Reep Daggle, as part of Durlan tradition, was forced to fight his twin, Liggt, to the death. Disgusted by this act, Daggle left Durla and ended up on Earth, hoping to spread his youthful idealism. Instead, he was met with prejudice and suspicion. Rather than give up, Daggle perservered and performed many good deeds and eventually caught the attention of R.J. Brande.

Between the Sun Eater case and the arrival of Imperiex, he joined the Legion of Superheroes as Chameleon Boy and was nicknamed "Cham." Eventually, he discovered that Brande was his birth father. Nonetheless, his shape shifting powers came in handy one many cases. It is believed that the two main Durlan organs, when manifested as antennae, per United Planets approval, can sense the internal structure of an object or person and stores the information in a special memory bank to be recalled anytime later.

Chameleon Boy remained overly optimistic and often objected what he perceived as injustice among the Legion ranks. This was the case when Timber Wolf was immediately branded as a traitor and sentenced to Takron-Galtos. Disguised as Timber Wolf, he and Phantom Girl allowed the real one to escape and prove his innocence. Some time later, he also befriended Karate Kid and tried to help prove the recruit's worth to the Legion. Karate Kid and Chameleon Boy later discovered Grimbor set a trap for the Legion and disobeyed orders to save them. For this, he was temporarily suspended from active duty. During the battle, he used his unique double-jointed features to escape Grimbor's restraint.

After returning to active duty, he elected to undergo a risky implantation to disguise himself as the Persuader and infiltrate Imperiex' ranks. The Durlan mind appeared to be more sensitive than a normal human one and the Legion had to use images of Durla to return Cham to normal.
