At age 11, Garfield Logan's genetics kicked in and gave him green skin and powers. He could shapeshift into any animal from a goat, gorilla, tiger, bear or even a fly. He was taken in by the Teen Titans and moved into the Titans Tower. He regarded the Titans as family. Beast Boy signed up for a social media service called Tweeter and contemplated how to phrase his first twit post around the subject of pizza. Bumblebee suggested not making it about pizza but her advice went over his head. He settled on "Gonna have pizza soon." The Titans came upon a battle between aliens in the city. Speedy realized it was shaping up to be a big week for them, mentioning their victory over the Fearsome Five. Beast Boy recalled how pissed they were and vowing revenge. They decided to save the lone alien girl. Beast Boy turned into a rhino and bowled through several Gordanians then changed to a gorilla and decked more of them. The girl tried to tell them something but she was still peaking in her native language. Beast Boy at least understood the intent. Robin looked up and suspected she was talking about the portal.
Speedy reversed the flow of the portal by firing a high explosive arrow into it. The portal pulled in all the Gordanians but also anything and anyone around it. Beast Boy attempted to resist it by shifting to a heavier form. First, he tried a gorilla, then a rhino, and lastly, an elephant. After the portal closed, the girl kissed Robin and began speaking English. Beast Boy snapped a photo with his phone and started typing. She introduced herself as Koriand'r of the planet Tamaran. About four years later, Beast Boy overslept and rushed off to training without putting on his uniform. Raven pointed out he was naked. Beast Boy got dressed and admitted he slept in the nude like animals then boasted he was the entire animal kindgom crammed into a single magnificent specimen. Raven remarked he was something crammed into something. Blue Beetle's Scarab found the comment amusing. Beast Boy poked the Scarab and told it to butt out. The Scarab became angry and swiped at him. That night, Beast Boy was chilling out in his bedroom when Damian Wayne's sword came through the wall and nearly stabbed him.
Beast Boy turned into a chameleon and played with a Jenga set in the common room much to Jaime Reyes' annoyance. After Wayne apologized to Reyes, Beast Boy remarked he liked him now. On a night of mandatory fun, Starfire took the Titans out to a nearby carnival. Logan and Reyes got into a friendly competition. Logan's eagle eyes won him the shooting gallery while Reyes won the strong man. They found a dance off video game and competed. Logan won and rubbed it in, fueled by the crowd. Reyes offered free popcorn to anyone who could win. Damian Wayne accepted the challenge and won despite never dancing before. A battle ensued after Corruptor demons attacked Raven. Beast Boy took on the form of a tiger. After Raven banished the demons, she teleported the Titans to Azarath and explained her past. Beast Boy pointed out Raven's mother did it with Satan. Starfire scolded him and implored Raven to continue with her story.
Things got worse when the Corruptors possessed the Justice League. Beast Boy fought Wonder Woman in the form of an elephant but he got knocked out. 24 hours later, he was shocked when Robin implied he had a plan to take out Superman. The Titans and Cyborg boomed to the Middle East to rescue Raven. After Cyborg, Starfire, and Blue Beetle drew Superman close enough, Beast Boy carried off Robin in the form of a vulture. Robin stabbed Superman with Kryptonite and expelled the Corruptor. Beast Boy turned into a horse and Robin rode him to the Infernal Shrine where Raven was powering it. Beast Boy told Robin and his bony ass to get off then he stretched. The Titans were too late and Trigon arrived. Cyborg and the Titans ventured into Trigon's realm to look for a crystal to trap him in. Beast Boy's physiology didn't react well with the surroundings and he lost control, turning into a incoherent mess. He soon emerged as a free standing super strong wolf creature and saved Blue Beetle from demon spawn then into a smaller hellbeast.
After Trigon was imprisoned, Beast Boy told Cyborg to dump the Justice League and sign up with the Titans. Cyborg declined and Beast Boy turned into a donkey and farted at him. Beast Boy took a liking to new member Terra but he only got on her nerves. A year later, the Titans conducted a raid on a third H.I.V.E. base on the night of a full moon. While Starfire and Nightwing neutralized sentries, Beast Boy answered a post on Tweeter. On the ride up to the base, he turned into a fly to avoid the Scarab's errant swipes. He flew out into a base as a bird then charged as a rhino. He rammed a H.I.V.E soldier aiming at Terra's back. He swiped one as a bear then made a pun on the word "unbearable" to Terra's annoyance. To combat the exo suits, Beast Boy transformed into a mammoth and headbutted one. After Terra bashed several soldiers with boulders, Beast Boy landed on her shoulder as a monkey and took a selfie then asked her out to a movie. She tossed him and told him to keep moving. The mission ended with Nightwing asking Starfire to move into an apartment with him. Beast Boy interpreted it as they were too good to hang out with them.
The next day, Jaime Reyes and Garfield Logan squared off in a game of foosball. Logan got distracted when Terra entered the room and searched the kitchen. She noticed his stare, sighed, and left. Logan declared he was awesome but everything he did pissed her off. Reyes advised him to stop turning into a chimp and stealing monkey kisses. Logan insisted everyone thought it was adorable. Reyes disagreed then called a time out to talk to his family. Logan and Terra accompanied Reyes into the city. Reyes pointed out he didn't ask them to follow him. Logan declared they came to support him. Terra respected his desire not to talk about his problems. Logan didn't see any fun in that. Reyes stopped at a Gabrielle's Horn and revealed he was planning to volunteer in order to get the Scarab used to being around people. He met a girl named Traci who volunteered. Terra knew it was something else. Logan contended it was okay for them to have relationships and lives. He became concerned when Terra's mood suddenly changed and she left.
