The latest Legion trivia devolved into a guessing game which I treated like Mastermind and then I thought why not do it more often?
How to play:
The current winner, hereinafter known as the Legion Leader, picks a group of Legionnaires numbering at least 3 and at most 6 that have something in common, and announces how many there are. (3 may be too few with so many options and 6 may be easier to get a hit but harder to get them all.)
The guessers, hereinafter known as Legion Applicants, list the appropriate number of Legionnaires.
The Legion Leader responds with which Legion Applicant had how many correct. Note that the order is generally not important (unless the current Legion Leader decides it is because of the "reason").
Using the principles of the logic puzzle game Mastermind the Legion Applicants revise their guesses and the game continues.
Once a Legion Applicant has guessed at least half correctly, even if they aren't sure yet which ones are correct, they may also suggest what the Legionnaires have in common.
The First Legion Applicant to correctly list all the Legionnaires in the group and what they have in common becomes the new Legion Leader and the game begins again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know logic puzzles aren't everyone's cup of tea and there are a lot more Legionnaires to choose from than in normal Mastermind so I don't know how well this will work. Let's just try it out.
I am thinking of a group of 3 Legionnaires with something in common.
Light Lass
Magnetic Kid
Tellus
Always up to try new games, thanks for proposing one, stile!
Cosmic Boy
Lightning Lad
Saturn Girl
Sun Boy
Cosmic Boy
Lyle Norg
Chameleon Boy
Phantom Girl
Colossal Boy
Karate Kid
Ferro Lad
Princess Projectra
Great to see the enthusiasm.
Quis: 0 (Zero is a good result in Mastermind because it completely eliminates specific possibilities.)
Ibby: 1
Thoth: 0 (Probably be a few zeroes at the start of any round with all the eras and legionnaires to choose from.)
Set: 1
EDE: 0
That's 9 Legionnaires eliminated so far. Keep 'em coming!
Saturn Girl
Phantom Girl
Triplicate Girl
Chameleon Boy
Brainiac 5
Shadow Lass
Lightning Lad
Gates
Kinetix
Cosmic Boy
Colossal Boy
Chemical King
Lightning Lad
Chameleon Boy
Bouncing Boy
Saturn Girl
Phantom Girl
Triplicate Girl
Everyone gets 0 except for Quis who has all three!
(Quicker than I expected but a smaller group may make that easier.)
Now can he state the thing they have in common?
Quis has first shot at this but if he gets it wrong anyone can guess and whoever guesses correctly gets the win.
These were Supergirl?s three girlfriends in, I believe, her second encounter with the Legion.
These were Supergirl?s three girlfriends in, I believe, her second encounter with the Legion.
Absolutely correct.
Quis your turn.
Cool. I was like 'first three lady Legionnaires!' 'Ooh, all three played a prank on Superboy in the 20th century once!' but that's yet another thing they have in common.
I am thinking of 6 Legionnaires with something in common
Hmm...

(How should we handle same/similar characters with different codenames in different eras like Garth? Same character even if Lightning Lad is guessed but Live Wire is the correct answer? Opinions?)
(How should we handle same/similar characters with different codenames in different eras like Garth? Same character even if Lightning Lad is guessed but Live Wire is the correct answer? Opinions?)
Just say 'Garth' or 'Tinya,' I suppose, your answer would count for Lightning Lad or Live Wire, or Phantom Girl or Apparition?
I think that would work. although it DOES make the logic slightly more complex, as there could be significant differences between 'Boots. but let's do it this way now and see.
I was just too lazy to type out long hero names on the phone.

IB now has all 6. Does he know the link? He gets first crack at it.
I have a feeling these six appeared in the same story together, but... it's probably from the Adventure Era, but alas my memory of that isn't all that sharp.
Were these the Legionnaires who rejected Jungle King from membership?
That is not the connection. I will let others guess then give a hint
They've all had a crush on Superboy?
Seriously 'though, I got nuthin.
I almost went with Chuck as the sixth on my last guess!
Hmm... nothing's striking me about the link between these characters either.
Ok hint time. Think outside the book
Oh, duh. It's the cast of the cartoon first season! Or at least first episode when they recruit Superman.
oh duh! I was focusing on the book! Good one!
EDE is correct. These were the Legionnaires who first met Superboy Superman in the first episode.
That was fun. After the second round, I noticed that Lu was on a lot of lists that got one right, so I decided to see what happened if I assumed she was correct. It turned out it would be her, two of the founders, either Tinya or Vi, and two people who hadn't been guessed at all. I got lucky and got 5 on my first try using that schema, so it was just a matter of fixing it until it was 100 percent correct!
But, like Ibby, I was hung up thinking it was some Adventue era connection!
I followed a similar strategy in trying to guess who the 6 correct Legionnaires were! and figured that it would be much easier figuring out the link after the 6 were named!
So we've had a small group and a large group. Any suggestions for adjustments to the rules following these two rounds before EDE has his turn?
Seems to me it works pretty well.
Same, it's working quite well, I don't think we need to adjust at the moment.
It seems that everyone liked the solution to my mastermind.
I am waiting for EDE to say how many Legionnaires we have.
It's funny that I clearly had the cartoon on the brain, with my joking suggestion that 'they all had a crush on Superboy?' since that's the continuity where Brainy most definitely did, but didn't go on to realize that the cartoon was indeed the answer.
So my connection has six Legionnaires.

So, stile gets the first guess at the connection!
Goody! uh ... no idea.
To include IK1 this was early on if it is a story reference. Hmm. Four are regular members of the Espionage Squad.
Were they all on a secret espionage mission together, perhaps even with Ayla as Light Lass?
It's not a secret espionage mission that connects them, though it does concern Ayla as Light Lass!
I'll give one hint per day until someone gets it.
Did these 6 go on a triple date in that story where the female Legionnaires tried to get rid of the males?
Did these 6 go on a triple date in that story where the female Legionnaires tried to get rid of the males?
No, though you're sort of on the right track!
Are these the Legionnaires who kissed while using the love computer?

Yes!
They invited Star Boy to join in, but he refused, pining for Dream Girl.

Good Q, EDE, and good going, Quis!
The hint that it was related to dating gave it to me.
I am thinking of 4 Legionnaires

Set has all 4. He gets to guess the link.
Wow! It would be funny if it's not the obvious link, though.
haha yeah! Now I'm thinking if these 4 have a different link
Wow, those are the four 'smartest Legionnaires' according to Universo, who sent them all to prison while he took over the Earth in the Universo Project.
And if I'm correct, I'm thinking of five (5) Legionnaires with something in common.
Seeing as I could not think of a different link, Set has it.

Ibby 1
Invisible Kid I

Bouncing Boy

Gold Lantern
Dr. Fate

Okay, changing the rules slightly.
Now there's *SIX* Legionnaires with this thing in common, because someone got listed that I had forgotten about! Ugh.
(It wouldn't be fair to just ignore it because I didn't think of them, because not counting them would make it harder to guess the connection between the others.)
And in his last post, Quis got 2 right. (Including the one I'd forgotten.)
Just posting this now, because I'm headed to work and won't be on for a tad.

Happy birthday, EDE!
And feel free to take a guess.
How many did I get right?
Well, I was thinking "pre-Crisis Legionnaires from Earth", but there's also Sun Boy (and Cosmic Boy, for that matter).
Well, I was thinking "pre-Crisis Legionnaires from Earth", but there's also Sun Boy (and Cosmic Boy, for that matter).
And that's close enough! It was 'Silver Age Legionnaires from Earth' (and I was counting Sun Boy, whom you just mentioned, but not Invisible Jacques, who was post-Silver Age), and not Cosmic Boy, because I thought he was born on Braal (my bad!).
Oy, I forgot Bouncing Boy entirely. Thought Karate Kid was from Lythyl. Wondered whether to count Tyroc (decided not, since Marzal is technically in another dimension).
Note to self; do the research first!
Take it away EDE. I'mma go hide in my Legionnaire-forgetting shame.
(And gosh, did we *really* not get a lady Legionnaire from Earth before the Reboot? Yikes!)
With all the reboots it's hard to remember origins. I did a double take when you said Cosmic Boy wasn't born on Braal until I remembered that story that suggested his birth n Earth from Braalian parents was why his powers were so strong.
Good idea for a group anyway.
Ah, I wouldn't have considered Wildfire as Silver Age, so I was struggling to come up with a limiter that gave me exactly six. I actually didn't think of Tyroc at all and didn't consider the possibility of Cosmic Boy until my last post. If I had thought of the latter I probably would've gone with Sun Boy and Cos instead of Wildfire and Jacques as "Adventure Era Earth-born Legionnaires". I think the Cos retcon was in the Levitz spotlight issue? I might be wrong.
Anyway, great idea for a list. And, yeah, surprising that, with as many Earth-born Legionnaires as there are, none of them were female until 5YL. Hmm... I can think of at least seven female Legionnaires from Earth across various 'boots, so a bit too many for a future question.
Speaking of which, my list has 5 Legionnaires (though I'll say to begin with that one may be controversial).

