I think SW6 Andrew Nolan went by Ferro "Lad" and I think Postboot Lar Gand went by M'onel (little "o").
Thanks Blacula, but I checked and these are the right ones

Adding in alternate versions also adds to the difficulty. I haven't even finished my own list yet!

I find it interesting that a lot of us have such eclectic lists. Of the 4 votes so far, all have a healthy mix of Legionnaires from various realities.
Mine's quite skewed, though, since the Postboot Legion was my Legion during my formative years.

Gosh. I could have sworn "Ferro" was a Postboot invention but I just checked and you're right. So much for my memory. Haha
As for "M'Onel". The printing in the comics themselves is all capitals so it's hard to know from them what the proper capitalization should be. Or was there an in-comic reference that revealed it that I'm forgetting?
I notice Wikipedia uses a capital "O" too but I'm wondering if they made a mistake. His name is meant to be Martian for "He who wanders" but all the Martian words I can think of have a lower case letter after the apostrophe (e.g. J'onn J'onzz).
And so ends the most pedantic post I've ever written. Haha

That is actually a very good point about M'Onel's codename, Blacula. I went and checked Legion of Super-heroes Secret Files #1 to be sure, and it is indeed M'Onel. Good catch though.

This list is very much an 'at the moment' one as well. It is surprising to compare this list to ones like it years ago - my tastes have changed and its surprising how many of my old favorites haven't transitioned into recent times.

Same here, Future. I had a hell of a time building my list too. One of the fun things about this game is seeing how times have changed opinions. Probably half my Top 10 wouldn't have made that list years ago.

Some significant sums subsequent, I illustriously unveil an account to advantage a righteous result!
[i.e., this isn't the definitive list I'd give if I was just listing Legionnaires. It's done with much more of an eye on the final table for the round!]
