Comments:
This story is entirely a flashback to Robotman's origin, which is retold in detail.

The story is subtitled "An Untold Story of Robotman" and features Robotman and the Chief (as Dr. Niles Caulder) before the Doom Patrol was formed.

This story continues in the second story of Doom Patrol #101.

Synopsis:
In this retelling of Robotman's origin, Cliff Steele is the victim of a racing-car crash which destroys his entire body except his brain. Dr. Niles Caulder saves his life by transplanting his brain into a robot body, but the revived Robotman, driven temporarily insane by his fate, goes berserk and wreaks havoc throughout the city, seeking revenge on the unknown surgeon who "saved" him.
