This the first of 3 in 1, the Triae. She is the bee goddess(3) Bees in mythology usually are connected to honey, eloquence, wisdom and gates/bridges into other realms.
In Egyptian lore, bees are the tears of Ra, the sun god. In Hindu, bees form the bowstring of Kamadeva, the love god. In Mycenaean the bee is Potnia, the Pure Mother Bee.
I thought I'd combine the 3 under the Greek Triae because of their 3ness, a sort of Triplicate Girl without the Carggite stuff.
They each have a power: instantly causing extreme drunkeness(meade), instant fawning besottedness(bowstring of love), and instant shattering grief(tears of Ra). They can be in different locations or together or joined. Their personalities are very different, as their powers suggest.
Together, they open travel portals like Shikari's people.
This is the first & Mycenaean & angry drunk (SHE's just angry):

This is the first of the Legacy JLEers. Meran is a descendant of Queen Mera and Aquaman from a child conceived during the Brightest Day era. She inherited both of their power sets: commanding sea creatures, telepathy, superfast swimming and water constructs.
Atlantians have become paler and more fishlike as they co-mingled with each other, the mer dynasty and the footed species.
I'm adding this one because it goes with the first portrait and shows her underwater with flippers and some water manipulation. I also love the work:
This image then becomes her walking in the halls of Atlantis set aside for airbreathing guests:

Japan is represented in the JLE by Mosaic. She is a member of the royal family, a bit of a black sheep who operates outside of the prefered decoram established for royals over the millenia.
With a word and gesture, she turns whichever person(s) and/or area into a mosaic which lasts as long as she wants up to an hour. This ability includes all matter and all energy except tacheons. Time is also, on one level, contained within the mosaics, as whatever is in the 'picture' is held in a type of stasis for the period of containment.

The second of the Legacy JLEers is the current Batman assistant, from England. A Greystoke, his armour is very light and flexable, like Mithran, and his weapons vary from a light sword to the classic batarang:

The Triae are close to finished now. At some point, I'll resize them smaller and join the 3 pictures together into one presentation. If I can figure out how and if I get the right software. sigh

Twilight is a descendant of Catwoman and so, not really a Legacy JLEer. She is an assassin and thief when not working with the JLE. Her telepathic abilities are unrelated to Titan and it's colonists. She uses her mental powers to cause fear, panic, confusion of thought and senses. She also uses thought reading to gather information and to follow and find her unfortunate assignments. She is also trained in most of the European martial arts disciplines. Like Squire Robin, she is associated with the Batman Legends, but she is from a branch that moved to the Basque region of Spain hundreds of years ago.

This is a fun one for me. My family name is Crosby and we came to the US not too many generations ago. We're Clan Bruce, who came from France with William the Conqueror. The Bruce was the ruler of Scotland in William Wallace's time.
Anyway, this Bruce is in line for the Scotish throne, but he comes from a splinter group that settled in Colorado late in the 2200s, which he rules.
He, like the Green Arrows before him, and Squire Robin of the 31st century JLE, is gifted with super-markmanism, much better than normal acrobatics/flexiblity and speed.
He has a very small entourage, including a weapons smith who works with/invents The Bruce's many specialty firearms and bullets.
I love this one:

Okay. So. After Plaid Lad was rejected by the Legion, he joined the JLE.
Ummmm . . . . No.
Actually, he returned home to the Scotish Colony of Colorado and went into service for The Bruce, whom he then, went WITH to the JLE. P.L. helped L.D.(Lord David) with dressing, tea time and loading/cleaning/packing/carrying his guns. And . . . sometimes reporting covertly to the Science Police about JLE plans and activities.
