History Series / DoomPatrol2019

** Edwin Paine of ComicBook/TheDeadBoyDetectives is established to be gay and harboring an unrequited crush on his partner Charles Rowland, when in the comics Edwin was indicated to like girls in the ''Dead Boy Detectives'' story featured in issue three of ''Vertigo: Winter's Edge'' as well as the 2014 series by Toby Litt.

** Dorothy is the daughter of [[spoiler:Nile Caulder]] and a cave woman, and her powers are inherited from her mother, whereas in the comics she was just a metahuman.

** Dorothy Spinner is established to be over 100 years old while [[OlderThanTheyLook looking physically like an 11-year-old girl]] before puberty eventually caught up with her after she got her first period near the end of the second season. In the comics, her age was initially unclear (with some artists drawing her in a way that she looked like an adult woman, particularly Erik Larsen in her debut during Paul Kupperberg's run and her depiction on the cover of the ''Vertigo Jam'' one-shot by Glenn Fabry), but was implied by Cliff to be a minor during Rachel Pollack's run in the 68th issue before she was subsequently confirmed to be 14 years old when the recap page of the 70th issue said so, plus she was most likely at least 18 when she was TakenOffLifeSupport at the end of John Arcudi's run, as that series indicated that the incident that led to Dorothy becoming comatose occurred four years ago.

* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: The show's interpretation of the Unwritten Book, [[NamedByTheAdaptation given the name Elliott Patterson]], is depicted with a full head of hair when his comic counterpart had a shaved head.

* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: The circumstances of Dorothy's first period are more pleasant for her here than in the comics. Rachel Pollack's run established that Dorothy was [[PeriodShaming made fun of by other children for menstrually bleeding in front of them]] and was told to her face by her mother that she should have been aborted (which was made worse in hindsight when John Arcudi's run later revealed that Mrs. Spinner was Dorothy's ''adoptive'' mother), plus Dorothy frequently expressed self-loathing over how her menstrual cycle made it difficult to control her powers. This continuity has Dorothy experience her first period in the bathroom of a convenience store in "Dad Patrol", where the clerk is there to guide her through it and assure her that what she's experiencing is normal and a sign she's entering adulthood, in addition to no indication given that her powers are affected by menstruation.

* AdaptationalFriendship: The show draws heavily from Creator/GrantMorrison and Rachel Pollack's runs on ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'', but uses the original core Doom Patrol lineup, with Cyborg and Crazy Jane added for AdaptationalDiversity. Consequently, Rita, who in the comics was dead for several decades and didn't meet anyone from the Morrison era until Creator/JohnByrne's run that infamously ignored prior continuity to start over from scratch brought her back and ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' caused a CosmicRetcon where the events of the previous ''Doom Patrol'' comics were restored to continuity (albeit with the implication that John Byrne's run was still canon [[BroadStrokes in some form]]), has ties to Jane, who was introduced after her death, plus has a backstory as [[TeamMemberInTheAdaptation a former member of the Brotherhood of Dada]], which again was introduced long after her death. The show also gives her a WeUsedToBeFriends background with Madame Rouge, who in the comics was her bitter enemy. The show also has Dorothy Spinner having close friendships with Jane and Casey Brinke, the former of whom barely interacted with her in the comics and the latter of whom wasn't introduced until [[Comicook/DoomPatrol2016 Gerard Way's run]], which started publication years after Dorothy was rendered comatose and subsequently killed off in John Arcudi's run as part of the comic's tradition of cleaning house for every new roster of the team.