I don?t think this is right but the connection is they all had statues in the hall of fallen heroes?
Set has all five, so it's his if he can name the connection.
Wow! Good guessing by Set. And good connection-thinking, EDE!
All members of the Workforce *and* the Legion?
That would be it!
Inferno's Legion membership is a bit iffy, but I went ahead and counted her. Poor Evolvo (Lad) has never been a member of the Legion in any continuity though!
Poor Evolvo (Lad) has never been a member of the Legion in any continuity though!
Give him time and he will grow into it.
Ha. He just has to level up and learn to mix his forms, so he's a big hulking brute with advanced psychic powers! Brainiape!
Wow, I think we listed every classic Legionnaire but White Witch in that last run, good question EDE!
And she's not one of the three (3) Legionnaires I'm thinking of now, who all have something in common...
Hmm..
Magnetic Kid
Tellus
Lightning Lass
I vaguely recall those three by the pool once, but no, none of them.
That would be it!
Inferno's Legion membership is a bit iffy, but I went ahead and counted her. Poor Evolvo (Lad) has never been a member of the Legion in any continuity though!
Yeah, I understand that and I would have done the same.
For her membership:
1) included in a published list by DC, in some Who's Who (but I can't remember...) though that same Who's Who counted Particon and Radion, who had definitely not been Legionnaires (only Amazers and Workfroce members)
2) Triad referred to her as a Legionnaire...
Against:
1) ... but when Triad did, Inferno said she was NOT one
2) When the Legionnaires voted on Impulse's membership, she was (by logic) not given a vote. Cosmic Boy counted the votes, saying 1 Yes (Brainy) and 6 Nos (Cos, Imra, Spark, Tinya, Jo, Gates). Therefore, Inferno was not a Legionnaire as she wasn't allowed to vote

Cosmic Boy

Karate Kid

Ibby and Quis each have 1.
So many names have been eliminated!
(Gosh, I have no idea what some of these trios have in common, so you might want to save some of them for your turns!)
Chameleon Boy
Colossal Boy
Chemical King
Woo, EDE has two out of three! Feel free to take a stab at it!
Hmm... nothing is striking me as obvious. Let's try to get the complete list.
Cosmic Boy
Chameleon Boy
Colossal Boy
And that's all three. Guess away!
Going for the overly obvious:
They all have code names with the initials "C. B."?
Correct. The obvious answer was indeed the correct answer, 'cause I am teh obvs!
(I was amused by that line in the Legion cartoon where Cosmic Boy greeted Colossal Boy as 'CB2' and thought it was neat that, along with Chameleon Boy, there were actually *three* 'CBs.')
3 love, ball's in your court, EDE!
So, the funny thing is that I'd actually just decided I was going to start throwing out unguessed Legionnaires in chronological order looking for hits, but after I picked Chameleon Boy and Colossal Boy, since Invisible Kid I had already been eliminated I thought, "Hey, let's just throw in Chemical King as another "C" name!" I can't believe I was actually on the right track!
At some point I want to pick a group of Legionnaire including Chemical King, just because he gets so little love, but other than 'Legionnaires who died' (which are too many to fit in a 6 person group, between the 'Boots), I have no idea what he has in common with a group of other Legionnaires! Legionnaires with primarily green costumes? Legionnaires with black hair? Legionnaires with upturned collars? Legionnaires with powers not replicated by anyone on the Justice League, Avengers, Teen Titans or pretty much any other team, ever?
Gay Legionnaires?
I thought of a cool category that includes him, but it would take some research to figure out who else is on the list, so I won't be doing it for awhile.
But, for now, my list has four Legionnaires.

We all have three nailed down. Who is the fourth? I'm drawing a blank for the common factor.
Lightning Lad
Superboy
Chameleon Boy
Tyroc
Everyone still has three.
I think if you guys get the fourth the connection won't be that hard, but the fourth may take awhile to get.
I agree, I think things will become much easier when we know the fourth...
Superman-X
Nemesis Kid
Insect Queen
Jimmy Olsen
Superboy
Chameleon Boy
Lightning Lad
Kid Quantum (James)
And a random guess, while I'm at it.
Superboy -> Supergirl, Lightning Lad -> Lightning Lass, Chameleon Boy -> Chameleon Girl, Kid Quantum (James) -> Kid Quantum II (Jazmin), Legionnaire dudes who are followed up by a Legionnaire lady with the same powers/identity. My other guess was 'Legionnaires with relatives who later joined the team' but that includes Dream Girl, Cosmic Boy, Invisible Jacques, etc. and technically doesn't include Cham, since RJ Brande isn't actually a Legionnaire.
ooh, nice one Set! that's quite a connection!
Great thought Set.
Superboy
Chameleon Boy

Set and stile have 3.
Set is very close on the connection.
I forgot to guess :-)

Shadow Lad (Grev)
I don't remember Grev ever being an actual Legionnaire, but maybe in the 5YL or something that I didn't read?
Legion Lads/Boys who have Legion Lass/Girl counterparts.
Set has the connection, but still only three Legionnaires (as does Ibby).
Whoever can come up with the fourth male Legionnaire with a gender specific name who has femaleLegionnaire with the same name but gender reversed gets it.
What about Dreamgirl?
EDIT: I guess I should say dreamboy to match the theme.
IDLE
idle swoops in for the win!
Welcome to the game! You get to pick the next grouping/connection.
Cool. I didn't realize I needed to come up with the next set so I'll have to read through the thread to avoid repeating a set. I'll tell you how many in a couple of hours.
IDLE
Thanks for the welcome. This is harder than I thought. the first five sets I thought of I dropped after I had seven characters (and there were still others), but finally,
I'm thinking of a set of four legionnaires that have something in common.

Hi idle
Definitely hints can wait until all the Legionnaires have been identified but we cannot get the connection. I also generally wait until more of the people playing make a guess before saying how many right but no more than a day.
Now for my new guesses
Shadow Lass
Phantom Girl
Shrinking Violet
Lightning Lass
Yeah, I usually wait a day to update with results unless I just happen to see that all the regular players have made a guess.

Ok.
Stile has all four but not the connection. IB, EDE and Quis each have 3. If I remember the rules correctly, Stile gets the first guess and then the others. (If that's wrong, please let me know.) If no one gets it by tomorrow night, (it's 10 pm where I am) I'll give the first hint.
IDLE
Oh, that's a good connection!
They all gained their powers by accident? No, that would include Bouncing Boy and Sun Boy amongst others, not to mention Lightning Lad.
Nope I am drawing a blank. Anyone else have an idea?
I'd rather let someone else have it since I did the last one.
oh duh! Their Reboot counterparts were the stars of the Legends of the Legion mini!
And IB got it. So your turn to choose the group.
IDLE
I figured Ibby would get it!
nice! yeah, I doubt I would have been able to guess the four through memory/logic alone, but once I saw the 4 Legionnaires, the connection clicked!
Okay, I have a group of four Legionnaires in mind

Quick Question as I think we are going through a lot of legionnaires. How "official" does it have to be. For example, does Batman count from that one issue where the Kents adopt Bruce? or I've seen some lists include Dr. Gym'll and Shvaugn Erin as Legion members. I'm just curious how "out ot the box" we can go. Don't mean to derail the game.
IDLE
My opinion: I think the character has to be an official Legionnaire, whether regular, reserve, or honorary. I would not include those of the imaginary stories. So Batman from the what if the Kent?s adopted Bruce Wayne story doesn?t count, but Command Kid who joined for evil motives would. Pete Ross counts as an honorary Legionnaire but Shvaugn would not.
Oh and IDLE you are not derailing the game. We welcome your input and you.

It's a good question. I would say at the very least anyone included in Wikipedia's
List of Legion members is fair game, but it's missing members of the Adult Legion who I would definitely count, plus the current incarnation of the team. It also weirdly leaves off the Murran spies under "expelled members".
I would say characters like imaginary story Batman, the Legends of the Dead Earth Legionnaires, #1,000,000 Legionnaires, etc., are in a much iffier category. I would generally avoid using them.
Supporting characters/staff like Gym'll and Shvaughn seem to me clearly not Legionnaires.
It's probably a good idea if you're using someone that your fellow players might think questionable when constructing a connection, to flag that fact for them.

Agree with all of this. I hadn't thought of the classic Adult Legion. I can see why you say yes EDE and yet it was shown that they were from an alternate timeline - but then so are most versions of the Legion so I guess I agree. Imaginary stories are a bit different and I don't think the 1,000,000 Justice Legion really qualifies either as being a separate group with references back to the Legion (and the JL). Legends of the Dead Earth did have Wildfire but it was a much different group more inspired by Wildfire's memories of the group than a Legion itself IMO. Still it would certainly make the game interesting
Good question, idle. and I agree with what has been said so far. I especially like the suggestion, that if one chooses a questionable Legionnaire, to flag that fact.

by the way, the 4th un-guessed Legionnaire is definitely not in a questionable category. Many guesses have been more questionable than this Legionnaire.

EDE got all 4, so he can guess the connection first. Then idle and stile may guess if EDE doesn't get it.
anyone else may guess 4 Legionnaires.
(I hope I got the rules right?)
I think it's open to anyone if I don't know it?
I'm sorry, I can't tell if EDE is saying he doesn't know it or is just clarifying the rules?
IB was right. Knowing the fourth helped a lot.
I actually don't know it, so go ahead if you've got it.
The four legionnaires who were off planet when the Blight struck.
you got it exactly, idle! yeah, I figured not knowing all four would make it tough, there's no real obvious connection between Cos, Tinya and Brainy.
That's true. I could come with connections between Cos and Brainy, and cos and Tinya but not all three.
I'm prepared this time and am thinking of a group of four legionnaires with something in common.

is the connection... Legionnaires who had a sibling join as a Legionnaire after they did?
(lol - after coming up with that connection, I edited my guess to have the 5 who fit, and I see EDE guessed the same five too!)
Cosmic Boy
Lightning Lad
Dream Girl
Invisible Kid II
Kid Quantum I
It is Legonnaires who had a sibling join after them. I can't believe I forgot Jacques and Danielle. I expected the hard one to see the connection would be Nura and Mysa because I very seldom think of them as sisters. It never occurred to me that 2/3 of the founders had a sibling join. Maybe Jancel can join the Bendis Legion
. IB gets to make the next grouping.
IDLE
Yeah, I think Nura-Mysa threw me off. After stile narrowed down the choices for "fourth" member, I'd actually thought about Lightning Lass, Magnetic Kid, Kid Quantum II, and Dream Boy being a possible connection between those four, but I couldn't figure out a way to characterize that connection that would be exclusive to those members.
nice connection, IDLE!
Remembering Nura/Mysa wasn't that difficult for me... (thanks in large part to Harbinger's excellent fanfic, which recently had an entry with Nura and Mysa!)
It was actually Kid Q I whom I had to think about. I thought at first that Supergirl was one of the correct answers, so my initial guess was "Legionnaires who had a relative join after them" (for Supergirl, it would be Superboy...) then I looked at the guesses again last round and saw that, logically, it couldn't be Kara...
I am thinking of a set of three Legionnaires.
Cosmic Boy
Lightning Lad

So he gets the first shot at the connection.
They all have used a lantern ring?
Yeah, close enough. I don't think Celeste actually ever used a ring, but she was endowed with lantern energy. But the lantern legacy connection was definitely what I had in mind.
Back to you!
That was a good one EDE! One of those obvious in hindsight cases. Well done Idle.
I did not remember that Mon-El had ever used a Lantern ring, so I would have not gotten that (even though it's obviously the thing that Rond, Earth-Man, Gold Lantern, etc. have in common).
I had actually forgotten that Earth Man had used a ring until I saw his name. Also, did they ever try to make Rainbow girl attached to the emotion spectrum or with Halo's powers? I seem to remember her getting an upgrade of some kind.
I hope this isn't too hard but my list has three Legionnaires.
IDLE
Well, let's just get the obvious out of the way;
Lightning Lad
Saturn Girl
Cosmic Boy
I do remember Rainbow Girl being tweaked to have her powers (and mood swings) be related to the emotional spectrum. I also remember her using her aura to lift some metal and throw it onto Earth-Man and company.
Bouncing Boy
Kinetix
Superboy
Yeah, Rainbow Girl's emotional spectrum connection was one of those things that Johns threw in that never really got developed.

