Created by Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani and debuting in My Greatest Adventure #80 (June 1963), The Doom Patrol consists of Niles Caulder (The Chief), brilliant surgeon and scientist; Rita Farr (Elasti-girl), former actress with the power to shrink, to grow or to enlarge any part of her body; Cliff Steele (Robotman), former racecar driver whose brain is housed in a super-strong metal body; Larry Trainor (Negative Man), former test pilot whose body hosts a "negative being" of pure energy; and Garfield Logan (Beast Boy), who has the power to transform into any animal.
