!!ComicBook/DoomPatrol (''Series/{{Doom Patrol|2019}}'' version)
[[folder:In General]]
* 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.
* 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.
* AntiHero: All of them have severe personal flaws and don't even want to be heroes most of the time, but they gradually become better people.
* BodyHorror: As detailed by DysfunctionJunction below, each member of the team is broken in every sense of the word.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: Rita and Larry are yet to be addressed by their superhero names.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Aside from Victor, who had a generally happy upbringing, even if his relationship with his father was tense, most of the Doom Patrol had dark childhoods that contributed to what they grew up to be.
** Cliff's father was an abusive drunken deadbeat who would blow up at Cliff's mom over petty things, and then keep her around by apologizing every time.
** Kay's father sexually abused her when she was a young girl.
** Larry showed signs of being gay as a child, and his community treated him poorly for it, with his parents being more concerned about their social standing than what their son was going through.
** 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]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Cliff Steele is the biggest one, but Larry and Rita all show shades of this as well.
-->'''Larry:''' I thought you might like some fresh air.\\
'''Cliff:''' I can't feel the air.\\
'''Larry:''' Sucks to be you.\\
'''Cliff:''' Hey, what was it like buried in a pyramid with your cat?
* DysfunctionJunction: The Doom Patrol are gathered together by this. To wit:
** Caulder is confined to a wheelchair.
** Cliff has no body of his own and has to live inside that of a cold steel robot.
** Larry's body is heavily charred and lethally radioactive.
** Rita's powers are debilitating, and she literally breaks down before shooting a movie.
** Kay has dissociative identity disorder, having as many as 64 different personalities.
* FailureHero: While not explicitly true given they do manage to save the town of Cloverton from Mr. Nobody, the early adventures of the Doom Patrol in Season 1 emphasize they are not very good at heroics. In fact, they're not very good at going into town or trying to get to Paraguay. Victor is a SubvertedTrope as he's entirely competent as a hero.
* FiveTokenBand: The team is multi-ethnic and very versatile.
* FunSize: The first season ends with the entire team sans Danny who is reduced to a ''brick'') and Larry stuck as inch-high versions of themselves.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: The people of Cloverton hate the Doom Patrol for wrecking downtown and bringing down the wrath of Mr. Nobody.
* KarmicTransformation: Rita, Larry, and Cliff's various accidents are thematically tied to their character failings prior to them. That said, the sheer pain and horror that ensued (not to mention the collateral damage) are depicted as disproportionate to their misdeeds.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: They're a bunch of superpowered outcasts banded together to do good.
* SuperheroSpeciation: The team has Cyborg and Robotman, both of whom are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: The team has two female members, Elasti-Woman and Crazy Jane.

[[folder:Dr. Niles Caulder / The Chief]]
!!''Dr. Niles Caulder / The Chief''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/niles_caulderdoompatrol.png]]
!!! '''Species:''' Human
!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/TimothyDalton, Abigail Shapiro (child)
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/DoomPatrol2019''

->''"I assure you, there are many monsters in this world, and none of them, not a one, is you.''"

