Ok I Know Beast Boy Can Turn Into Pretty Much Any Animal He Can Imagine
But What I'm LOST About Is Can He Also Morph His Uniform?? (In Teen Titans GO! The Cartoon Series Ep 9 S 3 "The Beast Within" When Gar Morphs Into His "WereBeast" His Uniform Rips From His Body)
If He Can, What Is His Uniform Made Of??
Beast Boy
Character » Beast Boy appears in 2006 issues.
The classically green-skinned member of the Doom Patrol and later the Teen Titans, Beast Boy has the power to transform into any creature of any size.
I Have A Beast Boy QUESTION! :P
In Marvel, Reed Richards created the unstable molecules to make his suit stretch and be extremely durable. I know this doesn't help with the Beast Boy question, but I imagine it's something similar.
I'm Not Sure If Maybe He Has A Suit Like Reed
But I'll Have To Look at A Few Old Issues Of Doom Patrol :P
what upsets me the most is that the newest writer on Teen Titans gave him a power upgrade without telling anyone or explaining why or how it happened

Where his uniform goes - writers have never dealt with it properly - in the old Doom Patrol in the 60s, he told Cliff that his uniform doesn't go anywhere, his body emanates some sort of photon illusion that makes his uniform the same colour as his skin/feathers/fur - which is just dumb. I can look up the issue number if you want it.
Titans 17 - Wally says his super speed vision lets him see where Gar's uniform goes when he changes. Wally: "change the subject or I'm spilling the secret."
I think the answer is that the writers haven't figured that out yet.
But on the DC boards we did figure out that Gar has latent telepathic powers b/c he can use the Mento helmet, and not everyone is able to. This means that probably when he changes form, even if he is a housefly or something with no vocal cords, he appears to talk to people around them bc he is instinctively/unconsciously talking to them telepathically. To them, it just appears that he is somehow talking normally.
Actually it is mentioned in the comic: Titans Fractured.
In it Beast Boy is talking to Wally West at breakfast:
B.B.: Y'know, Wally, next time Grodd goes on a rampage you should put pants on him at super speed.
Flash: Yeah, well, it's that same super speed that lets me see where your pants go when you shape shift, so change the subject or I'm spilling the secret.
So, what is the secret? The authors basically know they can't explain it, so they just make a joke about it, but unfortunately that probably doesn't answer your question. Still, I just bought this book today, and as soon as I looked up Beast boy, here was your question, weird huh?
I've also thought about that. During the transformation of Beast Boy, the suit disappears. Then reappears.
My explanation would be that the suit is made up of nanotechnology. The suit can be reduced to the size of a molecule and then reconstituted.
" Yo tambien he meditado sobre eso. Durante las transformaciones de Beast Boy, el traje desaparece. Luego vuelve a aparecer. Mi explicación seria que el traje esta constituido por nanotecnologia. El traje puede reducirse a el tamaño de una molecula y despues se reconstituye.-------- I've also thought about that. During the transformation of Beast Boy, the suit disappears. Then reappears.

"Wow A Hispanic that come with subtitles, now I've seen it all :P
" my question is why cant he turn into other people as well we are technically animals "Huh, interesting... does this mean that when he turns into a dog he can only be one representative of all dogs... or can he be any kind of dog... because the reasoning there could apply to why he can represent other humanoids.

i think its that he can only transform into animals he has seen or knows about. if he doesnt know a certain alien species exists or what it looks like, he cant transform into it.
@juniora96758: that answers the eternal question! thanks!
