Negative Man is Larry Trainor. He is a superhero.He was exposed to a radioactive belt while piloting a test rocket. This experience left him radioactive himself but gave him the ability to release his soul out of his body, which can fly at high speed and pass through solid materials when desired, and control it. Unfortunately, Trainor found that he was barely conscious while the being is released leaving his body defenseless in the process.While Negative Man appears to be a costumed mummy, his specially-treated bandages cover his entire body to protect innocent bystanders from his hazardous body condition and bind his soul and body together. He was a founding member of the Doom Patrol along with Elasti-Girl, Mento and Robotman.
