The Doom Patrol #88

In a flashback to the past, the Chief recounts his first meeting with General Immortus, a man obsessed with unlocking the secret of life—long before the Baron's rise. As the Doom Patrol struggles to stop the villain's latest rampage, the Chief reveals a connection that ties the present threat to a forgotten chapter in his own history.

In the second part of his extraordinary tale, the Chief recounts his death at the hands of General Immortus and his miraculous revival by his loyal Robot Assistant-2, a past that still haunts him as the General relentlessly pursues the secret of his resurrection. Now, years later, the Doom Patrol faces a new threat when the Baron reappears—this time capturing them in a trap that may finally force the Chief to confront the full weight of his past.

In "Showdown for the Chief!", the Doom Patrol faces their greatest threat yet as the mysterious Baron reveals his true identity as General Immortus, demanding the secret that could unravel them all. With the stakes higher than ever, the team must escape his grasp before he claims what he seeks—leaving only the aftermath of a battle that changes everything.
