Comments:
The Doom Patrol is destroyed, as Elasti-Girl, Negative Man, and the Chief die in this story.

Robotman, the Brain, and Monsieur Mallah appear to be killed, but survive, as revealed in their respective next appearances in Showcase #94 and New Teen Titans #14.

A new Doom Patrol island base is established and destroyed in this story.

Synopsis:
Striking back at all her former allies, Madame Rouge returns and apparently destroys the Brotherhood of Evil. She then launches a series of devastating attacks against the Doom Patrol in their own headquarters. To safeguard innocent bystanders, the team retreats to an island base prepared by the Chief for emergencies, unaware that they are being tracked by Madame Rouge and her new ally, Captain Zahl, an ex-Nazi foe of the Chief. Immobilizing the three heroes, Zahl issues an ultimatum: either they allow him to blow up the island and destroy them, or he will cause a similar blast to destroy a tiny fishing village of fourteen inhabitants. The Doom Patrol members heroically vote to sacrifice themselves, and Zahl detonates the island over Madame Rouge's protests. The world mourns the loss of the Doom Patrol, and Steve Dayton vows to find and destroy the murderers of his wife.
