Beast Boy is Garfield "Gar" Logan, a young superhero member of the Teen Titans with the power to take the form of any animal. Through an unspecified incident, Garfield was granted the metahuman ability to act as a conduit for The Red, a semi-mystical energy field connected to all animal life on Earth; this connection turned his skin green and allowed him to take on the shape of any animal. After Garfield Logan's parents died, he was taken by Nicholas Galtry, who sought to access the fortune belonging to Garfield's parents—and, to this end, he attempted to have Garfield killed.
