'Doom Patrol': How the original team members from the DC graphic novel fare against their live-action counterparts

Doom Patrol is the answer to Marvel's X-Men and also offers an alternative to the more popular teams of goody-two-shoes heroes like the Justice League and Teen Titans

'Doom Patrol' has been a long-running graphic novel ever since their introduction in DC's 1963 issue of 'My Greatest Adventure #80', a popular comic at the time, which tended to introduce even more popular characters which got their own spin-offs. But 'Doom Patrol' has been getting an ever-changing roster over the years (similar to Justice League and Teen Titans), with Robotman (Cliff Steele) being the only character to play a recurring role in the Doom Patrol team till date.

Doom Patrol is the answer to Marvel's X-Men and also offers an alternative to the more popular teams of goody-two-shoes heroes like the Justice League and Teen Titans. The members of Doom Patrol never asked for the powers that engulfed them, and their stories show them coming to terms with these new found powers, and how they make the best use of them.
