History:
Reep Daggle left the quarantined planet Durla in the latter half of the 30th Century to combat pervasive galactic prejudice against his species of shape-changers. Reep joined the Legion of Super-Heroes as an early member, and Colossal Boy coined the name Chameleon Boy for him after Earth's color-changing lizard.

Unknown to Reep, his father, whom he believed long dead, was actually living in the guise of a human, calling himself Rene Jacques Brande. Brande had funded the Legion's early activities, but it wasn't until a medical emergency years later that his relationship to Reep was revealed to his son.

Chameleon Boy serves as permanent head of the Legion Espionage Squad, and is known as one of the better detectives on the team

Powers:
Reep Daggle has the native Durlan ability to analyze unfamiliar objects with radiation generated by his antennae, and to then transform himself into a duplicate of that object – be it animal, vegetable, or mineral. The limits of his power are uncertain, as he cannot become truly intangible or invisible, for example, and would not gain the physical strength of Mon-El if he were to assume that disguise.

As a Legionnaire, he has excelled at personal combat training and wears the Legion flight ring, which gives him the power to fly.
