"Buddy Baker always called it his superhero cocktail... a group of animal abilities and traits he always tapped into when going into action as the Animal Man before me. After a few adventures altered my powers here and there I took time off and went to college to better understand animal and marine biology. When I came back to the hero life and teamed up with Baker to save his kids he decided it was time to retire and passed the title on to me. After my powers were altered I came up with my own cocktail. For me though, its more of a base form." Gar thought about his past while warming up for another training session in their upgraded HQ.

"Bio-electricity manipulation of an electric eel."

"The mostly bulletproof hide of a rhino."

"Agility and jumping skills of a flea. That was the one Buddy recommended." after the texture of his skin slightly changed up he stopped jumping up and down in place and swinging his arms around. 

"After failing to put together my own adult Titans team I just protected Jump City on my own for a few years with
 the occasional assist from somebody like Cyborg or Arsenal. Eventually I got a call from Batman to join his new group of Outsiders back here on the east coast. That's how I got to know people like Blue Devil, Metamorpho, and Oracle." he continued to think about his past... but before the holo-droid could mimic a supervillain the holographic head of Oracle appeared in the training room. 

"The Wayne Industries board and Gotham Zoning Committee is still fighting me on the zoning for your new tower. Victor could've told me what he was planning." Oracle stated. 

"He didn't tell me until the moment he started constructing it. Vic was right though, the Titans needed a tower." Animal Man responded. 

"The bunker was adequate enough space for a handful of teenagers." Oracle continued. 

"The Titans were never a covert team hiding in a bunker. You got anymore leads on Bane's daughter? I'm not so sure she's getting the slappers made outside of city limits. We've staked out the bay three times now in a week and haven't made any progress." Gar added.  
 
"You and the team may have to just go out on patrols more until you find the dealers. Not everyone juicing up on slappers goes around in a knockoff Bane mask. I still haven't figured out who's using them in the GCPD." Oracle mentioned as it seemed someone was coming into the training room area of the new T Tower.  

"Keep in touch if anything changes." Animal Man said in closing.

"I will. The new suit looks good, Garfield." Gordon commented as her Oracle hologram dissipated. 

Before another Titan could get into the War Room level of the Tower, Gar booted up another training session against an old enemy of his. If the Titans were coming to the training area, they'd be stuck in the viewing room until Animal Man was finished with the Silver Scorpion in the shopping mall setting.
