Ha. Based on this and other comments here at Legion World, I'm so glad I dropped the Levitz Mark III version of LSH before Harmonia took center stage.

Exactly. For example, Crystal would be at least fairly vulnerable in synthetic environments. Could provide milage for the nature vs. technology debate.
I really enjoyed the 'Ultimate Crystal' I think IIRC she was only in a special issue or annual of Ultimate Fantastic Four but she was written really well ... as a thrill seeker, and kinda like a rebellious younger royal princess would be ... taking off from the moon to explore Earth and her relatives come back and get her, Johnny Storm falls in love with her but ... at the end of the day she's like ... it was fun but I'm staying with the Inhumans.

So, I just came across this incredibly cool one-shot Golden Age strip that I wanted to share.
Harvey's Scarlet Nemesis and Black Orchid
So Rocky Ford and Judy Allen are partners in a private detective agency. But, unknown to one another, each has a secret identity! By night, Rock operates as the Scarlet Nemesis, and Judy assumes the role of Black Orchid! They frequently team-up in pursuit of criminals, but due to an agreement between them, they refuse to try to learn one another's true identities.
Their one story is pretty mediocre, but this strikes me as really groovy setup for a comic. The key would be to strike the right notes as to the differences between their relationship as Rocky and June and their relationship as the Scarlet Nemesis and the Black Orchid.

As. i recall, it was green in her hero ID in her actual debut in Super Friends, but black in her secret ID.
