Muscle is a mutated mockingbird who assumed the role of a minor villain in Teen Titans Go!, along with his pal, Flex. For a long time, he was only in his debut episode "Birds", but has since then made a couple of cameos.
Physical Appearance[]
Regular Mockingbird[]
As a regular mockingbird, Muscle is an angelic blue mockingbird with white eyes and a light purple beak. He can only speak in bird language.
First Mutation[]
After Robin poisoned him and Flex with Birdy-Cide, Muscle starts mutating, changing his skin color to fluorescent orange, his torso to very light yellow, his eyes turning yellow, his beak and feet turning purple. He wore a dark magenta jacket with pink coat button and dark magenta sunglasses including black lenses. Also having a magenta mohawk.
Current Mutation[]
After getting poisoned again by the Birdy-Cide launched by Cyborg, Muscle starts mutating into a space bird with a massive brain with his fluorescent orange skin but now has some dark magenta three eyed glasses with black lenses. He wears a black bodysuit with dark purple lines going to his wings and down to his waist with a belt going around and down to his legs. He also wears a magenta antenna on his head.
History[]
When Muscle first appeared, he was nothing more than a regular mockingbird. He, along with his friend Flex, built a nest inside Titans Tower's chimney. Robin ordered them to leave (as they were blocking the chute), but the birds refused, and profoundly mocked him. Robin angrily used birdy-cide to poison the mockingbirds, which caused them to leave.
After they escaped, they both mutated into giant mockingbirds. They instantly gained the friendship of all of the Titans (besides Robin). They moved into the Tower, and for a while they got along. They threatened to hurt Robin numerous times, until he finally moved out of the Tower in disgrace. Once he moved out, the birds became the new leaders, but in turn were very obnoxious, and were starting to annoy the other Titans. The other Titans found Robin, now a lowly individual residing in the chimney, karma surrounding him. They ask Robin for forgiveness though, to which he eagerly gives out. After a speedy assault on Muscle (and Flex), they ordered them to exit.
The birds fought back were temporarily winning against the Titans, until they used the Birdy-cide again. Muscle and Flex mutated into superior beings with giant brains, and told the Titans they no longer wished to fight them. Robin attacked them and kicked them out of the Tower to one-up them anyways, and they flew away, probably forever, but not before leaving an egg.
