Before the Doom Patrol

ROBOTMAN! ELASTI-GIRL! NEGATIVE MAN! The heroes of the Silver Age DOOM PATROL.....   But did you know Cliff Steele wasn't the first Robotman?... or even the SECOND!?!   Did you know Rita wasn't the first female DC team member to grow to a giant size and fight evil?   Did you know there were characters with similar abilities and traits to Negative Man years before his debut?   Did you know there was a previous group known as the DOOM PATROL!?!?!?!   We've been doing some deep comic book archaeology to bring you this special episode where we cover some exciting stories that may (or may not) have influenced the creation of the Silver Age's Strangest Super Team.   Do NOT Miss it!   #doompatrol #robotman #elastigirl #negativeman #dccomics #thechief #nilescaulder #cliffsteele #dcmultiverse #gicombat #houseofmystery #mygreatestadventure #challengersoftheunknown #challs
