Niles Caulder, known as "Chief", gathers people in his Doom Manor estate who have had special powers since accidents on the verge of death and no longer age. The former film diva Rita Farr, whose face and body have been disfigured by emotional turmoil since an accident in the jungle, which can go so far as to mutate into a human blob , and the staunch test pilot Larry Trainor, live here isolated from society Skin burned in a spectacular crash and which has been wrapped in bandages from head to toe ever since. As a celebrated hero in the early 1960s, he was barely able to admit his homosexuality to himself, let alone his family, society, or friend - one reason he kept trying to escape the earth and foster a daring image. The community also includes Jane with her multitudinous personality (hence her nickname "Crazy Jane") and, most recently, Cliff Steele, a daring racing driver whose brain the Chief was the only one to save after a serious accident and install it in a heavy, self-made metal body .

When the super villain Mr. Nobody makes his old adversary Caulder disappear, Victor Stone, a cyborg , meets Caulder's protégés, and with him they embark on a mission to find the chief. Meanwhile, Mr. Nobody releases Caulder to help them stop a doom sect. They also meet the former Doom Patrol , Danny, the street , the beard hunter and free Flex Mentallo from the facilities of the office for normality . Then Mr. Nobody lets her into the White Room, where he is holding Caulder prisoner, and forces Caulder to reveal that he was responsible for their accidents in search of a means to prolong his life in order to protect his daughter as long as possible. Eventually they defeat Mr. Nobody on Danny Street and save Caulder's daughter.

Mr. Nobody (played by Alan Tudyk ) is the main villain of the first season. Morden was a member of the Brotherhood of Evil , but after his release went to Paraguay to participate in an experiment by a former Nazi that turned him into a living shadow and gave him superpowers. Almost omnipotent and omniscient, he can change reality, create illusions and other worlds, and uses these powers to psychologically torture people and drive them insane. With his strength he breaks through the fourth wall and thus becomes the narrator of the series with ironic, biting comments. At the end of the first season, he is captured on a white canvas.

Niles Caulder / The Chief

Niles Caulder (played by Timothy Dalton ) is a paraplegic scientist who takes in people who have been on the verge of death and isolated outsiders in his estate, Doom Manor. After Mr. Nobody makes Caulder disappear, the others go on a mission to find him. When they do this, it turns out that he deliberately caused their accidents in order to find a way to eternal life, to protect his daughter Dorothy Spinner and to be able to live longer than her. In order to extend his own life, he wears a monkey's paw as a talisman , which he has to surrender at the beginning of the second season.

Rita Farr / Elasti-Woman

Rita Farr (played by April Bowlby ), born Gertrude Cramp, was a 1950s Hollywood actress. While filming, she came into contact with a toxic gas that turned her cell structure into a gelatinous state, which can deform her body.

Larry Trainor / Negative Man

Larry Trainor is played in flashbacks by Matt Bomer , who also lends him the voice. In the scenes in which he is masked from head to toe, he is played by Matthew Zuk .

During a test flight, he got caught in an energy cloud and crashed. Seriously burned, he has since been wearing special bandages against radioactive radiation and sharing his body with a glowing blue energy being. If this - often against his will - comes out of the body, Larry loses consciousness. After his accident, Larry ended up in the "Ant Farm", a facility of the office for normalcy , from which Niles freed him and brought him to Doom Manor.

Diane Guerrero plays Jane and all the other personalities when they come to the surface; in the underground some are embodied by other actresses. The most important, recurring personalities include:

Danny can teleport himself to other places and is therefore very difficult to find consciously. Therefore, Danny offers a safe haven for outsiders and marginalized minorities and fringe groups, especially the LGBT community. The residents are called Dannyzens (a play on words with English citizens for citizens); below that is the drag queen Maura Lee Karupt that the drag club Peeping Tom's Perpetual Cabaret , a drag show with Karaoke lists. Danny is hunted by the Normality Bureau , which Maura Lee originally belonged to. For Niles Caulder, Danny took on his daughter Dorothy Spinner and hid it in the doll's clinic for decades until Mr. Nobody found out and kidnapped Danny to threaten Dorothy. At the end of the first season, Danny is destroyed, but a brick labeled "Danny Brick Co." remains. After the brick breaks, Danny decides that he doesn't want to be street anymore, so as not to be a prison for Dorothy, and becomes a tire.

Flex Mentallo

Flex (played by Devan Long ) is a superhero with the ability to change reality by tensing his muscles. In Rita's childhood he was known as the "hero of the beach" and appeared as an advertising character in comic books. He was captured by the Normality Bureau in 1964 and is being freed from the new Doom Patrol in the present. His wife Dolores has been processed by the office in such a way that at the moment of their reunion she will fall apart and die. Then he becomes a Dannyzen and brings the others to safety from Mr. Nobody.

Ernest Franklin / Beard Hunter

Franklin (played by Tommy Snider ) has the peculiarity that when he eats a man's whiskers, a connection is established to his brain, which allows him to manipulate his actions or find the whereabouts of the person. He is being recruited by the Normality Bureau to find Caulder. At the end of the first season he is trapped on the white canvas with Mr. Nobody.
