Titans: Beast World#4(2024)

Chester Runk is saved by Peacemaker, who kills the Beast-People pursuing him. Tragically, one of them was Chester's own son. Tasked with bringing Chester back to Waller, Peacemaker sedates him to prevent any further complications. Meanwhile, chaos erupts in Ivy Town. In an attempt to restore order, Giganta steps in, growing to her giant form. However, she is quickly infected and turns into an uncontrollable monster, wreaking havoc on the city. Oracle sends out an urgent call for help to protect the city from this disaster. Swamp Thing answers the call, alongside Nightwing, Starfire, Cyborg, and Superman (Jon Kent), who all go to the scene. The heroes divide the tasks to rescue as many civilians as possible. Swamp Thing stabilizes several buildings on the verge of collapse, while Starfire and Jon directly confront the monstrous Giganta. In the heat of battle, Jon takes a hard hit and is sent crashing through a building, which Flash (Wally West) had thankfully evacuated just in time. Despite this, Jon is overcome with sorrow as he witnesses the destruction and the lives already lost. Wally comforts him, urging him to keep fighting, and Jon returns to the battle with renewed resolve. Starfire manages to subdue Giganta, launching her through a boom tube created by Cyborg, sending her into a nearby wasteland. As Giganta falls unconscious, the spores infecting her are drawn toward Jon, but he incinerates them instantly with his powers. The heroes continue their efforts to assist the city's residents. Later, the Titans watch in disbelief as Sergeant Steel publicly accuses Beast Boy of being a monster intent on destroying humanity. Determined to protect Gar, the Titans begin planning a defense. Meanwhile, Waller, in collaboration with Lex Luthor, formulates a sinister plan. Using the Justice League's teleporter, which Luthor has under his control, they intend to exploit Chester Runk's power to generate a black hole. Despite his reluctance, Luthor has little choice but to go along with the plan. Hate creates a diversion by attacking Raven, preventing her from detecting the real threat. Chester is teleported directly inside Beast Boy, and none of the heroes on watch notice the danger. In the ensuing panic, Chester, unable to control his power, activates the black hole within himself, killing both the beast and himself in the process. In the aftermath, Raven and the rest of the heroes mourn the death of Gar, devastated by the loss of their friend and teammate.
