Description

Cliff Steele is Robotman, a former race car driver whose brain was transplanted into a robot body following a catastrophic accident, first appearing in My Greatest Adventure #80 in 1963.

His struggle with identity, isolation, and what it means to be human has remained central to the character across decades of Doom Patrol stories.
