Sad thing: If there was a Doom Patrol movie, people would call it a copy of X-Men — but they were first by a few months.
@EricKleefeld Unique innovation of X-men was that they were not just a team but a caste (mutants) & hence potent symbol of discrimination.

@HeerJeet Right. Doom Patrol's innovation was different — a team who had become freaks/outcasts, would be shut-ins if they weren't heroes.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet There are some Doom Patrol stories I'm amazed were printed by DC of that era — like a troubled hero attempting suicide. -
@EricKleefeld The ending of the original series is kind of amazing too: everybody dies. - Show replies
