Black Lantern Doom Patrol

This is from a Doom Patrol #4 preview posted over at the Source.

The three we can clearly see are Celcius, Tempest, and Negative Woman. I hope Coagula is also one of their members.

	Well, since this might be the week to bring back cute blond heroes cruelly snuffed out for dramatic effect, it'd be nice to see Scott Fischer back again.. (Reply to this)

	Kinda cool, actually. Did they ever resolve if Celcius was or was not the Chief's wife etc etc? I seem to remember he claimed she was delusional. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	He claimed a lot of things. According to the story where he died, he married her, then left her. He didn't take it seriously. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	So, Josh remained dead from Grant's run, then? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yup, e was killed by the Chief, then returned from the dead by the Candlemaker, then killed again buy the Candlemaker. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Man, a woman in bandages has no right to be that hot. Damn you Negative Woman!!

Also, am I the only one who feels Justiniano should've been the penciller from the very beginning? I already like this more than Matthew Clarke's pencils - And it's very disappointing that, despite Doom Patrol being his 'dream book', he's only pushed out about three consecutive issues of said book.

	Will BL Negative Woman's negative form be a happy, cheery normal person who walks around chatting pleasantly at people? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I'll bet that's Robot Man's body in the shadows. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	manofbats 2009-10-30 07:14 pm UTC (link)
	Robotman is still alive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	grimmbear 2009-10-30 07:16 pm UTC (link)
	He's a brain in a robot body. That happened to his corpse? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think it's more likely to be someone else amongst the Doom Patrol's sizable deceased list. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The DP don't actually have that long a list of dead for a 46 year old superhero team. The three shown here, the 5 I mention in my post, Nudge and Grunt...plus Elongated Man, who briefly joined the 'official' Jost Patrol - 11. Which, while almost 1/3 of the total team roster, is low compared to any team around for a comparable length of time. (League: 36 confirmably dead full members; Titans: 22; JSA: 17 (surprisingly low, actually)... Obviously, there's a significant amount of overlap in those 3 lists...and the DP's list.)

	The Brain once inhabited a Robotman body. And he and Monsieur Mallah are currently dead. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Certainly bulky enough to be armored, though. Wouldn't it be a kick if it was somehow the return of the mental projection of Robotman from DP v3? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Wait, wtf? Isn't Valentina alive? Last time I checked, she was the White Queen of Checkmate. I think I'm missing something here... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	manofbats 2009-10-30 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	I think she was killed in Final Crisis. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cricharddavies 2009-10-30 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	Her Wikipedia entry doesn't mention it; it's stated that she's shown under Darkseid's control in FC: Resist, but that's it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wasn't she one of the bodies shown littering the ground with the Atomic Knights... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Since the black lantern want peoples hearts someone like robot man who only has a human brain but no heart does that mean his safe? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	manofbats 2009-10-30 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	Well they can't take his heart because he doesn't have one, but that doesn't mean he's safe. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	pyrotwilight 2009-10-30 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Not really, all they want is the emotion no matter how they get it. Look at Jason Firestorm whose become a battery. Chances are they'll just go for Cliff's BRAINNSSSSSS. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	kamino_neko 2009-10-30 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	Hrm...let's see who could be on the team aside from those three... I agree, Coagula would be good...Dorothy is almost inevitable...Fever (snif)...Blaze and Karma... (Reply to this)

	Hmmm, I might have to pick this up... (Reply to this)

	I know it's not what heroes do, but I'd really like the Doom Patrol to just look to each other and walk away leaving Niles Caulder behind. Even if it isn't the real Celcius, he still really, really deserves this. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	one ring for each personality? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	manofbats 2009-10-31 03:55 am UTC (link)
	Or, even more interesting. One ring becomes confused by the memories of multiple people, so it summons other rings and the personalities are divided amongst them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But she didn't die and she's on Danny the World, right...? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	iondan 2009-10-30 11:51 pm UTC (link)
	Not gonna lie, I'm just getting this for the ring, but I will read it and if I like it maybe I'll add Doom Patrol to my pull list when my financial outlook brightens up. (Reply to this)

	salamangkiero 2009-10-31 04:22 am UTC (link)
	good question. Are Crazy Jane and Rebis dead? for my money, those two are the most dangerous of the DP. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-10-31 02:20 pm UTC (link)
	IIRC Crazy Jane was briefly glimpsed inside a painting/portal in the OYL Titans issue where they visit the Doom Patrol castle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jlroberson 2009-10-31 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	I wonder if that world inside the Painting that Ate Paris--the one that's apparently very nice, in some places, inside--contained the place Jane ended up later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icon_uk 2009-10-31 08:13 pm UTC (link)
	Possibly, but I'd prefer to think she was still exploring Danny the World, and IIRC the painting ended up destroyed, apart from a few scraps. (Reply to this) (Parent)
