Background
Doom Patrol member Robot Man (also known as Cliff Steele by his teammates) is, in essence, a brain that has been transplanted into a large and powerful robotic body due to a past accident. In this respect, he shares much in common with Cyborg of the Teen Titans. In "Homecoming - Part 1", Robot Man is found offline and badly beaten in a dense Amazon jungle. He had been put offline for a total of five months, and therefore has no recollection of what last became of his Doom Patrol teammates until they are found and rescued with the help of the Titans.
Personality
Robot Man is very loyal to his fellow Doom Patrolers, and always takes up the fight to defend them given half the chance. In battle, Robot Man is a very straightforward, melee type of fighter who prefers to beat first and ask questions later. When he first meets and fights alongside Beast Boy and the Titans, he is suspicious of how capable the team really is.
Appears in: Homecoming - Part 1, Homecoming - Part 2
Character Facts
- In the comics, Robot Man was originally a young daredevil who lost his body after an auto accident caused by the Doom Patrol's founder, Niles Caulder. After he received his robot body, he felt like an outcast, until he joined the Doom Patrol. He is the longest lasting member of the team. Also, there was a character with the same name that used to appear in the newspaper comics.
