Topic: What happened to Beast Boy/Changeling?

Hey All,

After reading through some old DC Comics over the past few months and specifically some Green Lanterns (Kyle Rayner era) I was surprised to see the new Titans fighting a big green dragon called Changeling.

Is this our beast boy? if so...what they hell did they do to him? And what happened to the original titans (wolfman and perez run) inbetween now and the titans run im speaking about?

Can anyone fill me in? [Big Grin]

Don't know about about that, but does anyone else hate the name "Beast Boy"? Stupid Johns...

[And yes, I do know him getting stuck with the name again predates the current TT. Specifically, it comes from the Johns-written mini...]

I don't mind the BEAST BOY code-name at all, but a fan of Silver Age Legion stuff would be likely more accepting of it.

The Beast Boy mini was quite good with some faboo art. It also featured the revitalization of Flamebird. Hooray, Johns!

That was Gar Logan. He was being controlled by Raven at the time.

My thing about Beast Boy is that it makes him sound like he's in the wrong series, and Changeling doesn't fit either, it's like he needs a name that has to do with animals.

"Changeling" is a stupid name. It *might* make sense for someone who copied the appearance of other humans, but still its kind of a dumb name for a hero. Though it might explain the Raven attraction.

"Beast Boy" has nice alliterative pizzaz.

Someone once suggested MENAGERIE on the DC board, and it's a word I like but I still think I prefer Beast Boy.

"Menagerie" makes him sound like a chick.

I'm curious about the purple/green thing. Was he origially purple? When did the color change happen and what was the explanation?

The purple was part of a mask.

But - with the new Doom Patrol thing going on hasnt his origin totally changed? He's got no connection with the DP any more has he? So none of the Mento stories ever happened now did they? Or have I got that wrong?

Byrne's specifically said he's not going to use Mento. So he still exists almost-as-was, but that only resolves a piece of the puzzle.
