Synopsis:
In this retelling of Beast Boy's origin, Gar Logan gains the power to take on any animal form as a child, as well as green hair and skin, when his medical researcher father uses an experimental process to save him from a fatal jungle disease. After his parents drown in a flood, the future Beast Boy dwells alone in the jungle with the aid of natives in a nearby village. Unknown to him, Nicholas Galtry has been appointed his legal guardian and is searching for him.
