Uh I remember the Jon-El is the guy who plays Aquaman on Smallville, but I forgot who I used for Galaxy Girl (model?).
Here's Brainiac VI (Brainiac 6), aka Lucent Lad. He's the 'son' of Brainiac 5 and Invisible Kid - when Brainy sustains extensive neural injuries on a mission, Invisible Kid downloads part of Brainy's consciousness along with a disc containing some of his own cognitive intellect into a artificial Coluan form. The result is Brainiac VI.
Along with an intellect marrying the minds of Brainiac 5 and Invisible Kid, Brainiac VI uses technology to render himself and others translucent. His symbol combines the "v" representing Brainiac 5 and the "i" signifying Invisible Kid into "vi" or "6".

In a possibly controversial move, Nura Nal, High Seer of Naltor, enabled herself to become pregneant by the men of her choosing. She foresaw having five children, all with different fathers.
First born, Beren Kallor, son of Thom Kallor. Beren was named after Nura's mentor and predecesser to the High Seer title. Beren looks exactly like his father, but with a lighter shade of blonde hair. He has inherited his father's ability to manipulate gravity, and only has precognative visions when using that power, which aids him tremendously. He uses the codename "Stardreamer," and wears a costume that looks like a combination of his father's first and second Legion costumes. Beren lives on Naltor with his mother, but is in constant contact with his father. There is frequent visitation back and forth. Thom and Nura remain friends. Nura *adores* her oldest boy!
Second born, Kal Dox, son of Querl Dox. Kal was named after Kal-El of Krypton, the legendary Superman. He has been given the title Brainiac 6 and resides on Colu. Kal looks like his father, with pale green skin, but with his mother's platinum hair. As the first Coluan/Naltorian blend recorded, Kal is highly esteemed by both worlds. He is able to not only learn past and present facts, but future ones as well. Kal lives on Colu, and is under near constant observation. He feels most at ease when his father is one of the observers. He loves his mother, but has to struggle to remember that she is not as intelligent as his Coluan handlers. He appreciates the gift he inherited from her, as it elevated his status on Colu. When he visits Naltor, he is given the royal treatment, hence his ambition is to learn to respect that culture more than he might instinctively.
Third born, Mora Morgna, daughter of Dirk Morgna. Mora is a stunning looking girl with long curly strawberry blonde hair with platinum highlights. She is (unsurprisingly) extremely precocious. Mora is able to radiate heat from within her body, but not able to blast it out in a flare like her father. She is able to foresee the actions of sentients near her, but has so far not shown any other more general precognative skills. However, what she can do helps her a lot, because she gets a lot of attention from other sentients, especially boys! She calls herself Flare. Mora is actually a very sweet girl, but always on the lookout for something fun and exciting to do. Her parents lavish unreasonable amounts of affection and material goods upon her. She splits her time between Naltor and Earth.
Fourth born, Londa Londo, daughter of Brin Londo. Londa inherited the perfect combination of her parents' powers. She's able to predict the actions of her adversaries, and is able to physically react, with meta-acrobatic skill. Londa's hair is dark and straight, like her father's, but she has one twirling platinum strand right on the top of her head. Londa rarely sees her father, and longs for time with him. Her mother seems to try to compensate by being a tad overprotective.
Fifth born, Tia Stewart, daughter of Troy Stewart. Tia has not shown any precognative ability, but has shown the "Tyroc" skill of her father's culture on Marzal. However, Nura has insisted that Tia culitvate her skills into more beautiful melodies. Hence, Tia is able to sing out and create amazing affects. She calls herself "Siren." Tia looks exactly like her mother, except she has caramel toned skin and golden brown hair. Her eyes are an amazing amber color. Nura sadly relented to Troy and allowed Tia to live with him full time. Tia loves Marzal so much that she was sad whenever she was on Naltor. However, she loves her mother and sends her holo-recordings of herself singing. Nura now uses those songs to send her to sleep, and her aides note that Nura is able to sleep more deeply and dream more productively with her young daughter's aid.
Nura insists that all of her children are together at least once a sola-month, for at least a weekend. The family dynamics can be quite entertaining in the Naltor house full of large personalities.
Aunt Mysa has emerged as not only a wonderful teacher to these children, in every way, but also more fun than might be expected. This has made Nura eager to see her own neices and nephews!

