Brotherhood of Evil

In General

The Brotherhood of Evil

An evil organization from the 1930s, dedicated to world domination.

---

• Adaptational Late Appearance: In this continuity, they are predated by the Sisterhood of Dada, who were active since 1917. In the comics, neither roster of the Brotherhood of Dada was formed until long after the Brotherhood of Evil was established.
• Adapted Out: There is no indication that this version of the Brotherhood of Evil ever had Warp, Plasmus, Houngan, Phobia and Trinity as members.
• Card-Carrying Villain: They have "evil" in their very name, and it's not meant ironically.
• Demoted to Extra: The Brotherhood are the primary enemies of the Doom Patrol in the comics. While they're behind Mr. Nobody and were enemies of the original Doom Patrol in the show, they're ultimately Villains of Another Story to the current incarnation.
• Predecessor Villain: They were the Arch-Enemies of the original Doom Patrol, and Mr. Nobody's former employers.

The Brain / Ultimax

The Brain / Ultimax

Species:

Voiced by: Riley Shanahan (Voice, uncredited)

The leader of the Brotherhood of Evil and an enemy of the first Doom Patrol.

---

• Above Good and Evil: While the Brain does take over Cliff's body he admits he doesn't care about world conquest anymore. Instead he uses Cliff's body to dance.
• Adaptational Nationality: In the comics and nearly every other adaptation, he's depicted as having a very heavy French accent. Here, however, he has a very plain sounding, if bombastic American accent. Which is all the more funny given his reaction to Madame Rouge's accent back during WWII.
• Adaptational Sexuality: In the comics he is notably in a relationship with Monsieur Malah. Here they're literally just partners, with Brain even going after old women when he gets Cliff's body.
• Adaptation Name Change: Sort of. His comic book moniker is just "The Brain", though a robotic body he used was indeed named "Ultimax". Here, it's his chief alias. Season 3, however, flips this around and he's always referred to as just "The Brain".
• Arch-Enemy: To Mento. Is one to Niles Caulder as well, or rather, a really one-sided on his end, as he is intensely resentful of his success and sees him, and Caulder's creations, as their greatest threat. Niles Caulder, given his lack of concern or mentioning any awareness of the Brotherhood of Evil, even in the present day, doesn't really think that much of him.
• Brain in a Jar: He's a disembodied brain inside a high tech jar.
• Brain Monster: Steve Dayton claims that the Brain escaped, whether this is by its own or with assistance is unknown. It should be noted that there is a brain-sized crack in the glass case of the jar.
• Cruel and Unusual Death: Rita kills him by pouring boiling water directly on him while he's transplanted in Cliff's body. Seeing as he's just a disembodied organ, this would have been more agonizing than if he still had an organic body.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: The Brain has died multiple times in the comics (perishing in an explosion alongside Mallah at the conclusion of the original Arnold Drake run, doing so again in Grant Morrison's run shortly after they were revealed to be a gay couple and dying from having his tank used to beat Mallah to death in Salvation Run), but his perishing from having scalding hot water poured on his exposed brain is unique to this adaptation.
• Evil Is Petty: To a hilarious degree, as not only is he completely on-the-nose about the whole "Brotherhood of Evil" concept, but also enjoys doing small spiteful things or holding onto petty grudges for decades such as with Niles Caulder or with Madame Rouge over not returning to the past as he instructed to do, describing it as her having to do, essentially, a 'milk run' for them.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: He's a Brain in a Jar.
• Grand Theft Me: He pulls this on Cliff when Rouge captures him.
• Greater-Scope Villain: He's the one who sent Rouge to the future, though only plays a major role in the final two episodes of the third season.
• Laughably Evil: His frequent fits of rage and bickering with Mallah are certainly hilarious. Then it's revealed where he's been all this time in 2021 as a Retired Monster; he treats his Floridian retirement home as his new headquarters, casually chats up about the Superbowl, and stores his evil inventions in cardboard boxes labeled 'DEADLY', 'NON-DEADLY', and another crossing out 'WINTER LINENS' for 'TELEPORTATION' in the house, all while acting up his Like an Old Married Couple relationship with Mallah as he speaks with the bombast and theatrics of a still active supervillain. This doesn't make him any less dangerous once he gets back in the game however, even if his goal is no longer to take over the world.
• Like an Old Married Couple: He and Monsieur Mallah. They are always seen together, drive together, and live together. They even recorded a vinyl record singing together. They are also constantly bickering and affectionate with each other.
• Non-Action Big Bad: For reasons that should be obvious, he has Monsieur Mallah do his fighting for him.
• Retired Monster: By the time the story catches up to him in the present, he's abandoned the cause of Evil and is simply trying to enjoy living in Florida. This doesn't make him any less dangerous, however.
• Unseen No More: Only mentioned by Mento and Mr. Nobody in the respective first season episodes "Doom Patrol Patrol" and "Penultimate Patrol", before making a proper appearance in the third season episode "Vacay Patrol".

Monsieur Mallah

Monsieur Mallah

Species: Gorilla

Voiced by: Jonathan Lipow (Voice)

A Gorilla brought onto the Brotherhood of Evil. According to Mr. Nobody, he's actually pretty intelligent and speaks French.

---

• Badass Bandolier: He wears a bandolier stocked with bullets at all times.
• The Dragon: Like most versions of the character, he is subservient to The Brain as his top lieutenant.
• Heel–Face Turn: He is throughly done with the supervillain lifestyle, enjoying his retirement and tying Madame Rouge up when she tries to get him and the Brain to return to villainy, not even bothering to kill her.
• Intellectual Animal: Like the Brain, he is very intelligent and has the same pursuits as his master.
• Killer Gorilla: He's a supervillain gorilla.
• Like an Old Married Couple: He and the Brain. They are always seen together, drive together, and live together. They even recorded a vinyl record singing together. They are also constantly bickering and affectionate with each other. In the comics, Monsiuer Mallah confesses his love for the Brain, almost making them an official married couple.
• Older Than They Look: He doesn't appear to have aged at all since 1949, much longer than a regular gorilla, implying that whatever process gave him his intelligence also halted his aging.
• Retired Monster: In the present, he has almost no interest in returning to supervillainy and seems to actively discourage Madame Rouge from meeting the Brain, out of fear of interrupting their peaceful retirement.
• Spared by the Adaptation: Mallah died multiple times only to come back in the comics, but here simply abandons the Brain and is never heard from again.
• Unseen No More: Only indirectly mentioned by Mr. Nobody in the first season episode "Penultimate Patrol", before making a proper appearance in the third season episode "Vacay Patrol".

Laura De Mille / Madame Rouge

Laura De Mille / Madame Rouge

Species: Metahuman

Played by: Michelle Gomez

For more information, see her folder under The Doom Patrol.

Garguax

Garguax

Species: Alien

Played by: Stephen Murphy

An alien warrior employed by the Brotherhood of Evil to assassinate Rita Farr.

---

• Adaptational Nice Guy: He's significantly more pleasant than the world-conquering invader he was in the comics, as he has little interest in doing anything evil in the present time and, after finally having Rita Farr where he can kill her easily, chooses to spare her due to sympathizing with her trauma and seeing no reason to bother assassinating her.
• Affably Evil: Garguax gradually reveals himself to be a genuinely charming, friendly guy.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: He gets killed by his servant Samuelson, when in the comics he died at the end of Paul Kupperberg's run after the events of Invasion! (DC Comics) when the President ordered a laser satellite to destroy his ship on behalf of the Chief.
• Early-Bird Cameo: His cloak is seen as a trophy of the original Doom Patrol.
• Heroic Sacrifice: Willingly chooses to warn the heroes that Samuelson is plotting to kill them against his orders. Samuelson kills him for it.
• Odd Friendship: Immediately hits it off with Cliff because of their mutual hatred for Niles Caulder.
• Punch-Clock Villain: Garguax may be an assassin, but his villainy is confined to his job.
• Retired Monster: By the time the modern Doom Patrol run into him, he's completely given up on evil and found pleasure in the simple things of life. Notably, once he finally sees Rita Farr (whom he was supposed to destroy as his mission), he decides he should leave her alone upon seeing what a wreck she is.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: The fact that an alien conqueror has been hanging out in a vacation resort for decades is treated with casual surprise rather than alarm. Also helps that when he first arrived at the resort, the vacationers were only momentarily taken by surprise.

