Obviously not the whole Doom Patrol.
Over yonder http://www.byrnerobotics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34606&PN=1&totPosts=65 there is talk about what characters would you swap between DC Comics and Marvel Comics, and who would work best in the others' Universe?
I postulated that Machine Man, a Jack Kirby creation from the late 1970s, would work great at DC Comics.
The idea is that Cliff Steele, known as Robotman after his only living tissue (his brain) is transferred into a robot body, is destroyed in the fatal explosion which killed the original Doom Patrol circa 1969 http://earthboundburlyman.blogspot.com/2010/01/friday-night-fights-villainous-victory.html
However, as happened in "actual" history, Cliff's body was salvaged and a new robotic body built to house his brain. Here's where the Machine Man design steps in, complete with Kirby's badass "Hand Weapons System" which means the right hand has an entire arsenal of weaponry inside it. Powerful destructive force, on top of being super strong and durable.
I think Cliff would be digging this more "human" robot design, complete with plastic "mask" of his own human visage!
