This is going to be hard because I can remember so many different things that they should cancel each other out. So the pack may be hard to sort out. For instance, from my memory, don't think that anyone from Gates and Star Boy on knows who M'Onel is. So that's one. So here goes.
I feel like more of the girls probably know the answers. I think they pay attention more at debriefings.
1. Saturn Girl (seniority + telepathy (+ constant self-appointed temporary leader) = most knowledge. Plus she doesn't need her telepathy now to win. I'm betting she's already gleaned a lot of knowledge. In fact, she SHOULD scan teammates after missions to get a more accurate account of the events for the records. No "fog of war" in the Legion (take that Science Police thugs!)) 2. Triad (Can you say Espionage Squad?) 3. Violet (ditto) 4. Apparition (ditto) 5. Kinetix (one thing we always see Zoe doing is reading and keeping detailed logs. 6. Spark 7. Kid Quantum II 8. Dreamer (I'm sorry, even with her flashes before she joined the team, I can only put her this far up) 9. Umbra 10. Shikari
(honorary #1: Chuck Taine... and he's blackmailing everyone!)
1. Cosmic Boy 2. Invisible Kid 3. Chameleon 4. Brainiac 5 (doesn't have his powers in this test, otherwise he'd probably guess everything correctly using deductive reasoning) 5. M'Onel (Didn't join as soon, but... HE WAS IN THE PHANTOM ZONE -- he saw everything! He spends a lot of time in space, but it's easy to catch up on the logs with super speed. 6. Live Wire 7. Gates 8. Star Boy 9. Karate Kid (This is one where Val isn't really at an advantage. Although I'm sure Andy filled him in on some stuff.) 10. Gear (sorry, I don't think he's been reading the mission logs. When he first showed up, he didn't want to be there. Since he's been back he's been more tech staff than Legionnaire.)
BTW, has anyone ever counted how many missions each Legionnaire has been on postboot?
And TJulk, I could certainly give the mission count a try. This Christmas when I go back home, I plan on making a sequel to my 'Adventure Era Appearance Count' thread by tallying up every on-panel appearance by the postboot team. If I'm lucky I should spend all break doing it and still leave five minutes to open Christmas cards!

Invisible Kid takes back the lead for the males and Triad stays on top for the gals. Surprisingly, our original first place holder, Shikari, departs today with Gates as the lowest ranked.

ROUND 6 LOCATION: The plantations of Winath. OBJECTIVE: Hope your uniforms are neatly pressed, Legionnaires. Today, all heroes will be brushing up their people skills as they become solicitors for McCauley Industries selling their robo-vacuum system to the domesticated Winath! Our Legionnaires have to be confident, possess good speaking skills, and boast the go-getter attitude to not take no for an answer. Charisma is a plus, but so is perseverance! The Legion lady and gentlemen with the highest number of sales will take first.
The Female Contenders: Saturn Girl, Apparition, Triad, Spark, Kinetix, Violet, Umbra, Kid Quantum II, and Dreamer.
The Male Contenders: Cosmic Boy, Live Wire, Invisible Kid, Chameleon, Brainiac 5, Star Boy, M'Onel, Karate Kid, and Gear.
So, rank the Legion gals and then the Legion guys from who you think could impress the people to make some sales to whom could never get past a slammed shut entry portal! Round 6 will end on Saturday, September 25th.

1) Triad (easy. She's got the experience and the gift of the gab too) 2) Dreamer 3) Kinetix 4) Spark 5) Umbra (yeah, I know, but I reckon she'd *scare* people into buying so she'd still have pretty good sales) 6) Kid Quantum II 7) Apparition 8) Violet (shy, but probably quite persuasive) 9) Saturn Girl (aww, come on, without her powers people would just want to slap her.)
and the boys:
1) Star Boy (he's quite the charmer, and could turn it on for the boys and the girls) 2) Chameleon (ditto) 3) Live Wire 4) Inivisble Kid 5) Cosmic Boy 6) Braniac 5 (like Violet or Umbra he's not the most socially adept but he'd also argue terribly persuasivly or people would buy to shut him up about the technical aspects of what he's selling) 7) Karate Kid 8) Gear 9) M'onel (I dunno, I just don't see him being very good at this one).