Samuelson

Samuelson

Species: Alien

Played by: Billy Boyd

Garguax's loyal and overzealous servant.

---

• Aerith and Bob: His boss is named Garguax while his name is pretty human.
• The Bad Guy Wins: He was the only villain to successfully kill the Doom Patrol. It didn't stick, but he still accomplished it and was never brought to justice over what he did.
• Bald of Evil: He has no hair and is even worse than Garguax.
• Canon Foreigner: He does not exist in the comics.
• Jerkass: Samuelson is far more kill-happy than his master. He's also quite the dick, given how he mocked Cyborg's name for no reason.
• Karma Houdini: He kills the Doom Patrol and Garguax and gets a way with it, as he's never seen again afterwards.
• Laughably Evil: He comes off as humorous due to having a habit of carrying around a phonograph to play dramatic music while giving his boss an overblown introduction before he enters the room.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: Played with. He presented as completely subservient to Garguax. The years of waiting for the Brain's orders have taken his toll on him, however, and he ultimately kills his master for the sake of a long-forgotten cause.
• Red/Green Contrast: He has red skin to contrast Garguax's green skin.

Former Members

Eric Morden / Mr. Nobody

Eric Morden / Mr. Nobody

^{Click here to see him as Mr. Nobody}

Species: Metahuman

Played by: Alan Tudyk, Ed Asner (old man disguise in "Flex Patrol"), Jovian Wade (Cyborg disguise in "Penultimate Patrol")

A villain with the power to drain the sanity of others.

---

• Adaptational Badass: In the comics Mr. Nobody's power was being insubstantial, and his insanity was just a byproduct of getting it. In the show his insanity makes him a Reality Warper.
• Adaptational Villainy: Much more aggressive and evil than his already homicidal comic book counterpart. His Grant Morrison version was also more of an Anti-Villain who genuinely wanted to improve the world and even cooperated with the Doom Patrol on occasion, who also didn't really consider himself a villain (albeit because he didn't believe in morality in the first place). Here, he not only has none of that depth but also openly identifies himself as a supervillain.
• Adapted Out: The Gerard Way run revealed him to have a daughter named Terry None, who has no indication of existing here.
• Beware the Silly Ones: He's very enjoyable and gets a lot of funny moments but it's also firmly established that he can be terrifying when pushed as shown by what he did to the previous Doom Patrol.
• Big Bad: He's the main villain of season 1, as the one responsible for kidnapping the Chief. However, his schemes eventually get out of his control when the Brotherhood of Dangerous Animals betray him in the finale, and he has to pull an Enemy Mine with the Doom Patrol.
• Body Horror: As a result of being exposed to an unknown energy source, Morden's body was distorted into various pieces or into various planes of reality as he gained destructive powers. Subverted by his own reaction.
  "I forked over a king's ransom to that demented genius, and if I had known what he'd had planned for me... I would have paid double."
• Character Catchphrase: Someone would ask who he was, and he usually replies with, "Me? I'm Nobody."
• Deadpan Snarker: He is an endless tide of snarky commentary and mockery.
• Didn't Think This Through: His downfall comes when he gets so wrapped up in narrating his new Enemy Mine with the Doom Patrol that he doesn't realize their plan will leave him still trapped in his painting.
• Drowning My Sorrows: After being ousted from the Brotherhood of Dangerous Animals, the Doom Patrol find him in Peeping Tom's downing multiple shots of booze. Even before that, he was clearly getting extremely drunk while lamenting that with his victory he doesn't know what else to do.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: In the past, he had a girlfriend named Millie who left him when he was turned down by the Brotherhood of Evil and she realized that despite all his grandiose ideas, he would never be on top. He would always remain a nobody. In "Penultimate Patrol" she appears in the White Space as Doctor Harrison points out that all of Mr. Nobody's powers and theatrics stem from the fact that Millie left him.
  Millie: That's just it, you're not a somebody. You're a nobody. And that's what you'll always be.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He's strongly against the Decreator turning the world into nothingness which is why he decides to temporarily work together with the Chief to prevent the end of the world.
• Evil Is Hammy: Alan Tudyk is clearly enjoying his villainous role.
• Fourth-Wall Observer:
  • Mr. Nobody's narration does this, saying things like "The critics are going to hate this show." And even alluding to viewership pertaining to things like Reddit and the people who were watching on the DC Universe.
  • He whines when he realizes that the Doom Patrol led to the unleashing of the Decreator, since, in his words:
    "I haven't even been in the last two episodes!"
  • He is very excited when he realizes the end of the first season is coming as he anticipates an impressive final battle rather than "more character driven bullshit".
• From Nobody to Nightmare: He openly describes himself as "a third-rate bad guy" and "a nameless henchman" before his transformation, and what little we see of him at that time comes across as timid, awkward and rather slow on the uptake. However, it's revealed that he was already a supervillain before then, though not a very successful one.
• A God Am I: Morden believes his powers make him a God. It's honestly hard to disagree.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: Cyborg believes Morden has this. "Penultimate Patrol" reveals that he was right on the money. The moment Morden is called out on his need for attention, his defences pretty much crumble.
  "Why else would Nobody lay a trap, make threats and mess with our heads? That's not omniscient. That's insecure!"
• Jumped at the Call: As he himself says, if he know what Von Fuchs' procedure would do to him, he'd pay him twice the price.
• Karma Houdini: Despite seemingly being trapped in the White Space, his escape sometime before Season 2 means he gets away scot-free with all the chaos he caused.
• Laughably Evil: Say what you will, he's got an excellent sense of screwball humor.
• Lemony Narrator: He's the narrator, and he's a Fourth-Wall Observer Deadpan Snarker.
• Named by the Adaptation: This continuity gives Eric as his forename, when in the comics his pre-Mr. Nobody self was only named as Mr. Morden and never had his given name revealed.
• New Powers as the Plot Demands: As a result of Von Fuchs's procedure, his power set is vaguely defined. His exposure to other-dimensional energy mutated his biology and granted him otherworldly abilities. "Penultimate Patrol" reveals at least one limit to his powers. He cannot warp reality if his narration is interrupted, which is what Rita does.
• Not So Omniscient After All: At one point he starts a dramatic ending narration only to be angered by the realization that the episode is still going. This is what leads to his seeming defeat in "Penultimate Patrol" as the members of the Doom Patrol outright refuse to play along to his script, leaving him powerless. However, he manages to easily turn the situation around by trapping them in a "Groundhog Day" Loop, leaving it ambiguous as to how weakened he really was.
• Now What?: After seemingly completing his goal of turning everyone against Caulder he becomes depressed because he doesn't know what else to do.
• Practically Joker: The perpetually grinning Mr. Nobody has an acerbic wit and loves to fuck around with his prey. Alan Tudyk even gives the character the same voice he gives the Joker in Harley Quinn.
• Put on a Bus: Somehow escapes from the White Space after seemingly being trapped in it in the season one finale. According to Beard Hunter, he got a job on "some animated bullcrap."
• Reality Warper: While it may or may not be limited to the donkey's Pocket Dimension (or not), he has that ability there.
• Sanity Slippage: His main ability allows him to inflict this on his enemies.
• Team Member in the Adaptation: Inverted in that the Sisterhood of Dada, this continuity's interpretation of the Brotherhood of Dada, has nothing to do with Mr. Nobody, when in the comics he was the founder and leader of both rosters.
• Tron Lines: His shadow-form has glowing blue lines along the edges of its "chunks," to give him more definition.
• Underestimating Badassery: The JLA doesn't see him as a serious threat, despite the fact that he was a member of the Brotherhood of Evil and he sucked an entire town into a donkey.
• Victory Is Boring: Even after achieving his victory in "Penultimate Patrol," he quickly goes from celebrating to alcoholic depression when he realizes he has nothing else to do.
• Villains Never Lie: Cruelly zigzagged. His insinuations that Silas messed with Cyborg's memories are true, but he added a fake video to push them against each other. And it worked.
• Where's the Fun in That?: He dislikes the idea of hurting the Doom Patrol directly, saying it wouldn't be fun, so he instead tries to drive them insane.
• Written-In Absence: He's absent from the White Space in season 2, which Beard Hunter explains is because he got a gig on "some animated bullcrap".

