The Doom Patrol #101

When Beast Boy’s guardian, Nicholas Galtry, fears exposure for embezzling from Gar’s trust fund, he hires a hitman to silence him—leading the young hero to desperately seek help from the Doom Patrol. As the team tries to clear Gar’s name, they’re drawn to a remote island by mysterious signals, where they confront Kranus, the self-proclaimed Emperor of a vast robotic empire.

In "Part 2: What Makes Kranus Run?", the Doom Patrol and Beast Boy face off against Kranus—only to uncover a shocking truth: he’s the Brain in disguise. As tensions rise and trust fractures, the team races to stop a deadly plot against Gar, only to find themselves outmaneuvered by a cunning enemy who may have turned their own suspicions against them.

In "The Lonely Giant," Robotman [Cliff Steele] awakens in a world he no longer recognizes, haunted by fragmented memories and a burning need for vengeance—his mind trapped in a mechanical body, he vows to find the man responsible. As he confronts the Chief [Niles Caulder], the truth of his origin begins to unravel, revealing a bond forged in secrecy and sacrifice, with the help of Poor Mary, Blind Mike, Tibor, and Manuel.
