Doom Patrol | Profile: Negative Man

Larry Trainor carries an other-worldly being inside him. Meet Negative Man on season 1 of Doom Patrol, streaming now on DC Universe.

Doom Patrol is the 2019 TV series based on the DC Comics franchise of the same name.

The show debuted on the DC Universe streaming service in February of 2019, reimagining one of DC's most beloved groups of Super Heroes: Robotman aka Cliff Steele, Negative Man aka Larry Trainor, Elasti-Woman aka Rita Farr and Crazy Jane, led by modern-day mad scientist Niles Caulder aka The Chief. Each member of the Doom Patrol suffered a horrible accident that gave them superhuman abilities but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found their purpose through The Chief, coming together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence. Following the mysterious disappearance of The Chief these reluctant heroes will find themselves in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of superpowered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them.

The original cast included Brendan Fraser as Cliff Steele (aka Robotman), Matt Bomer as Larry Trainor (aka Negative Man), April Bowlby as Rita Farr (aka Elasti-Woman), Diane Guerrero as Jane (aka Crazy Jane), Timothy Dalton as (Niles Caulder aka The Chief) and Joivan Wade as Victor Stone (aka Cyborg). Alan Tudyk served as the season one villain, Mr. Nobody.
