While investigating facts about Doom Patrol, I found out little known, but curios details like:
The Doom Patrol, a group of misfit superheroes in the DC universe led by men in wheelchairs that was released a few months before Marvel's X-Men. The author is convinced that Stan Lee knowingly stole the concept since many Marvel and DC writers worked together at the time.
In 1963 DC Comics published "Doom Patrol" a team of misfit/outcast superheroes led by a wheelchair bound genius. Three months later, Marvel Comics published the first X-Men story.
