ON THEIR GRAND CANYON VACATION, BEAST BOY TELLS HIS ORIGIN STORY TO THE NEW TEEN TITANS
In Tales Of The New Teen Titans (1982) #3, we learn the origin story of Beast Boy. On their Grand Canyon vacation, Beast Boy grills hot dogs for the New Teen Titans. During that time, he tells them his origin story. Previously, Beast Boy was the child of deceased Mark and Marie Logan. Named Garth Logan, he contracted the deadly jungle disease named Sakutia in Lamumba.
Relevantly, Mark Logan was an expert in many science fields. Though he claimed to have isolated the common genetic code between humans and animals. Unfortunately, Mark’s attempt at a cure granted Garfield animal shape-shifting powers with a green complexion. In an accident, his parents died with young Garfield unable to save them.
