Tellus and Quislet-- both of whom were effectively dependent on life-support systems-- should never have been admitted. A crack in Tellus' helmet would have killed him and when Quis' ship was destroyed bythe Emerald Empress, he was never seen again.
Arguements have been made in the past that Mon-El shouldn't have been admitted due to his dependence on anti-lead serum, but I don't agree.
I like to think the rules were modified sometime in the early Baxter era, allowing Quis and Tellus to join (as well as Polar Boy, who pretty much bypassed the entire try-out and said he was now a member).

"So when you split into three, do each of you have a different super-power or the same one? Splitting into three is the super-power. Okay then here is one.. er... three of our flight belts as a consolation prize."

The ability to blind everyone of us during a crucial encounter seems, uh, counter-productive, miss, er, Shadow Lass. Good luck and don't let the space-door hit you in the space-caboose on the way out.
I'm sorry Sun Boy, we try to avoid property damage and injuring civilians during our superheroing, and the ability to fling fire around seems to lack any sort of safe or beneficial applications. But here's a year's supply of Banyo-a-Roni, the Sorcerer's World treat!
Super-Karate? You've got to be kidding, right? Can you do super-cooking, or super-cleaning? We're looking for a new maid...
Ferro Lad, you can, um, turn to iron, and your 'kinda tough?' Excellent. As an interesting coincidence, I'm called the Boy of Steel, which is actually a misnomer, since I'm about a billion times more invulnerable that steel (or, yanno, iron, steel's wimpy cousin), and I can fly at the speed of light, and I can knock the moon out of orbit, and I can blow out a hurricane with my breath and blast starfreigters out of the sky with my laser beam eyes. So, in case you're not getting me, you're pathetic. Get lost. Come back when you can turn into something useful, like a fire hydrant, 'cause Krypto's giving me that look again...

"Blok, we're so sorry. We already have several members who are super-strong and invulnerable and none of them require three flight rings."

"We're sorry, Chemical King. It will be decades before we'll have writers that will know what to do with you. Since you're already predestined to be dead meat, we don't want your death on our consciences. We're fresh out of flight belt consolation prizes, so here's a nice canned ham."

"Sorry, superboy/supergirl, but since you've both been dead for roughly 950 years, neither of you are eligible for membership. We just wanted to meet you and sign autographs, which we will sell to fund our little club."

"We're sorry, Miss Cullen, but, while your ability to do basically anything that pops into the head of the writers while reading 20th century popular physics books is certainly impressive, we've long since superceded the primitive science of that era..."

Also, chronologically, you are over the age limit.
