POWERS & ABILITIES
(*=Linked)
ROLE-PLAYING NOTES
Chameleon is dedicated to seeking revenge against the entire United States for his earlier defeats. He intends to trigger its economical and political collapse. He was impetuous in his early career, but he has outgrown this. Now he is patient; if a plot fails, he will walk away from it. In his words, "if at first you don't succeed, find the nearest airport."
The Chameleon is a cold-blooded killer. He usually kidnaps people and brutally kills them by dumping them in an acid bath. From listening to them beg for their lives, he alters his pitch to sound exactly alike and takes a face print to make into a mask. This more chilling Chameleon also seeks to fix the lives of his "faces", attempting to rectify the problems of their lives while he poses as them as a part of some warped heroic view of himself.

Exusiai's Notes So, it's kind of like Question lite. His face only changes after his belt makes them change. This is another one of those characters I'd like to see take on Batman or Nightwing or any of the 'street level' heroes of DC.

Computer Belt [Body: 5, Recall: 16]
This serves three functions. A video scanner records a person's overall appearance and feeds that information into a visual synthesizer that interpolates the rest of the person's appearance. Its memory banks can store hundreds of such images. When an image is called up via a code tapped on the belt's keypad, subtle electrical signals trigger changes in the Chameleon's body and pigmentation. A secondary signal alters the appearance of his clothing.
Memory Material Clothing [Body: 2, Chameleon: 10]
Chameleon's clothing is made of a special fabric that can reshape and recolor itself in 2 Phases. The change is triggered by his computer belt.
