Chameleon Boy is imprisoned on Takron-Galtos for his espionage activities against the Khunds, but released after his heroics in The Great Darkness Saga.

Post-Zero Hour, Reep is known simply as 'Chameleon' and is unrelated to R. J. Brande. He is the son of Durla's spiritual leader and heir to the title, though he refuses to accept the role, believing that he serves his people better as part of the Legion.Legionnaires #0 (October 1994)

In the 2005 reboot of the Legion, Reep is still referred to as Chameleon, but is now an androgynous humanoid who lacks antennae.

In Infinite Crisis, Chameleon Boy is included in the Legion, but is considered "missing"; Superman #696 reveals that he has been posing as a member of the Science Police.Superman #696 (March 2010) As revealed in Adventure Comics vol. 2 #8, Chameleon Boy is part of a secret team who R. J. Brande sent to the 21st century to save the future.

In Doomsday Clock, Doctor Manhattan erases Chameleon Boy and the Legion from existence before eventually restoring them.Doomsday Clock #12 (December 2019)

As a Durlan, Chameleon Boy possesses innate shapeshifting abilities and the ability to transform into forms both larger and smaller than he is, creating or disregarding mass. He can additionally elongate his body and rearrange his internal anatomy without entirely transforming.

As a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Chameleon Boy is provided a Legion Flight Ring, which allows him to fly and protects him from the vacuum of space and other dangerous environments.
