History: The origins of the professional criminal and spy known only as the Chameleon are unknown. At some point, he underwent several experimental surgical procedures which implanted a number of devices into his body. Already a skilled actor and disguise artist, the Chameleon hired himself out to whoever could afford his fee.
The Chameleon first came into conflict with the fledgling crimefighter Spider-Man when he attempted to frame the web-slinger for a number of high-profile crimes. Spider-Man managed to clear his name and expose the Chameleon as the real culprit, capturing the latter in the process. The Chameleon was reportedly deported afterwards.
Since then, he has clashed with Iron Man while attempting to steal the plans for Iron Man's battlesuit.
Age: 30.
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 165 lbs.
Eyes: Variable.
Hair: None.
Uniform: None.
Strength Level: The Chameleon possesses the normal human strength of a man his age, height, and build who engages in regular exercise.
Known Superhuman Powers: The Chameleon has undergone cosmetic surgery with experimental cybernetic implants that grant him the ability to alter his facial and body features, including his eye color, the shape of his face, and his skin color. These implants work by injecting his skin and the irises of his eyes with various levels of melanin, and by using bioelectrical impulses to reshape his facial features. He has been known to go from a pale Nordic Caucasian to dark African Negroid in ten seconds.
In addition to this, he possesses an experimental voice modulator that has been surgically connected to his larynx, enabling him to perfectly duplicate any voice he hears.
Other Abilities: The Chameleon is one of the world's foremost spies and disguise artists, and has even convincingly impersonated members of the opposite gender. He often wears wigs as part of his disguises. He is able to don a new disguise in less than a minute under ideal circumstances.

Role-Playing Notes:
The Chameleon is a patient man, as befitting someone working in corporate espionage. He prefers to get in, get the job done, and get out before anyone is the wiser, often posing as someone who works at the place in order to gain access. If things go wrong, he will attempt to run instead of standing and fighting, believing that if combat occurs things have gone incredibly wrong.
