When the young scientist discovered the truth about his employer, he refused to continue the work. Ultimately, it was revealed that the benefactor was a man called General Immortus, who hired Caulder to create a chemical to replace the one that had been prolonging his life for centuries but was now failing. Thanks to the funding, Caulder succeeded in creating a chemical capable of prolonging life. Proving at a young age to be both a brilliant inventor and engineer, Caulder received funding from a mysterious benefactor. Ĭaulder developed an interest in creating better life at a young age. It is Caulder's genius that allowed the team members to survive (e.g., designing Robotman's body, devising Negative Man's medicated bandages), and helped grant their freakishness and amazing abilities. Caulder founded and organized the team called Doom Patrol to protect the innocent and fight crime, and to teach humanity to accept others who live as ostracized "freaks," who have been radically transformed from terrible accidents. Caulder uses his scientific knowledge to develop numerous inventions and innovations that have made him wealthy. Niles Caulder is a paraplegic with genius intelligence.
