* [[Superpower Lottery]]: The Quiz has "every superpower you haven't thought of." She's basically able to do whatever she wants as long as you aren't thinking about it.

* [[Sure Why Not]]: Scott Fischer wasn't given a superhero name during his time in the book, but prominent letter writer Charles J. Sperling decided that his name had to be "Blaze". Near the end of that era, the book's editor said that "Scott has adopted the name of Blaze, I think, but he hasn't officially used it."

* [[Take That]]: Towards the end of his run, Morrison put out a one-shot Doom Patrol special entitled "Doom Force." It highlighted every trope of the [[Rob Liefeld|Liefeldian]] [[Dark Age]] had to offer, from the artistic failings to the horrible characters. It ended with one member of <s>[[Youngblood]]</s> Doom Force dead, and the remaining members declaring him a creep, walking away in an [[Everybody Laughs Ending]].

* [[That Man Is Dead]]: Rebis, who is a combination of Larry Trainor and a nurse. Cliff still refers to him/her as "Larry," even though Rebis denies being Larry Trainor anymore.

** 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.
