Synopsis
The Chief abruptly disbands the Doom Patrol, but Larry, Cliff, and Rita decide to stay together and build a new headquarters, unaware that the real reason the Chief dismissed them is because he has found that he only has 90 days to live. A new villain, Mr. 103 strikes.
Notes
Mr. 103 is named for the then-current number of elements in the Periodic Table. He later appears in issues 105 and 106.
