Powers
- Shapeshifting and communication with all forms of animals.
- As a shape shifter Beast boy has the ability to morph his body form according to his desire, the transformation takes only a mere second and Beast Boy demonstrated that he is capable of rapidly changing his form with little or no effort. His transformations are limited to the forms of animals, these animals also include extinct species like dinosaurs. His power enables him to completely alter his body mass being able to take the shape of animal far larger and heavier like an elephant, hippopotamus, or Tyrannosaurus Rex (though until recent stories, such larger forms would physically exhaust him), or smaller and lighter than himself like a mouse or an insect. Also his power enables him to radically alter his body structure and take forms of animals without limbs like a snake or without bones like an octopus. While in the form of animals he gains all physical abilities and characteristics of the animal like strength, speed, durability, the ability to fly or to breathe underwater. While in animal form he still completely retains all his human intellect, mind and memories, and retains the ability to speak. No matter what form he takes, his skin, hair and eyes remain green.
When Raven implanted Garfield with an evil seed of her father Trigon, he began to transform into more demon-like creatures. Eventually, he found himself more comfortable in these horrific shapes rather than as a human, and stayed shifted. After becoming completely corrupted by the evil seed, he was used by Raven and Trigon, and eventually returned to normal.
In the "Titans of Tomorrow" storyline Garfield, calling himself Animal Man, has the power to create copies of himself, and the ability to become mythical animals.

History
As a child, Garfield contracted a rare illness called Sakutia and was cured by a serum extracted from a green monkey. This serum had the unintended effect of turning his skin and hair green and gave him the ability to morph into any animal of his choice. The colors and appearance of these animals changed depending on the artist using the character at the time.
Before becoming a Teen Titan or part of the Doom Patrol, Garfield was placed in custody of Nicholas Galtry, the attorney for his parents' estate. While the young Logan was in Africa, Galtry had embezzled funds from Gar's inheritance. When Gar was found, Galtry plotted to kill the boy and have all the wealth for himself.
Originally and currently known as Beast Boy, he was adopted by Elasti-Girl and Mento, members of the Doom Patrol. He later joined the West Coast team of the Teen Titans (known as Titans West), and was part of the New Teen Titans assembled by Raven. It was at this time that he took the name Changeling. He remained with various incarnations of the team, forming a close friendship with Cyborg.
He later began using the name Beast Boy again, under which he got his own mini-series Beast Boy. Following a failed attempt to recreate "Titans West" as "Titans L.A.,", as recounted in Titans Secret Files #2, he rejoined the main team.
He has also worked as an actor, playing the role of an alien in the TV series Space Trek 2022 (which, even in the fictional setting, was a thinly disguised pastiche of Star Trek and Space: 1999, and was cancelled following threats of legal action on the grounds of plagiarism).
Beast Boy's character is often used as comic relief. However, this is only a facade, he uses humor to hide a deep inner pain. Beast Boy has suffered many hardships in his life (both his real parents have died, and his foster mother, whom Garfield became very close to, died in battle along with virtually all of the other Doom Patrol members with whom he was part of the team and his foster father was driven mad by a helmet he used to fight enemies). During his time with The New Teen Titans, Gar fell in love with Terra, a young girl with geokinetic powers and fellow Teen Titans member, who turned out to be a spy working for Deathstroke. Despite all his hardships, Garfield is friendly and upbeat.
His best friend is Cyborg (also a member of the Teen Titans). He is also close to Bette "Flamebird" Kane, a former Titan who helped clear his name from the crimes committed by an impostor on an adventure in Los Angeles.
In one occasion, he gained an evil rival in the Zookeeper.
