Baby Wildebeest

Within Teen Titans continuity, the Wildebeest Society experiments with creating genetically-created host bodies for spirits to possess; after Jericho is possessed by the spirits of Azarath and becomes leader of the Society, Baby Wildebeest is described as the Society's only successful experiment. Published creation: first appearance in New Teen Titans vol. 2 #85 (April 1992), created by Marv Wolfman and Tom Grummett. In-story, the Titans adopt Baby Wildebeest, who regards Pantha as his mother.

Default form is described as the size of a human toddler and visually as a small anthropomorphic wildebeest. He is also depicted as capable of transforming into a larger, adult form — described in sources as becoming a twelve-foot powerhouse when provoked. Adaptations (Teen Titans animated series) incorporate elements of the character by portraying a human child who can transform into a wildebeest hybrid.

Baby Wildebeest possesses immense strength, stamina, and durability; sources state that when provoked he becomes a twelve-foot powerhouse and is strong enough to take blows from Superman. Editorial intent recorded in sources frames the character as having great physical power while being of low intelligence consistent with an infantile status. Narrative behaviors include protective responses toward caregivers (notably Pantha) and participation in team combat and crossover events.