Doctor Fuchs

Sturmbannführer Heinrich Von Fuchs

^{Click here to see him in the past}

Species: Metahuman

Played by: Julian Richings

A Nazi scientist who migrated to Paraguay after WWII for health reasons.

---

• Adaptation Name Change: He is this continuity's interpretation of the Nazi scientist who turned Morden into Mr. Nobody, who in the comics was named Dr. Bruckner.
• Adaptation Origin Connection: In addition to turning Eric Morden into Mr. Nobody, his technology also ends up creating Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man, whose origin in the comics involved neither Mr. Nobody nor Dr. Bruckner.
• Composite Character: He's a mash-up of the comics' depiction of General Immortus (being an aged man who has artificially prolonged his lifespan and is revealed to have ties to the Brotherhood of Evil in the third season) and Dr. Bruckner (being a Nazi scientist who caused Morden to become Mr. Nobody).
• Dark Lord on Life Support: He is held alive by tubes plugged into his body.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: He gets killed by Jane's Silver Tongue personality, when Dr. Bruckner in the comics was killed by Mr. Nobody shortly after he created the latter.
• Greater-Scope Villain: He created Mr. Nobody, but doesn't play an active role after getting killed in the third episode.
• Herr Doktor: And he really hams it up, with the stereotypical German outfits for his minions.
• Hive Queen: His henchmen turn out to be a Hive Mind under his control.
• Mad Scientist: A doctor committed to "expanding the capabilities of the human body", as his puppet show explains.
• Punny Name: Much humor is had at the name "Fuchs".
• Stupid Jetpack Hitler: He is capable of giving superpowers to people who can pay for them.
• The Von Trope Family: His full name is Doctor Von Fuchs.

Cult of the Unwritten Book

In General

The Cult of the Unwritten Book

Mother Archon

^{Click here to see her human guise}

Father Archon

^{Click here to see his human guise}

The Little Sisters of Our Lady the Razor

The Hoodmen

The Dry Bachelors

Played by: Lilli Birdsell (Mother Archon), Michael Scialabba (Father Archon)

A cult dedicated to summoning the Decreator.

Martha Patterson, later known as Mother Archon, was their leader; Todd Patterson, later known as Father Archon, was her husband and the father of Elliot Patterson.

The Little Sisters of Our Lady of the Razor, the Dry Bachelors (beings made of dead skin cells and letters that were never sent), and the Hoodmen (the royal guards of Nurnheim) were their agents.

---

• Absurdly Sharp Blade: The Sisters' blades can seemingly cut through reality.
• Above Good and Evil: Robotman calls out Martha for her insane, fanatical goal and monstrous parenting. She responds by saying that is merely his perception as an unenlightened one who can't appreciate the gift of oblivion the Decreator brings.
• Abusive Parents: Posing as a kind mother for years, Martha drops the act once her partner spills the truth to Elliot. She then has no qualms being violent and hostile towards him.
• Adaptation Species Change: The Archons in the original Decreator arc where sapient puppets who summoned the entity out of spite at being abandoned. The show Archons are human cultists who ascended as a "gift" from the Decreator.
• Adaptational Heroism: Todd, the male Archon, regrets what he's doing to his son and warns him of his terrifying destiny. His comic counterpart was evil to the end.
• Dead Guy on Display: In Nurnheim, Todd is still dead from having his throat slashed by Martha. His corpse sits right next to Martha.
• Due to the Dead: Martha apparently took Todd's corpse to rule as fellow Archon with her. A very twisted example as she killed him to begin with.
• God Save Us from the Queen!: Mother Archon is essentially the queen on Nurnheim, and is quite crazy.
• Heel–Face Door-Slam: Todd warns his son of his true destiny and gets his throat slashed immediately afterwards.
• In the Hood: As their name implies, the Hoodmen all wear hooded robes.
• Mama Bear: Subverted with Martha. She is very protective of Elliot/the Unwritten Book and will kill anyone who tries to take him away from her. This is because he is crucial to her plans, and after he dies she stops giving a damn.
• Nuns Are Spooky: The Sisters are an army of blade-wielding Bandaged Faced nuns.
• Our Archons Are Different: True to Grant Morrison's run they are agents of an evil god, a status as such a reward for service to the Decreator. Mother Archon at least has reality warping powers.
• Sizeshifter: Mother Archon has the ability to change her size, but only in Nurnheim.
• Slashed Throat: Todd, courtesy of Martha.

The Decreator

The Decreator

The Decreator is an entity believed by the Cult of the Unwritten Book to be the shadow created by God's first light. Its goals are to decreate the universe.

---

• The Anti-God: The Cult of the Unwritten Book believes it essentially to be this.
• Death by Adaptation: Is whisked out of existence after being locked into a staring contest with its restorative counterpart the Recreator, when in the comics the best the Doom Patrol could do was make it so that the Decreator's efforts to unmake the universe occurred at such an extremely slow pace that it was no longer an immediate threat to all existence.
• Eldritch Abomination: As a malevolent shadow of light, it is essentially this. Its opposite, the Recreator, is as well.
• Enemy Mine: Its existence becomes this to Mr. Nobody: only he is allowed to defeat the Doom Patrol, not the Decreator. This leads to Mr. Nobody helping Niles and the Doom Patrol create the Recreator and save existence.
• Faceless Eye: Though a small part of the entity's is seen, the eye is the primary feature.
• God Needs Prayer Badly: Its existence is essentially this: because its believers believe it exists, the Decreator exists. Its opposite, the Recreator, is the same.
• Reduced to Dust: Anything the Decreator looks upon becomes this, being decreated.

Bureau of Normalcy

In General

An organization dedicated to eradicating anything they deem to be abnormal. They quickly take an interest in the Doom Patrol after rediscovering Danny the Street, but they have a particularly long history with Larry and the Chief.

