Bouncing Boy is a fictional character from the DC Comics Universe. He is a 30th-century super-hero known for being a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Born on Earth as Chuck Taine, Bouncing Boy has the power to inflate like a giant ball and bounce around. This combination of invulnerability and velocity makes him a surprisingly useful combatant. Born on Earth without any powers, he received his abilities by accidentally drinking a super-plastic formula he believed was a soda pop. Chuck is a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes. He has shared a long-term romantic relationship with Triplicate Girl of the planet Cargg, one of his fellow Legionnaires whom he eventually marries. In Reboot Legion continuity, Chuck Taineis the Legion's mechanic. ''Bouncing Boy'' was created by Jerry Siegel and Jim Mooney, first appearing in ''Action Comics'' #276. (1961) ==Fictional Character Biography== Bouncing Boy (Chuck Taine) was born on Earth with no powers. He received his ability to inflate when he accidentally drank a super plastic formula which he thought was soda pop. He first appeared in Action Comics #276 (May 1961). He married fellow Legionnaire Duo Damsel in Superboy #200 and then left active service as a Legionnaire to become a Legion reservist, appearing only sporadically thereafter until Zero Hour. During his period as a reservist, he and Duo Damsel were in charge of training recruits to the Legion's Academy.〔 In the Post-Zero Hour continuity, Chuck was recognized as Charles Foster Taine where he acted as the Legion's resident architect and engineer. He did not possess bouncing powers in this continuity and was only an honorary member of the Legion. As a maintenance man, he once built a specialty vehicle called the "Bouncing Boy" which acted as a bouncing juggernaut, smashing anything in its way.〔 The name Charles Foster Taine is a reference to the classic 1941 feature film, Citizen Kane and its title character, Charles Foster Kane, though in his initial appearance he is simply named Chuck Taine. He has yet to appear in the "Threeboot" version of the Legion, which began in 2004. The Post-Infinite Crisis version of Bouncing Boy appeared in Final Crisis: Legion of 3 Worlds. Missing in action during most of the miniseries, he and his wife, now known as Duplicate Damsel, finally make an appearance in the final issue to help end the battle against the antagonists and then rejoin the Legion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bouncing Boy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
