Dorothy Spinner was a girl with the power to bring her imaginary friends to life, who found herself as part of the Doom Patrol.
History
Dorothy and the Doom Patrol went on many adventures together, including having to battle the Brotherhood of Dada and the Candlemaker, a destructive egregore that Dorothy accidently unleashed with her powers.[1] Some years later Dorothy fell into a coma. Distraught, Robotman had to be the one to make the call and take her off life support, ending her life.[2]
Years later, Cliff is still reminded of Dorothy's death and keeps a picture of the two of them with him.[3] When the Doom Patrol relocated to Kansas, Cliff started a tradition to visit Dorothy's grave every Tuesday. [4]

Notes
- Dorothy Spinner was created by Paul Kupperberg and Erik Larsen, first appearing in Doom Patrol (Volume 2) #14. However, Dorothy Spinner first appeared as part of Prime Earth continuity in Doom Patrol (Volume 6) #3 by Gerard Way and Nick Derington.
- Dorothy made a cameo appearance at the Metropolis pride parade with fellow Doom Patrol members Danny the Brick and Coagula, this however is likely an error as all other references to her before and after the parade describe her as dead.[5]
