“He Who Fights Monsters” 1) For many years, Cadmus has been producing DNAliens, creatures made by mixing human DNA with other DNA strands, for the purpose of creating beings with unusual abilities. Some of these, like Dubbelix, are peaceful and even benevolent. Others, like Bette Noir, are self-serving creatures. But others… some of the others are downright evil monsters. Project Cadmus keeps these imprisoned deep in the bowels of the Project. 2) One of these DNAliens, a truly terrifying creature named Hexx, escapes from the Project. This happens sometime in the past, and is only discovered as this plot opens. This is discovered when during a routine check of his cell, they find the corpse of one of the Project guards. (The question of how it took this long to notice the guard’s absence may be raised, but will go unanswered). 3) In the meantime, Hexx takes over a small town in Louisiana, using his psionic powers to force the town into giving in to their baser impulses, essentially removing all of their inhibitions. Unaware of the connection, the Doom Patrol is dispatched to investigate the phenomena. 4) The DP have several small encounters with inhibitionless citizens of the town. They slowly begin falling under the spell themselves. 5) Monitoring from the Project, the Chief uses Lindsey as a broadcaster, transmitting a frequency wave that cancels out the psionic effect around her. Giving the DP their sanity back. 6) The DP are able to find and battle Hexx, who was grown powerful, feeding off the emotions of the townsfolk. 7) Hexx is defeated. The DP return him to the Project. 8) The Chief meets with other Cadmus scientists, who declare it a “successful field test of Hexx.”
