A rat with a scarred eye named Benny serves as Pied Piper's second-in-command in San Perez. While working undercover as a rat for the San Perez Police Department, Beast Boy was surrounded by him and the rest of Rat Gang in the sewers. Beast Boy claimed he wanted to join the gang because he liked crime. Benny was skeptical and thought he was a snitch. Beast Boy insisted he was an every day rat. Benny questioned why he was green. Beast Boy lied he was from Canada. The rats conversed with each other and believed him. Benny told Beast Boy if he wanted in, he had to face Lil' Annie first. Beast Boy was tasked with stealing a pizza slice from Lil' Annie's Pizza. Benny claimed it was the best pizza in the city. If he pulled it off, he was in the gang. Beast Boy soon encountered Lil' Annie, the resident cat. Beast Boy eventually obscured the rats' view from outside by throwing flour around. He transformed into a dog to scare Annie away then turned back into a rat and exited with the slice. They went back into the sewers and feasted.
Benny told Beast Boy he was one of them. Beast Boy asked when he was going to meet the big boss. A tune generated by the boss, Pied Piper, placed the rats and even Beast Boy in a hypnotic trance and they marched to Piper's hideout. They robbed the precious gems exhibit at the San Perez Museum. Beast Boy was accidentally freed from hypnosis from microphone feedback created by Detectives Furst and Young over comms by mistake as they quarreled about telling Commissioner Wolfman or not about what they were doing. Beast Boy turned into his normal form and tackled Piper. Benny was naturally upset to be lied to. Beast Boy apologized and suggested getting pizza after he got out of jail. Benny refused to eat pizza again because he would only taste the betrayal. Beast Boy defeated Piper and used his flute to make the rats grab him. They were all arrested except Benny. He observed from the roof of the museum and vowed it wasn't over. He later infiltrated the prison through the toilets then chewed up the control panel to Piper's cell.
They were about to escape when Mister Toad proposed an alliance with himself, Elephant Man, and Killer Moth. They tracked Beast Boy to a suburb and fought him. They were defeated again. From a tree, Benny told Beast Boy the rats of San Perez would have their revenge. Mickie's cat, still stuck in the very same tree, appeared and attacked him.
