I think he should be a master of disguise like in the movie The Saint, a master of espionage and theft. Nothing super natural, just realistic wigs, great vocal control, etc.
Ironically that's what 616 Chameleon was for the longest time, just a normal guy with a talent for disguise. It wasn't until later that he got a power upgrade that let him be shape shifter.
I heard a while back that Bendis was thinking about how to intro. the Chameleon. Guess he hasn't figured how yet, or he could of just given up on the idea.
If he we're to show up... I think he should look kinda like that guy from Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort.
Good idea that is a cool look. The face mask is kinda his trade mark, for obvious reasons he never had a set costume, though he tended to be well dressed, wearing smoking jackets and business suits often.
I don't see why see why he is hard to adapt. Okay he is pretty different from most other spidey villains, but that's what makes him interesting. He doesn't want to engage Spidey in a fist fight, because he knows he would lose, there is no way he can win. Instead he relies on cunning, mind games and misdirection to trip Spidey up. Spidey could beat him if he could find him, the problem is finding him. He can't a pose a direct threat to Spidey, but he can pose an indirect threat. He is not the kinda of villain you fight with your fists, you have to beat him a battle of wits instead. I mean surely Bendis can handle a purely cerebral villain now and again.
The whole point of the Public Scrutiny arc was that this guy was no one, and he still managed to damage spider-man and Peter Parker (Since Captain Stacy died). He was not the Ultimate Chameleon or the Ultimate anyone.
Okay, just wanted to make sure.
Can't say anything on the face mask, but it's true Spider-man's enemies (except for maybe the Kingpin) don't use too much of their intelligence. Also, when I wikied the Chameleon it appears he showed up on the Spider-man and his amazing friends show, and since that's the arc we're doing right now...
Well, if Magneto only wastes an issue we could see his debut..
I doubt it, he was in like one episode and so was Magneto. I think Magneto is the villain for the entire arc, adding Chameleon would just make the whole thing too crowded. Plus I don't think Chameleon is stupid enough to mess with both the X-Men and Spidey at the same time.
The odds are still high his entire appearance is a three panel bank scene though.
That would be sad, typical, but sad.
