Reep Daggle

Reep Daggle, also known as Chameleon Boy and Chameleon, is a superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, primarily as a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes in the 30th and 31st centuries.

Reep Daggle as Chameleon Boy has appeared in various media outside comics, primarily those featuring the Legion of Super-Heroes. He is voiced by Alexander Polinsky in Legion of Super Heroes (2006) and Dee Bradley Baker in Young Justice.

Chameleon Boy first appeared in Action Comics #267 (August 1960) and was created by Jerry Siegel and Jim Mooney.

Reep Daggle is from the planet Durla, whose inhabitants, the Durlans, developed shapeshifting abilities to adapt to an environment destroyed by nuclear war. He has orange skin, pointed ears and antennae, and has no hair in his usual humanoid form. He is the son of Legion financier R. J. Brande, who was trapped in the form of a human after contracting Yorggian fever. However, Reep does not learn that Brande is his father for many years due to him and his twin brother Liggt being raised by their aunt Ji. Due to being twins, Reep and Liggt are forced to fight to the death, with Reep winning and killing Liggt.

As Durlans are viewed with suspicion by other species, Reep applies for membership in the Legion to set an positive example. His powers and deductive reasoning make him skilled in espionage, with him becoming the leader of the Legion's Espionage Squad. Reep acquires a protoplasmic alien named Proty, who also possesses shapeshifting abilities and becomes a beloved Legion mascot.

Post-Zero Hour, Reep is known simply as 'Chameleon' and is unrelated to R. J. Brande. He is the son of Durla's spiritual leader and heir to the title, though he refuses to accept the role, believing that he serves his people better as part of the Legion.

In the Threeboot continuity, Reep is still referred to as Chameleon, but is now an androgynous humanoid who lacks antennae.

In Infinite Crisis, Chameleon Boy is included in the Legion, but is considered "missing". In the series Superman, it is revealed that that he has been posing as a member of the Science Police. In Adventure Comics (vol. 2), it is revealed that Chameleon Boy is part of a secret team sent to the 21st century by R. J. Brande to save the future.
