Origin
Damn All was one of Dorothy Spinner’s imaginary friends who she created during her lonely childhood. The husband of Darling-Come-Home and father of Flying Robert, he and his imaginary family played with Dorothy, told her stories, and taught her to read and write. He was shot to death by Dorothy when she was eleven and they began to tell her stories that she found frightening.
Creation
Damn All was created by Grant Morrison and Doug Braithwaite. He made his first appearance in Doom Patrol #25.
Major Story Arcs
Imaginary Friends
Damn All and the rest of his family are summoned up by Dorothy Spinner’s psionic powers, combined with the presence of the materioptikon. He sews her door closed to trap her with the family, and chases her down when she is rescued by Joshua Clay. He and his family try to force Dorothy to wear red shoes, a metaphor for growing up. They are defeated when Joshua destroys the materioptikon and Dorothy accepts the need to grow up, and puts on the red shoes, which are now ruby slippers.
Powers and Abilities
Damn All is a psychic construct. As such, he is functionally immortal for as long as his creator exists, and could presumably continue to exist for as long as the idea of him lives somewhere in someone’s mind. He has reality warping abilities, but only so long as he is in proximity to a materioptikon. He has six eyes, which are always watching Dorothy.
