| HistoryText = 
==Becoming a Hero==
Cliff Steele became a cyborg with enhanced strength and durability, and joined the [[Doom Patrol (Doom Patrol Shorts)|Doom Patrol]], gaining much respect for team leader [[Niles Caulder (Doom Patrol Shorts)|Chief]], and becoming close with Elasti-Girl.<ref name="Challenge">{{TVE|Doom Patrol (Shorts) Episode: Challenge of the Timeless Commander}}</ref><ref name="Spy">{{TVE|Doom Patrol (Shorts) Episode: The Spy Within the Doom Patrol}}</ref> 

==Battling General Immortus==
On one mission, while charging into battle against [[General Immortus (Doom Patrol Shorts)|General Immortus]] with a shrunken Elasti-Girl in a compartment in his head, Robotman was incapacitated by Immortus until Elasti-Girl disabled his weapon. Robotman knocked Immortus unconscious just before he could kill Negative Man, saving both the day and his friend.<ref name="Challenge"/> 

==Rog and the Brotherhood==
Racing to stop the [[Brotherhood of Evil (Doom Patrol Shorts)|Brotherhood of Evil]] from stealing the [[Statue of Liberty]] with their giant robot Rog, the Doom Patrol was able to incapacitate Rog with a kick from a sized-up Elasti-Girl, knocking the Brotherhood's two members, [[Mallah (Doom Patrol Shorts)|Mallah]] and [[Eric Morden (Doom Patrol Shorts)|Mister Morden]], out of its cockpit. While Morden slunk away, Robotman punched Mallah unconscious as he flirted with Elasti-Girl.<ref name="Trail">{{TVE|Doom Patrol (Shorts) Episode: Trail of the Terrible Titan}}</ref> 

==Tricked by Madame Rouge==
After this, the Doom Patrol went on many rescue missions, all of which went very badly. The Chief decided it had to be a spy in their midst, posing as a member of the Doom Patrol and sabotaging all their missions. However, an error in his grammar caused Negative Man to realize the truth: the Chief was the impostor, and was trying to draw suspicion away from himself. Unaware of this, when Negative Man punched the false Chief in the face, Robotman grabbed him and hoisted him into the air. But as the phony Chief revealed himself to be [[Laura De Mille (Doom Patrol Shorts)|Madame Rouge]] in disguise, it was too late. Rouge grabbed all three of the remaining members of the team in her elongated hands and began crushing them, offering them seemingly no escape.<ref name="Spy"/>