Yeah I expect so. I was trying to rule his out as not a hat type thing but then neither is IK's. I didn't really think I was right.
Set has all three and can guess first.
Shoot, I was just throwing firecrackers in the pond, I didn't expect to get fish!
Uh, they were all Legion Leaders during the Threeboot era?
Were they? I honestly don't remember who was leader although I think Rokk was. I was thinking of another connection though.
IB can guess next and then it's a free for all until the connection is guessed.
I believe the threeboot leaders were Cosmic Boy, Supergirl, and Lightning Lad. I actually thought of that at one point!
I can't remember at all who the Threeboot leaders are! Though now that you mention, I remember Lightning Lad clearly.
I wonder if this is related to the Threeboot... but I cannot think of a scene with only these three...
hrm I can't think of anything
a clue.
It is threeboot related, but it is not scene. in fact, the connection is something that those three did individually.
Appear outside of the actual Legion book itself during their run? (I know Supergirl did, but have no idea what else was going on in the DCU at that time, if the other two had shown up in cameos for whatever reason in other titles.)
No the connection has to do with the main title.
Hmmm... are they the only Threeboot Legionnaires whom we know have traveled through time?
They each appear on the cover of v5 as the central character in a variation of the #1 cover.
ooh that sounds exactly right!
EDE gets it and can choose the next set.
For some reason, those three covers are one of the things I remember most about the threeboot. I couldn't tell your without looking who was in the background though.
Narrowing it down to the threeboot helped a lot.

Crap! You know, I was thinking he was at first, but then he's not listed on Wikipedia. But... now that I check more reputable sources (e.g. our own membership list in EG), he apparently was.
So I probably should have substituted him for the more questionable Wildfire (who was only half from Xanthu).
Anyway, one way or another it's your turn.
All's well that ends well, anyway

wow indeed, amazing job stile!
Yes, yes, obviously my brilliance is on display here. All bow down.
We just won't mention that it was a total guess - well not total, it was consistent with the previous clues.
However I have no idea of the answer - or rather I have several ideas but can't come up with one that exactly fits these four.
Someone else?
I think these 4 Legionnaires were on an archives cover together, so I will guess that. I remember remarking on it because Cos was missing, and Dirk was there instead. 3 Founders + Supes = common, 2 founders + Supes + someone else not Brainiac 5, not common!
I had a thought!
It was wrong, according the internet (Cham and Tinya were on the cover I was thinking of, so, oops).
I got nuthin.'
OK. A hint and a half.
The connection has to do with a story and not a specific scene. It also involves the second Legion issue I ever read. (I'm 50 by the way). I am hoping that Dirk makes it easier to figure out as the other three do seem to be together a lot for some reason.
The first issue I read was the end of earthwar and one of the first groups I thought of was from when the negabomb was contained. those panels I can still see without having to refresh my memories but the group of Kal, Mon, Jo and Drake I figured was too generic.)
IDLE.
hmm, sorry, still doesn't ring a bell. (Now if the 4th had been Val...)
My mind keeps going to the Sun Boy impersonator story in Smallville but there is no way I can see to connect specifically Saturn Girl and Lightning Lad to that. Jumping to the revival of Lightning Lad story certainly ties in Imra and Supes was somewhat prominent but Dirk?
Sorry Idle but it seems we are all being a bit dense.
Hmmm. Mybe it's not as memorable as I thought. Granted the result of this story is more memorable than the details.
Maybe a quote from a couple of other Legionnaires in the story (that don't fit the connection)
Drake: I'm so mad I could - -
Thoom
Val: It Looks like you already have.
I vaguely remember that quote but not the context.
Did it have something to do with Lightning Lad's election as leader?
No, after that (although I can't swear Drake didn't say that then) but it was during Garth's tenure as leader.
Hmm. During Garth's tenure but involving Superboy. He was absent for much of that after the battle with the Psycho-Warrior (was that his name) revealed his parent's fate to him and Imra gave him a post-hypnotic suggestion to keep him from returning to the 30th Century until the whole Reflecto thing which was also during Garth's tenure. Was that it? Were those four all attacked by the Psycho-Warrior?
Yes. Those four are the ones the Psycho Warrior attacked with their greatest fears. I admit Dirk's darkness attack is not quite as memorable as Garth's losing Imra, but they were the four.
BTW Psycho-Warrior's name was Thomak or something like that. Stile gets to choose next.
(And I'll try not to be so obscure next time it's my turn)
It was a perfectly fair question. I've just never read that story. That era is easily the one I'm least knowledgeable about.
Well, to be fair I think it was three years before I read the first half but LSH 259 made a big impression on me. I didn't actually start collecting monthly until the Baxter series but I remember that one and the Earthwar issue well. I've been collecting the Legion ever since and have a complete set (of the main series and quite a few appearances) since the end of the Adventure run.
Hey I got it! OK. I am thinking of six legionnaires who have something in common.
Colossal Boy
Saturn Girl
Kinetix
Element Lad
Magno

indeed, it was a perfectly fair question. we have precedent after all. just so happened it's an era none of us is particularly knowledgeable about. so don't worry, idle! (I know the Psycho Warrior and have read that story, but it just didn't click for me)

EDE gets all 6! EDE can guess the common thread between them.
I'm not coming up with anything.
I think they appeared in a story together, but I'll be darned if I can remember which one.
I'm stumped. I can't remember Blok and Brainy sharing an adventure, but I'm sure it will be obvious in retrospect.
If it's them sharing an adventure, it almost have to be something from the 80s, but nothing is coming to mind.
Hint time: This is not about an adventure they shared or anything like that. It is about something that is common about these characters in terms of Legion and Legion related comics.
Um... is it something about their connection to L.E.G.I.O.N.? They were all either in or related to someone who was in L.E.G.I.O.N.?
that sounds very right!!!!
Um... is it something about their connection to L.E.G.I.O.N.? They were all either in or related to someone who was in L.E.G.I.O.N.?
You got it! I was thinking either members or counterparts of members of L.E.G.I.O.N. but you are even more correct that they all had relations (although Strata/Blok was only done as last female/last male in FYL dream sequence.)
Take it away EDE.
So, my list contain six members.

That's it!
I've had that grouping on my connections to do list for awhile!
nice!
a wasted opportunity, that story. Not happy that Kinetix became a zombie either. Andy's power changes were never explored or explained, except for one panel showing her having light powers.
The best thing that came out of it was Brainy getting internalized force field powers. Not that he needed it to be formidable, but DnA especially showed him using them really creatively. Like creating a whole bunch of force fields to reflect a cascade of blaster fire back at the source...
Okay...
I am thinking of 7 Legionnaires.

Ibby has all five, so he gets first crack at the connection.
(DELETED N00B COMMENT)
oops sorry EDE
The connection still needs to be guessed. Ibby gets the first shot at it.
wow, how did I manage that...
Um... full-time Legionnaires who also became Substitute Legion members AFTER they left active duty? (For Dream Girl: becoming active in her first appearance, moving to Subs, then rejoining the main Legion!)
Yeah, Legionnaires who became Subs was what I had in mind. Back to you, Ibby!

well that was fast. EDE may guess the connection. EDE knows me very well, it seems
Um... is it Legionnaires unique to the postboot era?
Sounds right.
I was going for the Reboot Legionnaires transported to the 20th Century (9 if you count Shvaugn).
EDE has it!
I didn't count Inferno cause her full active membership is disputable (in LSH 88, when the Legionnaires vote on Impulse's membership, there were only 7 votes cast = that's Cos, Imra, Ayla, Gates, Tinya, Jo, and Brainy. Sandy wasn't counted.
Also didn't count Shvaughn, as she was never a Legionnaire.
Superboy (Connor) was only ever Honorary (despite acting like an Active Legionnaire for a while), so also not counted.
And Sensor was clearly a version of Projectra (they didn't even try to hide it - confirmed in LSH 105! when Sensor was confronted by an alternate Jeckie!) whereas DnA always denied Shikari was merely a Rebooted Dawnstar.
Shouldn't there be 10 though? Because I left off Monstress (and you seem to have counted her on raz's list).
huh, that's right. oops! sorry, mea culpa. I was sure I had the count right in my mind.
No big deal.
I have a list of six.

Supposedly-deceased Legionnaires in the Adult Legion story?
Yeah, that's what I was going for. Legionnaires whose memorial statues were shown in the Adult Legion story. stile was *so* close. Power Boy's statue was show inside the issue, but not on the cover.
Credits to stile for the massive assist!
hmmm okay I am thinking of 3 Legionnaires.
Oh Heck! I looked inside the issue too but only to the first appearance of statues inside, not to the later scene in the garden outside. Oh well. When I had the first three locked in that cover leaped out at me. Great choice EDE and well done Ibby.

