The following year, Rita Farr joined the team as Elasti-Girl. She and Mento (Steve Dayton) started a romantic relationship and eventually married. After her godson, Garfield Logan was orphaned by the Light, Farr became his legal guardian and adopted him. As his powers to morph into animals developed, the team helped him hone and control his skills. He eventually took up the mantle of Beast Boy and occasionally supported the team on relatively safe missions.
In 2015, after discovering an extremely dangerous threat, The Chief ordered the Doom Patrol to respond. Knowing the mission would likely be their last, Farr ordered Logan to stay behind while the others engaged the threat. Mento abandoned the fight and went into hiding, while the others perished.
Logan's already strained relationship with Dayton deteriorated further when Dayton reappeared months later, using his marriage to Farr to adopt Logan and turning him into a child star for fame and fortune. Logan resented his new life and his stepfather, eventually founding the Outsiders as a way to emancipate himself from Mento's control and create a new family, hoping to rebuild what he had lost with the Doom Patrol.
