History

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 Abilities

Powers

• Durlan 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.
  • Shapeshifting: 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.
    • Enhanced Senses
    • Flight
    • Superhuman Strength
• 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 makeup of the object or human.

Weaknesses

• Power Limitation: Jall is limited to the physical capabilities of the form he takes. For instance, he cannot gain Kryptonian enhanced cells. However, he can fly like a bird and/or sting like a bee.
