Biography

Chuck Taine was an architectural student, paid for by the life insurance money paid after his parents were torn apart by one of the White Triangle Daxamites who attacked Earth before being banished by the efforts of Brainiac 5, R.J. Brande and Jan Arrah.

He was then hired as an intern to help repair the Legion's headquarters after Chronos caused much of one wing to rust itself to the point of collapse, and found a Legion itself on the point of collapse.

Despite only being seconded to the team for a short time, his stay kept being extended - firstly, by the many disruptions to the building repairs, then by Brainiac 5's propensity for blowing up labs. Eventually, he was just given a permanent position, and helped to reconstruct a standard UP outpost into the Legion Outpost.

He was present at the Great Rift Disaster, trying to pilot the second, temporary Legion Outpost, but was not one of those lost to the Rift. Instead, he was one of those recruited to a "shadow" Legion team by R.J. Brande after the offical disbandment, along with Cosmic Boy, Gear, Invisible Kid, Sensor, Triad and Violet, to help build Legion World and prepare to refound the team properly. He also constructed a personal ship, the Bouncing Boy, which - as the name suggests - could bounce without damaging itself. He became one of the field team, the Subterfuge Squad, and helped to steal a Footstep Drive ship on Braal.

When the team officially reformed after the return of the Lost Legionnaires, he thus became an official member for the first time - the only member to have no superhuman powers in the team's history.

Powers and abilities

Chuck has no superhuman powers.

However, he is an excellent architect/engineer, judge of angles and pilot of the Bouncing Boy.
