Beast boy (Earth-7)

Biography 

Origin

Garfield Logan was the son of two brilliant biologists who traveled to Africa for field research. His mother, Marie Logan, was a scientist and animal activist, and during an expedition in West Africa she conceived Garfield. The family remained in Africa to continue their work studying wildlife and ecosystems. 

Transformation

 At the age of 10, Gar contracted a rare and dangerous fever — a mutated strain of a virus previously only infectious to animals. The disease left him bedridden and close to death. His father also became infected and soon passed away. In desperation, Marie reached out to an old friend, Dr. Niles Caulder, a renowned scientist and leader of the Doom Patrol.

Caulder devised an experimental treatment, altering Garfield’s DNA to incorporate traits from various animals. This saved his life but gave him an extraordinary side effect — the ability to transform into any animal he could imagine.

As Beast Boy

 After his mother’s death, an old friend of her, Rita Farr, decided to adopt Gar and took him to England for further medical observation. Beast Boy was integrated into the Doom Patrol, a team of Caulder’s “misfit” protégés, each granted powers by fate or accident. Despite being the youngest and least experienced member, Gar inspired his teammates to use their abilities for good. 

 Living alongside eccentric and often older heroes, Garfield found himself struggling to fit in even among outsiders. Nevertheless, he honed his abilities and developed into a reliable member of the team, fighting villains like the Brotherhood of Sin. 

 Over time, Garfield left the Doom Patrol to explore the world on his own and discover his true identity and potential. This led him to join the Teen Titans, where he fought alongside heroes such as Starfire, Raven, Cyborg, and Nightwing, finding not only new teammates, neither a chosen family, but true friends.
