Legion Lore
Bouncing Boy
Chuck Taine, the second Legionnaire in a row to be born on Earth, He was delivering bottled super plastic formula for his boss when he decided to visit a sporting event and purchased a bottled soft drink. He accidentally drank the super plastic formula instead. This gave him the ability to inflate himself like a giant ball and bounce around.
He applied for Legion membership but was rejected. But then he defeated a robber who was using an electric device which didn't affect him cause he wasn't touching the ground. The Legion admitted him afterwards. He designated himself the Legion Morale Officer and with his wit and humor, it was a good fit.
Bouncing Boy lost his powers at least twice due to various reasons, but regained them later. He dated Triplicate Girl for some time, and during one of the power losses, she had one of her bodies killed by Computo. With their shared losses, he decided to propose, she accepted and they were the first Legionnaires to marry.
The Legion Constitution forbid married members, so the resigned. They took up teaching at the Legion Academy, and did so for many years. After the Legion Constitution was amended to allow married members, they decided to become Reserve members so they could continue at the Academy, and did so even beyond the disbandment of the team after the Magic Wars.
