Marilyn - Doom Patrol (2019)

An acquaintance and friend of Dr Harrison in 1977, Marilyn was a patient at Corpus Sanatorium at the same time as "Jane".

She was persuaded to join the Cult of the Recreator and helped in the exercise of transforming and writing the Rewritten Book into a dog. She was the one to suggest that the bell of Nurnheim be rung to reveal the hidden words, causing Harrison to call her out for her brilliance and asking that she be the champion that will find her when the time came.

In 2019, upon witnessing the Decreator appear over Cloverton, Marilyn set about on her mission to find Dr Harrison and summon the Recreator. She travelled to Barcellona, where she cut open a priest to breach worlds and transport herself to Neurnheim. Having followed her instructions to the letter, she warmly greeted Jane as an old friend, making a comment that they were definitely no longer in Jersey. Realising that she did not recognise her, she made a joke about looking the same as she had done thanks to cigarette and tomato pie, before trying to trigger her memory with how much joy and elation Harrison had caused her, giving her life purpose. Marilyn added that now the world needed the Doctor as much as she had done all those years before.

Wanting to do her duty and prepared to sacrifice herself for her friend and her deity, she stood up to Mother Archon, mockingly calling the high priestess and her Hood Men guard the circus. Scoffing at the notion that she was spitting in the face of God, Marilyn mused that she only believed in Springsteen and had spat in his twice before. Pulling a gun on the woman, she rolled her oxygen tank between them and fired, shouting "Viva la Recreator" as it ignited and killed them all.