---

• Adaptation Name Change: They are known as N.O.W.H.E.R.E. in the comics, with the change being likely to avert having the members talking only in phrases that form the acronym.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: Their distaste for Danny is linked to homo/transphobia and the Bureau generally seems to operate as a metaphor for oppressive institutions.
• Everyone Has Standards: Downplayed and Subverted. They find the Beard Hunter as disgusting as the other "threats" to normalcy but they aren't exactly wrong in his case. Yet they also consider his powers useful enough to hire him for their own ends.
• Fallen Hero: What they consider Morris, one of their agents who went looking for Danny the Street and ended up Becoming the Mask as a drag queen called Maura Lee Karupt. They also have a particular fixation with Chief's defection from their ranks. They themselves were originally an organization dedicated to cataloguing oddities, but at some point shifted goals to imprisoning and murdering them.
• Fantastic Racism: On top of their homophobia. If the Chief's behavior in the early 1900s is any indication of their beliefs, they consider some non-conforming oddities "primitive animals."
• Harmless Villain: Played with. Despite their quirks, they're introduced as a real threat and they often do lasting damage to the Doom Patrol. Individual agents, however, tend to be basic tools at best and losers trying to recreate Reservoir Dogs torture at worst. It's only as a group that they remain effective.
• Heteronormative Crusader: They crack several jokes at the expense of the Dannyzens to demonstrate their disgust with their nonconforming lifestyle. In the past, they seemed to partly justify their torture of Larry due to his homosexuality.
• Hypocrite:
  • They despise anything "abnormal", but they've demonstrated a willingness to use tech that requires people to look at elbows and work with the Beard Hunter. Both hardly the peak of their standards of normal. They've also been shown to create some of the abominations they hunt in hopes of studying the results. Case in point: Larry Trainor, Rita Farr, Cliff Steele, and Crazy Jane.
  • More importantly, they allow big shots like the Justice League to roam about with no visible objections, while targeting weaker superheroes. They really, really don't practice what they preach unless they can get away with it, like real cowards.
• Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: They were originally designed to research and catalogue the various supernatural/scientific discoveries of the 20th century. By the time Larry encountered them, they've long since lost the more noble ideals of their mission.
• Meaningful Rename: Going out of their way to change from "The Bureau of Oddities" to "Normalcy" quickly demonstrates where the priorities of the organization really lie.
• Politically Incorrect Villain: They really, really hate LGBTQ+ individuals.
• Putting on the Reich: Their helmets resemble those on Nazi soldiers.
• The Sociopath: One scientist tells Cliff that they've routinely scrapped brains in machines just like him and are happy to do so to him because he isn't a genius.

Darren Jones

Darren Jones

Species: Human

Played by: Jon Briddell

The main face of the Bureau of Normalcy in the present, Darren holds a vendetta against the sentient street known as Danny, whom he blames for his friend Morris Wilson's disappearance.

---

• Adaptational Badass: He's treated as a much bigger threat than his comics counterpart, partly due to the fact he's a high-ranking official now instead of a random civilian. While in the comics Darren used stolen means to hurt people, in the show Darren can order other agents to attack and destroy whoever he pleases.
• Age Lift: He's significantly older than his comics counterpart, who appeared at most to be in his 30s.
• Ax-Crazy: Goes into a furious rant about stabbing his wife in the eye with a fork, just because a plastic fork didn't match the rest of the chinaware.
  Jane: You sick fuck!
• Big Bad Wannabe: His hunt for the Doom Patrol makes him a secondary threat to Mister Nobody's rampant chaos in the first season. However, he's only really a threat with the backing of the Bureau, and despite Taking a Level in Badass his return in season three is treated as little more than a joke, and more of a mild annoyance than a genuine threat.
• Bullying a Dragon: He really underestimates the Doom Patrol, dismissing them as a bunch of freaks.
• The Comically Serious: While he himself is serious, the sheer lack of concern the Doom Patrol gives him in "Undead Patrol" quickly rankles him and causes him to complain about them not bothering to ask him anything about what he has suffered away from them.
• Death by Adaptation: He ends up killed by Cliff after begging him to end his tortured existence as a zombie. In the comics, the worst that happened to Darren Jones was getting fired after he was caught by his boss in drag.
• Death Seeker: Becomes this after his zombification, which Cliff unwillingly provides him.
• Faux Affably Evil: He tries to put on an air of politeness, but his obsession with normality leads to some impressively depraved acts.
• "It" Is Dehumanizing: Rarely refers to Cyborg as "he" and typically only when dealing with Silas, who he still needs support from.
• Obsessively Normal: Fitting as the main focus of the Bureau, the man's dedicated his life to the mission of normality.
• Our Werebeasts Are Different: His return in season three reveals his injuries from his previous defeat have turned him into a were-butt.
• Retired Monster: After his zombification, he retires to a farm to keep others safe from his compulsion to eat brains.
• Villainous Breakdown: He keeps his cool in every interaction, right up until the butts get loose.
• Villainous Valour: Whatever else can be said about the man, he resisted his new obsession with brains after his zombification and embraced a life of solitude to avoid eating anyone.
• We Used to Be Friends: Darren and Morris were friends for years, and when Morris was thought to be dead when he entered Danny the Street, it set Darren on a mission to find him and Danny. However, unknown to him, Morris became Maura Lee Karupt, finding her true calling as a drag queen and lived with the Dannyzens.
• You Are What You Hate: In "Undead Patrol", Darren Jones, who hates abnormal and supernatural beings, becomes infected and turns into a Were-Butt. And then a zombie.
• Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: His wife adored Rita Farr's movies. So much so that they inspired a 50s themed dinner party. Considering Darren revealed this just after he had tortured all of Rita's friends, she's... less than appreciative.
• Your Brain Won't Be Much of a Meal: The zombiefied Doom Patrol in "Undead Patrol" are uninterested in eating his brain, saying it doesn't smell like he has one.

Paul Trainor

Paul Trainor

Species: Human

Played by: John Getz, Fletcher Hammand (young)

One of Larry's sons and part of Larry's only surviving family.

Brotherhood of Dangerous Animals

In General

A hyper-religious cockroach and a rat whose mother was run over by Cliff. Under Mr. Nobody's direction they join forces to take down the Doom Patrol.

---

• Expy: Something of a riff on the original Brotherhood of Dada, as they are brought together by Mr. Nobody for the sole purpose of messing with the Doom Patrol, and this continuity's interpretation of the Brotherhood of Dada is not only renamed the Sisterhood of Dada, but predates both the Brotherhood of Evil and Morden turning into Mr. Nobody.
• Final Boss: Through Dorothy Spinner's reality warping, they somehow bumble their way into becoming the final threat of season one.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: Both of them turn out to be far more dangerous than expected, in the right situation.
  • Admiral Whiskers successfully screws around with Cliff's wiring and splitting the team apart.
  • Ezekiel gets turned into a giant by Dorothy, allowing him to wreak havoc on Danny as he pleases.

Ezekiel

Ezekiel

Species: Cockroach

Voiced by: Curtis Armstrong

A hyper-religious cockroach obsessed with bringing about the end of the world.

---

• A God Am I: What Ezekiel's fervent religious belief eventually descends into. Since cockroaches can survive so much, there's no proof that he isn't God, as far as he's concerned.
• Large Ham: Curtis Armstrong is clearly having the time of his life with Ezekiel's Chewing the Scenery.

Admiral Whiskers

Admiral Whiskers

Species: Rat

A rat whose mother was run over by Cliff, leaving him with an aggressive desire for revenge.

---

• Create Your Own Villain: Cliff's Accidental Murder of his mother is Admiral Whiskers' Start of Darkness.
• You Killed My Father: Admiral Whiskers's mother's Accidental Murder is his whole motivation for revenge.

