That is an *insanely* cool re-imagining! I like how you tied your 'Brainy' into pre-existing Legion lore, by making her a Brain Globe of Rambat, and also your choice of making 'Brainy' a girl!
And she sounds so much nicer than Fembrain...

It is hard being the son of two celebrities. Especcially ones who narcissisticly loved the spotlight and even the paparazzi. Lyle Norg longed to be able to just walk in the city without being followed or having people come up to him to tell him how much they loved his parents and how lucky he was to be their son. That is why he was here, treking through the northern Canadian wilderness, despite hating the cold and sleeping on the ground. It was one of the last places on Earth that could be called remote.
While climbing down a ravine, Lyle heard a faint cry for help. After searching the area, Lyle found the source of the cry. It was from a very small man, who was trapped in a hole covered by rocks. It took about 30 minutes to move the rocks away. Lyle helped the man out and gave him some water from his canteen. Hungry himself and figuring that the little man was too, Lyle got out two of his inta-rations. The two of them sat on rocks and ate. Lyle inquired how the man got trapped, but the little man turned the conversation around to what Lyle was doing out here. Not knowing exactly why, Lyle began telling the story of his life, ending with his wish to be unrecognizable.
The little man stood up and said "Well, as you have helped me, I will help you." He rubbed his hands together and then placed them on Lyle's temples. "There you go. You now have a personal SEP field. To turn it on, think 'SEP on'. To turn it off, thing 'SEP off'." Lyle looked at the man quizzically and asked "What is a SEP field?" "I am glad you asked. A SEP field is a Somebody Else's Problem field. It is like invisibility, but better. With invisibility there is always the chance of someone bumping in to you. But with A SEP field, people can see you enough to avoid you, but they don't see you enough to bother you. People tend to ignore anything that is somebody else's problem. Lyle chuckled at what the little man said. "Ah you don't believe me. Well, think 'SEP on'." Lyle did so to humor the little man. "I don't feel any different." Lyke said. "Of course, but it works. And I will prove it." With that the little man waved his arm and Lyle found himself in the middle of Swan Park in Metropolis. There were many people about and they all seemed to ignore Lyle and the man. Then a group of runners in a tight cluster came down the path. Lyle was about to move to the side, but the little man held him on the path. As the runners passed by, the ones that would have run into Lyle moved to the side. When they passed the little man told Lyle that they would not even remember that there was someone standing in the path.
"Wait. you could have gotten out of that hole on your own. Why did you have me rescue you?" "I am from the 5th dimension. An ancestor of mine used to come to your dimension to pull pranks. I like to test people. I reward the good ones and provide karma for the bad ones." Just then a friend of Lyle's passed by, completely ignoring Lyle. Lyle called out to his friend, Garth. Garth stopped and looked around, looking at Lyle twice, but then shrugged his shoulders and started back off. The little man reminded Lyle that he coould turn off the SEP field by thinking "SEP off" Lyle did so and called once again to Garth. This time, Garth saw Lyle and started over.
"Now I am going back to the 5th dimension for a rest. Enjoy your SEP field." Lyle heard the little man say "Kltpzyxm" and he vanished. "Hmmm" thought Lylr "maybe I should join Garth's group."

The New Legion of Substitute Heroes Polar Boy (Brek Bannin of Braal) As all inhabitants of Braal, Brek has magnetic powers. However, his are relatively weak, and poorly controlled. For example, he is always picking stray bits of metal off himself.
Knight Girl (Lydda Jath of Hajor) As a small child, she developed a strong attachment to her favorite toy, Medieval Knight Barbie with ReAluminium Armor. The plastic doll has long since deteriorated, but Lydda has a telekinetic link with the armor, able to animate it or use it as a clairvoyant medium. The armor itself is virtually indestructible, as, even if melted or vaporized, she will immediately (and unconsciously) reconstruct it.
Chlorophyll Kid (Ral Benem of Mardru) As all Mardruans, Ral is a genderless plant-based humanoid. Feeding directly from sunlight, it does not need to eat. In the Spring, its head is covered with flowers. In Summer, the flowers are replaced with fruit—which resemble lavender pears, but taste more like peaches, with a hint of cinnamon. In winter, it becomes lethargic.
Fire Lad (Staq Mavlin of Lokasenna) As all Schwarites, Staq is a being of living fire. He was rejected from the Legion because of his inability to control his power.
Stone Boy (Daq Wentim of Asteroid Colony 1969) Dag is able to stimulate the production in the brain of serotonin, endorphins, and cannabinoids which give a sense of comfort, well-being and ease. Side effects may include giggling, a ravenous appetite, and occasionally, some paranoia.

Cosmic Boy - from the planet Braal, he was born with the powers of magnetism, able to repel and attract metals at will and generate magnetic fields. Once a great planetary athlete, he went on to be a co founder of the Legion of Super Heroes.
During a battle with Mordur, he used his magnetism to form an iron shield around his body, but it wasn't an ordinary shield, he created an iron sheath just centimeters above his skin. it became a second skin of sorts. he used this iron skin to resist Mordur's magical energy blast and spells. But what Cosmic Boy didn't know was that the iron skin was absorbing the magical properties and not deflecting them. It still protected him but the iron skin boded with him.
As Cosmic Boy finally laid some magnetically/magically charged iron fist on to Mordur, he finally ended the battle. but at a cost it seemed. when Cosmic boy tried to remove his iron skin, it wouldn't come off. returning to HQ, he was examined by Brainiac-5 and the Silver Witch. they revealed that the skin was now both magnetically and magically bonded to him. unable to remove it but was still able to eat and breath through the iron, Cosmic Boy was literally living iron. As time went on he learned a new application of this iron skin. he learned that his body was now malleable and he could "fluidize" himself, as if he was liquid iron. As great as this new ability seemed, there was a down side to his transformation. he could no longer touch people. he never could feel the touch of a warm hand, or a hug from a good friend. He had no sensation of touch in this iron skin.
In the early days he was the heart of the team their first leader, he could rally the team together. But as time went on. he began to distance himself and became cold after his transformation. Without touch, he lost apart of himself. He underestimated how much a simple touch made him feel.

Thanks Omni I thought so to, it's kind of like what if Dave Cockrum redesigned Jo's costume.

This one was easy, using the Cockrum Star Boy body and a Cockrum Quasar/Neutron head from the Imperial Guard that I narrowed to size.

Re-envisioning the various Imperial Guardsmen uniforms as actual Legion gear is cool! Plus, Art Adams! Woo! And Dave Cockrum! Double Woo!
Reep would look cool in Hobgoblin's outfit, or Imra in Oracles!
Astra's outfit, on the other hand, would probably not work so well on Tinya...

This is awesome, and I somehow missed it (or missed how *genius* it was) until just now!
I am generally not a fan of abstract concept heroes, but this is a very cool notion.
