Every One Of Jane's 64 Alters In Doom Patrol (So Far)

For viewers wondering how many of Jane's alters are there in Doom Patrol so far, here are all of Jane's Doom Patrol alters explained. First appearing in Doom Patrol #19 in 1989, Jane was originally a woman named Kay Challis. Sexually abused by her father when she was five, Kay withdrew and developed a new alter named Miranda. The memories of her troubled childhood returned after Miranda was attacked in a church on Easter Sunday, destroying her new alter and fracturing her psyche into 64 distinct alters. She was committed shortly thereafter and held in a psychiatric hospital for several years, until all of her alters (except the dominant one, Jane Morris) gained superpowers after the Invasion! crossover event. All Jane alters in Doom Patrol are distinct in personality and superpower, making Jane is one of the most intriguing Doom characters in both comics and the show.

Diane Guerrero's portrayal of Jane and all Jane alters so far has been true to the spirit of the original Doom Patrol comics. Unfortunately, those comics did little to quantify Jane's 64 alters and their powers beyond naming them. The show has also done little to define the Jane alters Doom Patrol reveals, beyond showing Dr. Niles Caulder's map of Jane's mind. Despite these difficulties, we will attempt to chronicle the many faces of Jane as the first season of Doom Patrol unfolds. Unfurling the many entries on the map of The Underground, we will break down which of Jane's personas we see explicitly introduced in each episode. In some cases, educated guesses will be made as to the identities of other characters we think might have appeared. Now that Doom Patrol season 3 is completed and with season 4 on the way, here are all of Jane's Doom Patrol alters.

Every One of Jane's Alters Shown So Far On Doom Patrol

Many of Jane's alters have been shown in seasons 1-3 of Doom Patrol. Jane enters the action about halfway through the pilot episode, but unlike the rest of the Doom Patrol, the show gives no insight Jane's life before she gained her powers — the Jane alters in Doom Patrol have been a mystery gradually uncovered. Mr. Nobody does describe several of Jane's alters as she first meets Robotman, and it is her actions that trigger the action of the episode once the rest of the cast is introduced. Viewers first learn more about Jane's alters and The Underground that holds them in the second episode "Donkey Patrol."

Jane - Her primary alter out of all Jane alters, which has no powers other than being sane and reasonable compared to most of the other people who share her head. In the comics, she had no powers. Her name was inspired by a series of poems by Yeats.
Sylvia - Described by Mr. Nobody as having a spooky voice and a moody alter. In the comics, she was locked in a small room in The Underground and created to hold Jane's feelings of claustrophobia. She recited poem fragments in the belief that she could use them to make a key to escape from the room. Possibly named in honor of the poet Sylvia Plath.
Hammerhead - One of Jane's alters Doom Patrol sees as more confrontational. Tries to pick a fight with Robotman upon first meeting him and the police when she and Robotman go out to Cloverton. It is unclear what her power is, though given that she was able to punch Robotman without breaking her hand in "Donkey Patrol", it may be some form of invulnerability and/or super-strength. Jane grows a distinctive tattoo of a winged skull on her chest when Hammerhead takes over her body.

The Hangman's Daughter - A quiet woman who enjoys painting. In the comics, she has the power to psychically interact with her paintings. Her full name is the Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, which is taken from an album title by The Incredible String Band.
Sun Daddy - A giant figure with a sun for a head, who has the power to throw fireballs. While not identified by name, this character (easily identified from the comics) briefly takes over when Elasti-Woman loses control of her body and her blob form rampages down the main street of Cloverton in the pilot.
Baby Doll - An innocent, child-like alter that believes everything is wonderful. Her powers are unknown. She is a big fan of Cyborg and is scared of Robotman.
Scarlet Harlot - In the comics, a nymphomaniac with the power to create ectoplasmic projections and absorb psycho-sexual energy. While not identified by name and not manifesting any powers, this seems to correspond with Jane's alter who says "Please touch me." after another alter tells Robotman not to touch her while she's having a seizure.

Flit - Robotman watches one video of Dr. Caulder interviewing Jane, where she keeps teleporting around the room. This seems to be Flit - a persona of Jane's from the comics who has the power of teleportation and is capable of traveling to other dimensions.
The Wall-Crawler - One of the videos of Dr. Caulder's interviews with Jane show her sticking to the ceiling and refusing to come down and talk. This unnamed alter does not correspond to any alter Jane exhibited in the comics.
Flaming Katy - Only described as "Katy" in one of the interview tapes between Jane and Dr. Caulder, this alter is said to have first shown up when Jane wanted to try on some new clothes and Katy shoplifted against her wishes. In the comics, Katy is a pyrokinetic. On the show, Katy emerges as a woman made of living fire. She doesn't like being interrogated and is one of Jane's more anti-social alters.
Lucy Fugue - In the comics, she is a woman with radioactive bones and see-through skin, who has the power to generate harmonic vibrations. In the show, she has electrical powers and is able to shock Cyborg into unconsciousness.

Silver Tongue? - Listed on The Underground map next to Hammerhead, this persona is believed to be unique to the Doom Patrol television series. It seems likely this is the persona who attacks Robotman by speaking words which manifest in silver writing that becomes solid. The words can also be reshaped into objects, like a sword. When Jane is in this persona, she has silver make-up decorating her lips and chin and her hair is sorted into several small braids.
Penny Farthing - In the Doom Patrol comics, she is a shy woman who speaks with a stutter. Her name is taken from the old English term for the bicycles from Victorian times with a front wheel that is larger than the back wheel. Upon going back to Doom Manor to undergo questioning, Jane has a breakdown and Penny, among other alters, appears.
Driver 8 - The conductor on the subway that travels through The Underground. Her hat has an infinity symbol on it. The name comes from the title of a song by R.E.M.. Driver 8 appears in Doom Patrol when she speaks to the alter in The Underground after Karen is dragged off by Hammerhead.
Mama Pentecost - A master of cryptograms and enigmas, this alter emerged to help the Doom Patrol save the world in the comics. In the series, she has the power of multilingualism.