La Femmes ~ 01. Triad - with 3 personalites, she's bound to appeal to a greater majority 02. Dreamer - indomitable will, persuasive, charming, & sex appeal 03. Spark - knows how to work the rubes 04. Kinetix - gets by on her cuteness assuming she's not in terrorform 05. Umbra - uses intimidation 06. Violet - still working on overcoming that inherent shyness 07. Kid Quantum II - sells a few 08. Apparition - her snobbishness gets in the way of her game here 09. Saturn Girl - assuming she doesn't use her shameless hussy power, ol' iron butt stinks at this!
L'Hommes ~ 01. Live Wire - Works the rubes and he's charming and persuasive 02. Star Boy - Little old ladies love him and men feel superior to him 03. Cosmic Boy - does pretty well 04. Brainiac 5 - spotlights the product and knows it well but his personality hurts his total sales 05. Invisible Kid - espionage skills parlay into powers of persuasion 06. M'Onel - I don't care what era we're in, Lar will always be Bob Cobb, traveling salesman to me! Too bad he wasn't better at it. 07. Karate Kid - goes Zen and doesn't ask why he's doing this task - he just does it 08. Chameleon - It'd be nice to see early reboot Cham do this with his bad accent - still I can't picture him excelling at this 09. Gear - This iron butt can't shift gears quick enough to fast talk, much less double talk
Might I suggest that Cosmic Boy & Kid Quantum's relationship hits the rocks when Cos catches her in a steamy embrace with #7...

I *knew* I forgot something! Probably should do one to see who Apparition will hook up with Jo gone.

The Male Contenders: Brainiac 5, Star Boy, Karate Kid, and Gear.
Gals: 1. Spark (home court advantage plus generally friendly personality) 2. Kinetix (friendly and outgoing) 3. Triad (extremely efficient, and even though Purple might hurt her a bit she can more than cope) 4. Kid Quantum II (very determined and has some people skills) 5. Dreamer 6. Apparition 7. Violet (not as shy as she used to be) 8. Umbra (scary...) 9. Saturn Girl (what people skills?)
Guys: 1. Live Wire (home court advantage) 2. Cosmic Boy (charisma) 3. Chameleon 4. Invisible Kid 5. M'Onel 6. Star Boy (gets along well with people) 7. Brainiac 5 (overwhelms the customers) 8. Karate Kid 9. Gear
Triad and Invisible Kid hold onto their leads...just as Kid Quantum II and Star Boy keep to their lowest ranked status. It's a tearful Xanthian good-bye as they say farewell.
"We've come so far, ladies! Don't stop now! Keep going. Good-bye to you, the gents, and especially Cos..."
"I did my best, that's all I can do. See you at home, Nura! Guys, good luck! Bring back a gold medal for me."

ROUND 7 LOCATION: The rail-highways of Metropolis OBJECTIVE: It's a race! Each Legionnaire gets taken to the rail-highway docking station in Metropolis. They find the transport tubes sealed off and 16 beautiful cruisers with each Legionnaire's name on one awaiting the team. Simple enough, each Legionnaire has their own grav-cruiser to race in a three mile dash for a finish line. With civilians cleared out, it's up to whoever has the best speed and handling of their cars to win in the galaxy's grooviest drag race! The lads will race first, then the lasses.
The Male Contenders: Cosmic Boy, Live Wire, Invisible Kid, Chameleon, Brainiac 5, M'Onel, Karate Kid, and Gear.
The Female Contenders: Saturn Girl, Apparition, Triad, Spark, Kinetix, Violet, Umbra, and Dreamer.
Also! With Kid Q and Star Boy gone, Cosmic Boy and Dreamer have picked up some flirtatious vibes from other Legionnaires. Pick two numbers between 1 & 8, one for the gents and one for the ladies, so we can average out just WHO Cos and Dreamer are already becoming more buddy-buddy with!
Double also! To make things interesting and make it possible to change ranks still, points have DOUBLED. First will now receive 16 points and the lowest score will receive 2. We'll continue this way until we have our final six to compete in the last showdown!
So, rank the Legion guys and then the Legion girls from who you think will win the grav-car race to who is just spinning their non-existant wheels! Round 7 will end on Tuesday, September 28th.