Sisterhood of Dada

In General

The Sisterhood of Dada

---

• Adaptational Diversity: Compared to the original Brotherhood, the Sisterhood is altered to be filled with more women and PoC.
• Adaptational Early Appearance: The Sisterhood predates the Brotherhood of Evil in this continuity, when in the comics neither roster of the Brotherhood of Dada was formed until long after the Brotherhood of Evil was established.
• Adaptational Intelligence: The entire team hold their own philosophies and beliefs on Dada instead of allowing Mr. Nobody to speak on their behalf.
• Adaptational Name Change: From the Brotherhood of Dada to the Sisterhood.
• Adapted Out: The Sisterhood uses members from both rosters of the Brotherhood of Dada in the comics, but only uses Agent ! from the second roster, leaving out Love Glove, Alias the Blur, Number None and The Toy.
• The Ageless: None of them have aged since 1917.
• Anti-Villain: All they want is to make a better, honest world. The fact that they were persecuted and forced to be weapons for the Bureau only makes them more sympathetic.
• The Bad Guy Wins: They successfully unleash the Eternal Flagellation and, by all accounts, genuinely forced people across the world to confront their inner demons and struggles.
• Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Madame Rouge and the Fog are the only members who go by the codename used by their comics counterparts.
• Disc-One Final Boss: After being set up as the main villains of season three, they're quickly sidelined by Rita's quest for revenge against Rouge.
• Non-Indicative Name: Played With. Two of the seven members of the Sisterhood are male. The name still mostly fits in that the majority are female and the group as a whole is ideologically opposed to things like patriarchy and toxic masculinity.
• Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: They would have been perfectly happy singing and dancing even while working for the Bureau of Normalcy if Laura De Mille hadn't forced them to be weapons.
• Team Member in the Adaptation: Neither Madame Rouge nor Elasti-Girl were ever affiliated with the Brotherhood of Dada in the comics. This is also inverted in that Mr. Nobody has nothing to do with the Sisterhood, when in the comics he was the founder and leader of both rosters of the Brotherhood of Dada.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Their ultimate goal is to strip the world of false pretentions and identities, expose evil behaviors, and hold the world accountable for their actions. They don't try to kill anyone except possibly Madame Rouge, and even then that is only Rita's objective.

Shelley Byron / The Fog

Shelley Byron / The Fog

Played by: Wynn Everett

A member of the Sisterhood of Dada with the ability alter reality in thick fog.

---

• Adaptational Name Change: From Byron Shelley to Shelley Byron.
• Affably Evil: Charismatic and pleasant, the Fog is introduced treating Kay with care and encouraging Jane to express herself as an individual.
• Card-Carrying Villain: Toyed with. She firmly believes in her cause of reshaping the world, but also freely admits that she's a bit of a "pretentious art school student."
• Foil: To Jane. While Jane is one piece for dozens of superpowered personalities, Shelley can absorb many people into her fog without being overwhelmed by them.
• Gender Flip: In the comics the Fog was a man named Byron Shelley, but here she's a woman named Shelley Byron.
• The Leader: While the Sisterhood has no official authority, she acts as The Face and generally seems to help direct the team.
• Shout-Out: Named after Mary Shelley and Lord Byron.

Lloyd / Frenzy

Lloyd Jefferson / Frenzy

Played by: Miles Mussenden

An artist and member of the Sisterhood of Dada with parts of a bicycle attached to his back.

---

• Adaptational Intelligence: The original Frenzy was illiterate and rather blunt with his approach to supervillainy. By comparison, this Frenzy is highly philosophical and eager to debate.
• Foil: A highly anti-government anarchist with metal machinery attached to himself. He's immediately pit against Cyborg, whose trust in justice and his own technology is wavering.

Holly / Sleepwalk

Holly McKenzie / Sleepwalk

Played by: Anita Kalathara

A narcoleptic member of the Sisterhood of Dada who plays Barry Manilow through headphones to keep awake.

---

• Nice Girl: When she meets an amnesiac Rita in 1917, she reveals herself to be surprisingly pleasant and friendly to everyone she meets.
• Unconscious Objector: She has superstrength while sleepwalking, and she's strong enough to punch Cliff across a room.

Sachiko / The Quiz

Sachiko / The Quiz

Played by: Gina Hiraizumi

A germophobic member of the Sisterhood of Dada kept in a glass case.

---

• Adaptational Wimp: The Quiz has every superpower that no one has thought of yet, but in the comics the ability resets in every fight the Quiz is in. This is not the case for the show's Quiz, who is losing more powers with every day that passes.
• Does Not Speak Common: She only speaks in Japanese, but one of her many powers allows her to be understood.
• Named by the Adaptation: In the comics The Quiz's real name was unknown, but here she's named Sachiko.
• Tragic Villain: Because of her power she's becoming more irrelevant as time progresses, and it's implied that this makes it difficult for her to even appear in the physical world.

Malcolm / Agent !

Malcolm DuPont / Agent !

Played by: Micah Joe Parker

A man who blends into every room he's in.

---

• Adaptational Attractiveness: Agent ! typically wore garish outfits and had a disheveled look about him, all in the aim of standing out. Comparatively, Malcolm is well-dressed and traditionally handsome. It helps that he doesn't have a big red exclamation point over his face.
• Canon Character All Along: He debuts in "Dead Patrol" as a disfigured man in the afterlife who is familiar with Rita for unexplained reasons. It isn't until later that he's revealed to be this continuity's Agent !, who was the lover of Rita during her time as a member of the Sisterhood when she traveled back in time and lost her memory and had his disfigured appearance explained in "Bird Patrol" by establishing that he died wearing a mask modeled after Rita's visage when she partially melts due to losing her composure.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Agent ! in the comics was shot by government snipers. Here, he is killed by agents of the Bureau of Normalcy.
• The Lost Lenore: To Rita and all of the Sisterhood of Dada, he proves to be a major motivating factor for their actions in the present.
• Named by the Adaptation: In the comics Malcolm's last name was unknown, but here it's DuPont.
• Promoted to Love Interest: He enters a romantic relationship with Rita in the past, while the two had never met in the comics.
• Together in Death: The series ends with Rita reuniting with him in the afterlife after her death.

Laura De Mille / Madame Rouge

Agents of Immortus

Immortus (Spoilers Ahead)

Immortus / Isabel Feathers

Played by: Charity Cervantes

An immortal being whose "essence" was apparently used by Niles Caulder in his immortality experiments, the test subjects being Rita, Larry, Jane and Cliff.

Originally an aspiring stage actress named Isabel Feathers, she fell into a timestream opened up by Madame Rouge. After assimilating the timestream's properties, Isabel gained the ability to manipulate time.

