Other Descriptions Physical Description: slim and not muscular yet he's strong when he transforms Personality: He's kind to anyone that's nice to him He is a laid back pure american. Weaponry: none but he can transform into any animal but that goes with powers too Powers: transforms into any animal Weaknesses: Meat he will not eat meat History: Beast Boy changed his name to the Changling but changed it again when he joined the Teen Titans.American biologists Mark and Marie Logan brought their young son Garfield with them when they began research in the African nation of Upper Lamumba. While there, he was bitten by a rare green monkey, and contracted an even rarer disease called sakutia. Desperate to save their son, they used an untested serum (or machine, depending on who tells the story) on him and saved his life, but turned his skin permanently green.
Some time later, Gar’s mother was attacked by a black mamba, and Gar instinctively transformed himself into a mongoose to protect her. It was then that Gar discovered he could transform into animals.
Hard Knock Life Gar’s parents died in a boating accident while he was still young, and he was taken in by King Tawaba, chief of a local tribe and friend of his father. He was then captured by a pair of jewel thieves who brought him to America and forced him to help with their crimes. After they killed each other, he was found by a man named Nicholas Galtry. Galtry took over guardianship of Gar... and his trust fund, the only thing he really cared about.
Gar also met the Doom Patrol and the original Teen Titans, though Galtry would not allow him to join either team. He occasionally worked with the Doom Patrol under the nickname Beast Boy, and was eventually adopted by Steve Dayton (Mento) and Rita Farr (Elasti-Girl). (Well, maybe.)
After the Doom Patrol was killed, Gar moved to Hollywood to pursue acting. His major role was Tork, the alien shape-shifter, on Space Trek: 2022. While in Los Angeles he joined the short-lived Titans West. When Space Trek was canceled, Gar returned to New York and the Dayton estate. When Raven brought together the new Teen Titans, he finally joined the team...but he wanted a new name: Changeling. Gar became friends with the new Titans, particularly Cyborg, and his time on the team helped him release a lot of the anger left from his childhood and the number of loved ones he had lost. He remained on the team throughout its trials, though there was more pain to come.
The Titans took in a new member, Terra, who was about Gar’s age. He fell in love with her, and was devastated when he discovered that she had betrayed them all to Deathstroke the Terminator, and had merely played him. Unwilling to believe she had been evil from the start, he blamed the Terminator for corrupting her, and swore a personal vendetta against the mercenary that ended, surprisingly, with the two of them talking things out in a diner.
Darkening Changeling’s life turned darker when the Brotherhood of Evil tricked him into stealing his father’s Mento helmet. They tortured him with it, and the experience left him only able to transform into nightmarish creatures instead of normal animals. Things got even worse when Dark Raven implanted a Trigon seed in him, turning him completely evil. He was eventually captured by the Titans and put in stasis at S.T.A.R. labs until he could be cured.
The evil Changeling escaped just as Cyberion and Starfire arrived on Earth, and the Titans left on a mission to space that ultimately freed both Raven and Changeling from Trigon’s control.
Beast Boy Gar explored space with Cyberion until his once-human friend started to get too “weird,” and Gar returned to Earth. Rather than join the next group of Titans, he went to Los Angeles to try to get his acting career going again, moving in with his cousin Matt. He found L.A. still knew him as Beast Boy, and while his acting career floundered, he and former Titan reservist Flamebird tried to put together a new Titans West team.
Nothing really panned out, though, until Beast Boy, Cyborg, and Starfire re-formed the Titans as a mentoring group, based in San Francisco. Younger than his teammates, but older than the teens, he tries to act as a bridge, but his wise-cracking personality is sometimes more of a barrier.
While in San Francisco, Beast Boy underwent another change. One of his parents’ colleagues, Dr. Samuel Register, had also become infected with a mutated form of sakutia. Exposure to this second strain reversed the changes to Gar’s metabolism, making him normal again, while the same virus gave all the children in San Francisco his shape-changing abilities. Register intended to cure himself even if it meant killing the children, and in order to defeat him, Gar reinfected himself. In addition to restoring his powers and turning him green again, this second exposure gave him pointed ears and fang-like teeth.