Logan's concerns only continued when Terra had another super powered night terror and shook the Tower. The next day, Beast Boy and Terra were paired off during training. He promised to take it easy on her. She relished the chance to shut him up. She raised the earth below him. He turned into a monkey then a bear and countered. She raised herself then leaped to levitating rocks. He dodged her attacks then wrapped her up as a snake. He stroked her head then leaned in for a kiss. Terra had another flashback and lost control of her powers. Beast Boy was swung around in a vortex then violently tossed. Blue Beetle destroyed her construct then Starfire blasted at her feet to jilt her to normal. Beast Boy admitted he took it too far. Terra couldn't believe their kindness and stormed off. The next day, Terra was startled by a surprise party thrown by the other Titans. Beast Boy revealed it was in recognition of her one year anniversary of joining the Titans. Beast Boy texted photos of the party to the absent Robin, unaware he had been captured by Deathstroke.
The party was cut short and the Titans deployed on a mission to attempt to capture a H.I.V.E. scientist. The scientist activated a swarm of drones and tried to flee his lab. Beast Boy turned into a kangaroo and stomped two drones, then rolled away as armadillo to avoid fire, and shifted into a gorilla. Terra and Beast Boy took cover behind some shelves. He whined they should have stayed at the party. Nightwing leaped past them and kicked some drones. The scientist was executed by a drone before they could question him but they discovered photographs and notes about them in his briefcase, including theories about Beast Boy's powers. Back at the Tower, Beast Boy tried to lighten things up by announcing he was invited to be on Kevin Smith's podcast the next day at Metro-Con. Starfire advised everyone to be extra vigilant and not take any chances in light of the revelation. Beast Boy refused to cancel. Starfire clarified they should keep their eyes open and comm lines open at all times. Beast Boy found Terra outside at the beach.
Beast Boy, in frog form, hopped onto a rock near her and apologized her party was interrupted. Terra was resigned to it happening. He advised her not to let the new revelations shake her up and promised he had her back. Terra admitted it was something else that bothered her. He turned into a rabbit and promised he was all ears, turned back to normal and remarked she had a pretty smile. Terra told him about how she became an orphan after she was persecuted about her powers. Beast Boy noted it could be a bond and talked about how everyone on the team dealt with pain, a pressure that either formed a diamond or grinded you into dust. They kissed. Terra told him not to get used to it. They kissed again. Beast Boy turned into several animals and cheered. Deathstroke came on her comm and admitted he almost believed her and informed her they would move on the Titans the next day. She stopped Beast Boy and told her she was tired. As she walked away, she readied herself.
The next day, Garfield Logan went to Metro-Con but found the assigned ballroom empty. He sat at the stage and noticed a big red button marked with a "Do Not Press!" sign. Logan couldn't resist the temptation and pushed the button. Three darts were fired from a microphone and neutralized Logan. Deathstroke took him into custody. Dick Grayson decided to check on Reyes and Logan before returning to his and Starfire's new apartment. Grayson couldn't believe Logan fell for the trap and issued a message to all Titans to gather at the Tower but it was too late. The Titans were placed in Brother Blood's Enervator machine. Beast Boy realized he couldn't use his powers and that Raven wasn't conscious. To make matters worse, Deathstroke introduced Terra as his double agent. Beast Boy initially thought he did something to her only for Deathstroke to surrender her to fulfill his contract with Blood. Blood used the machine to take on the powers of the Titans and transform into an ascended form.
Nightwing intervened and freed his comrades. Beast Boy turned into an elephant and wrecked part of the Enervator. He took a look at the still unconscious Terra then joined the battle. Despite the odds, Beast Boy and Blue Beetle kept attacking Blood until Raven summoned a Soul Self and reduced him to a withered old man. Beast Boy made his way to Terra, distraught over her betrayal. She apologized to Beast Boy then lifted him up on a piece of earth and sent him away to the other Titans. Beetle and Nightwing dragged him as they retreated. After the Church of Blood collapsed, Beast Boy dug Terra out. She took a last look at him and died in his arms. Some time after Brother Blood was defeated, Beast Boy was a guest on Smith's podcast. Smith started off asking how one became a Teen Titan and if it involved an audition or video submissions. Smith noted he was working out and wanted in. Beast Boy answered the most important thing to being a Titan was to have a strong sense of family but an outgoing personality and power didn't hurt either.
Smith replied his power to shapeshift was beyond cool. Beast Boy thanked him but explained it was really about them helping each other grow. Smith continued and, despite knowing not to ask, he addressed rumors of a new girl on their team. Beast Boy only commented she was a "wonderful" addition to the team and insisted Starfire would kill him if he said anything else. Smith was sure there was no way Starfire was listening to the podcast and joked she was brushing her hair. Beast Boy stated his lips were sealed then turned into a seal. Smith asked if she was a replacement for Terra, amid all the rumors circulating. Beast Boy became less talkative. Smith realized it was too soon and rescinded the question but Beast Boy decided to make a statement about Terra. He talked about how some people were handed a rough life and some never could rise above the pain of it. He concluded that Terra showed her true self when the chips were down and was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen.
