* [[Split Personality]]: Crazy Jane has ''64'' of them.

** And yeah, Larry, Eleanor and the Negative Spirit do go through a bit of the same when they turn into Rebis. One scene shows him reading ''[[When Rabbit Howls]]''.

* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Elasti-Girl is given this trait in a team-up story with [[The Flash]]. We're told that since she used to be a glamorous movie star, being turned into a "super-powered freak" was especially hard on her, and she smiles constantly in order to "look pretty" and keep others from being afraid of her. She has no idea that it actually has the complete opposite effect.

** This isn't brought up again in any other DP story; [[Word of God]] says that it took place during the team's early days (post-Byrne reboot) when Rita was still getting used to her new life.

** Roughly played with in the Giffen series, which reveals Larry * has* been dead since the accident that turned him into Negative Man. Since then, it's been the N-Man entity in a variety of clones. But the N-Man isn't sure he's not Larry sometimes. Or something. The whole thing is sorta fuzzy for now.

* [[Took a Level in Jerkass]]: The False Memory in Pollack's run. She started out as just one of the many personas belonging to the chameleon-like Identity Addict. When she came back in #83, she spends her time walking around giving people fake memories, eventually trying to insert herself in the Doom Patrol by manipulating their memories to her favor, such as making Coagula think she was raped as a teenager by her husband. Only Dorothy rejects the fake memories immediately and manages to snap her teammates back to their senses.

* [[Transvestite]]: Danny the Street has male geared stores (like gun shops) covered in pink lance and the like.

* [[Two Guys and a Girl]]: The original team, with Robotman and Negative Man as the two guys and Elasti-Girl as the girl
