Once a normal boy, Garfield fell ill and was hospitalized in a field hospital in the Congo. The scientist known as the Chief gave him an antidote, giving him the power to "unzip" his DNA and rearrange it allowing him to become a tiger. He later joined him and other patients of the Chief at the Doom Manor.[2]

Connection to the Red: As a young boy, Gar Logan contracted with a rare illness on Congo and was cured by a serum by Niles Caulder. This serum had the unintended effect of turning his skin (briefly) and hair green, but gave him the ability to change into any animal form. Like Buddy Baker and Mari McCabe, Gar has a unique connection with The Red; one of the natural forces of the universe.[2][4]
Gar can turn into green colored animals such as a tiger, snake, a bat, a octopus, a gorilla, a velociraptor, an armadillo, a virus and a gorilla.[2][5][6][7][4]
Animal Mimicry: Gar has the power to mimic the abilities of any animal he knows of while he is in their form.
Power Instability: When Gar transforms into animals he has the likelihood of losing control of his humanity, becoming more like the animal he transforms into.
