Doom Patrol was DC's answer to Fantastic Four. The X-Men debuted afterwards, and so close to it that any similarities were just pure coincidence.
Gavin Foster
Fantastic fakeasses in a good way.
Jacob Brooks
What does that make Kirby's Challengers of the Unknown?
Jayden Parker
Yeah, you can definitely see how Ben Grimm influenced Cliff's personality in the early DP. And take away the wheelchair-bound leader, the other similarities with X-Men kinda fall apart. Look at the difference in time period between the debuts of both Brotherhoods.
Owen Fisher
A partial inspiration for the Fantastic Four
Hudson Bailey
Prototype Fantastic Four.
Easton Hughes
Sausage party Fantastic Four

Stan Lee Cope
Elijah Bell
Prototype Fantastic Four and successors to the Sky Masters of the Space Force
Joseph Allen
Though the Sky Masters weren't superheroes, but were an early Kirby exploration team.
no u. AAF #14 has a prototype X-Men story that sets up familiar but slightly different concepts based on pulp sci-fi.
>mutants
>two are telepathic
>MC can fly
>MC is hounded out of his hometown and invited to a safe haven for mutants
The creator of Doom Patrol worked at Marvel shortly before moving to DC and having DP published

Apart from the leader being in a wheelchair, I never understood how doom patrol was similar to X-men.
Blake Cooper
because it's a group of freaks/outcasts.

Fake ass GLA.

I've seen people force comparisons like Cyclops concealing his eye beams to Negative Man concealing his radiation behind bandages, or Beast supposedly ripping off Beast Boy (Even though Beast pre-dated Beast Boy) or them both supposedly being outcasts (something that very rarely ever came up in X-Men, despite later revisionism). Really, the only other comparison that kinda works is them both having enemies called The Brotherhood, but given that neither debuted with that team in place, even that falls apart.
Ryder Scott
I wanna see a Death Battle with Niles Caulder vs Charles Xavier
Xavier Powell
>(something that very rarely ever came up in X-Men, despite later revisionism)
It's one of the first things brought up in issue 1 once Xavier starts expositing.

One panel, and then the only other instances are stories where they're framed, display their powers out of costume or the first Sentinel story. Otherwise, they were consistently shown to be admired by the public and swamped by fans.
Brody Gutierrez
both
Jacob Collins
Since X-men is a retooling of "The man in the sky" of AAF 14.
Does that mean that Dikto indirectly took part to the X-men creation ?
Christopher Rogers
Hi estate of Stan Lee. Doom Patrol was first and this will always be the case.
Carter Peterson
The only thing that DP will ever be first at, is at sucking
Yes. Albeit, there were numerous storytimes that presented proto X-Men stories from 50s.

and never really came up in DP
Robotman - The Thing
Negative Man - Human Torch

Doom Patrol did not predate AAF 14, trannoid. It did rip of FF tho
