Beast Girl officially makes her first appearance in DC's new Doom Patrol series. Written by Dennis Culver and drawn by Chris Burnham, a preview of Unstoppable Doom Patrol #1 introduces readers to Beast Girl, a new hero whose power set appears to differ from Beast Boy.
Beast is a name that has been used by several different characters in the DC Universe. The first Beast was a member of the first Suicide Squad, who served underneath Rick Flag during World War II. Another character named Beast was a demonic entity created by God in the Garden of Eden.
Starfire is not a black character. She is a Tamaranian, an alien species noted for their orange skin. The latest Live-Action series seems to have made her look like just some black girl.
Beast Boy barely survived the events of Dark Crisis, suffering a brutal attack from Deathstroke and losing an eye in the process. With his confidence weakened, he's been unable to hold the shape of the large and mighty animals that define him as a Super Hero.
Starfire was born and raised on the distant planet Tamaran before arriving on Earth and joining the Teen Titans. Her race, the Tamaraneans, are an emotional race who see feelings as the force that drives their very livelihood.
Beast Boy / Changeling (Gar Logan) can most typically shapeshift into any beast, meaning any non-sentient creature in the animal kingdom. As such, no, he couldn't become a sentient force of any kind. He does not need to have seen the animal before, just know of its existence. No, he cannot shapeshift into other people.
Weaknesses. Raven possesses a few weaknesses to her abilities: as an empath, she is unable to completely disconnect herself from other's emotions, being around too many people with heightened emotions can pose a risk to her. Raven is also susceptible to overwhelming mystical forces.
In the New Teen Titans comics by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, Beast Boy had the limit of only being able to transform into non-sentient animals he was aware of existing. This limit was established, so Beast Boy couldn't use his powers to replicate sentient species from other worlds, like Kryptonians or Martians.
As a child, Garfield Logan contracted a rare illness called Sakutia and was cured by a serum from a green monkey. This serum had the unintended effect of turning his skin and hair green and gave him the ability to change into any animal form.
When Raven uses her powers, her demon-half comes to the fore. The change is signified by her skin turning grey and her eyes turning entirely black. And, of course, all the horrific damage she is capable of inflicting in this form should also give her enemies a hint as to the presence of her demon-half.
It appears that Mother Mayhem has secured this power. She has removed the gem from Raven's head, and with it, the dark power of her father. As this happened, Raven's hair turned white, which has significant meaning for fans of the Teen Titan.
Background. The daughter of Teen Titans Robin and Starfire, Mar'i was born into a legacy of heroism. While much of her early life is unknown, it is known that her mother died from a circulatory illness when she was young. This happened despite Bruce Wayne's best efforts to help Starfire.
Deriving from being raised on the culture of her homeworld Tamaran, where it's acceptable to have open marriage, Starfire's sex-positivism and free-thinking habits such as a fondness for practicing nudism, openness to polygamous relationships and acceptance of "open sex" and pansexual "free-love" with persons ...
She has been married twice, both times to Tamaranean men: once to the Prince Karras to seal a peace treaty; and once to General Phy'zzon out of love. Karras died in battle, while Phy'zzon died trying to defend New Tamaran against the Sun Eater.
Titans' Beast Boy seems to have been transported to The Red when he first tried on his costume in S.T.A.R. Labs. This is likely where his powers come from. The character has been oblivious about this until Season 4, but with the rise of the Blood Cult, The Red may be ready to summon its avatar and show him the way.
Rachel, better known Doctor Hate, is major antagonist in DC Universe and secondary antagonist of the crossover event Beast World. It is Raven's demonic half who managed to escape and became a member of the Lords of Chaos known as the Dark-Winged Queen.
Having transformed into most of the meat-producing animals, Beast Boy has lost his taste for meat and is now a vegetarian, which often gets him arguing with the others (especially Cyborg) because he constantly attempts to have the others adopt his culinary taste as well.
