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

If she had been established to have awesome elemental powers back then, and been shown pushing them to their limit to try and hold the earthquakes to a minimum, and fallen into a coma or something because of overexterting herself trying to save Titanians (and perhaps even slowed down the collapse of the moon long enough for a few thousand more people to be evacuated), I'd be suitably impressed with her 'hero cred,' even if I still might not care much for her copycat powerset. (On the other hand, the whole destruction-of-Titan scenario was messed up, with Brainy strolling casually through crowds of dying people, grousing to himself that he might not be able to loot everything he wants in time...)
But we saw nothing heroic from her. She's as much an 'unearned' Legionnaire as Earth-Man and has done nothing to earn membership.
Karate Kid proved it's not all about how awesome your powers are. That was even brought up with Dev-Em, who it was generally agreed, for all his power, wasn't 'Legion material.'
She may have the heart of a hero, but we haven't seen it, so it seems premature for her to be a Legionnaire.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that it's been done before. Also, Blok and Mysa aren't Silver Age, are they? They're not Legionnaires from Adventure, anyway.
And she didn't kill anyone, she just failed to stop those two guys from pushing the button and then didn't seem to have any effect or inclination to try to stop Titan from blowing up. But, she may not have that kind of a power level, either. Stopping a planet from exploding, or even slowing it's destructtion, is cosmic level stuff, isn't it?
I don't really think she should be there, either, but maybe Brainy and the others want to keep her close until they figure out what she's all about.
