Chameleon (comics)
The Chameleon was born a Soviet citizen named Dmitri Smerdyakov (Дмитрий Смердяков). In his youth, he was a servant and half-brother to Sergei Kravinoff and eventually became a minor associate to Gustav Fiers. Although Dmitri and Sergei were friends, Sergei was often abusive to Smerdyakov, leading to a combination of admiration and resentment towards Kravinoff. Eventually, Smerdyakov emigrated to the United States of America. As he had made a talent for himself during his youth, impressing his brother by impersonating friends and neighbors, he assumed an even more impressive disguise: the identity of Chameleon. During his first known criminal outing, he impersonated Spider-Man, though he was exposed and arrested. Shortly afterward, Kraven the Hunter himself came to America, and the Chameleon set his old associate's sights on Spider-Man. Both men became long-time enemies of Spider-Man, part of his primary rogues' gallery.
Camaleón
The wrestler known under the ring name Camaleón has on a few occasions stated that he began his wrestling career in 1999, but never revealed what ring name he worked under from 1999 until 2007 when he began working for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) as Súper Camaleón ("Super Chameleon). The secrecy about former masked identities is not uncommon in Mexico where the private lives of the masked wrestlers is kept secret. Early in his CMLL career he would often form a tag team with a wrestler known as Super Tri and worked in the low ranked matches. His contract with CMLL allowed him to work for a number of other promoters' including Último Dragón's Toryumon promotion since they had a close working relationship with CMLL. On December 14, 2008 he competed in the annual Young Dragons Cup in a "torneo cibernetico", multi-man elimination match that also included Adam Bridle, Miedo, Ministro, Disturbio, Trauma I and Trauma II and was won by Satoshi Kajiwara. Later on he would team with Ministro to face Los Traumas (Trauma I and Trauma II) on subsequent Toryumon shows in Mexico City.
