Wildebeest is one of the many honorary Titans from the show Teen Titans and comics. His power is super strength and the power of a wildebeest (hence his name).
He was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who also voiced Soto, Cinderblock, Gnarkk, Plasmus and Silkie in the same franchise.
Teen Titans[]
Wildebeest's origin remains unknown, and until his rather unwilling participation in the Tournament of Heroes run by the Master of Games, he made no appearances. In this tournament he met the Teen Titans Robin, Beast Boy and Cyborg, independent superheroes Aqualad, Hot Spot and Speedy, and the diminutive villain Gizmo, who had likewise been drafted. He was assigned to fight Beast Boy, and won chiefly because his opponent committed a serious blunder. The next day, with Cyborg having been removed from the competition by the Master himself, he got involved in a three-way match with Robin and Speedy. His two opponents teamed up against him and brought him down, and Wildebeest was sucked into the Master's ruby pendant so that the latter would be able to use his powers for his own. However, in the end Robin defeated the Master, freeing all other contestants. Just before they returned home, Robin presented most of their fellow contestants with a Titans Communicator, making them honorary members.
Later, Wildebeest was pursued by Madame Rouge, who was after his communicator on orders of the Brain. Trapped on a cliff, Wildebeest tried to activate the communications device to call for aid, but was taken out by Rouge before he could do so; however, the communicator fell down the cliff and smashed on the ground. Wildebeest was taken to the base of the Brotherhood of Evil, where he was flash-frozen as a victory trophy, soon to be joined by Hot Spot and much later by other Honorary Titans and Robin. However, when Beast Boy led an attack on the Brotherhood's base, Wildebeest and the other captives were freed by Más y Menos and quickly joined the fight. Finally, Wildebeest teamed up with Hot Spot and Jinx against their common enemy Madame Rouge, where he got his revenge on her. After the fight he joined the other Titans in Titans Tower and later in their attempt to bring Doctor Light to justice once more.
Appearance[]
Wildebeest has the head of a wildebeest and the body of human. He seems to be armored with a silver plate, covering his neck and a bit of his head. He has gray fur, gray eyes, and black hair which is spiked and going down his neck. He also has a stripe of black hair going down his chin resembling a goatee. Wildebeest also seems to wear a shirt, pants with a belt, and shoes.
Personality[]
Wildebeest is a confident and prideful brawler, a demeanor that is prominently displayed during the Tournament of Heroes. This arrogance can sometimes border on a bad attitude, as he is visibly annoyed when people forget that he is not human. Despite his initial cold facade, Wildebeest proves that he deeply cares for his friends. After Starfire is knocked unconscious while defending him, he becomes enraged and later carries her to safety.
Powers and abilities[]
Wildebeest is essentially a brawler with superhuman strength, high durability, and sharp, damage-resistant horns. His skills allowed him to contend with powerful forms of Beast Boy, though he lacked any supernatural abilities and was ultimately defeated by stronger opponents like Robin and Speedy
