Synopsis:
Larry Trainor becomes jealous of his own Negative Man self and refuses to use his powers in battle. Thus the Doom Patrol is defeated and Elasti-Girl captured by the Bug Man, a criminal who commands an army of robotic insects. The Chief, using his Action Chair, races to the rescue, and battles the Bug Man to a standstill until Robotman and Negative Man arrive to help him and defeat the villain. Before the case is closed, Larry is reconciled to his role as host-body to Negative Man.
