Mammoth is the alias of Baran Flinders, a fictional character that is a comic book supervillain from DC Comics. The character was created by George Perez and Marv Wolfman. He first appeared in New Teen Titans #3 (January 1981) as one of the founding members of the Fearsome Five, and became enemy of the Teen Titans, Superman, and the Outsiders. He is highly devoted to his sister Selinda (a.k.a. Shimmer), also a founding member of the Fearsome Five. A towering hulk of a man with immense physical strength and durability, Mammoth is intellectually and emotionally underdeveloped, and he lacks skill as a hand-to-hand combatant.

[edit] Teen Titans animated series
In the Teen Titans animated series, Mammoth was a member of the former H.I.V.E. Academy. He is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. Mammoth's personality is not much more than an oversized class bully: big and strong, but not too bright. He works in a group with Jinx and Gizmo.
Mammoth later forms The H.I.V.E. F.I.V.E. with the two above and See-More and Private H.I.V.E. He becomes the H.I.V.E. F.I.V.E.'s muscle (Jinx is the leader, Gizmo is its resident genius, and See-More and Private H.I.V.E. provide defense). He is ordered by the Brotherhood of Evil to take out Cyborg. Instead, he knocks Cyborg into an abyss, only to reemerge inside the Brotherhood's secret hideout with Kole and Gnarrk.
Mammoth returns to the Brotherhood of Evil's secret headquarters in "Titans Together" where five Titans encounter him and three other villains hurrying to watch Robin being flash-freezed. Jericho, disguised as Cinderblock, released Pantha, Más, Beast Boy and Herald, and Mammoth's face is burned by Pantha's claw. During the final battle, he is stunned by Jinx's betrayal long enough for her to cause a massive hex wave that knocks all five of the H.I.V.E. F.I.V.E off their feet. Mammoth is tossed into the flash-freezing machine and is frozen with all of the other villains.