TheLeader of the Doom Patrol and a man surrounded with mystery.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Zig-zagged. While he's far more affable than his openly-jerkass comic-counterpart, he's still a very morally dubious person. 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.
* AdaptationDyeJob: He's a redhead in the comics. Here, he's got Timothy Dalton's natural brown hair.
* 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: 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.
* ArchEnemy: Chief has a lot of enemies, most of which are likely dead or still out for his blood. His most notable one is Eric Morden aka Mr. Nobody.
* 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. 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 become immortal, in order to protect Dorothy and/or the world from each other. No matter the cost to his trusted friends.
* CrossCastRole: The child version of the Chief is played by Abigail Shapiro, the actress who also portrays his daughter Dorothy.
* GeniusCripple: An intelligent scientist who's bound to a wheelchair. He's walking in ''Titans'', having somehow recovered in the past, but is soon back in the chair.
* GoingNative: With Oyewah, after being rescued by her.
* GoodIsNotNice: He saves and harbors people thought to be ''doomed'' with his unconventional science, and ultimately wants to help humanity. This is much downplayed later on, but he still misled Cliff about his daughter's death.
* IllBoy: Niles appears to be diabetic, or at least has a fondness for chocolate, as he keeps a filing cabinet full of them in his lab.
* MayDecemberRomance: When he was a member of the Bureau of Normalcy, he fell in love with a hairy cave woman named Oyewah, or Slava in 1913.
* 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]].
* MysteriousPast: Niles has managed to make a lot of unusual friends and enemies over his life. The circumstances for only a few of these have been revealed.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Niles was already an adult in 1913 suggesting he is well over 100 years old. Confirmed in season 2 where he tells the others he's at least 139 years old.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: He's exceptionally skilled in many different fields of science, having designed Cliff's robotic body, functioned as Jane's therapist, invented Larry's radiation-proof bandages, and built two working spaceships in the 1950s, both of which are still functional.
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: Subverted. He actively searches for means to live longer than his also ageless daughter so he can always be there to protect her, but he gives up his immortality to help the Doom Patrol.
* 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!
* ParentsAsPeople: 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.
* PragmaticHero: How Kipling describes him, being a man who does what's needed and living with it. [[spoiler:He destroyed the lives of 4 other people to use them as guinea pigs for finding methods of immortality all for the sake of making sure he will be there to take care of his immortal and eternally childlike daughter. Both for her sake, and for the world's...]]
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: He's Dorothy Spinner's father in the show while they were simply on the same team in the comics.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Chocolate. Chocolate anything, including chocolate chip pancakes.
* WhamLine: In Penultimate Patrol when he confesses to the Doom Patrol: "I was responsible, for everything that has happened to each of you."
* 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.

[[folder:Rita Farr / Elasti-Woman]]
!!''Rita Farr / Elasti-Woman/ [[spoiler:Gertrude Cramp]]''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rita_farrseason1.png]]
!!! '''Species:''' Enhanced Human
!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/AprilBowlby, Lana Jean Turner (child)
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' | ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019''[[note]]Cameo in the epilogue[[/note]]

->''"We’re going to save the world, or whatever, and then I will have a stiff Manhattan and go to bed."''

A former actress who was mutated by a strange gas.
----
* FiftiesHair: Has the "Hollywood curls" style ala Creator/MarilynMonroe.
* 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.
* 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. Her real name is also Gertrude Camp with Rita Farr being just her StageName.
* 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.
* BeneathTheMask: 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.
* BigEater: When she joins the others for dinner and introduces herself to Rachel, she piles her plate with a small mountain of food. Justified, since she says that she requires a lot of caloric intake to help maintain her form.
* BlessedWithSuck: Compared to her comic counterpart, Rita's powers are pretty terrible. Unlike the comic where she is essentially ComicBook/MisterFantastic, in the show, she is essentially a giant blob of flesh in her neutral form. The only real benefit to this power is that she is able to move through very small openings, as she is super malleable. On the downside, she requires ''constant'' mental focus to maintain her physical form, any distractions or distress tends to cause her to grotesquely lose her form. It's clear that she hates her "power".
** 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]].
* BlobMonster: Introduced lying in bed as a formless blob and has to reshape herself when she awakens. This requires a conscious effort on her part and she has difficulty maintaining it, especially when stressed or emotional.
* BodyHorror: Seeing her dissolve is....not a pretty sight.
* 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.
* TheDiva: She is TheFifties-version of a diva.
* FieryRedhead: An auburn-haired woman known for her pridefulness.
* FreudianExcuse: She was raised by parents obsessed with stardom, to the point of keeping her from schooling and other kids her age. It explains a lot of her lack of social grace and self-obsession.
* HospitalHottie: In a medical uniform, she wears it well and is not less a MsFanservice in it.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Or, more accurately, adored. In season 2, she decides to try and channel this desire for good by becoming a ''superhero'' rather than a Hollywood star.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Played for drama; Rita's defining flaw is her need for attention and validation, and it only pushes others away. Best exemplified in the pilot after hearing a waitress tell her that Rita Farr movies helped her family through tough times -- rather than simply take solace in knowing that she touched the life of someone else, Rita tries to get the woman to say more about the movies themselves and how great Farr was in them, in a desperate attempt to feel adulation again. When it fails, ''horribly'', she begins literally falling apart from the stress. She starts getting better about caring for others, and as of now, wants to reinvent herself as a better person and leave her past as "Rita Farr" behind.
* LargeHam: Her acting. Also, pretty much Rita in general. Larry comments that, in order to use her powers, first she has to "emote."
* 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]]''.
* 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 offered anyway]].
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: A very subtile one of Creator/KatharineHepburn with dashes of Creator/JoanCrawford.
* OlderThanTheyLook: 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.
* 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 Niles did to them, they live together in an apartment.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: In the past, she referred to an amputee crewman as an "eyesore" and had him fired rather than work with him. She's grown past it in the present day, for obvious reasons.
* SleepsInTheNude: By necessity since she reverts to her BlobMonster state while she sleeps.
* 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]].
* StageNames: Rita Farr is a stage name. Her real name is [[spoiler:Gertrude Cramp]], even though she still seems to prefer being called Rita. At least she isn't totally ready to let that identity go, from both attachment and guilt.
* TookALevelInKindness: After her mutation, she learns to be a bit less selfish. As the show goes on, she learns to be a lot ''more'' less selfish.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: Played with. She and Steve Dayton were never married in this continuity but they did have a brief relationship.
* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Clings to her days of stardom.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: In "Therapy Patrol", she mentions multiple times that she does not like rats; even when she's trapped in the furnace she begs for there to not be any while she is down there.

