It's a comic about a team of misfits who have been shunned by society, coming together and learning to use their powers for good while fighting for acceptance, under the leadership of a brainiac in a wheelchair. They're called The Doom Patrol, and they were first published four months before the X-Men even existed. The conspiracy deepens, however, because in March of 1964, the X-Men were fighting the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, while the Doom Patrol was fighting The Brotherhood of Evil. The similarities between the two comics were so strong that Doom Patrol creator Arnold Drake accused Stan Lee of somehow stealing his ideas, though it's never been proven. Maybe great minds think alike. Or just have an inside track.
