The Chief (Niles Caulder) is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, usually as the leader of the superhero team Doom Patrol.[1] Created by Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani, he made his debut alongside the other original members of the Doom Patrol in My Greatest Adventure #80 (June 1963). Despite sharing similarities with Professor X, he is, however, a regular normal human.
The Chief made his first live-action appearance on the DC Universe series Titans, played by Bruno Bichir. In DC Universe and Max's eponymous Doom Patrol series, he was portrayed by Timothy Dalton in the first two seasons and guest starred in the third and fourth seasons.
