John Arcudi's Doom Patrol

In December 2001, writer John Arcudi and artist Tan Eng Huat launched a new Doom Patrol series. The launch of this series also saw the return of the publication of the title from the Vertigo imprint back to DC Comics. The series lasted for 22 issues.

Arcudi's storylines revealed what happened to the previous team. Dorothy Spinner had had a mental breakdown and accidentally killed most of the members still with the team at the end of the Pollack run. She fell into a coma, but subconsciously created a new Robotman, who became a part of a new Doom Patrol. This Doom Patrol was a company-owned team by Jost Enterprises, owned and operated by Thayer Jost, for a while before working independently. Marvel used a similar theme several months later with X-Statix as a commercially run team.

The Robotman that Dorothy created faded away when it realized what it actually was, but the other teammates searched for Cliff Steele, who became a member of the Doom Patrol yet again. They found his brain in a desolated area of the Smokey Mountains, buried under the rubble of the campsite where Dorothy's breakdown occurred. A prosthetics expert who had defected from Russia rebuilt Cliff's body.

Jost, meanwhile, learned that he could not own the rights to the Doom Patrol, since the man who signed the rights over to him was not actually Cliff Steele. Instead, he tried to obtain guardianship of the brain-dead Dorothy. At the end of the series, Cliff pulled her life support.

Rounding out the four new members and Cliff were Elongated Man, Metamorpho, Doctor Light and Beast Boy. The last named had initially been closely associated with the original Doom Patrol, but had never formally joined the team.
