The Negative Man/Negative Woman/Rebis Connection
OK, I've checked wikipedia and they say that Negative Woman had little to do with Rebis at all. Basically, while Neg-Man was in a coma/hospital, she became Neg-Woman, but then the 'spirit' of Negative Man left her and went back to Larry Trainer.
When it did, it merged Larry not only to itself but to Dr. Elanor Poole, and they both became Rebis. Even more confusing, Rebis mated with Coagula, who apparently was a DPer during Rachel Pollack's run. Rebis was then killed at the end of the run, although a new Rebis arose to take its place.
If this all is true, it kinda makes sense that (1) Negative Man was killed then (of course that all means little now), (2) Negative Woman was depowered and may still be alive, and (3) there may still be a Rebis. However, I can hardly see how a Rebis could exist if Larry Trainer is alive as Negative Man per the Byrne DP.
I also admit that the more confusing this is, the more amusing it is.

Supes, is there a place where you can ask Grant Morrison stuff? 'Cuz that would be an *awesome* website. (I guess there's the Dan Didio newsarama threads, which I think are supposed to still go on after IC...)

So I did some research. If you don't count the original members, there are absolutely NO LIVING Doom Patrollers from the beginning of the series to the end of the Vertigo run. More accurately, while some are not 'dead', they are virtually un-useable in that they were pretty overtly written out (Crazy Jane, Danny the Street, Rhea/Lodestone).
The one exception: Beast Boy.
Other members are the (4) during the late 90's Arcudi run (no idea if still alive) and the (4) additional ones under Byrne's run that actually hurt my eyeballs and brain when I think about them.
This knowledge, for some reason, excites me greatly about the new Doom Patrol. By the end of the Vertigo run, the only living DPers were Robotman, Beast Boy (hardly a DPer anymore, more of a Titan) and Dorothy Spinner (later deceased in continuity). That's some crazy shit!