->''"I hate that word. “Hero.” It’s dangerous. A title other people hang on you and you’re supposed to carry it around."''

An Air Force pilot who was exposed to negative energy.
----
* AcePilot: Larry was a revered pilot in the U.S. Air Force prior to his accident.
* ActionDad: Larry is a father of two and was a career soldier prior to becoming a Doom Patrol member.
* AdaptationalBadass: ZigZagged. 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.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: His design is heavily based on Negative Man's Rebis incarnation, but he's much more straightforwardly pleasant and helpful whereas his visual influence had a predilection for being obnoxious and aloof.
* AdaptationalSexuality: This iteration of Negative Man is gay. 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.
* BadassLongcoat: A constant attire for him, likely to conceal the bandages on his body.
* BandagedFace: His entire body is covered with bandages as a result of exposure to negative energy.
* BodyHorror: His entire body is covered in horrific burns from the plane crash that followed his merging with the Negative Spirit.
* BlessedWithSuck: The Negative Spirit is very powerful and can phase through anything along with having other abilities. Only problem is that when he's released, it completely knocks Larry out. This becomes remedied after the Spirit is forcefully removed from Larry's body. Larry is able to maintain consciousness for a period of time while separated from the Spirit after that. Only trouble is that now Larry also begins to slowly die while separated.
* CantLiveWithoutYou: As much as he and the Negative Spirit hate each other, it's the only thing sustaining his body. If it leaves for too long, Larry will die.
* CoolShades: Wears them out of necessity as a result of the accident that disfigured him, even indoors and at night.
* CureYourGays: Flashback to his childhood shows his parents wanting to get rid of his homosexuality.
* TheCynic: Larry is [[BlessedWithSuck understandably]] downtrodden and melancholic.
* ExtremeDoormat: Larry tends to listen to whatever Niles tells him to do, mainly since he can't cope with his existence within the world. And as Niles mainly just tells him to stay in Doom Manor away from the rest of the world, he happily complies, happy for an excuse not to face other people. This extends to his dealings with the others in the Doom Patrol, to the point that [[RunningGag when others come up with a plan, he's just assumed to be in favor of the majority opinion]].
* {{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 1960s, a time when homosexuals were often portrayed as monsters and society was not as accepting, especially in occupations like the military.
* GoodLookingPrivates: Larry ''was'' a TallDarkAndHandsome USAF captain.
* LateComingOut: Larry Traynor knew that he was gay way back in the 1950's, but stayed in the closet until 2019, when he was somewhere in his 90's.
* MilitarySuperhero: Larry was [[TheCaptain a captain]] in the U.S. Air Force long before becoming a member of Doom Patrol.
* 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. 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.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Here Larry plays a stand-in for [[DangerDeadpan Chuck Yeagher]].
* OutlivingOnesOffspring: In "Fun Size Patrol", his son, Gary, commit suicide at his home.
* 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]].
* RunningGag: Larry trying not to vomit in his bandages.
* SympatheticAdulterer: While him cheating on his wife is never portrayed positively, Larry isn't painted in a bad light either, instead presenting him as someone who is feeling trapped to live with society's demands/expectations.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: At least until the accident.
* TeamChef: Is the one to cook for the whole group and apparently [[SupremeChef a talented one at that]].