I only had my idea after seeing what EDE and idle picked, so that would totally be cheating and Saturn Girl would take my Flight Ring away!
I'll skip this round. Good luck all!
Also am intrigued to see how we'll handle a tie, if that comes up.
This question now raises something... but asking it now will give things away. I'll address it after.
but i can tell you, you're all on the wrong track re the situation and connection. hopefully identifying the 2 of 3 will help with that.

wow good work stile!
i think I know who #6 is and what the connection is now...
Rats! It took me ages to find 5 that were consistent with all the previous clues and I expected 5 as the result but Raz's 0 means I only had 4 of the ones I thought. I expected him to get 1. Now I can't find a set that fits at all. If Ibby can see the connection he is doing better than me.
Oh well let's try this:
Timber Wolf
Brainiac 5
Saturn Girl
Mon-El
Element Lad

ah no, I see it now, raz's zero also means I am again stumped. I was thinking of a certain story, but that can't be it...

I just can't believe I was so convinced Cham and Vi were there and now it turns out I just kept getting two right every time by sheer accident
Ima sleep on it and put my Furball brain to the task again tomorrow if nobody else has got it by then
Oh gosh, my mistake, raz indeed got 1/6 on that last round, and yes, it was Chameleon Boy! (A hint to atone for my misdeeds!)
On these last two guesses, stile and Ibby both got 4 out of 6, even despite my sinister misinformation campaign! Both can guess.
No worries Set we all make mistakes. Just glad my logic isn't as flawed as I thought it was.

I have to think about the connection - my original guess was the Legionnaires who went on an espionage squad mission to stop a war-mongering dictator while at the same time aiding a rebellion BUT stopping the rebel's Dark Circle-allied leader... whew. But 2 Legionnaires who were there, are wrong guesses, so that cannot be it...
Ibby has 5 of 6, but stile has all 6 of 6!
That's not the connection I thought of though... Any other things you can think of that they have in common?
They are all orphans? Not sure about Saturn Girl and should also include others like Element Lad so that's not it.
No, sorry but I can't think of the connection.
They were the legionnaires on Jim Lee's alternate covers for the first six issues of Levitz and cinar's legion?
don't have a clue either. did they maybe appear on an Archive cover together?
idle's guess sounds plausible to me. Otherwise, I have no idea.
They were the legionnaires on Jim Lee's alternate covers for the first six issues of Levitz and cinar's legion?
Over to you idle!
(That picture is such a riot. Superboy looks like a fresh-faced teen, and Mon-El, whose body didn't age in the Zone, and physiologically should be around the same age-ish, looks like his dad...)
Well, that is supposed to be the 5YL version of Mon-El, right? So he'd be about old enough to be his dad.
I remember those covers. Good puzzle.
I don't think I have ever seen all of those covers put together (or I don't remember seeing them anyway)!
Although I hate Brin being turned into a bargain basement Wolverine these days, he actually looks really cool in that pic (and doesn't actually look like Wolvie which in itself is an achievement considering how easy it would have been for Jim Lee to just recycle some old X-Men pic for it)
nice one! wonderful connection. and some nice art on those covers too.
That's my favorite TImber Wolf Costume.
I'm thinking of a group of five legionnaires.
Ferro Lad
Projectra
Cosmic Boy
Sun Boy
Superboy
That's my favorite TImber Wolf Costume.
Ditto!
For the 5, I'm going with
Polar Boy
Sensor Girl
Tellus
Quislet
Magnetic Kid
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
Cosmic Boy
Phantom Girl
Triplicate Girl
Phantom Girl
Triplicate Girl
Colossal Boy

but EDE has all 5 and may guess
oooh I know the connection now! good going EDE
It's the five Legionnaires who ended up trapped on an asteroid after an espionage squad mission to Khundia.
That's correct.
I don't know why, but this issue's cover keeps popping up in my mind recently.
To be honest I don't like this story due to the misunderstanding with Ayla ( I felt she should have more trust in Imra at least) and Reep and Garth beating themselves up seemed overdone. I did read it out of order though since I didn't actively collect the Legion until the Baxter series so maybe it didn't read that way at the time.
EDE gets to chose.
To be honest I don't like this story due to the misunderstanding with Ayla ( I felt she should have more trust in Imra at least)
completely agree, idle! I always felt Ayla should have had more trust in both Brin and in Imra... plus, what I remember was Brin hugging Imra, it's not like they kissed or anything. And also, Garth never reacted negatively, why did Ayla?
Ayla just came across really poorly in that storyline.
Is it actually Yera rather than Vi in that story?
Either way, good connection.
Is it actually Yera rather than Vi in that story?
Either way, good connection.
Yeah, I think that was the story where Shrinking Yera started getting all cosy with Gim...the actual story doesn't really hold up well, it's a bit contrived and over the top with the melodrama but I am a sucker for those "small band of heroes trapped in isolation somewhere and doing character development" bits (and the cover was actually very memorable!)

Ayla just came across really poorly in that storyline.
Yeah they were close but it was freezing but no indication of kissing that I saw. Unfortunately I've known some people of both sexes who jump to the wrong idea with their significant others, but Imra had (as far as I recall) never shown a sign of infidelity towards Garth. It did seem abrupt on Ayla's part.
indeed. that was the part that annoyed me - it all seemed like a silly misunderstanding - and I remember Ayla not giving Brin any chances to clear it up. Element Lad also didn't come off well, I remember him making several snide comments to Imra and Brin...
Retroactively, it seemed almost like Ayla was looking for an excuse to break things off with Brin (and I don't recall Imra and Garth having any real repercussions, relationshipwise, which made me think that Garth didn't think it was worth a big blow up, and he's... pretty high-strung...).
Oh, yeah.
Um... I'm thinking of six characters.
Timber Wolf
Kinetix
Sensor
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
Colossal Boy
Sun Boy
Bouncing Boy
Wildfire
Tyroc
Invisible Kid II
Gates
Kid Quantum II

Ibby - 1

So, raz can guess.
oof this is a tough one....are they the adult Legion members that Blok blew up when Brainy and Rond were viewing the alternate realities that Ferro Lad's brother could see?
That is not it. I don't think this will be that tough once the list of six is complete.
Colossal Boy
Sun Boy
Bouncing Boy
Karate Kid
Ferro
Wildfire
Colossal Boy
Wildfire
Sun Boy
Karate Kid
Invisible Kid I
Supergirl

just to be Contrary Lad.

Ibby - 2
raz - 1
Set - 3

Set can guess if he likes.
Tyroc

Nightwind
White Witch
No idea yet, time to eliminate some more possibilities;
Mon-El
Shadow Lass
Dream Girl
Lightning Lass
Ultra Boy
Shrinking Violet
Ibby - 1
Set - 1
Also, looking back, I seem to have miscounted raz's first guess.
So, he actually only had two right in this list:
Colossal Boy
Sun Boy
Bouncing Boy
Wildfire
Tyroc
Invisible Kid II
Sorry if that's massively thrown anyone off.
Invisible Kid II
Dragonmage
Fire Lad
XS
Dawnstar
Shikari

Brainiac 5
Apparition
Tyroc
Mon-El
Colossal Boy
Bouncing Boy

Blok
Light Lass
Colossal Boy
Bouncing Boy
Phantom Girl
Dream Girl
Triplicate Girl
Sun Boy
Mon-El
Triplicate Girl
Star Boy
Bouncing Boy
Brainiac 5
Sun Boy
(This doesn't fit every clue but I can't find a combination that fits every clue. I must be missing something somewhere.)
Ugh. I hope I didn't mess something else up.
This round:
Set - 3
Ibby - 4
stile - 4
Checking everything again, I think everything is right other than the first round miscount of raz.
I should probably be writing things down myself, to better analyze the clues
Colossal Boy
Bouncing Boy
Phantom Girl
Triplicate Girl
Sun Boy
Matter-Eater Lad
I was wrong. I found 2 possible combinations that fit.
Sun Boy
Bouncing Boy
Brainiac 5
Triplicate Girl
Phantom Girl
Shrinking Violet
And stile chose the right combination!
Now... can he guess the connection?
I should probably be writing things down myself, to better analyze the clues
I do that already and it hasn't exactly been covering me in glory hahahaha
You know I didn't think I had any idea but now I think I've got it.
These 6 legionnaires were all first introduced in the Supergirl story in Action 276 "Supergirl's Three Super Girl-Friends", her second visit to the 30th Century when, this time, she succeeds in joining the Legion.
(Always found it interesting that although Triplicate Girl and Phantom Girl are shown as members and Brainiac 5 joins with Kara, Sun Boy and Bouncing Boy and Shrinking Violet are all applicants who apparently fail to join at this time yet next time we see them they are full members.)
That's it!
It's a pretty basic connection, but one that's a bit unintuitive because we think of these characters as separated in term of canonical "order of membership".
Over to you, stile!
wow! good reasoning stile, and good question EDE!
t's also interesting to think that not only were those six characters introduced in the second Supergirl story, but Colossal Boy, Chameleon Boy, and Invisible Kid were introduced in the first, which makes you wonder what things would've been like if they'd kept the idea that Supergirl's Legion was actually the future of the one that Superboy joined!
Good pick and interesting thoughts EDE.
I'm thinking of 6 legionnaires who have something in common.

oh yay!
Was it the six Legionnaires who took part in the ritual that brought Lightning Lad/Proty back to life?
You got it. Take it away raz.
w00t! Okay y'all, I am thinking of 3 Legionnaires who have something in common:
Cosmic Boy

Princess Projectra

Oh wow, I thought that would keep people going for a while but you got it! Good work EDE!
It feels like there ought to be a lot of groupings with Projectra and KK, but that was the first one that came to mind!

Now that you say that, I am racking my brain to think of another one (aside from Ferro/Nemesis Kid) and coming up blank, maybe I played myself haha

ah good guessing EDE!
i also thought of that as the connection! eliminating Ferro Lad made me think, hmmm, what else would work...
There was a lot of luck there, with picking the right one of Set's trio, and then Ibby eliminating Ferro Lad.
I'm thinking of a group of five Legionnaires.

