Changes: Yera Allon (Pre-Zero Hour)

The reasoning behind this law was that their natural shape-changing abilities would provide an unfair advantage over actors of other races. Yera could only find small jobs, nothing to show her true acting talents. This led to her landing only minor parts in less than favorable Holo-vids.

After one of these Jobs she was approached by Imskian radicals led by Micro Lad who had planned to kidnap Shrinking Violet of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Micro Lad told her that they wanted her to replace Shrinking Violet as she was on a top secret mission that even the Legionnaires could not know about.

Yera was excited to have a job and the opportunities it would lead to. The switch was made while the real Violet was on vacation on the asteroid home of billionaire R. J. Brande.

Yera impersonated Salu for many months, but Element Lad, who at the time was the Legion's appointed deputy leader, and Science Police liaison Shvaughn Erin became suspicious of the fake Shrinking Violet when Yera fell in love with Colossal Boy, who had an unrequited crush on the real Shrinking Violet for years. After a brief romance the pair secretly married. The Durlan's charade was exposed and Shrinking Violet was rescued from the Imskian radicals by the team. Despite her deception, Colossal Boy realized it was indeed Yera he had fallen in love with and the two remained married. Yera was ultimately accepted by the Legion, including Shrinking Violet who, while still upset, said she chose to believe Yera's story.

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.^[1]
- 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.^[2]^[3]
- 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.^[4]
- 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.^[3]
- 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.^[5] A Durlan is able to reconstitute even if they are are reduced to a liquid form.

Abilities

Acting: Yera is a skilled actor and impersonator

Weaknesses

Power Limitation: While Chameleon Girl can assume a giant size, and a certain degree of strength along with it, if she were to imitate Supergirl she would not gain Kryptonian super-powers. Also, while she can copy a creature's shape, she can not duplicate its powers. She can sometimes copy such abilities to a limited extent. For instance, as a spider she can spin a web, and as a bird and can fly, however, he does not have the ability to lay eggs.
