Comments:
This story shows that in the Post-Crisis Universe, the Doom Patrol battled Reactron with the help of Power Girl, not Supergirl as they did on Earth-1.

Synopsis:
Robotman returns to the Doom Patrol's former headquarters in Midway City. He finds that the security system no longer recognizes him. To prove his identity he tells the computer system the origins of each of the original Doom Patrol members. The computer then checks the information against what is on file to confirm his story.

The computer check is really a stall tactic to keep Robotman from leaving the building. He is being watched by Valentina Vostok, his former teammate Negative Woman. She is now involved with a secret government organization and has sent armored agents to apprehend Robotman.

When the agents arrive Robotman fights them. Vostok then rescinds her order, and the agents leave. Robotman then decides to have his things boxed up and sent to California.
