Jungle King was turned into gas by a Gas Creature (imagine that!) and considered dead. However, Brainy developed a way to detect his gaseous molecules and made a containment suit for him, similar to Wildfire's.
JK's happy to be back, but a bit annoyed that it took them so long to figure that out.

Plant Lad may have been killed in Nardo's Starlag, but his life essence lived on in The Green! Ultimately he is found by Chlorophyll Kid once Chlor becomes more masterful of his powers, and is reborn as the 31st Swamp Thing.

When Thora of Taltar was defeated and seemingly committed suicide, she actually activated her back-up plan of projecting her mind into one of Duo Damsel's bodies! Unfortunately for her, the body she was on control of was not one of the two regular Lu bodies, and so once Lu lost hr ability to manifest her extra duplicates, Thora could not manifest as a separate body. She was, however, absorbed into Lu, and was able to exert subtle influence over her, including helping her figure out how to regain the ability to manifest a huge number of duplicates, thus allowing Thora to once again have a body under her control!

Kinetix was absorbed by Mordru, who was absorbed by Mysa. But editorial mandate says that the Legion never met Mordru either, so Kinetix was never absorbed and is happily traipsing around the multiverse with her Postboot Legion teammates.
What, too easy? Ok, FINE.
Mordru exerts his magical influence over the Black Witch, who proceeds to expel his awful dark energies so she can become good and join the Legion again. But plucky Kinetix exerts HER influence over Mordru, and frees herself and all the other magicians stuck in his castle walls. Kinetix regains her original figure and powers and sets off to recreate her Earth (and picks up Gates and XS too)!

Generally, when some venerated person dies unexpectedly, the makeshift memorial that springs up at the spot of his or her demise eventually gets town down. But not so with Leeta-87!
So beloved was Leeta-87 by the people of her homeworld, for the way she singlehandedly defeated innumerable super-villians, the spot of her death remained memorialized. As a side note, the high council quickly outlawed the import of banyo-fruit.
But when Substitute Legionnaire Chlorophyll Kid tracks down and engages Radiation Roy following an Interplanetary Bank heist, the conflict creates a surprissing resurrection.
At one point during the fight, Roy, knocked backwards by a super fast growing Jovian Huckleberry bush, crashes into Leeta's memorial. As Roy lays dazed on the exact spot where Leeta cracked her skull, Chlorophyll Kid tries to super-grow weeds up through cracks in the sidewalk to bind the villain in place. But somehow. the combination of Chlorophyll Kid's super cellular growth power and Roy's multi-range radiation, affects the blood that was never scrubbed from the sidewalk as a permanent, if somewhat morbid, tribute the Leeta's downfall.
Instantly, Leeta regenerates and. quickly asessing the situation, puts Roy down, thereby resuming her celebrated heroic career.

When Live Wire defeated the monstrous being that used to be the Element Lad and the Omniphagos, Live Wire's essence was trapped in the crystal. Unbeknownst to him, so were the essences of Element Lad... and Monstress!
These crystals lay dormant for quite some time, but when the UP and the Kwai Galaxy celebrated their new alliance, they held a huge fireworks and lightning display in celebration. These energies interacted with the crystals...
RJ was approached by a dying Durlan who wanted to atone for his misdeeds. RJ agreed and asked the Durlan to impersonate him, as he feared for his life and wanted to continue his work in secret.
Alas, the Durlan could only speak rather poor Interlac, but this was chalked up to a rich man's eccentricity.
To this day, the real RJ Brande is alive and well, carefully gathering heroes to supplement the Legion of Superheroes when the time is right...

Chemical King didn't die. He slowed down the chemical reactions of his body to a deathlike state so that over many years he could verrrrrrrry slowwwwwwwwly and safely metabolize and disperse the radiation he space-absorbed!

Charma's powers didn't actually work differently on women, they worked *better* on women, but the Comics Code Authority wouldn't allow the publication of the scandalous results of her being locked in a woman's prison, so she was declared to have been killed instead.
She's still alive, in prison, and the UP made enough money to build (and rebuild, and rebuild *again*) Takron-Galtos from selling the videos of her incarceration.

The various clone Legionnaires were made using a rare element that was, unknown to the Legionnaires, extra-dimensional in origin, and, as a result, they proved unstable and unable to exist in this reality, vanishing to the home dimension of Element X in a sudden explosion after twenty-four hours, and being presumed dead to witnesses in this dimension.

The Manhunter robot who was known as Laurel Kent had kidnapped the original Laurel Kent and replaced her (snatching her out of the hospital and replacing her after she was shot by a kryptonite bullet). The real Laurel Kent is in a cryo-stasis tube deep beneath Metropolis, in a secret base the Manhunter had established in a bunker established by one of the cities super-villains ten centuries ago.
The Manhunter kept her alive, in case it needed fresh genetic material to fool bio-sensor analysis, or to probe her memories for some detail of her past to further it's long-term infiltration, and, after it's destruction, never came back to that base, which lay undiscovered for years, until discovered by some teen spelunkers, exploring the many layers of the city beneath modern-day Metropolis as part of a college field trip on civic history...
