That team of all-gay superheroes who tried to convert Superboy!
That Storm Boy sure was cute...
Hey! In the 2995 Sourcebook, it is revealed that Storm Boy joined the Legion during the 5-Year Gap.
Since the other Storm Boy that was introduced in the early ADV. run didn't have actual powers, I must conclude that Super-Companion Storm Boy was the one who joined.

They were a group of super-homosexuals of space.
They appeared in ADVENTURE COMICS # 371, their only appearance.
The membership included:
The above-mentioned STORMBOY, who had the power to create rainstorms.
LIQUIDMAN, who had the sensing-shattering ability to turn into-- a puddle! Really!
TREE-MAN, whose bark was worse than his bite!
SHADOWMAN, a sissy-boy version of Phantom Girl.
TELEPATHY MAN, but, ummm... I can't remember what his powers were... *duh!*
Anyhoo, this gay space-sugar daddy with a giant bald head (from a world of folks with giant bald heads, apparently) decides he wants a super-sex harem so he forces these heroes from differnet worlds to join him. They even get Superboy to leave the Legion and join 'cause he was going through a brief bi-curious stage (Ultra Boy: "Superboy... have you gone space-happy?").
Eventually, the homo-heroes concoct a plan to escape the bald sugar-daddy dude, and Superboy, his curiosity satiated for the nonce, leaves the team.
Gay stuff in the story:
Page 1: chicken-meat STORMBOY is engaged in a rather passionate embrace with the decidedly older LIQUIDMAN.
Page 4: the above-referenced Ultra Boy quote referring to Superboy's decision to tiptoe through the tulips.
Page 6: In an attempt to create pathos, it is revealed that STORMBOY can be killed by a rainbow (forever banishing him from Pride Festivals galaxy-wide)
Page 12: "Look! Telepathy Man created wepons that shoot terrible balls of fire!"
Plus more stuff, but I don't wanna spoil the WHOLE thing...!

I think Tree Man was the gayest of the Super-Companions, with his power to grow extra limbs!

Stormboy, spoken like a true queen in a jealous rage: "The power of being ruler has given Superboy a swelled head!"
Superboy dons a nelly space-tiara for half of the story.
Superboy, explaining his bi-curiosity: "Smallville... is a nice place! The only thing that bothered me was an iquisitive girl, Lana Lang, who suspected my secret."

Hmmm... it occurs to me that the Super-Companions would be a swell place for the reboot Anti-Lad, the bald, butt-crack headed man-hating lesbian. But who would HER companion be...?

Hmm... there must be a way to de-lamify the Super-Companions, while keeping all of their super-gayness intact...
