John Cheever takes on a new "Adult Legion" story. They have achieved galactic respectability, drink too much and wonder where the excitement went.
Jane Austen fills in for one issue. By the end, everyone is married.

Brainiac 5 in the hands of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle solves all of the Legions problems, whilst investigating addictions first hand and learning the violin. Oh, and making everyone else look like complete morons.
Everybody goes to war, beds nurses, fall in love with nurses, get dumped by the nurses, and go home after the war and do a lot of fishing.

Kafka writes about the new Legion Tryouts, which become an impossibly convoluted process of red tape, beaurocracy, exams and waiting. Oh, and they turn into bugs for no discernable reason...

Dickens would write "The Legion of Super Orphans", in which all the Legionnaires are orphaned. Brainiac 5, Shadow Lass, Princess Projectra, Dream Girl and Sun Boy are involved in quests to receive their inheritances. Element Lad, the Ranzz triplets, Ultra Boy, Phantom Girl, Invisible Kid and Gates live underground, committing crimes for the pickpocket king, Roxxas. Everyone else works in horrible, soul-numbing conditions that display the inequities of a smog-covered, class-riddled future.
Tenzil, Chuck and the Subs get lots of supporting exposure... emphasizing the comic side of their nature(s).
The kindest girl, Ayla, dies. Identical twin cousins, unexpected relations, sudden reversals and surprising connections appear every other page.

Dostoyevsky would write 'Angels in Hell' featuring Legionnaires with hidden addictions, loves that strike like vipers, clinging unto death, tortured souls slogging through misery to still accomplish something that's good-- even if it's a twisted reflection of good.
The 'Angels' would be servants to the state, waging a quiet, slow revolution from within the frameworks of society.

Frank Herbert's Legion. Brainiac 5 and Dream Girl's prescient-mentat child is the Kwizatz Haderach. Triplicate Girl is a series of gholas created in the axotol tanks of the Durlan Face Dancers. Shameless hussy Saturn Girl has "sexually imprinted" half the male Legionnaires.
