Dorothy, seemingly for little other reason than she's Niles' daughter, considering he's normally pretty nice to children. She is the reason Niles destroyed his life, but she had no say in the matter either.

* PrecisionFStrike: "The fuck!?" is basically Cliff's CatchPhrase.

* SirSwearsALot: Along with Jane, Cliff is the most swear-happy of the core cast.

* YourCheatingHeart: His backstory shows (literally) that he's been fooling around with his daughter's nanny.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In her backstory she sustained her career by [[spoiler:acquiring attractive young actresses for a Hollywood producer. When one of them ended up pregnant and committed suicide she finally realized what she had done...but then took the next role she was offer anyway]].

* {{Gayngst}}: Back before he was Negative Man, Larry felt like a monster because he was having an affair with another man, cheating on his wife. It's also worth noting that this episode in his life took place during the 1960's, a time when homosexuals were often portrayed as monsters and society was not as accepting, especially in occupations like the military.

* NiceGuy: Cooks dinner for the rest of the Doom Patrol and is extremely accommodating to Raven, in contrast to Robotman who insists she leaves so as to not upset the Chief.

* 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 Danny. The only way the rest of the Patrol survive is by [[ItMakesSenseInContext taking refuge inside the carcass of a cockroach.]]

* SympatheticAdulterer: While him cheating on his wife is never portrayed positively, Larry isn't painted in the bad light either, instead presenting him as someone who is feeling trapped to live with society's demands/expectations.

* AdaptedOut: This incarnation don't have Crazy Jane and Cyborg.
* AlternateSelf: Both WordOfGod and ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' confirm that they're not the ones seen in ''Series/DoomPatrol2019''; they're the ones listed above.
