Kid Changeling

==Overview==
Garth Grayson, AKA Kid Changeling, is a shape-changing teen hero based in Millenium City.
==History==
Garth Grayson has lived in Millenium City since he was six, and was long in awe of the unusually high level of superhero activity in the area. Therefore it was a dream come true when, the week before his seventeenth birthday, a freak laboratory accident somehow gave him the ability to change forms into that of animals. It took him no time at all to decide what to do with his powers (save people, write wrongs, impress chicks), but a little longer to master the transformation. Luckily over the intervening months he has become a little more proficient at the changes and can now transform into several different animals at will.
While he hasn't been a superhero for long, Kid Changeling likes to think that he's gotten the hang of it quite quickly, having held his own in street fights around Millenium City, and even recently had his first super-hero team-up with Purple Lotus in the Nevada Desert while on a family holiday to Vegas.
==Secret Identity and Personal Life==
Garth hides his superhero alter ego from everyone he knows, with the exception of his pain-in-the-butt little brother Johnny. Unfortunately Johnny happened to find Garth mid-transformation during an early experiment (bursting into the room while Garth was trying to shake off a particularly stubborn gorrilla arm) and ever since has been the sole keeper of Garth's secret. Which is actually surprisingly cool of the little loser, but he does insist on following Garth around and calling himself Garth's sidekick.
Garth's parents, on the other hand, would undoubtedly flip out if they found out, so he does his best to be discrete. This has led to some unfortunate groundings and similar punishments, but every hero has to make some sacrifices.
==Powers==
===Communication with Animals===
Kid Changeling can communicate with animals, a power which he has yet to find much real use for but will undoubtedly be handy at some point. Maybe.
At the moment he just uses it to chat to the birds outside his window when he's grounded, mostly.
===Shapeshifting===
Kid Changeling's primary power is the ability to change forms instantly between his normal form and several animal shapes.
His current roster of creatures is:
*Ant
*Gorilla
*Hawk
*Shark
However, he's currently trying to learn more, as well as to figure out a way around the unfortunate white hue to body parts on each animal so far.
