Destro #1-4 – Written by Dan Watters; Art By Andrei Bresson

In previous continuities , Chameleon was the half - sister of Baroness , who get under one’s skin plastic surgery to front just like her sibling and personate her in the ranks of Cobra .

In addition to the enemies named on Destro ’s “ kill listing , ” another fiber is blacked out on the master concealment by Andrei Bressan and Adriano Lucas . Judging from the silhouette , it seems to be a distaff character with long hair . G.I. Joefans might immediately opine this isDestro ’s long - sentence lover Baroness , but that character has already appeared in the Energon Universe – with short hair , and as a fellow member of the G.I. Joe squad . It ’s also potential that this could be Chameleon without her mask on , which conjure up a number of interesting question in reviewer ' minds .

In old continuities , Chameleon was the half - sister of Baroness , who get plastic surgery to appear just like her sibling and impersonate her in the rank and file of Cobra . Given that possibility , it will be very interesting to get word if the Energon Universe Chameleon has a similar backstory . Of course , the blacked out character could be an entirely new take on another franchise character . The Energon Universe begin with the shocking debut ofJetfire inVoid Rivals#1 , and Skybound has been smart about make each further character reveal feel like an event .
