Adding some details clarifying that the demise of the original roster of the Doom Patrol didn't stick even before their debut in the 2003 Teen Titans cartoon.

* One of the main characters in Creator/JamesGunn's ''Creature Commandos'' animated series is Rick Flag Sr., the father of the better known Rick Flag Jr. seen in the ''Comicbook/SuicideSquad'' comics and movies. In the comics, a major part of Jr.'s backstory is that he was orphaned due his father having pulled a HeroicSacrifice.

** Thunderbird was killed off in the ''X-Men'' comics after only three issues, but was still shown alive and well in the cartoon. This is due to the episode being a [[PoorlyDisguisedPilot Backdoor Pilot]] for an aborted ''X-Men'' cartoon where he would've been one of the main characters. Presumably, this was for the [[TokenMinority sake of diversity]], since the only other non-white X-Man at the time was ComicBook/{{Storm}}.

** The ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'' episode ''The Laughing Fish" loosely adapts a 2-part comic story of the same name. In it, ComicBook/TheJoker infects two random victims with a lethal dose of his joker venom. In the TAS version, since broadcasting standards at the time wouldn't allow the writers to explicitly kill someone in a children's cartoon (at least, not directly); instead, Batman is successfully able to administer an antidote to the venom after both get infected. Doesn't stop the scene from being any less freaky though.
