50 free Doom Patrol trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Doom Patrol has always been the odd one out among superhero teams. Its members never asked for their powers, do not much like them, and spend as much time bickering in a crumbling mansion as they do saving the world. That mix of misery and absurd humour runs from the first 1960s comics to the live-action series. This quiz covers both. Expect questions on Robotman, Negative Man, Rita Farr, Crazy Jane and the Chief, on the cast who play them, and on the stranger corners of the story: cults, lost dimensions, and villains such as Mr. Nobody and the Quiz, a surrealist troublemaker whose powers are whichever ones nobody else has thought of. It is written for fans of the show and readers of the comics alike, with gentler questions up front and deeper cuts for anyone who knows their back issues.