At first I thought maybe it was the Legionnaires involved in saving Princess Projectra from the pain plague...i'm not really sure that's the case now, but it's my best guess!
On a sidenote, is it just me or do Orandans have an immune system like a premature baby? I swear it feels like "kooky future ailment" was Jeckie's only story beat till she and Val got married

The fact that 20th century Smallville and 30th century Metropolis weren't utterly ravaged by plagues is proof that Time Sphere (TM) technology has the *best* anti-microbial temporal safeguards!
Listen to these user testimonials;
"Augh, it burns! My eyes, my eyes!"
"I feel like they just sandpapered the inside of my spleen..."
"I haven't been able to smell anything for a month, but I guess it was necessary."
"Well no, honey, it obviously can't be mine. I've been sterilized like seven times this year alone..."
Everyone is still at 4.
No correct guesses, yet.

And that's 5/5, so it's Ibby's guess.
Ah ok. I had eliminated Jeckie because idle had guessed Sensor Girl way back in the second guess and scored 0 but I can see them being considered different as well so fair enough.

Oh! I should've counted it. I must have just been looking for "Projectra" and missed her under a different name. I wondered why no one was guessing her. Sorry about that.

now that you mention it, I remember also avoiding guessing Jeckie because she had been guessed - and eliminated - as Sensor Girl earlier!
But I was tired last night when guessing and forgot that, and did a quick search of Projectra and found nothing, so added her in...
because these 5 are the Legionnaires who were poisoned at Brainiac 5's birthday party... great story by Shooter
Yeah, that's the right connection. Sorry again for the confusion.
no big, it happens.
I am thinking of 4 Legionnaires.

still 3/4 here.
stile, it's probably too early but, could you remind me of the rules for giving clues as to the connection?
though I don't think I need to yet of course. anyway, nobody has guessed 4/4 yet.
I think if no one gets it once we have 4/4, it's time to start giving clues.
Mon-El

Like all of these games, I think it's up to the current "Puzzle Master" to decide how and when they give clues. EDE's comment makes sense but if you feel your puzzle is dragging on a bit long and you want to speed things up then IMO go for it.

Oh gosh, I have no idea. I was just covering the ante! I was in a tiny college town with no comic shop during the Reboot years and missed this whole era!
anyone else may guess the connection, and if nobody has a clue I will give a few.
I'm not coming up with anything.
Did it have anything to do with mon working for Ra?s while part of the team was lost?
nope, Ra's wasn't the connection
clue: the connection occurred after Ra's
That certainly narrows it down, but I'm still not coming up with anything.
Sorry no idea from my single reading decades ago.
shall we try one last round of possible guesses?
These Legionnaires were on a mission together.
if someone can guess either
a) the person they escorted
b) who they visited
c) who they fought
d) where they went
I will give it to them.
TImewise, I would guess they esorted Connor somewhere, but I can't remember those issues well enough and they are 6 hours away.
I'm going to guess they escorted President Wazzo somewhere, but it's still not ringing a bell.
you are both right that an escorting happened... but not for Superboy nor for Winema
shall we give it one more round of guesses?
Hmm... were they on a mission to Kwai space and fought Singularity?
Yes! they escorted RJ Brande to Kwai Space, and were all captured by Singularity (the best example of an extremist who thinks he''s a hero)
good one EDE, take it away
I had vague memories of a group being ambushed while on a trip to Kwai Space, but I couldn't remember anything at all about who was involved.
Anyway, I'll do a list of six.

That's all six, and I suspect you know the connection...
The Reboot Legion Rescue Squad, secretly formed by Cosmic Boy (he asked Live Wire to do it) so they could swoop in when the Fatal Five inevitably turned on the Legionnaires
consisted of kicked-out /inactive Legionnaires and allies (and one time-lost XS).
Kinetix also magically showed up, unconnectedly, at about the same time. What timing!
Yep!
I believe that' s why I accidentally counted Kinetix in your first guess. I was thinking before I looked it up that she was part of that group, and still kept wanting to put her in even after I checked.
Cool!
and yeah, the timing was very close, probably the only thing keeping Kinetix from being among the Rescue Squad, was because she was with Mysa at the time. Magic, you know.
I am thinking of 5 Legionnaires
Sensor
Quislet
Gates
Tellus
Wildfire
Cosmic Boy

(Sensor has been excluded but if you consider Jeckie to be a separate character then she is still in.)
stile has it!!!! including my perhaps controversial decision to count Sensor vs. Jeckie as separate. And i think that can be argued both ways...
sorry if it threw anyone off
Dang it, I was gonna say the Fatal 5 kids but I made the fatal Sensor = Jeckie error lol
Good thinking stile
I almost made the same mistake myself and I agree that you could argue it either way. Something to keep in mind for the future.

Maybe we can agree together?
The problematic ones i can think of:
Sensor vs. Projectra/Sensor Girl
Superboy: we agree that Kal-El is diff. from Kon-El and diff. from Jon Kent?
But Threeboot Supergirl Kara vs. Preboot Kara are the same?
Dawnstar vs. Shikari are certainly different, because Shikari's creators say so?
just some thoughts...

just some thoughts...
I see Dawny and Shikari as totally separate characters (like Laurel Gand and Supergirl)....really the only thing they have in common is a partial powerset, but Shikari's a whole different species from a whole different galaxy and she's never really shared any of the same story or character beats as Dawnstar.
I think everyone agrees on the Superboy stuff, and we should probably keep identifying if it's Kal/Kon/Jon when we make guesses
Aside from Sensor/Jeckie, the only other character I have wondered about sometimes is Ayla because she's had as many identities as Hank Pym lol....but whatever she calls herself and whatever powers she has this week, she is still the same character right?
I agree with both of you. Basically if they have the same name (not title/superhero name) then I consider them versions of the same character, so all versions of Kara are the same character but Laurel Gand is a different stand-in. Superboys are different. Aylas are the same. Dawnstar/Shikari are different. Ferros are the same whether they come from the present or the future. Sensor vs Jeckie is the only question for me. They are different species obviously but use similar names, are both royalty and have similar powers. Tricky but for simplicity we can rule that they are different for the future. Thoughts?
I used to be much more inclined to count Jeckie and Jeka as different characters, but as time has passed, and we get more and more versions of Legionnaires that vary from the originals, I've moved more towards counting them as one. But I'm cool with keeping them separate. The "different real name" seems like a pretty good guideline.

Just thought about Wildfire/NRG who breaks this a bit with his Reboot merged version. Is this the same or a different character?
Given that the merged form uses the "Drake Burroughs" name, I'd count it.
Weirdly, this counts threeboot Randall Burroughs (Drake's brother) as version of Atom'x (one of the personalities that goes into making up Drake) from the postboot, but not as a version of Squire Burroughs (Drake's brother) from the preboot. Which, since none was a Legionnaire, doesn't matter much from the standpoint of the game, but is still an interesting result.

I had to read this three times and now I think I can taste colors
I think for ease of reference, I'm gonna agree with EDE...I feel like we are gonna trip over ourselves too much trying to differentiate between the different Wildfires; it's easier conceptually to see Jeckie and Sensor as different in your head because one's a giant snake and one's a white-haired lady who raided Frank N Furter's closet one time...but the two Wildfires are visually basically the same entity and they've been squished into having the same "real name" so my brain just goes ehh close enough it's the same dude
Reboot Wildfire adopted the name Drake Burroughs, as EDE correctly stated, so we're good
Wait, there was a Threeboot Randall Burroughs...?

I just wanted to offer a comment on same or not characters. First, I personally consider Projectra and Sensor the same but I will go with the majority and count them as separate from here on out. But my concern is with the Bendis characters. Threeboot projectra had a different name but i think would be considered the same and didn't her name become the name for current projectra? Also, current White Witch has a different name and origin but is more similar than some of the characters who have the same name. I'm sure there are others. I know that we haven't really dealt with the current Legion much in this game, but in the future it might matter.
Would it maybe be easier to just consider the current legion all as different characters?
thanks, blanked on it entirely!

to be honest, I've never thought about it as I assumed all the Bendisboot Legionnaires had the same real names... current White Witch has the same origin as Reboot Mysa (not a Legionnaire, but also daughter of Mordru), while the Xola Aq name was used by Preboot Mysa. So I think that's enough to qualify her as "same character" as the previous White Witches.

PS I think raz, having guessed 3/5, can guess the connection?
I originally thought maybe it was the other (as in "other than Brainiac 5") Legionnaires in that story where Brainy gets too horny and makes a Kara realdoll in his sleep, but I'm pretty sure that ain't it now...it's the only guess I got though so I'll put it out there!

Ibby has all correct and so gets first guess at the connection in this round.
The Legionnaires who got caught between the Scorpius Gang and the Taurus Gang? I remember Dream Girl having to impersonate Mystelor on the fly...
That's the one. Spot on.
Your turn Ibby.
Good job, Ibby!
Kind of weird collection.
yeah, quite an interesting group. I like this sort of mixing-and-matching of Legionnaires in sometimes weird mission groupings.

I get lazy sometimes and just automatically put Mon-El and Shady, Violet and Ayla, Jo and Tinya together, so it's fun to see groupings that split up the regular couples and give them a chance for characterization outside of what they have together (Drake and Dawny, for instance. When alone, they could get something more than 'Drake is clingy, Dawny is stand-offish').