---

• Adaptational Attractiveness: As General Immortus in the comics is consistently depicted as a bald old man and Isabel Feathers is a beautiful woman with a full head of hair, this continuity's Immortus is obviously considerably better-looking than her comic counterpart.
• Adaptational Badass: In the comics General Immortus - although his origins are unknown - is never shown to be anything more than a human whose only power is immortality. Here Immortus is some kind of extradimensional being of great power according to Kipling.
• Adaptational Late Appearance: Immortus doesn't show up until the fourth and final season, while her true identity showed up as early as season 2. In the original comics General Immortus was the very first villain the Doom Patrol fought.
• Adaptational Superpower Change: General Immortus in the comics has no powers other than longevity, while this version of the character is also a Time Master and doesn't age.
• Big Bad: Of Season 4. The agents of Immortus steal the Doom Patrol's longevity to summon her from the timestream, creating a final antagonist that's not only a Reality Warper, but also leaving the heroes too aged to pose a threat.
• Body Horror: Upon becoming Immortus, Isabel grew an unsightly mass of flesh on the back of her neck. The Doom Patrol are appropriately grossed out by it, only moreso when Rouge tells them Niles removed it and made it into a pendant, which had turned black by the present day.
• Bright Is Not Good: Isabel tends to wear bright colors making her look like a relic from the mid-20th century.
• Canon Character All Along: She debuts in the second season as an ordinary actress, the fourth season revealing she's this continuity's interpretation of General Immortus.
• Decomposite Character: While she is this continuity's version of General Immortus, certain aspects of her comic incarnation go to Heinrich Von Fuchs (being an extremely aged man who artificially prolonged his lifespan in addition to having ties to the Brotherhood of Evil) and Cliff Steele (who is revealed in the fourth season episode "Portal Patrol" to be responsible for crippling Niles Caulder through a Stable Time Loop).
• Dark Messiah: A deity of human origin with the power to throw the passage of time out of whack unless she receives worship.
• Do Not Call Me "Paul": In "Immortimas Patrol", she flips out over Larry addressing her as Isabel instead of Immortus.
• The Dreaded: The entirety of the Knights Templar are horrified to find out Immortus is very much real.
• Eye Twitch: Isabel's eye starts twitching when she's told the Cloverton celebration is not about her, but the Doom Patrol.
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: Nobody was expecting the deity of some deranged cult to be a dainty young woman.
• Freudian Excuse: If her one-woman show in "Tomb Patrol" is any indication, her narcissism and desire to be admired by everyone stems from her mother constantly putting her down.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: Isabel was just a budding actress until she ran into Madam Rouge, whose negligence caused her to fall into the time stream that hadn't yet closed. Come Season 4 and exposure to temporal energies turned Isabel into Immortus.
• Gender Flip: Immortus is a woman here, when General Immortus was a man in the comics.
• Heel–Face Turn: After meeting the Butts and discovering their surprising musical talent, she abandons her plans for revenge and godhood and goes on tour with them across time and space, becoming the star she always wanted to be. Out of gratitude for introducing them, she even restores the Patrol's immortality... by giving them her toenail clippings to eat.
• It's All About Me: Isabel was hoping to be Cloverton's poster girl after returning home. To her disappointment, she's told by the mayor that she's only viewed as a damsel that was rescued and as such the town's festival gave her little focus. Enraged with jealousy, Isabel distorted reality to make herself the centre of the universe.
• More than Mind Control: The Doom Patrol easily succumbed to the effects of Immortimus Day precisely because it removed all the angst from their lives. Cliff and Larry were healed, Rita's youth was restored and Jane was a singular being.
• Pet the Dog: In the final episode, to show her Heel–Face Turn she gives the Doom Patrol her toe nail clippings that will restore their youth, and she even gives Cliff a crystal that allows him to see Rory's future life at the moment of Cliff's death.
• Psychopathic Womanchild: Despite being an adult who was stuck in a timestream for an unfathomable period, Immortus acts like a bratty teenager or even a toddler when things don't work out in her favor.
• Reality Warper: Fuelled by her warped ego, she creates "Immortimas Day", a Christmas-like day which everyone celebrates with musical numbers, never feels emotions outside of happiness and the day never ends.
• Soul Fragment: It's eventually revealed that the Doom Patrol's inability to age was due to carrying fragments of Immortus. Once the agents gather them all together, Immortus is able to assume a corporeal form.
• Time Master: Immortus can rewind time whenever she lets slip her true nature.
• Villain Song: "Immortimas Patrol" ends with her singing "You're All Doomed", where she essentially lashes out over the Doom Patrol standing up to her and no longer agreeing to play along with the fantasy world she's made for them.
• Voice of the Legion: Whenever Isabel Feathers uses her Immortus powers, her voice becomes distorted and has a reverberating effect.
• Was Once a Man: Immortus was originally a normal human until Rouge accidentally trapped her in the time stream. Centuries spent outside of normal time and space have transformed her into an immortal Reality Warper.

The Cartoonist

Doctor Janus

Doctor Janus

Played by: Timeca Seretti

An emotion vampire working for Immortus.

---

• Adaptational Late Appearance: She debuts in the fourth and final season, when her comics counterpart was one of the Doom Patrol's earliest adversaries, being encountered five issues before their debut comic My Greatest Adventure was rebranded as Doom Patrol volume one.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: To a degree, as while she is still a villain aiming to steal the Doom Patrol's immortality, her comics counterpart was a Nazi.
• Gender Flip: She was male in the comics.

Rama / Mr. 104

Rama / Mr. 104

Played by: Sendhil Ramamurthy

A former prisoner of the Ant Farm with the ability to control the elements on the periodic table.

---

• Adaptation Name Change: His real name is Rama rather than John Dubrovny.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: By the end of the series, he is a couple with Larry Trainor, when their comic counterparts were never in any kind of relationship.
• Adaptational Attractiveness: He's much better-looking than his comic counterpart.
• Adaptational Hairstyle Change: He's clean-shaven when his comic counterpart has a beard.
• Adaptational Heroism: This interpretation of Mr. 104 isn't a villain and only worked with Immortus to find a way to reverse his condition, plus he reforms to become a willing ally to the Doom Patrol after he learns the truth about Immortus.
• Adaptational Late Appearance: He debuts in the fourth and final season, when his comic counterpart was originally encountered by the Doom Patrol back in the original Arnold Drake run.
• Race Lift: In the comics, Mr. 104 is a white American. In the show, he's played by Indian-American actor Sendhil Ramamurthy, and has an Indian-British background.

Richard Frank / Torminox

Richard Frank / Torminox

Played by: Tyler Mane

A Silver Age comic-book villain come to life who now serves the Cult of Immortus. Also the father of Casey Brinke.

---

• Adaptation Name Change: His surname is changed from Brinke to Frank.
• Allegorical Character: He represents Dorothy's increasingly complicated relationship with her late father as she comes to realize that for all that he loved her, he still hurt her and harmed others for his own ends, much in the same way that Torminox keeps insisting that he has no beef with Casey even as he hurts her new friends.
• Captain Ersatz: Torminox is a purple-skinned Galactic Conqueror who had a strained relationship with his daughter, just like Thanos.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He has a deep, menacing voice to accentuate his villainous nature.
• Joker Immunity: Dorothy brings up that Casey repeatedly killed him during their battles in the Space Case comic book, only for him to always come back alive and well. During her first fight with Torminox in the real world, Casey hesitates to finish her father off due to the knowledge that death is permanent in the real world and being afraid of killing her father for good.
• Pyrrhic Victory: He manages to force Dorothy to hand over the Pendant of Immortus in exchange for her friends being restored, but not before Dorothy manages to shame him by pointing out what a terrible dad he is. He wins, but he feels demoralized.

Other Villains

Steve Larsen / Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man

Steve Larsen / Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man

Species: Metahuman

Played by: Alec Mapa

An average tourist who came to Fuchtopia in the hopes of being transformed, and got his wish.

---

• Adaptational Dumbass: Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man in the comics was a scientist who gained his powers from one of his experiments gone wrong, while this version of the character is such a borderline Stupid Crook that he can't even rob a convenience store without screwing up.
• Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, he could turn any part of his body into any animal, vegetable (plant) and mineral. Here he seems to be stuck with what he's got (See Half-Human Hybrid).
  • He also can't control his dinosaur head at all, resulting in it turning on him and clamping down on his human head during an attempted convenience store robbery because it was agitated by their Stocking Mask and the sudden yelling.
• Adaptation Name Change: His first name is Sven in the comics and Steven in the show.
• Adaptation Origin Connection: In this continuity, he is transformed into his current state by the same technology Heinrich Von Fuchs used to turn Eric Morden into Mr. Nobody, when in the comics neither Mr. Nobody nor Dr. Bruckner had anything to do with Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man's origins.
• Beneath Notice: It’s unclear if the Bureau of Normalcy has ignored him because of his assistance in the Fuchs investigation or because he's about on the same level of threat as the Beard Hunter.
• Butt-Monkey: Each of his appearances have something horrible happen to him, usually with him getting injured. He survives because of his powers, and is still funny to watch.
• Canon Character All Along: He initially appears to be an ordinary, if eccentric, tourist in his debut episode "Puppet Patrol", but The Stinger shows him emerge from Von Fuchs' machine transformed, showing that he's actually this continuity's take on the Doom Patrol's iconic foe Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man.
• Cloudcuckoolander: After assessing his budget accordingly, Steve's idea of a discount superpower to have installed was "magnet feet" that he could use to walk on walls.
• Cursed with Awesome: Upon seeing his new form, Steve immediately blurts out, "Cool!"
• Demoted to Extra: The original version was one of the Patrol's recurring adversaries and a serious threat, as you'd expect from having the power to change into literally anything. In the series he only shows up sometimes on the news to show another humiliating moment in his "supervillain career".
• Disabled in the Adaptation: He wears glasses, when Sven Larson in the comics did not.
• Even Evil Has Standards: He is visibly uncomfortable by the implications that Doctor Von Fuchs created Nazi super-soldiers.
• Half-Human Hybrid: Most of his body is inhuman, sporting a right arm and leg made of plant matter, a left leg made of crystalline stones, and a saurian left arm and extra head.
• Harmless Villain: Whatever powers he may have, he seems to only use them to... rob grocery stores, which he isn't even very good at.
• LEGO Genetics: As a result of spending too much time in the chamber.
• Multiple Head Case: He has a second, dinosaur-esque head. A billboard gag in Season 2 reveals that the dinosaur side is female and has slowly become sentient, now calling herself "Denise" and writing a best-selling tell-all memoir apparently badmouthing Steve.
• Mythology Gag: He was from Sweden in the comics. In the show, he's stated to be from Sweden, New York.
• Power Incontinence: Of a sort, at the very least dealing with his raptor head. It seems it has a life of its own, doesn't always listen to what he says, on one occasion attacked him, and has enough sentience to publish a successful novel.
• Race Lift: Swedish in the comics, played by a Filipino-American actor in the show.
• Spanner in the Works: Possibly. His mutation seems to have put whatever's left of Fuch's operations under investigation, to the point of attempted assassination.
• Unusually Uninteresting Sight: Played with. He certainly gets people's attention, but rather than consider him a deadly supervillain, the news just covers him under their "Stupid Criminal of the Week" segment. Which isn't entirely incorrect.

