You think i want to kill? You think this is my choice? The small one. He gets in my brain. I can't stop him. And he wants your blood, Earth man.

— Teel

Teel is the reluctant assassin and member of the Cabal.

History

Teel was a Durlan who at some point was captured by Doctor Psycho and forced to become an assassin for the Cabal.

He killed an old friend of Plastic Man while wearing his face to frame him and then was sent to kill Obscura when her investigation brought her too near to the Cabal. He fought Plastic Man and told him of his situation and in the end appeared victorious. He recovered Doctor Psycho and was beamed back to the Cabal base but Psycho, thinking that he was actually Plastic Man, had him tortured just for the hero to appear from Cizko's hear and force the Cabal to a deal that assured the safety of his loved ones.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

• Durlan Physiology: Durlans can shape-shift at any time for any length of time with little limitation on size or shape due to their near total control over their Molecular Biology. As such their physiology is in constant flux, meaning no need to take a single form. The native chosen form was a giant mass of tentacles hidden under robes. By the 30th Century the Durlans were required by the United Planets to have a default form when off world. This form was an orange humanoid with with large eyes and to antennae on the their heads.
  • Bio-Fission: Durlans can duplicate themselves much the same way the natives of Cargg can.
  • Bio-Fusion: The Durlan race is capable of polymorphically shapechanging in unison in order to create warp drive able space ships out of their conjoined substance.
  • Enhanced Senses: Durlans scan the molecular structure of any object or person they encounters via the invisible emanations emitted from their antennae. Returning as sound waves, the information is translated through their sensitive ears. Their chameleon power, through their antennae, records a person or thing's shape, which always happens when they encounters someone of something unfamiliar. They automatically absorb complete details of its structure so they can duplicate it perfectly whenever they wish. The process can not happen twice with the same person or object. Their sensitive antennae will detect any subtle difference - pore patterns, for instance - that will alert them to the uniqueness of any person or object.
  • Elasticity: Having a malleable form, Durlans can stretch and extend their form despite being in a solid form.
  • Elemental Control: Durlans in their shifted form can generate the functional capacity of most technological appliances. Such as ignition thrust for inter-galactic transport ships or simulating air supply for a deep space breathing apparatus.
  • Shape-Shifting: Durlans possesses the ability to transform their body's size, shape, color and substance to mimic any person, creature or object and it's substance in the universe. A Durlan is able to reconstitute even if they are are reduced to a liquid form.
