Tekniskt sett har mekanismen för Beast Boy transformativ DNA aldrig någonsin förklarats eller utforskats. Är det magiskt? Är det vetenskap? Är det nanotech? Vi är aldrig riktigt medvetna om kapaciteten hos hans DNA. Huruvida han skulle kunna skapa livskraftiga avkommor på grund av hans DNAs ovanliga natur har aldrig bestämts.
Beast Boy has the ability to morph and transform into any animal that he has seen himself or has seen in an illustration (as is the case when he shapeshifts into an animal such as an extinct dinosaur).
These transformations take only a second and Beast Boy has demonstrated that he is capable of rapidly changing his form with little or no effort expended. As a corollary to this power, he can transform back into his default form if an external force like magic transforms him into an animal.
Vi vet att hans kraft kan påverkas av magi, den kan förstärkas genom teknik, och han kan lägga utländskt DNA till sin transformativa matris, men den underliggande funktionen har aldrig uttryckligen förklarats. Vi vet att han var en människa som förvärvade denna förmåga, antingen genom naturlig mutation eller genom inducerad mutation (tidigt ursprung).

While an animal, he gains all of the physical abilities, attributes, and characteristics of said animal, such as greatly enhanced superhuman strength (a gorilla), superhuman speed (a cheetah), and enhanced durability (a turtle), and abilities such as flight (various birds), and aquatic breathing (various fish).
He can even gain the specific poisons and toxins produced by specific snakes. He also gains the ability to survive or otherwise live in the same hostile environments some animals can, as seen in one comic where he morphs into a parasitic worm to become immune to the stomach acid and the immune system of Brother Blood when he dived into the villain's intestinal tract to retrieve Raven's chakra.
While in animal form, Beast Boy retains his human intellect, memories, and the ability to speak.

- Beast Boy's transformations have not been limited to Earth life forms. When on a rescue mission in the Vegan system to free Starfire, he easily transformed into a Gordanian, one of the green-skinned alien warriors native to the system, in order to sneak Robin and Cyborg onto a warship.
In the "Who is Wonder Girl?" story arc, he was able to infiltrate another alien world after being shown a green-skinned creature native to the planet; he had some difficulty with this change, claiming that Earth-animal forms he knew instinctively, but was successful in the transformation.
When he pursued Madame Rouge in revenge for her role in killing his foster mother, Rita Farr, he began transforming into creatures that do not even exist, products of his subconscious rage against the villainess.

As of late, he has demonstrated the ability to transform into animals many times larger than their actual forms. Among others, he's been seen transforming into a human-sized tarantula and a giant snake.
Whether this is a more advanced progression of his abilities or a new ability altogether is unknown. Like his Kingdom Come incarnation, he also recently gained the ability to transform into mythological creatures, namely a phoenix and a chimera.
Recently he has also shown the ability to partially transform into an animal, such as acquiring octopus tentacles on the lower half of his body, while his upper-torso remains unchanged.
Den här senaste omvandlingen kan indikera att hans makt kan ha mer än en genetisk aspekt för dem och kanske i återuppbyggnaden av DC universum, kanske vi får en mer fullständig förståelse för hur hans makt fungerar.
Sammanfattningsvis: Jag skulle misstänka att han kanske fysiskt skulle kunna kompisera, men med tanke på den genetiska variationen i hans DNA och dess könsförmåga skulle han förmodligen inte producera livskraftiga avkommor.