[[folder:Negative Spirit]]
!!''Negative Spirit''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/negative_spirit.png]]
!!! '''Species:''' Otherdimensional Being
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/DoomPatrol2019''

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.
* LaserGuidedKarma: Seems to hold this as a view when it comes to Larry. When he's hostile to it, it gets hostile right back, which is why Larry has nightmares when he's not awake. Once Larry starts treating it more kindly, it starts giving him nicer dreams and actually helps him get some closure with his issues.
* LightIsGood: In spite of its name it is actually a ball of white/blue energy that's certainly trying to get along with Larry and even drives him to heroics.
* {{Manchild}}: The Chief notes that it's very emotional and very sensitive, so it doesn't do a good job of actually communicating with Larry, favoring excessive responses to get its way or make a point. Especially when Larry unknowingly presses its BerserkButton.
* NotHelpingYourCase: Larry pretty much hates and possibly fears the Spirit because, among other things, it tends to act however it wants regardless of Larry's wishes, leaves him in horrible nightmares while he's unconscious, and isn't really making any effort to communicate with him or change his views on it. It's at the point that he views it as actively malicious towards him personally, unaware of how things really are.
* SuperpowerLottery: Has quite a few tricks it can use. It can [[IntangibleMan move through walls with no trouble]], it can [[{{flight}} fly]], it's said [[DimensionalTraveler to be from another dimension and can apparently move between dimensions at will]], and has some degree of PsychicPowers, being able to interact with the minds of others. Larry is stricken with nightmares when he's unconscious because of this, it was able to send Cliff into the Underground to bring Jane back, and was able to reach out to Larry's old lover through a dream.
* TheSymbiote: It is actually merged with Larry, to the degree that it ''can't'' simply depart and leave him be. Though this is hardly by choice.

->''"I can’t feel pain. No matter how hard I hit, where I hit, what I hit, I can’t feel pain."''

