Name:Garfield Mark Logan
Alias:Beast Boy
Age:15 Years Old
Powers/Drawbacks:Animal Physiology - Garfield Logan has the powers to shapeshift into any animal that he has seen in real life or in illustration. With this, he gains the strengths and powers of those animals, and the exact physiology of that animal. That said, like any animal, and even in his human form, he can still be mortally wounded, injured, in any way. Some animals give a better duration to this, but he can still die in any of his forms. Garfield is also still very much still has the mind of a human within these forms, and does not become completely wild. And possibly, if the chance ever comes, he could be able to even transform into alien lifeforms from worlds beyond Earth.
Skills:Combat - As a superhero, this is a basis for fighting bad guys. Garfield knows how to fight, rather crudely perhaps, as he is still only a kid who has never had any pure combat training like Batman and his sidekicks.
Agility - Teenagers are young and in their pure prime, and with the addition of Garfield’s superhuman abilities, he is more than just in his prime. He’s fast, and somewhat pretty flexible.
B[io:Garfield Logan was the son of Mark and Marie Logan, who were scientists who researched mutations and spectacular evolution of animals. They were funded by STAR Labs on their projects, as they didn’t nearly have enough money for R&D by themselves. In 2003, their beloved son was born.
However, soon after the months Garfield was born. Mark and Mari had discovered a body of an unheard of animal in the deep exotic rainforests within Africa. With the evidence of this animal that had once lived on Earth, the couple had brought it to STAR Labs, asking if they could study the creature. It had been a green monkey.
Mark and Marie had further looked in the specific rainforest in Africa, and discovered many odd animals similar to the green monkey. WIth enhanced intelligence and abilities, with even the plants seeming strange. Mark and Marie had come to the conclusion that the African rainforest had evolved before any other area on Earth.
They would create a home in Africa along with their son, Garfield. As he grew older, at the age of 9, his parents had finally decided to allow him to study, research, and explore that particular rainforest with them whenever they went. They would do this somewhat often. However, one trip, Garfield had been bit by a snake once he accidentally had stepped on the creature. Mark shot the snake with his rifle, and the parents brought their son back home.
The poison Garfield had been hit with was unknown, advanced, and antivenom had not seem to affect Garfield’s dying body. The parents, remembering that the dead green monkey they had found had a powerful resistance to disease and viruses. Decided to use one of the samples they had took of the animal and turn it into a medicine. It took a week, but Garfield gradually become better until the poison left his body. However, his body changed.
His skin, hair, and eye color had became green like the monkey. His hair started to grow similar to a monkey’s and his teeth turned to animal like fangs. He was a mystery, and soon enough, Garfield learned he could transform into animals. His parents were astonished and terrified, and notified STAR Labs about their son’s condition and the newly created medicine they had created.
It didn’t take long for LexCorp to learn of this special medicine through leaks from STAR Labs. And LexCorp wanted it, a step before STAR Labs could get the chance. They weren’t the only company who were dying to get their hands on this new medicine. However, Garfield’s condition was kept secret to protect him.
Garfield, seeing the heroes of the Justice League and many more, believed he could use his powers for good and be a superhero. His parents, obviously, did not like this idea.
LexCorp offered the Logan family a great deal of money for this medicine. However, Mark and Marie refused. On a trip to Metropolis, Mark and Marie were killed in a ‘boating accident’ and Garfield was left by himself in the city of tomorrow. Garfield was the age 14 when this had happened, and was smart enough to know there were too many coincidences for the accident to be a accident, like the medicine from his parents’ destroyed boat being taken, and more secretive things like the knowledge of Garfield’s abilities.
After that, the beast-like boy went on the run to the West Coast, scared to be found and publically known as a freak of nature. And at one point, to bump into the Titans.
