Beast Boy recounts his origin for the Doom Patrol, how he contracted a rare disease as a child and his father used his reverse evolution ray to cure him, but with the side effects of his skin turning green and gaining the ability to change into any animal. The Doom Patrol realizes that Dr. Weir has stolen the secret of reverse evolution from Beast Boy and is using that to turn lizards into dinosaurs which he controls to commit robberies.
