Sure. The Doom Patrol started as a graphic novel. In the world of comics, graphic novels can be a place for experimentation and the Doom Patrol was such an experiment. It introduced a group of characters that were not your typical heroes. They were outcasts and had very different kinds of powers and problems. The graphic novel origin meant that the story could be told in a more cohesive and detailed way right from the start, which has had a lasting impact on how the Doom Patrol is known and loved today.
Robotman is a main character. He was once a human but now exists as a sentient robot. His struggle to hold on to his humanity is a central part of his character.
Some of the best Doom Patrol graphic novels include 'Doom Patrol: The Painting That Ate Paris'. It's a classic that really showcases the unique and strange nature of the Doom Patrol. The art and storytelling combine to create a mind - bending experience.
