It struck me recently that the usual list of Legionnaires you normally see (pre-ZH) is incomplete. It usually misses out the baddies that have infiltrated the Legion such as Command Kid. Can anyone remember who all these villianous legionnaires were.
Of the top of my head I can remember Command Kid, Lightning Lord, Saturn Queen, Cosmic King and those 3 spies (one of then was called Magentic Kid)

Nemesis Kid was certainly villainous but his membership does tend to be recognised in official list.
Was there anyone else? I can think of people that went for the tryout's but can't remember if anyone made it in briefly just to be thrown out. Did people like Dynamo Boy & Storm Boy make it in briefly? I can't remember.

Dynamo Boy was the pirate who infiltrated the Legion and replaced its members with members of the LSV, so, yes, he joined. I always thought this should have been used as the origin of the LSV, with him replacing Legionnaires with young, crooked counterparts rather than the Adult LSV.
Dynamo Kid was the reporter who tried to infiltrate the Legion to get a story after Lightning Lad died. He was found out and rejected.
Storm Boy was also discovered and rejected before joining, though he (or someone using the name)apparently joined during the Five-Year Gap.

"False Pretenses Lad", dubbed by Legion fandom, joined off-panel. He is a nameless infiltrator only seen from behind, being led into prison in shackles by the S.P.s in Adventure Comics #327. He claimed to have joined the Legion under false pretenses to access their mission monitor board. Therefore, must have been a Legionnaire for a brief time.

I've never seen Anti-Lad mentioned in such lists, Amentep. But, if memory serves, he hadn't been fully inducted into the Legion when his deception was discovered. He had only passed the try-out. (Which, admittedly, doesn't explain why the Legionnaires gave him his own name card and shot a picture grid of him at their meeting table -- but without that grid, the story wouldn't work. )

There was also Molecule Master -- I don't think he was made a member either, but he passed the first round of try outs.

That's right. He tried to kill the entire team before he could take the psychological tests.

Hey Nightcrawler, I've enjoyed your stellar work on the Legion for years and just humbly say "Thank you." Also, thanks for popping up on the boards as much as you do. Kudos as well for the comprehensive list, and for sharing your love of Legion lore. Must be be my old age catching up with me; I can place every name except Jan Jor. Who is he/ she?? Care to 'splain?
