I'll go a couple of issues earlier and say #41 - Starfinger?

OK, so it's a non-cover-appearing female character, featured in a story which contains no active Legionnaires, within 20 issues of v.3 #24?
By process of elimination it's got to be Comet Queen, in the second story of #11, which only features Bouncing Boy and Superboy, neither of whom were on active duty.
Do I win a no-prize?

If you are correct, you win the right to ask the next question.

Which Legionnaire's background contains no fewer that four distinct references to a 1960's sitcom?

Not that I'm aware of (If I'm wrong, just let me know and cite the four things and where they're from.)
The Legionnaire I'm thinking of literally has four details of his or her life intentionally pulled from a real-life sitcom (although why this is the case I haven't the foggiest.)

There was the Origins miniseries which for the Ultra Boy story had Gilligan's Island references.
I'll guess Monstress.

I checked out that "Legends of the Legion" story and, although, it's not the one I was thinking of, it fits the parameters of the question as I asked it, with no fewer than 7 distinct visual character references to "Gilligan's Island."
My original intention was the Who's Who entry for Kent Shakespeare, which established his first name as "Richard", his parents as "Rob" and "Laura", and his place of birth as "New Rochelle", all references to "The Dick Van Dyke" show. The source was later confirmed in a letter column, though why the homage was written at all was never revealed.
Anyway, Jo Nah-Gilligan's Island works, so... question to Chaim.