Wow! I'm excited to see what this is, because I have no idea!
Oh. Good connection (assuming I've guessed it.)
Oh wait... I've got it. That is a good connection.
gosh, haven't we had this connection before?
Woohoo! Is it Legionnaires who all had their siblings join the team after them?
It is a good connection.
Yes we did have it before back in August last year along with similar ones that included Shadow lass/Lad, but it doesn't matter. Idle set the puzzle and Ibby guessed it last time but it doesn't matter. By everyone's reaction we had all forgotten and Raz wasn't involved back then so that makes it a great set of legionnaires. We are all having fun so who cares?
Incidentally, since I just posted this in Kill This Thread but it's relevant to our earlier discussion in this thread, Roger Stern maintains that
Sensor was a new character.
Oops, I wasn't sure if we'd had this one before!
I had also questioned whether or not Ferro Lad (Andrew and Douglas) would count, but didn't think the sibling actually got to be a Legionnaire proper... (And Eltro Gand wasn't a sibling, and I pretend he doesn't exist).
In any event, on to razsolo!
I would've counted Douglas Nolan, since he's a member in at least one continuity (the one he teleports to at the end of LSH #300, plus arguably the Adult Legion as well), but it's not a glaring omission.
I suppose one could argue for Ayla as well, since Mekt joins in the Dynamo Boy story.
Okay y'all, I am thinking of 4 Legionnaires who have something in common! May the odds be ever in your favour!

I'd wait until someone gets all four and we see if anyone knows the connection before you start giving out clues. Unless it just takes us a really long time to come up with the fourth...
I don't have any idea on the connection so far, other than they're four Legionnaires who've never been in my space-kitchen.
I'm going to take a guess and say the legionnaires who pretended to get married in the story with the spies

They did, although that's not the connection...it was a pretty big story for an honorary Legionnaire if that helps!
for an honorary Legionnaire... were they the Legionnaires who told Pete Ross that his son had to be taken by aliens...?
That does sound vaguely familiar. I was trying to think which honorary would have been in a story with Dawnstar, but I was thinking in the future not in the past.

They did a follow-up in DC Presents #14 where Pete plots revenge which fails but ends up driving himself insane, and then another in DC Presents #25 (also written by Paul Levitz) that involves the Phantom Stranger and an evil sorceress but no Legion. Basically the sorceress is somehow gaining power from Superman's guilt at leaving Jon there and Pete now insane and locked away. He has no dealings with the sorceress, that's all in Phantom Stranger's ballpark, but it does make him rethink his decision, so he goes and rescues Jon and brings him back to a relieved Pete deciding that fate can take care of itself. He doesn't know how the future will turn out, perhaps Jon as a man will come back to the planet and become a hero there, but he does know what is the right thing to do now. Just sometimes he needs a bit of prompting.

The first batch of draftees to join the reboot Legion.
you got it! Brainiac 5 got a draft at the same time, but was too absorbed in his research to even read it
Really? I remembered that they were all in that group but thought there were a lot more of them. There's another "Reread Reboot Reminder".
(Also you had eliminated Chameleon Boy in Idle's previous guess. Did you consider the Reboot character a different character to the pre-boot Cham?)
oops, that was a mistake - Cham should have been correct, so 1/5. my bad! sorry, I know i threw some players off
sorry for t hat mental hiccup.
but yes, it was those 5. I think it seemed more cause the Legion grew fast then -
LSH 0 - 3 founders
L* 0 - Tinya + Lu
LSH 62 - Gim, Cham, XS, Lyle, Kid Q I (though they were drafted in L* 0)
L* 19 - none
LSH 63 - Brainy shows up (drafted L* 0)
L* 20 - Ayla
LSH 64/ L* 21 / LSH 65 / L* 22 - none
LSH 66 - Zoe, Vi, Andromeda
Fortunately, I didn't look at any guesses other than stile's!
no problem. It wouldnt have mattered since I was thinking the originals anyway. Good Going EDE

Now can he get the connection?
In a word, no.
It can't be an adventure since Ferro Lad and Chemical King were not alive during the same periods. (I don't think there was ever a Chemical King in the Reboot was there? Threeboot?)
Bouncing Boy and Matter-Eater Lad didn't die and were never golden statues or similar.
Superboy, Bouncing Boy and Matter-Eater Lad all left the Legion but not Chemical King and Ferro Lad.
Blank.
Someone else have an idea?
I can't think of anything unless maybe in the Superboy and the Legion in the 31st century comic. (I never read any of those).
Aslo stumped. I cannot recall a time when all 5 were Legionnaires together. Certainly not in the Reboot - Condo Arlik appeared as an apparently non-powered reporter. Not in the Threeboot either (and Chuck was not there).
there were some time fluctuations in End of an Era, causing Chemical King to briefly reappear, but these 5 didn't interact that I can remember.
Tenzil and Condo weren't among the Superboy's Legion Legionnaires.
All 5 did appear in the Legion toon, though Condo only made cameos (or did he even? his symbol was one of those on the Monitor Board, but...) and Ferro Lad, well, the same thing happened to him in the toon as in the comics, so...
You guys have come weirdly close, but here's a hint:
Their not appearing together is kind of the point (in the sense that if they lacked this connection, they'd have been much more likely to have appeared together).
Still no idea. I can't think of too many reasons they would be unlikely to appear together except death, expulsion/quitting or different universes. And that doesn't apply that I can see especially that wouldn't include others. Every time I think I see a connection, one of the five doesn't fit.
Are these five the only original legionnaires that didn't appear in Threeboot?
Are these five the only original legionnaires that didn't appear in Threeboot?
I'll call that close enough.
Those are the Adventure Era Legionnaires who were not members of the Threeboot team (which otherwise was entirely made up of Adventure Era characters, aside from threeboot exclusive members Dream Boy and Gazelle).
Of those, Matter-Eater Lad appeared, but not as a Legionnaire. I almost counted Mon-El, who didn't actually join in v5, but he's apparently depicted as a member in Legion of Three Worlds.
Wow. Thanks. Your clue really helped. It had to be something that, if it wasn't true, they probably would have appeared together, as you said. That led me to where had they all not appeared and Threeboot was the only place I could think of, which then led me to the answer you were thinking of. Still a guess but we got there. I didn't remember Matter-Eater Lad's appearance. (Just looked it up. That's right. He was a UP prosecutor.)
I will think of a new group soon. (Bit late tonight.)
Ah! great connection, and a tricky one for sure. Bouncing Boy appeared in a letter column, but was really Chameleon in reality.
Nicely done!
the fact that Supergirl was a Threeboot member also added to the trickiness in figuring it out!
Great Group EDE. I'll admit I thought Bouncing Boy had shown up in the Threeboot.
Was probably that letter-column / feature. And he also did show up in that one issue, that included stories from alternate Legions (the Preboot). Alongside Dawnstar, Tyroc, Wildfire, White Witch etc... but this was not in continuity
I only came in at the end but that was a good connection!
Speaking of Tenzil, didn't he bite someone's finger off in the threeboot? Imagine trying to make frickin MATTER-EATER LAD grim and gritty
He did it to Mekt, I think!
I am thinking of a group of 6 legionnaires. I am restricting this to Pre-boot Legion up to Zero Hour.

Drawing a blank on this one. We have 3 couples, but... are they the first 3 officially confirmed Legionnaire couples?
Live Wire
Saturn Girl
Triad
Apparition
Bouncing Boy
Ultra Boy
That's the list and the fact that they are couples is key, but they weren't the first three official couples.
are they the only couples whose weddings were depicted on-screen?
No, but weddings are kind of important.
Cmon Ibby you can get this.
thanks for the vote of confidence, stile
Ummmm are they the first three couples whose weddings (real or not) led to them stepping down from active membership?
are they the only couples whose weddings were depicted on-screen?
yeah, I forgot about Jeckie and Val too...
thanks for the vote of confidence, stile
Ummmm are they the first three couples whose weddings (real or not) led to them stepping down from active membership?
That's what I was going for! They're actually the only Legionnaires who had to resign because of the prohibition on married Legionnaires, which was changed to allow Lightning Lad and Saturn Girl to rejoin.
Oh yeah! And the Tinya/Jo one was in the weddings that wrecked the Legion! Nice!
I'm going to take a gamble, and think of twelve Legionnaires. (I think this large number might actually make this easier, but let's see!)
HMM. 12:

Cool! Good group to select Ibby.

Oh EDE, that's totally next-level thinking, including Lightning Lord, who is technically a 'Legionnaire,' even if he's not a member of the Legion *of Super-Heroes*.
(Or maybe we've done it before and I'm just noticing it now because I'm next-level slow.)
Not doing anything quite so clever.
Lightning Lord, along with Saturn Queen and Cosmic King, was technically an LSH member in Adventure Comics #331 (the Dynamo Boy story)!

EDE by the rules you can still give a list, just Raz has the first guess at the answer - which could be a bit tricky if he sees your list before guessing and that gives it away.

great minds think alike
Lightning Lad

Everybody has 2 correct. Gee I wonder which 2 they could be?
No arms lost as the common denominator (not even Floyd's) but actually you are not that far off in some ways.
Lightning Lad
Bouncing Boy
Element Lad
Lightning Lad
Bouncing Boy
Matter-Eater Lad
Lightning Lad
Bouncing Boy
Matter-Eater Lad
That's all three! EDE do you know the connection?
Characters who were restored in some way by Dr. Xan Orbal?
He regrew Lightning Lad's arm, restored Bouncing Boy's powers, and de-super-fatassed Tenzil.
oooh that is a good connection, stile and EDE!
Yep that's the connection I was thinking of. Good job EDE.
To this day I still think it's a shame he didn't restore Lu's third body.
I'm going to pull an Ibby an do a connection with 9 members.
You know, he could easily have indeed!