I don't know if this is in memorium or not, but they certainly should be represented here.
And these two are adorable and perfect without being touched in anyway, other than to present them:

Oh hey, I never finished with the remaining members of the Legion Legacy team!
Astral (Jema Nal of Naltor)
Powers - Hexes and curses that quite often seem to have gravitational effects (causing attacks to fall short, foes to fall over, etc.). Precognition, which usually must be focused through astrological / mystical methods of divination.
History; The daughter of Thom Kallor of Xanthu and Nura Nal of Naltor, Jema Nal followed in the steps of her aunt Mysa, training first on Sorcerer’s World, and later on Orando (when relations with the Sorcerer’s World grew chilly). She returned to Earth in time to see the Legion Headquarters, and her estranged parents, vanish for all time, and then sat cross-legged in the plaza until Brainiac 5 arrived, at which point, she had arranged a medical team to be standing by, as she had foreseen his return.
She aided Brainiac Six and Electrode in gathering together the arriving children of the lost Legionnaires, assisted by her previous friendship with Shen Voxv, and engaging Lamn Mallor in persuasive philosophical arguments about the importance of maintaining their parent’s legacy.
Jema spent years in training on Sorcerer’s World, and some note that her training seems to have taken longer than she has been alive, as if the wizards of that world warped time itself, to force more training into their recruits! On Orando, her training was far more physical, with the Seers of Orando sending her into the wild, to discover the secret magics of wind and herb, of blood and soil, a far cry from the more esoteric dream-like education in the mystic arts she had received under her aunt’s supervision. It was Mysa who came to Naltor when her sister’s child began to exhibit unusual talents, and Nura was persuaded that only on the Sorcerer’s Word could she be trained to unlock these gifts, without bringing harm to herself or those around her, as gravitational forces warped in her presence, and those who upset her found themselves falling to the ground, while items that barred her path were occasionally crushed beneath a seemingly unending force…
True enough, on Sorcerer’s World, and later, on Orando, she learned to refine her gifts, in the practice of magic. She manipulates gravity, like her father, but learned to do so through the mechanism of spells and incantations, only through years of rote and practice developing the ability to manipulate mass with a simple thought. They had to un-teach her how to unconsciously inflict her whims on the world around her, before they could re-teach her how to just as effortlessly bend these colossal forces to her deliberate will.
The study of sorcery has greatly modified her expression of power, such that she is able to create warping fields of gravity around someone, to afflict them over a time, in some cases, over days! She can create different fields that ward away incoming attacks, shielding her, or those she ‘blesses,’ from hostile action! And in the ways of true sorcery, she has learned some rituals to empower herself and others with some basic wards against ill fortune, which her allies don’t really notice, due to their subtlety, but are effective nonetheless.
Jema is a stunningly beautiful young woman, surprisingly young of body, and yet old of soul, and alternately is unnaturally mature and insightful, and at times as whimsical as a dancing wind. She tends to dress in all-concealing robes of grey, with a hood pulled over her magnificent mane of silvery hair, and her sparkling blue eyes similarly concealed in shadows. The robe is cut strangely, in overlapping angles of cloth, and is designed for economy of motion, and the obscuring of action. Within these robes, she can make gestures unseen by others, and yet leap as nimbly as a woman in a skin-tight bodysuit. Underneath her all-concealing robes, she wears an armored bodysuit, an insistence of her Orandan trainers, who drilled into her head that ‘fortune favors the prepared’ and that ‘a blade through the heart silences all spells.’ Indoors, she will let her hood down, and she has been known to weave fantastic stories, and spin men around her little finger, and then leave them hanging, eternally amused by how ‘boys will be boys.’
It is only recently that she has found a ‘boy’ to her liking, an infinitely complex young man whose future is a bewildering swirl of possibilities that alternately captivates and somewhat frightens her. Still, she keeps secrets close and prizes the mysteries in life more than anything else, and so few, if any, of her team-mates have any knowledge of her newest secret.
While Jema is quite aware of the gravitational underpinnings of her abilities, she prefers to dress them up in terms like ‘curses’ and ‘blessings’ and ‘wards,’ as a result of her training. She is particularly fascinated with the concept of the astrological signs and their affects on the living world, as her powers do indeed come from the stars, and she is indeed able to make ‘their will’ manifest upon those who displease her. Unlike her whimsical mother, Jema can be painfully studious, and spends an hour in meditation each day, exploring future possibilities as related to the use of her powers.

