a Teen Titans question

[ratcreature]

Uhm, I feel kind of dorky asking this, but how does Gar's costume work? If it was green I'd just assume that it is not clothes at all but part of him changing forms, but as it is it looks like he wears clothes when he's in human form, nothing when he's an animal, and the clothes just conveniently reappear. Of course I'm aware that he has to have a costume for extra-textual reasons, just like Hulk has to keep his silly ripped shorts, because they don't let superheroes frolic around naked in mainstream titles, but is there any explanation within the fictional reality?

Not as far as I know, unless the DCU has an equivalent for "unstable molecules." It's just part of the general physics muddle that surrounds Gar--his sudden increases and decreases in mass, his ability to talk in animal shapes, his frankly silly origin. I love him, don't get me wrong, but nobody's ever attempted to make his powers make sense.
