Who is R.J. Brande?

History Original Continuity Originally a Durlan (shape shifting alien) name Ren Daggle, Brande was frozen in human form by the deadly Yorggian fever. Later it was revealed that he is Chameleon Boy' s biological father. After the Crisis on Infinite Earths limited series abolished the DC multiverse for a time, he was retconned into a 20th century Durlan (and founding member of the intergalactic police force L.E.G.I.O.N .) who had been brought forward in time to the 30th century. He is the major financier for the Legion of Super-Heroes , and founded the group with Cosmic Boy , Saturn Girl , and Lightning Lad after they saved his life on a trip to Earth . After being frozen in a human form, he amassed a vast fortune by making stars, using advanced technology to create suns for clients. He became one of the richest men in the galaxy, and bought a private planetoid where he built his mansion. Reboot In the post- Zero Hour Legion reboot continuity, Brande played much the same role in the Legion's origins. However he was no longer related to Reep Daggle, nor is he a Durlan.