Codpiece

Codpiece

Played by: Joseph Aviel

A bank robber with a laser cannon mounted over his groin.

---

• Adaptational Hairstyle Change: He has much longer hair than his comics counterpart and also has a beard when he was clean-shaven in the comics.
• In Name Only: Barely has anything in common with his comic counterpart other than having an artillery weapon on his crotch.
• Monster of the Week: Like his comics counterpart, he only appears in one story and never appears again after he's finally defeated.
• One Phone Call: After he's arrested, he takes Dr. Harrison's advice of using his one phone call to contact his mother.

Daddy

Daddy

Played by: David A MacDonald (Underground)

"Sweet, sweet Kay."

An impression of Kay's father who manifests as a monstrous giant made of puzzle pieces. He dwells in The Well at the depths of the Underground.

---

• Adaptational Attractiveness: In the comics, Daddy was a representation of Jane's father, though he was depicted as a giant monster made from insects, excrement and puzzle pieces. Here, he's just a thousand living puzzle pieces in the shape of Jane's father.
• Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: He's an enormous monster made of puzzle pieces.
• Back from the Dead: After seemingly being excised in season 1, in season 2 Kay and Jane discover that the "Miranda" who has been running around is in fact Daddy, or some form of them.
• Battle in the Center of the Mind: Cliff and Jane engage him at The Well, which exists in the depths of Jane's psyche.
• Blood Knight: While pretending to be Miranda and talking to Dorothy, they showed interest in fighting Candlemaker—even despite, or because of, how easily it killed two of Jane's fellow personas—and was disappointed when Dorothy refused to summon it.
• Character Catchphrase: Whenever they say "Sweet, sweet, baby" followed by the name of whomever they're referring to. This also reveals in season 2 that this personality is pretending to be Miranda.
• Enemy Within: He's a violent and destructive entity birthed by Kay's psychological trauma.
• Half the Man He Used to Be: He rips Cliff in half at the waist when the latter attempts to defend Jane from him.
• Hate Sink: The real "Daddy" raped and abused his daughter until she developed schizophrenia, and the metaphysical one tries to torment her until she commits psychic suicide. It doesn't get more vile and loathsome than that.
• Kill and Replace: They didn't kill Miranda, she committed suicide of her own volition, but when two other personalities are killed by Candlemaker, "Miranda" seemingly returns; however, it becomes apparent by "Wax Patrol" that Daddy is just running around pretending to be Miranda.
• Not Quite Dead: Jane defeats him at the end of "Jane Patrol" by declaring that she's no longer afraid of him, but his whispered voice heard during "Ezekiel Patrol" indicates he hasn't been entirely excised from the Underground.
• Perverted Sniffing: After taking control of Jane's body, he creepily leans in close to Dorothy and sniffs her.
• Terms of Endangerment: He does not have good intentions for anyone he addresses as "Sweet, sweet baby..."
• Villain with Good Publicity: As "Miranda", they're able to gain support of the other personalities quite easily thanks to their cult-like charm, and they easily ingrain themselves to the Doom Patrol after taking over as Primary. Jane and Kay are the only ones to think something is afoot.

Ernest Franklin / Beard Hunter

Ernest Franklin / Beard Hunter

Species: Metahuman

Played by: Tommy Snider

Ernest Franklin, also known as Beard Hunter, is a freelance mercenary. Using his beard-based metahuman powers, Ernest hunts the world's bearded men. Franklin is a Pogonophiliac, and takes sexual pleasure from consuming facial hair. He has the ability to obtain information and powers when he consumes people's beards.

---

• Adaptational Badass: Well, relatively. He's still a joke, but his obsession with beards certainly didn't give him powers in the comics.
• Adaptational Ugliness: In the comic, he's an attractive, muscular guy, but in the show, he's an overweight man.
• Adaptation Dye-Job: In the comics, he has blond hair, but in the show, he has brown hair.
• Ambiguously Gay: It is unknown if he's straight or not since he isn't shown to be attracted to women. It's implied he's interested in men with facial hair.
• Ascended Extra: He's a recurring character here, when his comics counterpart was a one-shot villain who died in his only appearance.
• Basement-Dweller: He’s an overweight, full-grown man who currently lives in his mother’s basement.
• Heel–Face Revolving Door: His time with Danny chills him out considerably and he's content to just live a normal life. Then he falls off the wagon and lets Mr. Nobody conquer Danny in exchange for beard hair.
• Laser-Guided Karma: His hunt for Niles's beard leads him right to a fake Niles Caulder doll... and a giant monster.
• Malicious Misnaming: Hammerhead calls him "Pube Stalker."
• Nightmare Fetishist: He has a disturbing habit of eating people's beards. He seems to be a literal fetishist in that beards get him sexually aroused, but actually eating beards is like a euphoric drug to him.
• Not-So-Harmless Villain: As gross as he is, one taste of Vic's beard hair is enough for Ernest to completely outmaneuver and emotionally wreck him in a fight.
• Small Name, Big Ego: Says the name "Beard Hunter" with a lot more gravitas than he really should and has the audacity to proclaim that he defeated Cyborg, despite not even trying to land an attack on him.
• Spared by the Adaptation: He is still alive by his final episode, when his comics counterpart was fatally electrocuted by the Chief.

The Candlemaker

Candlemaker

Make a wish...

Species: Imaginary Friend

Played by: Lex Lang

One of Dorothy's imaginary friends who seems keen on her making wishes, and she appears to be afraid of him.

