Scarecrow - Earth -52 - Batman: The Red Death
The Couple - Earth -52 - Batman: The Red Death
In an alleyway, the terrified couple were confronted by Scarecrow, who threatened to cut them down with his scythe. However, before Crane could carry out his threat, he was interrupted by the arrival of The Red Death.
The Speedster struck with such force that he split Scarecrow in two with a single punch.
The Doom Patrol - Young Justice: Phantoms
The Doom Patrol - Young Justice: Outsiders
The following year, Rita Farr joined the team as Elasti-Girl. She and Mento (Steve Dayton) started a romantic relationship and eventually married. After her godson, Garfield Logan was orphaned by the Light, Farr became his legal guardian and adopted him. As his powers to morph into animals developed, the team helped him hone and control his skills. He eventually took up the mantle of Beast Boy and occasionally supported the team on relatively safe missions.
In 2015, after discovering an extremely dangerous threat, The Chief ordered the Doom Patrol to respond. Knowing the mission would likely be their last, Farr ordered Logan to stay behind while the others engaged the threat. Mento abandoned the fight and went into hiding, while the others perished.
Logan's already strained relationship with Dayton deteriorated further when Dayton reappeared months later, using his marriage to Farr to adopt Logan and turning him into a child star for fame and fortune. Logan resented his new life and his stepfather, eventually founding the Outsiders as a way to emancipate himself from Mento's control and create a new family, hoping to rebuild what he had lost with the Doom Patrol.

Robotman - Young Justice: Phantoms
During the Doom Patrol's final mission in 2015, Robotman, aka Cliff Steele, was killed alongside his fellow teammates when he was decapitated, his severed head sinking to the bottom of a deep river, where it remained for some time before it was eventually recovered.
Scientists were able to revive his brain and rebuild his body, allowing Steele to have some semblance of the life he once had with the Doom Patrol. However, this mission was heavily traumatic, leaving him with intense feelings of survivor’s guilt.
Cliff Steele - Young Justice: Phantoms
Although he was already operating as the hero Robotman in 2011, as a founding member of The Doom Patrol, it wasn't until Garfield Logan and Rita Farr joined the team in 2012 as Beast Boy and Elasti-girl that he began to really throw himself into the work. Inspired by the young Logan's hope, optimism & love for his new teammates and adopted family, he began to embrace his mechanical body as a second chance at life, no longer seeing it as a metal prison as he once did.
Killed in 2015 during a mission that could only be described as suicidal, Cliff was revived after his head was recovered from a riverbed. Grief-stricken over his teammates' deaths, he wanted nothing more than to end his life, feeling guilt at his survival. However, once again Garfield was there to help him through his pain and grief, convincing him to honour their memories and keep on living, treating each new day as a gift.
He would start regular therapy sessions with Dinah Lance, the costumed hero Black Canary and the Justice League's resident counsellor.
In a last-ditch effort to help Logan break out of his destructive battle with depression and drug addiction, Cliff attended an intervention for his young friend on June 2nd, 2020, reminding him of all the good he had done for him in the past. However, Cliff's efforts were rudely dismissed, leaving him saddened by Logan's refusal to seek help and support.
They have since reconnected and made amends, after Beast Boy finally started regular counselling with Dinah.

The half-brother of Etrigan, the warlock Merlin cursed his half-sibling into servitude, forcibly binding him to the body of the occultist, Jason Blood.
This ritual caused great resentment between the two siblings, with the Demon furious that his free will was almost completely stripped from him.
