Constant
It is said that change is the only constant in the universe, Chameleon Boy 'Cham' is a perfect example of that. He was constantly in motion, 'rarely the same creature twice,' people would say; always smiling, always joking, always changing.
'Maybe if people stopped for ten seconds to look at what I actually do, they would notice a few things.' Cham thought bitterly. 'Like, maybe I don't like always changing. Maybe I want to be constant.'
If anyone bothered to look, they'd notice that Cham always melded back to his original form. Even when he had to change in order to fight he was the same creature. Few people seemed to notice this. One person did, though, one Legionnaire: Timber Wolf. The meta-human knew a few things about changing himself and when they first met (by pure chance), the wolf-man knew that Cham belonged with The Legion.
The Legion was exactly what the constant the young Durlan was looking for. It might change sometimes, but it would always be The Legion of Super Heroes. Timber Wolf understood Cham's need for a constant, so he offered the changeling a job.
It was perfect.
Cham had never felt better in his life, he knew what he was now: he was a hero. He could change as much as he wanted and that fact would still be true. It was difficult at first, sure, some claimed that the only way he got in was through his father, but he proved himself quickly enough, and always had Timber Wolf's (and -with one comes the other- also Phantom Girl's) help.
The Legion gave him just what he was looking for, what he needed, that one constant. No one could change the fact that he was a hero, and it would be that way for the rest of eternity. That, he knew, would never change.