---

• Anthropomorphic Personification: It's heavily implied that he represents the tensions and traumas passed between each generation and that "defeating" him is necessary for Dorothy to grow up. In the comics, he was a spirit derived from the fear of nuclear war who latched onto Dorothy's powers.
• The Bad Guy Wins: He finishes Season 2 by releasing himself and defeats Doom Patrol by imprisoning them into wax.
• Big Bad: The Candlemaker is the main antagonist of season 2. He's the most malevolent of Dorothy's imaginary friends; Niles' search for immortality was motivated by the desire to keep her from falling prey to his wishes. His threat to the world at large greatly overshadows the other major antagonists (Roni and Daddy).
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: Unlike the hammy, insane Psychotic Man Child that is Mr. Nobody, The Candlemaker is quiet and a No-Nonsense Nemesis who kills without a warning. The former is an Empowered Badass Normal with reality warping powers, while the latter is an Eldritch Abomination with Super-Strength, telekinesis and also reality warping powers. Eric managed to defeat the first original Doom Patrol, whereas The Candlemaker defeated the present day team and both did it by inflicting Mind Screw on them. Still, between the two, The Candlemaker is feared more as he can bring the end of the world.
• The Corrupter: He convinces Dorothy to destroy Danny for lying to her, but she couldn't bring herself to kill them.
• The Dreaded: Dorothy is terrified of him, and whenever he starts to whisper to her, she panics.
• Eldritch Abomination: Whatever he is or his origins are, he has the appearance of a gigantic flamed creature with a very organic appearance.
• Establishing Character Moment: The opening scene for entire Season 2 involves the Candlemaker massacring the spectators and the showman of a circus where Dorothy was held captive.
• Evil Sounds Deep: He talks in a deep raspy voice.
• Heel–Face Turn: Dorothy ultimately forces him into one and directing him to undo the damage he's done.
• Hulk Speak: Starts out talking in short, broken sentences, using direct commands and forgoing names (referring to Dorothy as "girl"), as he gains more influence over Dorothy, he becomes more eloquent and argumentative, as well as using her name. Dorothy calls him out on this, and he explains that as she grows up, so does he.
• Imaginary Friend: She claims he is this, but if the carnival is anything to go by, he can be not so imaginary.
• The Juggernaut: Flaming Katy and Hammerhead are easily taken down by the Candlemaker. He is also immune to Lucy Fugue's electrokinesis powers.
• Knight of Cerebus: The first villain that turns upside down the general up-beat tone of the show, with his terrifying existence from his first appearance. Just about everyone is afraid of him, and he gives them good reasons to.
• Knight Templar: He was created to protect Dorothy above all else. He truly believes its "fate" for Dorothy to kill him or be killed by him, with the ultimate goal of proving that she's truly grown out of childhood. As such, he's willing to hurt or kill anyone if Dorothy wishes it, in the interest of protecting his purpose over her.
• Make a Wish: What he asks of Dorothy every time she starts to feel distressed.
• No-Sell: He easily walks off Lucy Fugue's electricity attacks, bats away and kills Katy without breaking his stride towards Baby Doll.
• Nothing Is Scarier: When he makes his first appearance, the audience doesn't get to see him, but we do hear him slaughtering the spectators at the circus and their terrified screams.
• Roaring Rampage of Revenge: This is what he does whenever Dorothy "makes a wish" from killing the entire circus to invading the Underground and killing Baby Doll as well as Katy.
• Skeleton Motif: Candlemaker's appearance looks like a skeletal abomination with wax melted on his bones, with exposed ribs and pronounced vertebraes.
• Spared by the Adaptation: In the comics, he is eventually killed off. In the show, Dorothy is able to befriend him.
• The Unfought: Which is how Dorothy gains power over him. His entire purpose is to instigate Dorothy into fighting him so that she can prove herself as an adult. Her refusal to do so forces him to give up on his intended purpose.
• Villain Has a Point: He manipulates Dorothy's repressed frustrations to corrupt her and gain power, but given her father's many controlling tendencies, including locking her away for a hundred years, she's got justified repressions to pick at.
• Villain Teleportation: He can transport into the Underground at will to pursue and kill Baby Doll for murdering Dorothy's friend, Manny.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: His ultimate goal is to force Dorothy to fight and kill him, making him no longer necessary for her protection. It's heavily implied that this is a role different entities like the Candlemaker have served throughout Dorothy's ancestors.

Dr. Jonathan Tyme / Dr. Tyme

Dr. Jonathan Tyme / Doctor Tyme

Species: Human

Played by: Brandon Perea (Body), Dan Martin (Voice)

A former scientist who gained the ability to manipulate time through contact with an alien element.

---

• Adaptation Name Change: In the comics his name was Percival Sutter, but here it's Jonathan Tyme.
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: In the comics Dr. Tyme liked to claim he was the arch-nemesis of the Doom Patrol, but here it's clear he prefers to be left alone, partying in his time capsule for as long as he wants without caring about the Patrol.
• Adaptational Skimpiness: To an extent. His costume leaves his arms bare, when in the comics his costume included sleeves.
• Designated Villain: Discussed in-universe, as Rita, Cliff, and Jane confront Niles after he sends them after Dr Tyme, stating that he's not up to any sort of nefarious activities. Niles admits that he might have skimped a bit on his research.
• Mundane Utility: What does he use his awesome time traveling powers for? Create a perpetual roller-blade party to the tune of "Bad Girls" with guests from different timeframes.
• My Nayme Is: Yes, the Doom Patrol can't help but notice that his name is Dr. Tyme with a 'Y'. "Because Y not?"
• Not a Mask: What the Doom Patrol thought was just a silly-looking clock-shaped helmet turns out to be his actual head. Which unfortunately leads to them giving him an unintended cranium fracture when they try to steal the time ray he can fire from it.
• Punny Name: Dr. Tyme can control time.
• Unobtanium: The alien mineral Continiuinum that gave him his powers.
• Villainy-Free Villain: He doesn't seem to be using his time traveling powers to cause any harm, unlike his comic book counterpart who at least used his time ray to commit petty theft.

Night Nurse

Night Nurse

Played by: Ruth Connell

A demonic being that works for Death.

---

• Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed in that while she has a sadistic way of going about it it's implied she's just trying to do her job of keeping souls in check, but in the comics she's a mystic healer who helps out the Justice League Dark from time to time.
• Adaptation Name Change: Her counterpart in the comics is known as Nightmare Nurse.
• Evil Is Petty: When the Patrol manages to escape her, she proceeds to vomit on them. Not acidic vomit, not plague-inducing vomit or even virus-transmitting vomit. Just plain vomit. At first at least. It's revealed in the following episode that the vomit is turning the members of the Patrol into zombies.

Red Jack

Red Jack

Species: Inter-dimensional being

Played by: Roger Floyd

An inter-dimensional being who derives his power from the pain of others.

---

• Adaptational Ugliness: His comic incarnation's face was a blank white mask that didn't appear to have a head beneath it, while this version has him wearing a partial mask over a sickly, ashen face with fangs.
• Been There, Shaped History: He was Jack the Ripper, as well as The Monster of Florence.
• Butterfly of Death and Rebirth: His appearances are heralded by swarms of butterflies, and he keeps a massive collection of still-living butterflies pinned to display boards behind glass in his home dimension.
• Did Not See That Coming: Similarly to the comics, he didn't expect that Niles would stab him with his own knife.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Downplayed in that while he dies the same way as in the source material (turning into butterflies after getting stabbed with his own knife), the one responsible is the Chief instead of Rhea Jones.
• Emotion Eater: Specifically feeds on the pain and suffering from others.
• Eye Scream: Niles is reintroduced to him as he's casually eye gouging someone's eyes out and later, he stabs one of the musicians performing for him in the eye with a dinner fork.
• Mind Rape: Inflicts it on Niles, Rita and Larry in order to break them and turn them into butterflies for his collection.
• Not So Similar: He believed Niles enjoyed the pain and suffering of others just like he did, which is why he wanted to make Niles his apprentice, so he was sorely disappointed that the Chief revealed he doesn't.
• Not Wearing Tights: His outfit is mostly accurate to his appearance in the comics, but he only wears a partial mask.
• Psycho Knife Nut: As a serial killer that loves to inflict pain, Red Jack loves using a bladed weapon for this effect.
• Sadist: How do you call a being that feeds on pain and suffering?
