My favorite characterization of Brin was during DnAs run, when he's , altwith his pack and protecting Tinya/Cub. I also liked his 'angst' during the TMK era.
I never think of him as a doofus, either although he's sometimes been portrayed as clueless.
That's more Jo 'the Jocks' stick ~ either real or pretend.
Cham's changed a lot over the years, powerwise, really. And it's usually .

To me, Giselle seemed to be a total knock-off of Timber Wolf's abilities, and probably his soon-to-be replacement in issue #52 or #53. (Not holding breath to ever see that, however...)
As far as duplication of powers in the Legion, there are quite a few, but how large of a Legion could you possible have if everyone's had to be totally distinct from all others? The numerous Kryptonian/Daxamite heroes always bothered me a little (except in the large group battles) because they can easily dominate the remaining members, but otherwise I think a small overlap lends itself to some interesting scenarios (how heroes with similar strengths react in different ways to a situation - Superboy vs Wildfire was classic) and team cohesion.

They just do it to annoy me. [scowl]
And as long as I'm facilitating the descent into free-form griping, I also hate it when she-Durlans are depicted as having hair.

Point taken. But just keep this thread on topic, its my 'beef' that Timber Wolf brings nothing different to the Legion powerwise. I know someone here said to the effect that Brin had 'super-acrobatics,' which sounds cheesy even for me who loves all things Silver Age. With the case of Gazelle, her specific power was conscious metabolic control, meaning she can heighten her physicality and lower it to a death-like state. So she's reasonably distinct powerwise. Just needs a new codename.