A professional car racer who had his brain transplanted into a robot body after a nigh-fatal crash.
----
* ActionDad: Has a daughter, whom he hasn't seen in 30 years and believes to be dead.
* AdaptationalBadass: Downplayed. While his super strength was rarely useful in the stranger iterations of the comics that the show is based on, the addition of more grounded goons in the program give Cliff more things he can effectively punch.
* AudienceSurrogate: Since he's the character who we're first introduced to, a lot of what goes on in the Doom Patrol universe is a first for him, and also the audience. Hence, him using his catchphrase probably almost as often as the audience is.
* BadassDriver: He was a former racecar driver and in one of his races, avoided an oncoming vehicle which won him the race.
* BadBadActing: He once guest-starred on a popular soap opera back when he was human, and from what little we see of the episode, he was an absolutely ''terrible'' actor.
-->'''Cliff:''' [[BlatantLies There was some buzz about a Daytime Emmy for me]].
* BigDamnHeroes: Has such moment during the first episode when he saves a School Bus from Rita's blob.
* TheBigGuy: The biggest heavy hitter on the team.
* 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."
* BrainInAJar: Albeit, a nigh-indestructible one.
* CatchPhrase: Whenever something bat-shit crazy happens, he usually utters, ''"The fuck?!"''
* CelebCrush: It's implied he has a thing for Jennifer Beals, as he admits to having recurring dreams about her and claims to have watched ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'' 87 times.
* {{Cyborg}}: A human brain inside a mechanical body.
* DaddysGirl: He loved his daughter dearly, and memories of her are what helps him get through his transition as a robot, but it also haunts him because he can't bring himself to try and contact her.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: 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.
* DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength: Even after getting used to his robot body for over a decade he still has problems holding back his strength which habitually leads to things like accidentally breaking a plate by pressing down on a knife ''way'' too hard.
* FatalFlaw: As good an influence as his daughter is on him, his fixation on the life he lost with her keeps him wrapped up in his own head and hampers his attempts to be TheHeart for the team.
* ForgotHeWasARobot: He blinks for unknown reasons.
* FunTShirt: Has a collection of these which he usually wears beneath his leather jacket, which are often suspiciously apropos of the situation in the episode in which he wears them.
* 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.
* TheHedonist: Lived a lifestyle of sex and drugs before his accident. Its part of why being a robot is so hard for him- he went from feeling everything to ''nothing.''
* HellBentForLeather: Wears a sleeveless leather jacket with massive shoulder pads.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Berates his wife and best friend for having an afair with each other despite cheating himself.
* ImmuneToMindControl: He's immune to both Karen's "love spell" and Flex Mentallo's "orgasm attack" due to being a machine.
* JerkassRealization: He realized he was a crappy husband after narrowly dodging a racing accident and soon started making an active attempt to be better. Sadly, this was shortly before the ''actual'' car accident that forced his conversion into a cyborg, and the death of his wife.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Cliff is grumpy, foul-mouthed, and bad-tempered, but nonetheless has a good heart and actively ''attempts'' to be a hero compared to the others. Notably, in the first episode, he is the only one who wants to protect the town that the Chief says will be caught in the crossfire of whatever is coming for them; everyone else decided to leave with the Chief.
* ManChild: Not quite severe as other examples would have you think, but his crude demeanor and outbursts paint him as more of an unstable teen than a qualified hero.
* MightyGlacier: He's enormous, weighs a ton, is immensely strong, and has the relative speed and grace of a steamroller.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Says this almost word-for-word after [[HallwayFight slaughtering a hallway full of Von Fuchs Nazi minions]].
* NoisyRobots: His micro-movements create sounds.
* 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 and the others' lives, but she had no say in the matter either.
* SenseLossSadness: His main dilemma is the fact that he can no longer feel, taste, or smell anything anymore.
* SeriesMascot: The most recognizable full-fledged member (not counting Beast Boy, who's more associated with the Titans) and the only one to be in every iteration of the team.
* SirSwearsALot: Along with Jane, Cliff is the most swear-happy of the core cast. "The fuck!?" is basically Cliff's CatchPhrase.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Due to his metal body, he can be rendered completely helpless by a sufficiently strong magnet.
* WouldntHurtAChild: He doesn't kill or hurt children when Larry asks him to kill [[ApocalypseMaiden Shadowy Mr. Evans's baby]].

[[folder:Kay Challis / Crazy Jane]]
!!''Kay Challis / Crazy Jane''
[[quoteright:350: https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crazy_jane_0.png]]
!!! '''Species:''' Enhanced Human
!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/DianeGuerrero, Skye Roberts (child)
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' | ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019''[[note]]Cameo in the epilogue[[/note]]

->''"You all need more therapy than I do, and I’m the crazy one."''