Driller Bill - Visible on the Underground map, this persona was never described beyond being named in the original comics. In the Doom Patrol series, the alter Driller Bill has super strength.
Black Annis - Named after the archetypal wicked witch, who loves the taste of human flesh (especially children), Black Annis manifests as a withered hag with blue skin, red eyes, and sharp claws. A violent man-hater because of what happened to Miranda, Black Annis manifested in the comics whenever Jane was physically threatened by a man. She appeared in Doom Patrol when Jane wandered off into a memory deep in the Underground. Black Annis has claws and an enhanced sense of smell.
Secretary - Appearing dressed in a suit, this no-nonsense alter briefly surfaced during Doom Patrol season 3, to recommend the Codsville Mountain resort. Her superpowers include a high level of intellect, as well as accelerated tasking. Her intellect helps keep the Underground functioning and alive.

Every Jane Alter Still In The Underground

First seen in the second episode "Donkey Patrol," The Underground is a mental subway grid that houses all of Jane's alters whenever they are not taking control of her body. Cliff Steele discovers a chart in Dr. Caulder's lab that tried to map-out The Underground and notes the connections between various personas. The map is full of references to the original Doom Patrol comics, where 52 of Jane's other selves were seen, though not all of them were explicitly named. The chart also lists some names that seem to be unique to the reality of the Doom Patrol television show.

Sex Bomb - In the comics, this persona creates explosions whenever she becomes sexually excited.
The Signalman - One of the many railway-themed alters that inhabit The Underground in the comics, presumably helping to maintain order. The name is believed to be a reference to a horror story by Charles Dickens, where a signalman hears warning bells and sees a spectral figure before a disaster. His powers are unknown, but may be based around sensing danger or seeing ghosts.
The Snow Queen - This Jane alter from the comics is presumed to be named after the story by Hans Christian Andersen, which later inspired the movie Frozen. Presumably, the Snow Queen has the power to create and shape ice from thin air.
Blood of the Lamb - Little is known about this alter, who, in the comics, resembled Jane as if soaked in blood.

Liza Radley - In the comics, this completely normal alter was awakened after Jane was exposed to a loving, supportive environment. Jane's other alters aren't sure how to react to her and many distrust her, as she encourages Jane to seek to heal her condition.
Bizzie Lizzie Borden - Inspired by the infamous historical Lizzie Borden, this alter may be a fake alter Jane assumed that pretended to be Jane's new dominant alter.
Unknown Gladiator - One of Jane's alters in the comics that was depicted in a crowd scene but never named, this one is dressed as a gladiator and presumably has the fighting skills to match.
Kit W'the Canstick - In the comics, an old woman who carries a candlestick. Her powers are unknown.

The Sin Eater - This alter is a masochist who believes that she must suffer for her sins. In the comics, she typically takes charge when Jane is in tremendous pain or being tortured, apparently having some kind of enhanced fortitude that allows her to resist intense physical pain.
Pretty Polly - The name of this alter is taken from an English folk song about a young woman murdered by an untrue lover, whose ghost later sought revenge. Beyond the name, nothing is known about her.
Jack Straw - This alter is a living scarecrow, like the character from The Wizard of Oz.
Merry Andrew - In the comics, this alter dresses like a harlequin and is always carrying toys.

Lady Purple - In the comics, Lady Purple has the power to see the future but she rarely talks about what she sees. Despite this, the other alters all seem to look to her as a leader. Her name is believed to be a reference to a line in the song "Christine" by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Jill-In-Irons - A large woman wrapped in chains, powers unknown. Presumably a female version of Jack-In-Irons, who is a mythical giant in the legends of Yorkshire.
Unknown Girl, Redhead - One of Jane's alters in the comics that was depicted in a crowd scene but never named, this one is a young girl in a school uniform with red hair.
K-5 - In the Doom Patrol comics, Jane's original alter from before she was molested by her father at the age of 5. She is said to be asleep deep in the Underground.

Stigmata - This alter continually remembers Jane's assault in a church as a young woman and bleeds from the hands and feet as if crucified. Her powers are unknown.
Rain Brain - Speaking only in stream-of-consciousness poetry, this persona can become insubstantial, making Jane immune to physical attacks.
Bubble - This persona is believed to be unique to the Doom Patrol television series. Her powers are unknown, but her name is visible on the Underground map next to Rain Brain and Lucy Fugue.
Miranda - Jane's former dominant alter, who first manifested after K-5 went dormant during Jane's childhood. She later destroyed herself after her assault in a church, leading to the creation of Jane's other alters. Confined to the Underground, her station is occupied by an indescribable horror which only Driver 8 can look at without being utterly destroyed.

Jeann - Named in the comics but never identified, Robotman saw her station when he once entered into the Underground in the comics.
The Shapeless Children - This alter continually repeats the phrase "Daddy don' do it"." This could be a reference to Jane's father assaulting her - the incident which triggered her psychosis.
The Weird Sisters - A three-in-one alter, presumably based upon the three Fates of Greek mythology or the archetypal three witches and a pun on the word "wyrd" meaning fate. Their powers are unknown.