Alright I am pretty confident that this is the list:
Lightning Lad
Triplicate Girl
Chameleon Boy
Colossal Boy
Sun Boy
Element Lad
Ferro Lad
Lightning Lass
Brainiac 5
However, what the link is I am drawing a blank. I would think Ferro Lad is the big clue because of how limited his appearances were in the original team, unless it is referring to the Reboot. It doesn't match the 20C team. They didn't all die in similar circumstances. Their interactions with others like the Fatal 5 involved other members. They all appeared as Adult Legionnaires in possible futures but so did others.
Nope I am stuck.
Ibby - 7
Stile - 8
I went back and checked, and I don't think I've made any mistakes in counting.
The remaining character has been guessed, but not for quite awhile.
Lightning Lad

Princess Projectra ?
My fault. I can see my mistake now.
Lightning Lad

The connection? Still not sure. Closest I can get is they all died in one or another of their versions and were all either resurrected or replaced by a doppelganger/duplicate/something similar? Still not quite right as surely Karate Kid and Invisible Kid also fit that description.
That's the correct list, but not the connection.
It sort of has to do with duplicates, but you're fairly far from the key point.
Anyone can guess the connection.
All of these were in the SW6 Legion, did they appear in a story together?
SW6 is super-important, but not because of a mission.
One might include Laurel Gand with this connection as well, but I decided not to count her.
Does it have something to do with the originals meeting the doppelgangers? though it can't be originals who never met the doppelgangers, as only Ferro and Cham count here that I'm certain of. While Tinya, Garth, Ayla and Jan at least definitely met theirs.
Is it legionnaires whose SW6 versions changed code names.
Is it legionnaires whose SW6 versions changed code names.
And idle sneaks on for the win!
I didn't count Laurel, because it's not clear if she had a code name prior to the Legionnaires series. Valor, of course, had a different code name than the Silver Age version, but that's because it was retconned to have always been his code name.
You're up, idle!
Brilliant guess, Idle!!! and great connection, EDE!!!
for some reason, I thought more Legionnaires changed code names... lol
Yeah, if you just go by the twenty active as of Legionnaires #1, you've got 9 who change code names (2 of which are just dropping Lad/Boy), 7 who keep their Silver Age names, Laurel, and 3 new members.
Hmm. I?ll try and have my set by tomorrow.
And what helped me figure it out most was that Garth was included but not Rokk or Imra.
What a great idea for a connection EDE. I love it. And well done Idle figuring it out.
OK. I'm thinking of a group of 7 Legionnaires.

I will wait to give Ibby a chance to answer. But I realized that I miscounted and there are eight legionnaires in this group. The results for the first round have not changed but if Stile and EDE want to add a character, they may.

Triplicate Girl
Command Kid
Magnetic Kid I
Size Lad
Blackout Boy
Since he included Size Lad and Blackout Boy from the super-pill Murrans I presume he also means the Murran Xaxan Magnetic Kid I and not Pol Krinn Magnetic Kid II.
I missed this at first thinking it meant Pol.
Idle is 2 still the correct number?

First, Yes the number for EDE's list is still 2. I thought he meant the Murran Magnetic Kid when I answered, but as a hint, I will say that it didn't matter. I hope I haven't made this too difficult. It is an idea I had back when I started playing this game, but thought 8 would be too many. It is an unusual grouping.

I have another clarification I need to make (once again I just didn't think properly). For this set, all Superboys are being lumped in as one. I think only Kal was mentioned by name but due to not considering Jon or Conner as separate when I was counting, I will count them all as a single person this time (and promise not to do that again). I may have been too clever when trying to get this set to work.
Also, I will say that of the 8, two still haven't been guessed.

Sorry Idle but could you check your responses please? My last guess was a check on the status of Cosmic Boy because every other legionnaire I placed in the list was on a "0" list. However when looking at this old list of EDE's:
Brainiac Five
Invisible Kid
Colossal Boy
Star Boy
Supergirl
Bouncing Boy
Sun Boy
to which you responded "2", all but one were on other lists with Cosmic Boy that had only "1" hit so "2" for this list is impossible.

So either the top list is not "2", or one of the "0"s is incorrect or one of the "1"s including Cosmic Boy is incorrect.
Sorry. I've checked it over a few times so I don't THINK I am wrong, but if I am tell me and I will go back to look for my error.
Stile,
You are correct, the example from EDE that you show that I listed as 1 should be 2.

Ibby and Stile both have seven but EDE has all eight and gets first guess.
oooh brilliant, I think I know what the connection is! I don't think I would ever have gotten it myself without knowing the full set of 8!
They've all had vision based powers at some point in their existence?
EDE has it. My original thought was Powers that came out of the eyes. I can't believe I forgot to count all three Superboys since they were part of the reason I didn't use it earlier. I was not surprised that Visi-Lad was the last to be guessed.
You're up EDE.
nice connection! Visi-Lad was what clicked things together for me. it's easy to forget that Cosmic Boy had magnetic EYES way way way way back in his first appearance(s)! (not sure if it lasted more than one story lol)
It felt like it took way too long to catch onto the fact that all of the Kryptonian-type heroes were being included, but as soon as I realized that, it clicked with me pretty quickly how Cosmic Boy would fit in, and so it was a matter of figuring out who else would be included. Weirdly, Visi-Lad was obvious, but I would have completely forgotten about Laurel if I hadn't noticed that Ibby had included her. My first thought was to include Cosmic *King*, who I believe also projected his powers from his eyes in his earliest appearances.
Anyway, nice connection for sure!
I did start thinking it had to do with powers, because of Kal / Kara / Jo / Thom... then I had a hunch and guessed Laurel and Mon to see how that would work...
seeing Visi Lad clicked things in for me though!
Good job EDE. When I saw your list I figured you probably had it. Great idea idle.
So I'm going to do a list of 6 Legionnaires.

Umm ... are they Reboot legionnaires who lost their powers at some point?
stile, you got the connection! Although I didn't include Superboy as I'm not aware of when he actually lost his powers (plus, I think he was only ever Honorary, not Active like the others).
Spark was iffy for me, as she technically lost her lightning powers... but I categorized her as having had transformed powers, rather than having lost her powers.
so there's still one more out there who lost powers for a time...
I think I know who it is, but I'll let Stile take it if he can figure it out.
First time I have the common denominator before completing the list. Grin. Yeah Kon-El was just a guess as I am having trouble thinking of a fourth member that lost their powers. Chuck never had them, pretty sure Inferno never lost hers, which leaves Tenzil, Jan and Umbra and I can't remember them ever losing them. Really have to reread the reboot. Could look them up but don't want to cheat. Alright, even though his counterpart has been eliminated and it's debatable whether he counts as a legionnaire I will go with
- Dirk Morgna.
Not Dirk, as he wasn't a full Legionnaire in the Reboot
hint: your memory may be a bit off.
Well that sounds like a big clue. Since Tenzil wasn't really a legionnaire and I am pretty sure about Jan, I guess I am forgetting a story about Umbra. Is she the missing fourth legionnaire.
Some beautiful Steve Lightle artwork in that issue!
stile, you have it. Umbra is the last Legionnaire, she "briefly" lost her darkfield under DNA. Briefly because in "comic book time" she wasn't missing all that long, but in real time she lost it for about 2 years! It disappeared in Legion 2, and she regained it in Legion 24! talk about being put on a bus...
Wow! I didn't remember it lasting that long.
was it the storytelling decompression?
I purchased the run of "The Legion" and read through it once a few years back but very little stuck in my mind. Umbra losing her powers is definitely one of those forgotten bits. Ah well, at the rate the read-through is going we should get to it in a year or two so I might finally remember it better.
New group soon.
Ok I think I have one. (Hope this hasn't been done before and that I have thought of all those that fit.)
I am thinking of a group of 5 legionnaires that have something in common. (Restricted to original Legion in case I am forgetting alter story.)

Ibby you have 4 of the 5 and may have a guess at the commonality.
oh cool! I'm kinda lost though... Ferro Lad wasn't a member for long... and I think Star Boy rejoined only very shortly before his death...
Maybe it will click if I have the 5th Legionnaire.
Projectra
Star Boy
Saturn Girl
Ferro Lad
Karate Kid I
Projectra
Star Boy
Saturn Girl
Ferro Lad
Dream Girl
And EDE gets the whole 5! Sneaking in for the win. Does that mean he can also name the commonality?
I'm thinking that it's Legionnaires who wore a mask, though there's at least one more I would count.
and I think I know the one more.
Yes that is what I was thinking of. I am not surprised that I missed one. Which one EDE?
I was thinking primarily of Supergirl as Unknown Boy, though Mon-El as Marvel Boy/Legionnaire Lemon might work as well. Also, there's Lightning Lad as Starfinger, though one could disqualify him as he wasn't acting as a Legionnaire at the time.
Anyway, fun connection.
And Wildfire and Tellus have stuff over their faces, although more 'faceplate' and 'rebreather' than mask, per se...
I was also thinking of Supergirl as Satan Girl, but Satan Girl was a villain so...
nice connection!!
You know I had been thinking if Supergirl qualified but I didn't remember the Unknown Boy story. Must have been tickling the back of my brain.
Lightning Lad/Starfinger is another good idea. I ruled out Mon-El as that was one of those marvellous plastic faces/heads that were so often used in the silver Age and so lifelike they fooled everyone. Who didn't wear one at some stage?
Wildfire and Tellus are interesting possibilities since Ferro Lad 's mask falls in to a similar category.
Good job everyone. it was fun to try something a little different.
Take it away EDE.
yeah, inspired choice stile! and good guessing EDE
So I have a list of 6 Legionnaires.

stile has all six, and gets first shot at guessing the connection.
Somehow Earth Man seemed to fit but I really have no idea.
Shot in the dark - legionnaires that Shadow Lass has expressed a romantic/physical attraction to? (Fits B5, ME and EM but not sure about the others.)
Well, your shot in the dark was correct!
Silver Age Shadow Lass expressed interest in Brainy early on, before dating Mon-El long-term.
Threeboot Shadow Lass broke up with Karate Kid and then dated Ultra Boy.
Retroboot Shadow Lass was with Earth Man for awhile.
And Bendisboot Shadow Lass is "a union" with Cosmic Boy.
So, Brainy was a bit different than the others, but I figured including him actually made the connection easier to get.
You're up next, stile!
Once I saw Earth man was correct, I figured it had to be shady but I couldn't remember Karate Kid. Good Guessing Stile.
I must admit, I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to guess Jan Jor or False pretenses lad. in this round we had 6 correct, 85 eliminated, and by my count another 26 possibilities (with 7 more really out there possiblities). I suppose Cannus wasn't really a legionnaire but I thought the group from Levitz's last go round had already been guessed. Still a fun round and a good connection EDE.
Wow. OK. I totally forgot about Threeboot and even the Bendis group. (Smacks head.) Great connection EDE. Really enjoyed this one.
New Group soon.
Ok I am thinking of a group of 4 legionnaires and 1 legion character who have something in common, 5 in total.