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 experiments she was involuntarily subjected to.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: A {{Downplayed|Trope}} 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.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: The rest of the Doom Patrol were created in the '60s, but Crazy Jane wasn't made until 1989. She's evidently the first recruit into the team (her not being in ''Titans'' when Beast Boy leaves), and appears before original member Mento.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the comics, Jane was seldom unhelpful. Here, depending on which personality is in control, she can go so far as to ''switch sides'' mid-fight. She's also a lot more angry, violent, and mean-spirited in general compared to her comics counterpart, whose base personality is very mellow and friendly.
* AffirmativeActionGirl: With her addition, Elasti-Woman isn't the only woman on the team this time around.
* AloofDarkHairedGirl: And depending on which personality is in control, she could either be distant, apathetic, snobby or downright antagonistic.
* BerserkButton: Asking her about her past. Cliff tends to push this button a ''lot''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Jane is capable of acting nice, but she's also just as capable of tearing someone a new one verbally if they piss her off.
* BigSisterInstinct: As much as she hates everyone else, the one person Jane genuinely cares for is Kay who she often goes to in order to apologize for anything she's done that may have hurt the little girl.
* BlessedWithSuck: She ''looks'' normal compared to everyone else on the team. Unfortunately, she has a lot more problems when it comes to her mental interior.
* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: When Cliff is the only one who chooses to stay to protect the town the team endangered while everyone else leaves with the Chief to save themselves, Jane is the first to want to turn around. She doesn't really give a damn about the town, but leaving Cliff to face whatever is coming alone makes her uncomfortable.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: All of her personalities stem from her years of being sexually abused by her own father.
* DeadpanSnarker: Crazy Jane is very sardonic and very foul-mouthed.
* {{Expy}}: Described in the casting call as being a "ComicBook/HarleyQuinn-esque character".
* TheGadfly: 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.
* HairTriggerTemper: While this could apply to many of her personalities, Jane is this especially, quick to get angry when something doesn't go right or bothers her.
* HatesBeingTouched: Doesn't like being touched, but doesn't react as violently as Hammerhead.
* [[SirSwearsALot Lady Swearsalot]]: Like Cliff, she's the most swear-happy of the core cast.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Whenever a new personality takes over, the music usually changes.
* MarkedChange: When her Hammerhead persona takes over, she has a tattoo across her chest.
* 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]].
* MsFanservice: Described as being sexy in the casting call.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Creator/GrantMorrison based her on Truddi Chase, who has as many as ''92'' different personalities.
* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: Despite her fears of her abuse father, she confronted her Daddy personality (based on her abused father) and tells him she's not afraid of him anymore after he nearly destroy Cliff in her mind.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She was born in 1959, and got her powers in 1976 when she looked as old as she does now.
* PlayingWithFire: Several of her alters have fire-related abilities.
* RaceLift: In the comics she's white, but here played by Colombian-American Diane Guerrero.
* RapeAsBackstory: While not stated outright its very, very heavily implied that her father molested her as a child much like the comics.
* RapeLeadsToInsanity: 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.
* SoapboxSadie: Implied, as she drops off buzzwords such as "Toxic Masculinity" (to Cliff) when angry.
* SplitPersonality: Crazy Jane's whole schtick is that she has multiple personalities (64 to be exact), with each of them having unique powers. See the entries for The Underground.
* SplitPersonalityMakeover: Depending on the personality, Jane's appearance can change. She gains a tattoo on her chest along with darker eyeshadow as Hammerhead. A unibrow as The Hangman's Daughter. Pigtails as Baby Doll. Blonde Hair as Karen. Blue eyes and a SkunkStripe as Dr. Harrison. A long up-do pompadour with silver makeup as Silver Tongue. A giant with a sun for a head as Sun Daddy. WreathedInFlames as Katy. Just to name a few.
* TheStoner: She enjoys a good joint, as shown in the first episode. Deconstructed when she falls deep into drug use as a coping mechanism for Chief's betrayal, costing the trust of the other personalities.
* {{Troll}}: Half of the time she says or does something, it's usually done with the intent to troll someone, her target of this is usually Cliff.
* UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:After Miranda pushed Jane into the Well, it is unknown if she'll live or end up like Scarlet Harlot and Lucy Fugue]].
* WeUsedToBeFriends: 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.

[[folder:Victor Stone / Cyborg]]
!!''[[ComicBook/{{Cyborg}} Victor Stone / Cyborg]]''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cyborg_9.jpg]]
!!! '''Species:''' Enhanced Human
!!! '''Played by:''' Joivan Wade
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' | ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019''[[note]]Cameo in the epilogue[[/note]]

