HistoryEdit

Jall Tannuz aka Chameleon Chief can change his shape and also change the shape of things he touches. He is a member of the Legion of Super-Villains and has battled the Legion of Superheroes on numerous times. He has in the past claimed that he was not a Durlan but over time this has proven to be false.

Powers and AbilitiesEdit

Powers

• Molecular Reconstruction: Unlike Chameleon Boy, Jall is not only able to change his own shape at will, but the shape of other objects too. Jall can break down and reapply subatomic particles as well as break up the molecular structure of elements and rearrange them. To do this the element must know the exact elemental make-up of the object or human.

• Alien Physiology: Jall is a Durlan, a race of alien beings that can shape-shift at any time for any length of time with little limitation on size or shape. As such her physiology is in constant flux and he hardly takes his original orange Durlan form.

• Shape-Shifting: Like all Durlans, Jall possesses the ability to transform his body's size, shape and color to mimic any person, creature or object in the universe.
• Elasticity: Having a malleable form, Reep can stretch and extend his form despite being in a solid form.
• Enhanced Senses: Durlans can scan objects and/or living forms and store their shape into their brains. Scanning with their antenna takes only a few moments and the Durlan can take that form at any time.

Abilities

• Mimicry

Weaknesses

• Power Duplication Limitation: Jall is limited to the physical capabilities of the form he takes. For instance, he cannot gain a Kryptonian's enhanced cells nor can he split himself like Triplicate Girl. However, he can fly like a bird and/or sting like a bee.
