This is a softer, more thoughtful Gar than the animated Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go! versions that inspired him, or even than the main DCU version of the character, but he’s still recognizably the same good-natured jokester fans know and love, if slightly less green than usual. But his newfound popularity isn’t everything, especially when his new abilities turn weirder, and especially with the mysterious Slade Wilson lurking around with an agenda of his own. When he realizes that the supplement his parents have been making him take for most of his life might have something to do with his size, he stops taking it, and suddenly finds himself bigger, stronger, faster, and just generally cooler. Gar Logan is an ordinary high schooler, albeit maybe a little shorter and scrawnier than most boys his age, and desperate to be cool.

Then fireworks go missing, and Lois’s investigative heart makes her double down on her efforts to go viral, causing a strain in her relationship with Kristen. She decides that the annual neighborhood bike race is the perfect backdrop for the challenge. She comes up with a #FriendshipChallenge, even though her bestie Kristen Li isn’t that much into social media, in hopes that will change her views of social networking. Lois Lane and the Friendship Challenge follows a young Lois Lane on the first day of summer break when she’s trying to promote her video channel Lois! Camera! Action!.