A cybernetic superhero who calls the Doom Patrol together.
----
* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: Inverted. Victor is still angsty over his GuiltComplex, blaming himself for his mother's death or his difficult relationship with his father, but when it comes to his body being mostly mechanical, while still emotionally affected by it, he doesn't has same inner conflicts about it like his comic counterpart. With this being told, he is also more easy going.
* AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Cyborg's accident is much more mundane than usual. Instead of being injured by an extradimensional being or invasion, he is in a simple lab accident when he gets angry and throws a volatile chemical, which explodes.
* AdaptationalCurves: Inverted. This Cyborg is notably leaner than [[TheBigGuy the common portrayal of the character]].
* AdaptationOriginConnection: Cyborg has no relation to the Doom Patrol in the comics, but here he walks into town and pushes them to work as an actual superhero team for the first time in order to rescue the Chief from Mr. Nobody. He and his father are also friends of the Chief.
* AlternateSelf: On [[Series/{{Smallville}} Earth-167]] and [[Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse an unnamed Earth]].
* 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. The truth is more complicated.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: He is the youngest member of the team, being young man in his late teens or early twenties, whereas the others are OlderThanTheyLook, being decades old.
* BlackAndNerdy: One of the main tech guys of the DC universe, and is African-American.
* CatchPhrase: Played with. The iconic "[[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans Booyah!!]]" only tends to show up in {{Imagine Spot}}s or when something is getting ''[[OOCISSeriousBusiness weird]]''.
* CyberneticsWillEatYourSoul: Victor's greatest fear is that his cybernetic prosthetics will eventually take over him.
* {{Cyborg}}: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It's in the name]]. He's a guy made of some of the most advanced technology there is.
* 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 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: 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.
* {{Foil}}: Vic is one for Cliff in particular and the Doom Patrol in general. He's already experienced, incredibly capable, well-trained, possesses state of the art cybernetics, and is happy to be a superhero. This makes him a strong contrast to the RagtagBandOfMisfits who can barely muster any effort toward being heroes.
* HeroicBSOD: The trauma of Nobody's manipulations and attacking his own father leaves Vic with severe PTSD for much of season 2.
* JockDadNerdSon: Inverted with Victor and his dad, as per the comics. Silas Stone has always considered sports a waste of time for his child.
* MythologyGag:
** Him joining Doom Patrol is not really random, his best friend in the comics, Beast Boy, was part of Doom Patrol before joining the Titans.
** He also got his "Booyah!" CatchPhrase from the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans''.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Doom Patrol rarely refers to him as Victor and just call him "Vic".
* OnlySaneMan: For a guy with a horribly traumatic backstory, Victor seems rather heroic and well-adjusted, and is the only established superhero in the Patrol. Subsequently, he become the voice of reason and moral support to his comparatively more dysfunctional teammates.
* ParentalIssues: Victor clearly has some things he needs to work out with his father, Silas.
* RoboCam: His cyborg eye gives him this vision.
* SecondEpisodeIntroduction: Debut in ''Doom Patrol'' Episode 2.
* SixthRanger: Vic is the only member in Season 1 who wasn't living in Caulder's manor before becoming part of the team.
* StageMom: Victor's father has elements of this as he wants to make sure his son joins the Justice League like it's a sports team. Victor is somewhat nonplussed by this but mostly appreciative.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Cyborg practically takes the place Beast Boy as the youngest member of the Doom Patrol. Normally Victor is more associated with the Titans or the Justice League.
* TraumaButton: The season two premiere demonstrates that Mr. Nobody's become this to him, as he completely spirals at the (unwarranted) idea that Mr. Nobody could be doing damage to him again.
* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Silas is constantly monitoring his son and giving unwanted feedback.
* WellDoneSonGuy: A surprising change from the usual comics. In this universe, Victor and his father have a decent relationship. Silas supports Victor's superheroics both financially as well as emotionally.

* DemotedToExtra: He's one of the most prominent members of Doom Patrol in the comics whereas he's relegated to a former (yet still founding) member here.
* 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. This may be a side effect of what Mister Nobody did to him that made him mentally unstable.

Joshua "Josh" Clay is a Metahuman physician who looks after the Doom Patrol at their headquarters after they retired. Despite having powers, he refuses to use them.
----
* TheAtoner: He took on his current role at the "Academy" to repent for some horrible actions he committed while working for the US Government in the Bureau of Normalcy.
* BrokenPedestal: Averted. He knows a ''very'' different Niles than the team does 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.
* TheCaretaker: This is his role for Rhea, Arani and Steve. He obviously doesn't enjoy having to keep them in their current state, but knows that they're more of a danger to themselves and others if he doesn't. He also is fairly kind to Jane, trying to keep her at ease and even offers her a drug that would suppress her powers.

