Biography
Reep Daggle was raised by his aunt on Durla, and left the planet to prove his value, and by extension, the value of all Durlans to a distrusting galaxy. He applied for Legion membership and was accepting to the still small team. Fellow teammate Colossal Boy was the one who gave Reep his name, likening his power to the chameleon of Earth.

While imprisoned on Takron-Galtos, he fought and defeated the mad Daxamite youth Ol-Vir, but exposure to his x-ray vision and extended restriction of dampeners of his Durlan abilities, robbed him of his powers. His father came to his aid and the two repaired their relationship and journeyed to Durla where Reep regained his powers.
