Cover Art of Doom Patrol (1987) #67.
*When auto racer Cliff Steele was critically injured in an accident, an unidentified surgeon transplanted his brain into a super-strong robot body. After his recovery, Steele was summoned to a mysterious meeting where he encountered others similarly transformed: pilot Larry Trainor, who had been invaded by a radioactive symbiont, and actress Rita Farr, who could alter her size. Professor Niles Caulder - Steele's surgeon - challenged the assembled team to join him in an elite force that would use its afflictions to aid humanity. The Doom Patrol was born. *Source: Back of card