Twisted (Jer Allon of Earth)
Powers - size change (growth to 24 ft. high, shrinking to mouse-sized), elasticity (can stretch an arm 100 ft.), regeneration and limited shapeshifting (humanoid forms / disguises only).
History: Jer Allon, son of Gim and Yera Allon, has grown up in a mercurial household, and the development of his hybrid abilities only exacerbated the uncertainty he faces in his life. He’s never been happy with who he is, and, unlike most teens, has the power to do something about it, using his form-changing talents to change his appearance willy-nilly, always looking for that elusive form, that elusive *self* that will make him happy.
He’s been a man, he’s been a woman, he’s masqueraded as celebrities, and he’s lived days in the undercity among those who choose to live quiet forgotten lives out of the sight of society, 'off the grid.' He’s played the part of criminal, and of cop, been a child and an adult, a popular athletic ‘jock’ and a quiet introspective ‘geek.’ But he’s never found the place, the *self,* he wants to be.
His mother encouraged this search for self, recognizing it as a quintessentially Durlan coming-of-age, but Gim and his own parents were less able to deal with this changeling child, coming and going as he pleased, in a bewildering array of forms, genders and species, different not only in appearance, but in demeanor, on a daily basis. The increasing sense of discomfort from his human relations only served to further his alienation, his sense of dissatisfaction with the human life he was trying to find for himself.
And so he left, to wander the wider universe, even attempting to visit his xenophobic not-home-world of Durla (he was turned away and never made planet-fall, which is ultimately to his good fortune, as his people would not have welcomed a half-breed…). Hearing the news of the Legion’s loss, he returned to earth as soon as he could make transport, arriving a full month after Brainiac Six had already established a new Legacy team, to find his parent’s home empty, and his grandparents holding the lease, awaiting the return of their son. Of his mother, he learned that after her husband’s disappearance, she put her affairs in order in less than an hour, and vanished without a trace, as only someone with the skills of an actor, and the talents of a Durlan, could manage.
Having no interest in reuniting with his grandmother, the commandeering Marte Allon, or her fairly unimpressive husband, Jer traveled to Legacy Headquarters, and asked to sign up. At first welcomed, as the son of a Legionnaire, he has made more enemies than friends in his first months, with his disturbing tendency to assume the forms of others, and pretend to be them. He came close to dying at the hands of Shift X, after she walked in on him chatting with Rampage in her form, and after being talked out of incinerating him, she broke up with Rampage, using the excuse that ‘he should have known the difference.’ By that point, he had also managed to offend Brightflame and Shadowblade, for pulling a similar stunt (assuming Shadowblade’s form that time, and, again, being threatened with incineration), that time going so far as to kiss Brightflame (who did ‘know the difference,’ and called him on it). He received a ‘talking-to’ from Brainiac Six, who suggested that if he wanted to explore his potential in this manner, he might want to do so somewhere other than where he lived.
But it was another member of the Legacy team that showed Jer that his goal in life shouldn’t be to limit himself to any one particular life, and with her, he has discovered a person who isn’t impressed by any sort of handsome (or beautiful) guise he wears, but genuinely seems interested in the person that lies beneath all the lies and facades, a person that he himself has yet to discover.

