DC's 'Doom Patrol': Cyborg comes into his own as he steps up and becomes team leader

'Doom Patrol' are far from the most functional team, and it takes a half-man, half-metal, to finally get their heads on straight.

DC's 'Doom Patrol' is simply far from ordinary, and by that, I mean that it's extraordinary! We follow this team of unfit heroes are they scramble their way through strange missions, without having a clue about what they're doing, and it's simply delightful.

'Doom Patrol' covers the stories behind an unprepared team of heroes, namely, Robotman, Elasti-Woman, Negative Man, Crazy Jane, and Cyborg, as they search for their recently kidnapped mentor, Dr. Niles Caulder aka the Chief. The main reason this team of questionable superheroes is so incompetent is because of their horrid backstories, where each member met with a horrible accident, only to be made (somewhat) whole again by The Chief.

Cyborg (Joivan Wade) was never a traditional member of 'Doom Patrol', and his entry into the new franchise sparked a bit of outrage among fans, who are used to seeing Cyborg higher up on the hierarchy pyramid in bigger and more well-known superhero teams like 'The Justice League' or 'Titans'.
