The Source is the main antagonist of the Teen Titans episode "Employee of the Month". It's an evil alien tofu creature who was responsible for kidnapping Earth's cows. At first, The Source had a robotic voice, but when he revealed himself, he spoke in a high-pitched voice.
The Source was the leader of an alien task force which destroyed planets as it was there way. The Source came to Earth to collect power sources for their technology - which happened to be plain live cows. In order to coordinate its activities, it disguised its mothership as a newly founded fast-food restaurant, Mega Meaty Meat. From there, it sent out collector ships to collect cows from the outlying farms and created an entity from its own substance named Bob, who posed as the restaurant's manager to maintain their cover. After having collected enough cows, the Source intended to use a super weapon called the Destruct-o-tron to destroy the Earth for good measure as well. To complete its disguise, the Source used its own body substance as a "nutritious meat-free" replacement for the scarce-growing meat.
The farm raids soon called the Teen Titans upon the scene, but each time they apprehended a collector vessel, it managed to give them the slip. At the same time, Beast Boy desired to improve his mobility by getting himself his dream vehicle: a moped. He tried his hands at various jobs, but the only offer still left for him was working at the Meaty Meat restaurant - a horror for a sworn vegan. Nevertheless, Beast Boy was quickly swayed when Bob offered him a special price: his very own dream moped, to be granted to the employee of the month.
Finally, Beast Boy discovered the restaurant's secret and learned of the Source's existence. In order to stop its plans, he kidnapped the Source and started interrogating it; while the Source would initially not reveal information on its own volition, Beast Boy managed to persuade it by threatening to eat it for lunch. Subsequently, Beast Boy single-handedly succeeded in thwarting the alien scheme, but his efforts were somewhat nullified when his over-stressed new Moped collapsed into a scrap pile and the Source was inadvertently consumed by a hungry Cyborg.
Later, after The Source's re-incarcerated in Cyborg, he was released at the other end. The Brotherhood of Evil found him, healed him and allowed him to join the ranks of the Brotherhood along with his minions of Bobs. The Source and one of the Bobs made a cameo appearance among the recruits for the Brotherhood of Evil in "Homecoming - Part 2". The Source wasn't seen participating in the final battle, but was seen as one of the flash-frozen enemies.
The Source was also seen joining the Brotherhood of Evil, but didn't actually fight with them.
Personality[]
The Source frequently adopts the persona of an insane, arrogant extraterrestrial invader who pilots a squad of UFOs through the countryside in pursuit of cows. It produced a legion of human-like Bobs that were pledged to carry out the cunning Newfu scheme while also making meatless burgers for "Mega Meaty Meat." The Source was confident his plan would succeed, but he did not anticipate Beast Boy would discover it and thwart it. The Source's primary flaw and downfall is that it might be mistaken for a huge block of delectable tofu.
Powers and abilities[]
Contrary to its boasting, the Source had just one important power: the capacity to generate an almost infinite quantity of Newfu that could then be used to construct an infinite number of Bobs. Its powers were extremely constrained except from that.
Trivia[]
The Source's vocabulary and personality are similar to that of Zim from Invader Zim. Surprisingly, Richard Horvitz himself was almost considered to voice The Source, but was turned down at the audition due to the producers believing that if he were hired for the part, it would cause a situation where the viewers would immediately recognize the character's voice and personality upon hearing it, so Rob Paulsen was cast instead.