Legion (Matt Taine of Earth)
Powers - Multiplication (up to 25 duplicates)
History - Matt Taine is the oldest child of Chuck Taine and Luornu Durgo, Legionnaires Bouncing Boy and Triad. Raised in the confines of the Legion Academy, by it’s two primary instructors, Matt’s abilities manifested late, and he had taken to training with armor, staff and arm-guards simply to spar with his class-mates. It was during such a practice session that he was clobbered by a student who’s powers went out of control and set fire to the building. It seemed like Matty was everywhere at once, helping people out, extinguishing the fire, etc. and as the smoke cleared, it was apparent to all concerned that there were three of him!
At first, he could only create a single duplicate at a time, but within months he far surpassed his mother’s Carggite gifts, and was able to produce a dozen duplicates, which he coordinated with an eerily silent efficiency. In time, he not only grew to revel in his newfound ability, but learned to send his duplicates out to coordinate tasks. Research for schoolwork could be done in a matter of minutes, with a dozen of him telepathically linked and able to divide up the task. Structural work, such as the inevitable repairs to the Academy, and later the construction of the Legacy HQ, were greatly augmented by his gift, as he likes to remind people of the ancient adage, ‘Many hands makes light work.’
Brainiac 5 performed tests on 'Matty,' and determined that he could generate extra mass, like his father, which, combined with his mother’s racial ability, allowed him to create many duplicates. Unlike his mother, Matty was a single sentience, and the loss of a duplicate was apparently of no importance, and he proved capable of sending a dozen or more out at a time, although all vanished if he lost consciousness. Brainiac briefly used him as a lab-gopher, enjoying having a dozen research assistants, but his parents put a stop to that and returned him to the Academy, to continue his training, now to develop his powers as well as his skills.
Legion’s dupes seem to physically grow out of him, a process that appears disturbing, and perhaps even painful, but Matty insists that it doesn’t hurt. (And in fact, doesn’t mention that it feels kinda nice...) The special equipment he has had constructed during his training duplicates with him, a belated repayment of his services from Brainiac 5 (although Matt’s parents had to browbeat him into even that concession that he had been taking advantage of the boy’s powers to use him as a nearly limitless supply of flunkies…). However, he had not been considered for Legion membership at the time, and so the Flight Ring and Transsuit he has acquired recently do *not* duplicate with him.
Matty is younger than many of his team-mates, and has no idea what to make of the various relationships forming and breaking up among them. As a result, he tends to keep to himselves, and avoid getting entangled in these antics, for now. As a result of his days working in Brainy’s lab, he’s somewhat conflicted about Brainiac Six. On the one hand, he knows that he’s just a clone of the same arrogant jerk-wad that ordered him around like a trained monkey, and yet, he’s also the closest thing to a surviving adult-figure, with the loss of his own parents, and generally immature behavior of so many of his team-mates.
While Matt has a few younger siblings, none have yet shown any sign of unusual powers, or even 'standard' Carggite triplicate natures. They live in Legacy Headquarters now, and despite his youth, Matt has argued with more distant relatives to allow him to retain custody, for now, fairly cunningly using the argument, 'just until mom and dad get back,' which he knows none of his soft-hearted relatives are quite ready to refute in the presence of their nieces and nephews...

Elemental (Siobhan Arrin of Earth)
Powers - can transform her body into any pure element (retaining a human body temperature, making mercury her only liquid form).
History - Siobhan's power comes from her father, Jan Arrah, aka Element Lad, diluted by her mother (Shvaugn Erin)’s human blood.
Her ‘mother’ is currently male, and going by the name Sean, again, having abandoned the female form about six months after their daughters difficult birth, loudly protesting that there was no way he was going through *that* again... As a result, Siobhan was raised by a pair of fathers, and still lives with Sean Erin, who serves as the Legacy Legions SP liaison (despite having been near retirement when pressed to remain for 'just a little longer' to liaise with this new team). Jan Arrah was lost with the rest of the team, and Siobhan and Sean remain very close, unwilling to lose each other as well, having already lost Jan. Sean has argued with her about joining the Legacy team, and, technically, she's still 'considering,' but he knows in his heart that she's already made up her mind, even if she still lives in the home he and Jan shared for so many years.
As a result of her father working in the Legacy HQ as well, Siobhan has not really bonded with the rest of the team the way she should have, always having a father present to talk to, and always returning home with him for dinner and a night in her own room, instead of taking quarters at the Legacy HQ.
Sean realizes that he's holding her back, and that he has to let go and allow her to begin interacting with her new teammates, but has yet to work up the nerve to cut her loose and suggest that she move into quarters with her new teammates... It was perhaps inevitable that the girl with two fathers would become a 'daddy's girl,' and Sean is steeling himself against the day that has to end.
Siobhan's name comes from Sean's grandmother (and he, and only he, sometimes calls her 'Zho'), as Jan insisted that their child would not have a Tromnian name, as that world was dead, and this was life, and deserved a name from a living culture. Sean's counter-arguments only made him compromise so much as to make her last name a fusion of their names, in the Tromnian tradition, transmuting elements from the last names of both parents to create a new surname for each child.
*
The only other members of the Legion Legacy team I had written up weren't children of Legionnaires. Hardware is a sentient shapeshifting mechanical construct, accidentally given permanent life by Life Lass of Lallor (at the expense of losing her powers). Elu is a small Vegan entity surrounded by an apparently invulnerable force field, and may or may not be over a thousand years old. Focus is the son of the Super-Assassin Lazon (and an unknown mother whom Focus identifies as a different woman each time he is asked), and shares his fathers power to transmute into a deadly blast of laser energy, who has joined the team to attempt to atone for his father's mistakes.

This is my own, highly simplified version of a daughter by Nura and Thom. She's an infant, so she doesn't have any codenames or power descriptions yet. She's just beautiful with future promise.
