I actually do count Crystal Kid and Karate Kid II. I figure they probably completed more Academy classes in the Glorithverse than most of the current kids have in the Retroboot, after all.
Was this info revealed somewhere? I don't remember it.

Gah! That Adventure Comics Giant infuriated me SO much! I was all excited to see the Legion get some spotlight in another title and it was a frakkin' Lori-Morning-saves-the-day story!
The fact that PMS were SO intent on forcing that crappy character on us just shows how out of touch they were with the readers during that period (IMO the lowest period in Legion history until the Threeboot came along).

No dice, Blacula. Several Legionnaires out of order there. (If you factor the heights in, the weights give an interesting view of which male Legionnaires are beefier and which ones are more slim!)
Sorry, ff. just means "following".
And yes, I can think of 3 sources for the weights. One source gives all of their weights except for Karate Kid.
Another source gives the weights for everyone except Karate Kid and Ferro.
The last one gives the weights of Karate Kid and Ferro.
And yeah, that story was AWFUL - though it gave Kid Quantum II a much-needed spotlight, at least.

re: The Adventure Comics 80-Page Giant ... the art was sure pretty though. I also believe it was the first story (and one of the few of that era) where we ever saw Kid Quantum II in action without one of the other Xanthian Legionnaires running around. Random fun fact.
My guesses without consulting the source material: M'Onel Ultra Boy Star Boy Karate Kid Cosmic Boy Ferro Invisible Kid Live Wire Chameleon Element Lad Brainiac 5

I'll post the guys' heights; based on body type, it might help make ranking easier.
Cosmic Boy - 5'7 Live Wire - 5'10 Invisible Kid - 5'6 Chameleon - 5'9 Brainiac 5 - 5'7 Star Boy - 5'5 M'Onel - 6'1 Element Lad - 5'5 Ultra Boy - 5'8 Karate Kid - 5'8 Ferro - 5'7
I just realized there's a FOURTH source that gives the height and weight for 5 of these Legionnaires plus Leviathan. Unfortunately, Brainiac 5 and Chameleon have different weights listed in that source.
I'll stick to the weights listed in the two sources that came out last, chronologically.
Now, I'm not a particularly tall guy, but... At 5'9, I'm taller than all of the above except Chameleon, M'Onel and Live Wire (and Leviathan, who measures in at 5'11). Since Ultra Boy got married to Apparition at 5'8... I'd assume the Legionnaires were around 18-19 at that time, and therefore the guys were close to their full height.
The ones at 155 and 160, and especially the one at 150, are packing quite a bit of muscle - considering that after months of intensive gym work, I at 5'9' only managed 145 lbs.
The shortest Legionnaire is NOT the lightest, but the tallest Legionnaire IS the heaviest.
I always thought Star Boy was tall, too - I guess he's more beefy than tall?
I wonder how the Postboot Legion would look under George Perez pencils... after all, Perez is one of the few artists who really makes it a point to draw characters with body type differences.
