Superboy gets my vote - he's so good natured I'd have to kill him
-------------------- "Tempus Fugitive" the final part of the Adventures of Dream Boy series, set in the Three-Boot Universe. Read it only in the Bits o' Legionnaire Business Forum.

My personal favorite crappy Legionnaire is Phantom Girl. She was one of my favorites during the Adventure Era but that changed during the Levitz Era. Tinya became very snooty and acted like she was better than everyone else. She was constantly critizing Timber Wolf and Blok, was whiny when Jo wasn't around. During the re-boot I found her to be even more appalling. Bossy, clingy, holyier-thatn-thou attitude. The new version I'm holding off judgement until we see more of her character. I hate her new origin and didn't like the way she treated Karate Kid in her origin story. I liked her best in the 5YL arc mostly because she was dead.
Thunder gets my 2nd place vote. Non-original and no personality to speak of. Plus, she deserted the Legion when they needed her most.
Not a big fan of Quislet either.

Was Atmos ever a member? I really couldn't stand that armpit-less freak...
(From the same era..thank god Comet Queen never joined...)
But of people I'm SURE were members, my vote goes to MAGNO...what the ^@$^%$# was the point?

Atmos was supposed to have been a member during the 5 year gap, so his membership was undepicted.

I lobbied endlessly for XS to take on the Flash mantle and add another "legacy" character to the Legion's ranks. Especially after meeting up with Jay, Wally, Bart and even Barry. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to take the character into the "big leagues". I swear, so many Legion writers have missed major opportunities to really make the book shine.
However, in keeping with the subject and just to toss out another name for consideration... Brainiac 5 may be the worst Legionnaire ever. How many times did he create something that almost destroyed the Legion? The Universe? Other Legionnaires?
He's always been an interesting character but (dang!) that boy's a menace to society!

I want to stand up for Celeste Rockfish - she was an interesting character before she joined the Legion and I loved that she represented the Green Lantern legacy (even though I would've preferred Rond with the ring instead as the torch bearer). I feel they dropped the ball in terms of not exploring her connection to GL, but that's my only gripe with her.
My vote for the worst is Kid Quantum I - preboot he sucked because he had a confusing (and not very interesting) origin that was a huge retcon, then in the reboot, he was just an annoying character whose external powers didn't even make him qualified to be on the team.

The last series revamp of Wildfire I waited so long for him to come back and when he did I was mad because they screwed his origin up.
