WHY DOESN'T BEAST BOY JUST TURN INTO A KRYTPTONIAN

He should turn into a kryptonian dog like Krypto or a kryptonian cat like Streaky or a kryptonian monkey like Beppo but turning into a kryptonian horse like comet is off because shit's complicated.

THEN WHY DOES HE TURN INTO DOLPHINS OR GORILLAS

He can turn into aliens, dinosaurs, and creatures haven't been proven real (bigfoot), creatures that are real in the DC universe (dragons), creatures that are smarter than human children (dolphins)

Isn't he only capable of transforming into Earth beasts?

THEIR SAPIENCE IS A DEBATABLE SUBJECT

that would actually be pretty neat.

He can't because WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS WORDS

THEN WHY DOESN'T HE JUST TURN INTO KRYPTO
HE WOULD WIN LITERALLY EVERY TIME

>aliens
That's just fucking stupid, then. That should clearly be limited to species that genetically originate from Earth.

YOU
MEAN
SOPHONT

HE NEVER SAW KRYPTO HOW THE FUCK HE WILL TURN INTO A FUCKING SPACE DOG IF HE DON'T EVEN KNOW THEY EXIST

I
STAND
CORRECTED

>sells

HE'S NEVER SEEN DINOSAURS EITHER HOW DOES HE TURN INTO THOSE THEY'RE LITERALLY ALL FUCKING DEAD

THERE IS PLENTY OF INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR BIOLOGY EVERYWHERE, HE COULD SIMPLY RESEARCH ON HOW THEIR BODIES WORK AND LOOK LIKE

because kryptonians arent animals?

Why doesn’t Beast Boy turn into a tardigrade and go into suspended animation and wake up years into the future because everything sucks now

Beast boy isn't that bright. Plus, we don't know for a fact that he can mimic the Kryptonian ability to absorb energy from a yellow sun.

Go find a psychiatrist and ask for some happy pills.

Claps go between syllables NOT words you nerd

The actual reason is because the bigger and stronger a form is, the more energy it takes to use it.
Wolfman and Perez came up with that to explain why he doesn't just always turn into a t-rex instead of anything else.
I imagine a Kryptonian would be a form he could maintain for like one second, if at all.

He once turned into a Khundian warrior as a disguise

Dinosaur attacks are surprisingly common in comics.

That's a good answer because 90% of his fights would be won if he just turned into a fucking t-rex

Ben 10 who????

According to Wolfman and Perez, the reason as to why Garfield is never seen shapeshifting into other humans, although his powers should allow it, is because any human he turns into would be green and there would be no point for him to use that ability unless he was turning into someone like the Hulk.[28]

so there's literally nothing stopping him from just turning into superman

Except for

Same reason why Animal Man doesn't absorb the powers of every superhuman in the room, and kill them

No it's when black girls or fat feminists say something they think is sassy as fuck

animal man would need permission from the red first.

They didn´t say anything about stronger forms, just size...

MacDONALD: What possible rationalization is there that Changeling cannot change into a human?

WOLFMAN: The fact that the people who created Changeling said that? [laughter]

MacDONALD: There is none?

WOLFMAN: There is none. George and I have talked about this and said that even if he could turn into a human, he’d turn into a human who was green, so unless he was becoming the Hulk, it wouldn’t make much sense. We’d rather just keep it to animals, for whatever reason. He was bitten by a monkey and he was injected with this monkey juice [general laughter].

Hey, we didn’t create him. The only thing I wanted to do when I used him was to change his name because I though Beast Boy was a really stupid name, and to handle the character for fun, with the underlying problems that he has, because he had this really awful origin. Every set of parents he ever had were killed. So we try to avoid that and put that away and say he only turns into animals and the larger the animal, the fewer changes he could make because it tires him out faster, but those are things that came about later.

George and I didn’t think in those terms. We had him turning into dinosaurs and all sorts of things in the early issues and he keeps changing into stuff. Later on, we decided that we would only allow him to change into certain mass and at that point, if it’s too large, he can’t make another change for 24 hours or until he recuperates. So again, these are things you learn. All series do that. I mean, in The X-Men, Moira MacTaggart began as a housekeeper and now she’s a doctor, so you get a complete change and it’s probably better for the strip. But you have to do those things.

He'd have to stay in that form for a while to charge up form our yellow sun. If maintaining the kryptonian form takes energy then it's a wash.

I think it can be extrapolated from there, though. If there are limits on the mass, surely there must be limits on the amount of power that creature is able to exert. It did take him years to be able to turn into mythological creatures.

Another explanation could be that post-Crisis they made it so it took Superman many years to get his powers, so transforming into a Kryptonian would put him at square one with no powers.

Beast Boy is so shit and I hate the push he gets. Animal Man, Vixen, and Bwana Beast all excel past that green fuck

BUT HIS BACKSTORY INVOLVES FIGHTING SAPIENT NAZI GORILLAS! NO; REALLY!

Well, he transformed into creatures that didn't even exist the first time he got some real motivation, namely to kill madame rouge. And post crisis he theoretically could transform into superboy prime, who explicitely has little to no charge time.

Only after new 52, if they are still playing up the red connection. But the bottom line is that it all depends on the writer.

But hey, if you want him to quit...

