In Doom Patrol<\/em> #4, Crazy Jane\u2019s dominant persona, The Chief, takes over the leadership job once held by Niles Caulder and pushes the team toward a more hands-on rescue-and-support approach.<\/p>\n\n

Evelyn X, once the avatar of the Cult of the Eternal Void, joins the team in Doom Patrol<\/em> #4 as both a new prot\u00e9g\u00e9 and a new member. Her powers bend reality and draw on the vacuum of space, which gives her the kind of potential that could scale to something cosmic, but what really gives the character weight is the trauma of having been used as a weapon by a cult.<\/p>\n\n

For a team that started back in 1963 as \u201cthe world\u2019s strangest heroes<\/a>,\u201d and has always been built around damaged outsiders whose powers are tangled up with their pain, Evelyn X feels like a natural fit for where the Patrol is heading, not just another villain-of-the-month problem. Even so, her history with the cult leaves that door open. She could still be a Trojan horse, and the next catastrophe the Doom Patrol has to somehow make it through.<\/p>\n\n

If you follow Doom Patrol<\/em>, this is a lineup change you\u2019ll probably want to pick up. You can find Doom Patrol<\/em> #4 wherever DC Comics are sold.<\/p>\n
