More likely it was an answer to the \u003cem\u003eFantastic Four\u003c\/em\u003e, which had begun at the end of 1961; by 1963, DC may have realized that Marvel's offbeat approach to hero teams was a success and it was time for them to try their own version.\n\nWith the success of the Doom Patrol, which began in \u003cem\u003eMy Greatest Adventures,\u003c\/em\u003e the title was changed to \u003cem\u003eDoom Patrol\u003c\/em\u003e with #86.
