HISTORY
A motor-racing driver whose body was all but destroyed in a crash, Cliff Steele's brain was transferred into a robotic body by Niles Caulder and became one of the Doom Patrol. For many years he has acted as a hero, often reluctantly, but always bravely.
For a time, he preferred to be known as Cliff Steele, but has since gone back to using the name Robotman.
BLACK LANTERN: CLIFF STEELE |
During the event known as the Blackest Night, a black ring descended upon the remains of Cliff Steele's original body, downloaded all of his memories and created a duplicate of his body that rose from the grave as a member of the Black Lantern Corps.
