Beast Boy

A reference-guide entry in Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe is where this DC character first stepped onto the page in 1985, a Bronze Age introduction that placed Beast Boy squarely in the company of icons like Hawkman, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl. With appearances stretching across three decades into 2017 — touching titles as varied as Legion of Super-Heroes and the offbeat Shade, the Changing Girl — this is a character whose catalog footprint is modest but whose DC pedigree, courtesy of creator Len Wein, is anything but.
