Yera Allon, also known as Chameleon Girl, is a fictional character, a superheroine and Legion of Super-Heroes member in the DC Universe's 30th and 31st centuries.
In the original continuity prior to , veteran Legionnaire Colossal Boy (Gim Allon) was finally able to act upon his unrequited feelings for his teammate Shrinking Violet when the two became a romantic couple and married, to the surprise of the other Legionnaires.[1]
Allon later discovers that Violet is Yera Allon, a Durlan who impersonated her after she was kidnapped by other Imskians.[2] She is eventually exposed as an imposter, but chooses to remain with Allon.[3] [4]
The events of Infinite Crisis restored a close analogue of the pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths Legion to continuity, with Yera joining the Legion as Chameleon Girl.[5] However, because the events following the "Five Year Gap" have not been reincorporated into current continuity, Chameleon Girl and Shrinking Violet remain at odds with one another.
In Legion Lost, Yera is stranded on 21st century Earth (along with teammates Wildfire, Dawnstar, Timber Wolf, Tyroc, Tellus, and Gates) on a mission to save the future.[6] Additionally, they discover that they must remain in that time period, after learning that they may have contracted a pathogen that could destroy the 31st century if they return.
In "The New Golden Age", Chameleon Girl is among the Legion of Super-Heroes members who arrive in the present and confront the Justice Society of America over their decision to recruit Legionnaire, a younger version of Mordru who wants to avoid becoming evil.[7]
As a Durlan, Yera Allon can shapeshift.
