Fictional character biography

Baby Wildebeest is created by the Wildebeest Society and designed to house the souls of Azarath. However, he is rescued by the Titans and joins the group.[1] Although the size of a toddler, he has disproportionately powerful strength and later demonstrates the ability to grow in size. He additionally regards Pantha as a mother figure, and she grows to care for him despite not initially liking him.[2] [3]

After the New Titans disband, Pantha and Red Star adopt Baby Wildebeest and move to Russia.[4]

In Infinite Crisis, Baby Wildebeest is killed by Superboy-Prime.[5] In Blackest Night, he is temporarily resurrected as a Black Lantern.[6]