Does Beast Boy use the Red like Animal man and Vixen? I know they explained why they can't use Kryptonian powers for very long

They retconned it so he did later on. In the New 52 they made him red at first, even, to make it more apparent.

His backstory also involves him saving an African king and technically becoming a prince.

Discussing power levels is kinda pointless when there's so much someone with his powerset could do.

This is literally wrong

WHY IS EVERYONE YELLING I'M SCARED

Alan Moore came up with the idea for him to lose control and get stuck into monstrous, lovecraftian forms so naturally that idea was run to the ground.

Alternatively, you could pull off a very threatening BB by going the other way around and making an evil version of him be perfectly controlled. Him as an assassin would mean there's no place where there's life that he couldn't get into...

Attached: gar slade in prison.jpg (1041x1600, 565K)

better question is why you talk like a retard?

Why doesn’t Beast Boy turn into a deadly strain of Influenza or Ebola and infect his foes?

Why doesn’t Beast Boy turn into something small, enter his foe’s ear/nose/mouth then shift into a blue whale, exploding them from the inside?

Why doesn’t Beast Boy transform himself into a human that isn’t a manlet?

He has done the first thing, it's a very difficult thing to do since it's pretty easy to get fucking killed as a microorganism.
He has threatened to do the second on multiple occasions, though never done it because he doesn't kill. I think he's done it to a robot or something at least once.
Last one is because he's not a regular shapeshifter where he can just look like whatever he wants, each form is exactly one thing.

Because that would be gay just like you.

I just want to watch a goddamn 3D animated video of Starfire and Raven going down on on Beast Boy's literal horse dick, preferably using Skudbutt's models of the two, despite his having not yet made a model for Starfire.

Is that too much to ask for?

He did that in the doom patrol run, in the silver age, but even a desease like ebola takes several days before it can kill a person. The better alternative is pic related.

Vixen was able to become Kryptonian, but only because her powers had been temporarily altered.

You have to go back

PEOPLE TALK LOUD WHEN THEY WANNA ACT SMART RIGHT?

do NOT do this. Every school shooter has been on those. Makes you think doesn't it.

Am I the only person who finds this whole (clap) nonsense painfully annoying?
Its a written medium. Stop trying to include your dumbass gestures. use an emoji or smiley face or just write it out like you werent an awkward sperg

Evil Beast boy makes so much sense that I'm surprised no one actually went there.

Bruh exercise, diet, and therapy. Happy pills are a fucking crapshoot, most won't help you and make you more suicidal and if they do work, for all we know thirty years from now thry'll find out they cause alzheimers because they fuck with your brain chemistry so bad. Fuckouttahere.

why would you ever turn into a lame kryptonian when you can be a fucking tyrannosaurus whenever you want?

Why not a kryptonian T-rex?

The canon reason is he's an idiot

It's a reference to morons on twitter being condescending with emojis.

>and had terrible hair
good lord he looks like a backstreet boy

still not a source.
note I'm not disagreeing with those claims. just that there are fucken sources to be had for this shit too. you didnt have to reach so far up your ass for it

Fair enough, I wasn't trying to back the shooter claim; just that happy pills are bad for you more often than not.

It depends, my life is much more bearable now that I take Xanax. Still, it's horrible to depend on medication just to be able to live normally.

A Kryptonian isn’t an animal.

This is from a separate time when he went insane from a bad experience with his stepdad's telepathic helmet.
So evil=bad hair

Why doesn't he turn into a black person?

Oh is it Markiplier?

>why doesn't Beast Boy just turn into [insert fictional creature with superpowers here]
Because it's stupid and makes most of his powerset worthless.
Why ever turn into a t-rex when you just turn into a dragon and have the same brute strength but also wings and fire breath? Why turn into anything that isn't a dragon as long as you aren't in a confined space?
Why turn into a wolf, bear, or gorilla when you can just turn into a werewolf and effectively be all three combined?
It's like if you revealed that Batman can shoot ki blasts out of his hands like a DBZ character at will, but then he only does it once in the scene where the power is revealed and it never comes up again.

I know, I'm saying that it's stupid when writers do that because there's no good reason for Beast Boy to not just be a dragon in every fight.
Don't give him one form that completely overpowers all of his actual animal forms or he stops being Beast Boy. You may as well just rename him to Mythical Creature Boy.

>Mythical Creature Boy
I vote we make this guy a teen titan immediately. that kid is going places

Reminder that the reason Gar has never been in the Justice League is because he said no to Dr. Fate himself.

It still begs the question of why he would turn into bears when there are better bears in the past. Why turn into a lion when cave lions are better

It's the classic shapeshifter dilemma, like how far can Skrulls or Mystique transform into. I feel like it should be a conservation of mass type of thing relative to cognitive ability, like say Gar could morph into a fuckhuge bear but be dumb as rocks while he could be a supersmart bunny.

>when there are better bears in the past
only bigger. not really better.

As a kid, I always wanted bb to transform into a falcon, dive at an enemy at max speed (240mph) then transform into a blue whale at the last instant to deliver maximum force. I was convinced this would be so op.

Now I know it would just result in a crater full of whale giblets, which is still a pretty funny scenario for me to picture.

No, it's a reference to that skittles commercial with the little boy who likes berries and cream claps as he talks.
