Maybe this is a group of Legion applicants who for one reason or another, had great potential but were unable to join the team because of one rule or another.
DUplication of powers rule (although it doesn;t seem to be in effect now), for example.
Wildfire, unhappy with the beauracracy, gets them all together to work "outside" of the Legion, but still connected to them.

Hmm... I'm liking this idea more and more! If it's mostly Academy students maybe he was inspired by the LoSubs II?

There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Totally cool idea. People like Thundra Girl (or Storm Boy) who gain their powers from items would be eligible to join Wildfire's side-group.

Exactly, all thoses silly rules that have kept otherwise viable candidtates from joining, they work "outside" of the Legion, not officially connected to them, and handle things "outside" of the Legion's jurisdiction.
The Legion can't officially endorse them.

You guys are really cooking! I like the ideas here!
Devil-Fish, as a Dave creation, should totally be included too! For at least a mission anyway.

Nightwind and Lamprey are two of my favorite Legion-adjacent characters (with Laurel Kent joining them as well!).
I always thought that Crystal Kid had powers like the Teen Titan Kole or the X-Men 2099 character Krystallin, to create crystal. I was disappointed to find out that he just turned self and others into crystal, like a cheap Golden Boy knock-off...
Power Boy was generally pretty lame, and Shadow Kid didn't add much either. Kinda interesting how the Academy girls were so awesome and the Academy boys were kinda 'meh.'

Wildfire's friend, Lu-Lu Shushfox, goes missing on the uncharted planet of Mark 0.VII-A. The Legion won't intervene because it's outside the United Planets, so Wildfire quits and goes in himself, bringing Powerboy along with him. They get captured and discover Refecto's there as well, trying to get help from a mysterious doctor. The three of them are saved by the other members all there for various improbable reasons.
When all is said and done, they head back to Earth and set up shop as a new team in the Gotham suburbs of New Metropolis.
(C'mon, someone had to say it...)
