Or�- “The Real World’s Greatest Detective Ain’t Some Spoiled Rich Kid From Gotham…”

Today’s entrant marks a real watershed in the history of the Legion of Super-Heroes.  Before Tellus, before Blok, even before the pseudo-alien blue skin of Shadow Lass, came today’s subject.� The first really alien alien on the Legion roster, (even though Brainiac 5 preceded him, Querl is really just a blonde white kid colored oddly) he comes from a mystical, secretive, and widely-reviled race of shape-shifters.  In a universe that fears and loathes his people, he acts as an ambassador, proving that perceptions, predispositions, and prejudices aren’t always true.  But then, when he’s around, most things aren’t exactly what they seem.  His keen eyes (and scanning antennae) never miss a trick, and his mind is as sharp as the tips of his ears.  One part Spock, one part Phillip Marlowe, with a healthy dose of Robin Goodfellow, he’s one of the stalwarts of all incarnations of the Legion to date, and one of the most recognizable characters in their 50 year history.  This, then, is your Major Spoilers Hero History of Reep Daggle of Durla…  Chameleon Boy!
