Doom PatrolHas a Weird Thing for Cop Shows, Too

It ’s rare that you see any ofDoom Patrol ’s mixed pocketbook of metahuman heroesfighting regular , street - point criminals , becausetheir respective power setstend to be more useful dealings with metaphysical , extradimensional - type threats likemassive roach and mice . Mostly , the Doom Patrol ’s leave the canonical crooks tothe Titansand , one imagines , the police , but when you cerebrate about it , you never really see the cop in this world , either .

Obviously , the cosmos that Doom Patrol ’s coiffure in has some sort of Department of Justice system independent of the Justice League itself that Cyborg dreams of one day joining , but it is n’t all that readable what the cops ’ relationships with superheroes are like incisively . “ Finger Patrol , ” delves into this a bit via Robotman of all people who , like Cyborg , is naturally disposed to go out and do what he can to protect the innocent .

But because Robotman ’s close to the civilian side of thing compared to Cyborg , his flights of partiality about gallantry in “ Finger Patrol ” end up illustrate something interesting about how people in this worldly concern reckon about fuzz .

After Robotman and Cyborg unsuccessfully attempt to convince Cyborg ’s father Silas Stone to kick upstairs Robotman ’s frame in ordering to restore some of his sensory perception , the two metal man ab initio give up themselves to bring back to the Doom Patrol manor house before Cyborg decide to make a “ quick ” arrest by his unspoilt friend Roni ’s flat where make indemnity for standing her up on their last planned date . In this case “ making amends ” means getting hot and gruelling with Roni while Cliff , who has no estimate what ’s operate on , sits in the car waiting for hours like the creation ’s most unneeded third wheel .

As Cliff err off to sleep , though , his thought about being able to play hoagie like Cyborg and his wonder about Niles Caulder ’s data-based estimate about upgrading his Robotman soundbox lead to him having a fresh sorting of fever ambition in which he and Vic are smooth - babble , badass detectives star in their own 70s crime drama Steele & Stone .

Cheesy as Cliff ’s aspiration is , it mouth to the realism that he , like everyone else in his world , presumptively grew up with crime procedurals featuring tarradiddle valorizing cops for work clandestine in ridiculous costume in lodge to solve even more ridiculous crimes . Silly Steele & Stone is , it ’s also musing of where Cliff ’s been at , mentally , as he ’s considered just what all it is that he wants to do with his living .

As Cliff ignite up from his ambition , “ Finger Patrol ” lives up to its name when he witnesses two random guys essay to slip a auto , and he by chance cut one of the men ’s ’ finger off ( which he pockets ! ) while arrest them . Much as Cliff might not want to admit it , part of him does legitimately need to play desperate in force hombre like Cyborg , and while Doom Patrol play Steele & Stone as a jocularity , it ’s probable that this sentiment of Cliff ’s is going to resurface before the season is over .
