EVALUATION SUMMARY
for
BEAST BOY
The subject is one of the founding members of the Teen Titans and before that was a member of the crime fighting group known as the Doom Patrol. He now stands six feet tall and weighs 164 pounds. He is approximately 17 to 18 years old and has been fighting crime for more than six years.
The subject stands six feet tall now, with a slender, athletic physique. His appearance is distinctive because his skin and hair are green. He also has pointy ears and oversized canine teeth but it is his green skin which is his trademark. He has a single but amazingly flexible and adaptable power. With just a thought he is able to change his body from that of an athletic teenage boy to that of any animal that has ever walked, flown over or swam across the earth. He effortlessly performed four such transformations of himself in my presence. Despite sometimes turning himself into creatures which are quite aggressive, he retains his own mind, his ability to reason even when taking these other shapes.
A Nexis database search revealed news stories about Beast Boy fighting crime with the Doom Patrol as far as August 17, 2002, when the Gotham Chronicle ran a front page story with the headline "Whale That Carried Passengers of Doomed Ferry to Safety Was Actually a Member of The Doom Patrol". Beast Boy fought crime as a member of the Doom Patrol for nearly three years before joining the Teen Titans at the group's inception.
He has been the most popular member of the group and has acquired a reputation for patient dealing with the public even amid near stampedes by children and, especially, girls trying to meet him.
A review of his record found no incidents in his entire six plus years of crime fighting in which Beast Boy harmed an innocent person. He apparently had one brief episode of difficulty in controlling his changeling powers approximately two years ago but was nursed back to health and full command of his faculties by his teammates. For most of his career with the Teen Titans, Beast Boy was the smallest member of the group. After a recent growth spurt, he is now taller than Robin and the change in his appearance resulted in his doing modeling work for a car company as well as fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, Christian Dior, Polo, Burberry and Armani.
The subject lost his parents in an accident that occurred shortly after he gained his powers. This tragedy has provided motivation for the subject and a template for his use of his powers. But he does not appear to have reacted with anger or a thirst for vengeance upon criminals as a result of it. In his time with Doom Patrol, his emotional needs do not appear to have been well met. This was part of the reason for his jumping to the new Teen Titans group. As a result of his lesser size and age, and a natural propensity for extroverted behavior, the subject's sublimated anxieties came to the surface in the form of something of a class clown personna within the group. It's worth noting that as the composition of the group has changed and the subject himself has changed, the frequency of his seeming the class clown has diminished.
The subject is intelligent and has an at least normally developed grasp of ethical considerations. He shows genuine sympathy for the downtrodden and absolutely no inclination to use his powers for personal gain. He has a very moderate temperment and fairly typical interests for a young man his age.
Most evaluations such as this would include a physical to determine if the subject suffers from a physical condition that will affect his outlook or judgement. I contacted S.T.A.R. Labs requesting all pertinent data on the physical condition of Beast Boy. As with other subjects, S.T.A.R. Labs responded with a terse declaration that all such data was protected by the same doctor-client privilege as psychological information. They did provide the following:
"Beast Boy
age: Approximately 17 years
height: Six feet
weight: 164 pounds
fat percentage: 6 percent
chest: 38 inches
waist: 31 inches
hips: 36 inches
neck: 15 inches
bicep: 12 inches
thigh: 19 inches
calf: 12 inches
We have performed 4 complete physicals of Beast Boy including full body magnetic resonance imaging, CT scans, full blood, urine and biopsy testing using state of the art laboratory equipment and analysis. We still do not understand his ability to vary his DNA but our understanding of the data from all our tests shows no disorder limiting his physical capabilities or affecting his state of mind."
In my best professional judgement, I find that the subject, Beast Boy, does not constitute a danger to himself or others.
