Synopsis:
The Doom Patrol matches wits with the Arsenal, a criminal whose mechanical body houses a multitude of super-weapons. The Chief, meanwhile, proves too busy to help his teammates, as he uses a secret device to reverse Madame Rouge's mental patterns, unaware that the Brain is using a similar device to strengthen her evil side at the same time.