!!ComicBook/DoomPatrol (''Series/{{Titans|2018}}'' version)
[[folder:In General]]
* AdaptedOut: This incarnation doesn't have Crazy Jane and Cyborg.
* AlternateSelf: Both WordOfGod and ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' confirm that they're not the ones seen in ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'', who are listed above.
* BodyHorror: As detailed by DysfunctionJunction below, each member of the team is broken in every sense of the word.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: All of them are not addressed by their superhero names, nor is the group addressed as Doom Patrol (despite the episode title being just that).
* DecoyProtagonist: ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' was greenlit a few months before the ''Series/Titans2018'' premiere and their guest-appearance in the latter show makes it seem like an EarlyBirdCameo. Then ''Doom Patrol'' premiered and their characterizations do not sync with their appearance in ''Titans'', most notable cases being Dr. Caulder [[TheOtherDarrin being played by a different actor]], the [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome lack of references to Gar]], and [[RememberTheNewGuy Jane's existence]]. While it took until ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'' to confirm, it's eventually revealed that [[AlternateSelf the two teams are from two different universes]].
* DysfunctionJunction: The Doom Patrol are gathered together by this. To wit:
** Caulder is confined to a wheelchair.
** Cliff has no body of his own and has to live inside that of a cold steel robot.
** Larry's body is heavily charred and lethally radioactive.
** Rita's powers are debilitating, and she literally breaks down before shooting a movie.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Their appearance serves as a reminder to the viewers that a ''Series/DoomPatrol2019'' show is coming up.
* FamilyOfChoice: While they're prone to SnarkToSnarkCombat, they are much more stable and united compared to the main Doom Patrol.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: They're a bunch of superpowered outcasts banded together to do good.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: They only appeared in a single episode but they're the ones who took Gar and trained him.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: The reason Beast Boy was able to join the ComicBook/TeenTitans in the comics is because the Doom Patrol is dead. They are very much alive here.

A former actress who was mutated by a strange gas.
----
* FiftiesHair: Has the "Hollywood curls" style ala Creator/MarilynMonroe.
* 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.
* 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.
* BigEater: When she joins the others for dinner and introduces herself to Rachel, she piles her plate with a small mountain of food. Justified, since she says that she requires a lot of caloric intake to help maintain her form.
* BlessedWithSuck: Compared to her comic counterpart, Rita's powers are pretty terrible. Unlike the comic where she is essentially ComicBook/MisterFantastic, in the show, she is essentially a giant blob of flesh in her neutral form. The only real benefit to this power is that she is able to move through very small openings, as she is super malleable. On the downside, she requires ''constant'' mental focus to maintain her physical form, any distractions or distress tends to cause her to grotesquely lose her form. It's clear that she hates her "power".
* BlobMonster: Introduced lying in bed as a formless blob and has to reshape herself when she awakens. This requires a conscious effort on her part and she has difficulty maintaining it, especially when stressed or emotional.
* BodyHorror: Seeing her dissolve is....not a pretty sight.
* FieryRedhead: An auburn-haired woman known for her pridefulness.
* HospitalHottie: In a medical uniform, she wears it well and is not less a MsFanservice in it.
* LadyInred: Her formal introduction sees her wearing a sultry red dress.
* LargeHam: Her acting. Also, pretty much Rita in general. Larry comments that, in order to use her powers, first she has to "emote."

He also gives Starfire a chance to back off first when she and Dick show up to rescue Raven, warning her that [[DontMakeMeDestroyYou she wouldn't want to see what he's capable of.]]
* 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.
* RaceLift: White in the comics, but played by Dominican-Canadian actor Dwain Murphy. Though since Negative Man is practically never seen without his full body costume, this isn't really noticeable.
* TeamChef: Is the one to cook for the whole group and apparently [[SupremeChef a talented one at that.]]
