Crazy Jane - After being exposed to a gene-bomb deployed by the Dominators, each of Kay Challis' 64 split personalities developed a different set of super-powers.
That exposure leaves his body highly radioactive (hence why he usually dresses like the Invisible Man), but it also allows him to temporarily release a "Negative Spirit" from his body that can fly at high speeds and cause objects to explode. Negative Man - Larry Trainor was an Air Force pilot exposed to a radioactive field. Unfortunately, she doesn't have a great deal of control over these powers at first. Elasti-Girl - After being exposed to volcanic gas, Rita Farr can shrink or expand her body at will. Robotman - The only character to serve in every incarnation of the Doom Patrol so far, Cliff Steele had his human brain transplanted into a robotic body after a catastrophic car accident. However, subsequent stories have established Caulder as more villain than hero, and he was even revealed to be responsible for the accidents that transformed the original team in the first place. Niles Caulder - A brilliant, wealthy inventor modeled after Mycroft Holmes, Caulder was responsible for bringing together the original Doom Patrol and teaching these "freaks" to use their powers for the betterment of mankind.
It also takes a little work to find this issue as it has NOT been reprinted. Not that was horribly different than tales of the times, but it would NOT be considered a high point of women's lib as Supergirl planned on retiring from being a super-hero, and Superman recruited Wonder Woman to help convince her back into battle.and the two end up dating Frenchmen (Henri for Supergirl, Andre for Wonder Woman) for a time, and fighting the shape-changing Multi-Face! Eventually the ladies beat the villain and go back to their normal lives (and this issue has an appearance of Wonder Girl between Showcase #59 and Teen Titans #1, establishing her as a separate person from Wonder Woman.).
Superman editor Mort Weisinger usually didn't allow Superman characters outside of titles he edited, and this tale called "The Revolt of the Super-Chicks".didn't help much. The women took charge for once in Brave and the Bold, with Supergirl and Wonder Woman teaming up in Brave & the Bold #63 (December-January, 1965/1966 by Bob Haney and John Rosenberger, and a cover by regular Supergirl artist, Jim Mooney).
