You might have done good, brother, but I AM good.
- —Charlie Chandler
History
Origin
Chuck Chandler, twin brother of Hal Chandler, was a successful, morally upstanding test pilot for the United States Air Force. He was sought after by NASA to pilot an experimental reusable rocket modeled after fighter planes, a mission which he accepted despite his reservations since his brother was involved in designing the craft. Though the flight was successful, it coincided with the test of a new Skrull weapon designed to imprison entire enemy fleets by trapping them in two-dimensional form. Chuck's ship was "disintegrated" in a flash of red light, and all that mysteriously returned to Earth was his flight goggles, with his prescription eyewear tucked within. Hal noticed that the glasses had the image of Chuck at the moment of his "demise" imprinted on them, and put on the glasses, bringing Chuck back in his now red-and-blue flight suit. With curiously enhanced physical capabilities, the brothers, acting as one while in costume as the 3-D Man, set out to eradicate the Skrulls' presence on planet Earth.
Personality
Appearance
Powers and Abilities
Powers:
3-D Physiology: After being exposed to Skrull weaponry, Charles was rendered a two-dimensional being imprisoned in his own eyeglasses. Anyone who wears the glasses is briefly overwritten by the form of Chuck in his flight suit: the wearer becomes a passenger in their own mind, able to advise or comment but not act directly without Chuck's explicit consent. The longer Chuck remains in control of the wearer, the more their voice fades away, at risk of disappearing entirely.
- Three Times Better: Chuck was granted 3x the physical attributes of an ordinary man, including his strength, speed, stamina, durability, reflexes, agility, balance, intelligence, and combat capacity.
- "Third Man" Illusion: Chandler can project a single illusion in human form, which he refers to as the "third man." It tends to resemble his brother, and is only ever seen by the reader as such, but he can control what it is perceived as by others.
- Skrull Sight: Chuck has the ability to see Skrulls in their true form, no matter what they appear as. It is believed, but unknown, that he can see through other shapeshifters' guises, such as Mystique, and even possibly through illusions in general.

Notes
Charles Chandler is the Earth-166 counterpart of Charles Chandler (Earth-616) (also known as the original 3-D Man).
- There was a brief retcon introduced during the time of the Agents of Atlas series wherein Hal was revealed to have died in childhood, meaning Chuck had never been converted into an image, only rendered superhuman. Considering this invalidated his presence being requested by NASA, and was never directly mentioned by future writers, as well as the fact that the 3-D Goggles became a recurring plot point, it can safely be assumed that this is not canon.
