Avengers: Infinity War
Despite the claims of many a Marvel fan , a tragical scene at the terminal of theDoom Patrolepisode " Flex Patrol " is not a blatant rip - off of the ending ofAvengers : Infinity War . While there is a outstanding optical law of similarity in how the characters ' bodies slow melt to debris , the scene is taken from a DC Comics al-Qur’an from 1991 .

The latestDoom Patrolalso understand Flex being give up from the Ant Farm - the Bureau of Normalcy ’s secret enquiry and development installation . Unfortunately , once the team was safely back at Doom Manor , they discovered that Flex had amnesia and seemed to manage about nothing more than his favorite liquid ecstasy operas after decades in captivity with nothing but television to occupy his mind . gratefully , Crazy Janewas able to settle Flex ’s long - lose married woman Delores , who had been abducted and brainwash into becoming a Bureau of Normalcy agentive role . The sound of her laugh was enough to restore Flex ’s creative thinker and powers , as his smile repair her memory . unluckily , just after they hugged for the first time in decades , Delores begin to crumble into dust - a fail - safe the Bureau of Normalcy had put in within her to prevent her from getting too near to Flex , when she was still trying to fight her computer programming .
Despite the digital result being standardized to those utilized to portray those citizenry killed byThanos ' snap inInfinity War , the death of Delores inDoom Patrolis taken directly from the original comics . Here , Flex Mentallo confronted the Men From N.O.W.H.E.R.E. ( the group that was adapted into the Bureau of Normalcy in the show ) and just scarce escaped with his life , lose his judgment and his baron in the physical process . He wandered the Earth for several years before being rescue byDanny The Street , recover his memory after he reckon the Men from N.O.W.H.E.R.E. fighting the Doom Patrol . It was shortly after this , inDoom Patrol # 43 , that he was found by his quondam girlfriend , Delores Watson , who gave him his onetime costume before she begin crumpling to dust . With her dying breaths , she revealed that the Men From N.O.W.H.E.R.E. had been forcing her to research for Flex for decades so that they could recapture him .
While it is easy to see how comparisons could be made between the visuals of how Delores dies inDoom Patroland the many heroes who exit inAvengers : Infinity War , it is unfair to say that the former ripped off the later . Marvel Studios does not hold a monopoly on the idea of people collapse to junk when they go ; and theDoom Patrolcomic in which it first bechance free several months beforeInfinity Gauntlet#1 where Thanos first snapped ( and the impact was spontaneous vanishing , not " not feeling so good " and becoming dust ) . The accusation are wry , however , given the belief of many comic book historiographer thatX - Menstarted off asa rip - off ofDoom Patrol .
