History:
While working as an errand boy for a famous scientist on his native Earth in the latter hald of the 30th Century. Chuck Taine accidentally drank an experimental super-plastic fluid. The fluid altered his body radically, giving him the power to inflate into a spongy, almost rotund shape that could bounce and ricochet without harm.

Chuck sought membership in the newly formed Legion of Super-Heroes, but was passed over until he proved his worth by defeating an electrical villain by using his power to keep from being grounded.

As a Legionnaire, Chuck was self-appointed "morale officer", never taking his powers or himself too seriously, despite the important contributions he made to the team.

Chuck lost and regained his powers three time in his careet, and during one of these powerless intervals he retired from the LSH to marry Lournu Durgo. Both now serve as instructors at the Legion Academy and as reserve members of the Legion.

Powers:
Bouncing Boy's sole powers is the ability to inflate and bounce with amazing agility and resilience. As a Legionnaire, he has done well at personal combat training and wears the Legion flight ring, which allows him to fly.