(I will add that I think I have all legionnaires that fit this group but it is possible that I may be forgetting someone.)
I?m stumped unfortunately. Trying to think of stories they were in?
Maybe, Legionnaires who have impersonated Superboy?
That's it! All of these characters have pretended to be Superboy. Good guess.
Wow! I had no idea! Great guess and nice connection!
wow!!!
I just took a stab at it... but did notice we had two shape-shifters and two 20th century characters, so...
awesome connection stile!
okay, I am thinking of a group of seven.

BTW here are how those characters did the deed:
Chameleon Boy - shaped as Clark Kent once to help stop one of Lana's proofs of Superboy's identity
Colossal Boy - pretended to be Superboy "giantised" by Red Kryptonite when it had actually worn off and so SB could be seen as normal Clark Kent
Supergirl - acted inside a Superboy robot once when visiting SB's time period to try to prove she could be trusted with SM's secrets (she blew it at the very end)
Pete Ross - pretended to be SB while SB was away after Pete accidentally broke the Superboy robot that was meant to be taking SB's place (Ultra Boy helped him out)
Proty II - pretended to be SB during his initiation into the Legion of Super Pets

Theena(also threeboot)

I absolutely have no idea as I haven't had internet for a week or so and kind of feel awkward with guesses this late, but these are the deepest dives I can think of.
Well, I'll go ahead and confirm that idle has 1!
Jan Jor
Element Lad
Elastic Lad
Pete Ross
Porcupine Pete
Kid Quantum I
good going idle! that was some pretty deep diving!
Ibby has all 6.
Does he know the connection?
hmm... I have a feeling it has to do with disguises and false pretenses (Jan Jor is commonly known as False Pretenses Lad, after all!)
am thinking of Element Lad joining as Mystery Lad, and Kid Q I being revealed to be a Protean...
though I'm pretty sure this doesn't apply to Porcupine Pete...
let's guess this: Legionnaires who've become a member under a different identity?
That is not the connection.
So it's open to anyone.
I have no idea. I even checked to see if they all weighed the same or had the same height, but no. Also is Jan Jor the same as False Pretenses Lad? I thought the were different. I remember when I first read that issue, I thought they were indicating Jan Jor was Dynamo Boy, because I didn't know there was one.
"False-Pretenses Lad" is a fan name given to the otherwise unnamed character shown being imprisoned in Adventure #327 after having joined the Legion under "false pretenses" to further a criminal plot.
Jan Jor's file is shown when the Legion is looking through records of ex-Legionnaires with criminal records in Adventure #354.
It's fairly common for fans to identify the two, though there's really little internal evidence that they are the same character.
If the two are distinct, then it's definitely Jan Jor that is the relevant one for the connection.
whoops! good research, idle.
and thanks for clarifying, EDE. I always thought they were the same...
EDE, I think I have the connection. Can I guess again?
EDE, I think I have the connection. Can I guess again?
That's fine by me.
thanks EDE!
Legionnaires who share first names?
James Cullen (Kid Quantum)
James Olsen (Elastic Lad)
Jan Arrah (Element Lad)
Jan Jor
Peter Ross
Peter Dursin (Porcupine Pete)
That's it!
There's some near misses, like Dirk/Dyrk, and Laurel Gand/Kent would count except the latter was never actually a Legionnaire.
I sort of thought the two Petes would clue you guys in much sooner.
This grouping was at least partially inspired by idle's comment a couple of rounds ago:
I must admit, I didn't think I'd ever get a chance to guess Jan Jor or False pretenses lad.
I'm glad he came back in in time to provide Jan Jor as a guess again, and this time it was correct!
Nice connection, EDE! It didn't click in my mind at first. Actually, with Jimmy Olsen and Pete Ross in, I was thinking of connections involving the 20th century!
it was only after seeing the full list that it clicked. I admit to being stumped when I saw James Cullen and Pete Dursin being there...! Then my mind went to, "Well SW6 Kid Quantum was a Protean in disguise, while Element Lad first joined as Mystery Lad, so did Jan Jor joining under false pretenses have something to do with it...?" But I could not, for the life of me, figure out how Porcupine Pete fit in with that!
glad idle turned out to be prophetic
I don't think the connection would have clicked for me without seeing all 6 names together.
Nice connection. I honestly never think of Kid Quantum I as James so even though I noticed the Jans and the Petes, the Jameses didn't click. Good job Ibby.
Oddly, the only other Legionnaires I almost never think of by true name Gear and Tellus. At least until the current legion
.
Great connection EDE. I was really scratching my head over that one. Really good pick and congrats Ibby.
thanks idle, thanks stile!

yes! raz has it 100%! not counting XS' retconned origin in 3 worlds.
Ferro, Kon and Mon all came from the 20th century, and Thunder from the 90th!
Thanks y'all! Once I saw Ferro Lad was in there but Val and Jeckie weren't I figured it had to be reboot-related as he wasn't really round long enough the first time around to have many other associations...I will come up with another group & post tonight

Legionnaires who only have one name - no surname?
Grava

and guessing #6: Karate Kid II?
I'm guessing Quislet has a proper surname then.
That is correct, it's Legionnaires with a single real name - over to you IB! (And Myg was the last one of the 6 as well)
Shikari gets called Shikari Lonestar so I take that as her having a second name...and Quislet's real name is untranslatable so I didn't count him.
Biron the Bowman and Blockade Boy II would both have qualified as well as it turns out (as Biron/Comet and Proty), it just never occurred to me to look at them when I was going through the rosters
nice! yeah I thought that Lonestar would count as a second name for Kari, while Quislet - we don't actually know its name!
I'm thinking of 3 Legionnaires!
Good job, Ibby! I was thinking something to do with names, but I was fixated on how many of them used their real name as their code name.
Of course, Dawny now has a second name due to Bendis!
Cosmic Boy
Lightning Lad
Saturn Girl
Timber Wolf
Kinetix
Element Lad
Although I doubt the connection is actually my three favorite legionnaires
Kinetix is one of them? you have great taste
and thanks, EDE
the name thing didn't click for me until I saw Blok, Dawnstar and Glorith were among the correct answers

I am stumped! Let's try:
Saturn Girl
Brainiac 5
Ultra Boy
The only thing I can think of is if you take Lyle out of the picture on account of being dead, they're the first 3 leaders of the classic team to be elected by the team?
Haven;t thought about that! but no, that's not the connection I had in mind.
Hint 1: Look to the Reboot
Hint 2: it's based on something they all did, indeed. or rather, some things!
Trying to think of what I remember of Reboot. Apparition comes to mind with Jo being the only one to see her for a while and then later Imra making everyome see her, and when lost making everyone "think" they could see her - but no B5 connection.
Did they all lose their hold on sanity at some point?
the losing hold on sanity... well all of them have erupted, but that's not t he connection I'm going for
Hint 3: it's related to some place/s they all have been. Think of stories where they've been together
I think maaaaybe I have it? Were Imra, Brainy and Jo the only ones to go back to the 20th century after that thing with the Emerald Eye as well as being sent to the Kwai's galaxy?
YES! You got it! they're the 3 Legionnaires who were both in Team 20 AND the Legion Lost crew!!!
they sure were unlucky eh?
(lucky in terms of number of appearances though!)
Hey, well done Raz. That was a good connection Ibby. Tricky but obvious once you saw it.
Yeah, that was good IB! It was only after you said some things they'd done I started thinking it might be related to more than one incident!
That is some bad luck, then finally getting back home to stay just in time for your universe to be wiped oy....the luck lords were NOT happy with these guys
I will come up with one and post later today!
thanks stile, raz
yeah, imagine being stranded twice - once 1000 years in the past, the next in an unknown, unchartered region. wooh! stressful!!!
and poor Brainiac 5 needs to be in both, because he's uber-smart and would have solved things easily if he had been home. or something. (definitely, the Team 20 storyline had him there because of that, he'd already built a time machine after all!)
Okay, I've got one!
I am thinking of 6 Legionnaires who have something in common!
yay!

IB has 5/6
...and stile has all 6 and I'm pretty sure has guessed the connection! Both of you can give it a shot!
I wouldn't have made it without Ibby's last list. His comment about size-changing and including Proty made sense, and I suddenly realised that there was one more "shape-changer" introduced in the most recent version of the Legion.
As for the connection, I can only get as far as they are all the shape-changers / size-changers in the Legion. Let's be more specific and say they can all grow larger (including Vi in her LeViathan version).
(I guess Elastic Lad is excluded as he is usually only shown as stretching which is a bit different. Others like Plastic Man have been shown taking multiple forms and sizes but Jimmy tended to just stretch.)
If Ibby has a better guess he should go for it.
Thanks stile
this was also the best I could come up with, after seeing Cham, Vi, Yera and Gim on the list
So I?ll just guess - Legionnaires who can naturally change their form? Elastic Lad is left out because his powers come from gingold?
stile's got it! It was Legionnaires who specifically can grow larger
I nearly put Bouncing Boy in there but he only really expands to one other size so it's not really the same thing....take it away stile!
(Although I do like your take on it as well, IB - that is a clever connection that would work as well)
nice connection raz, nice working it out, stile!
Wasn't there a scene where Earth Man absorbed Gim's power and grew, or am I misremembering?
In the six part Superman & the Legion of Super-Heroes there is a panel where he uses Gim's power in a surprise knockout punch to Gim. Not sure if he used it again after being drafted in to the Legion, but a good point. Still saying he has the power to grow is a bit like saying the Absorbing Man is made of steel. it's true but only when they are absorbing that particular quality. So I probably wouldn't have included him myself. Duplicate Boy on the other hand could have been included if he was ever a legionnaire. Anyway it was a good thought, idle.
I'll get a new group up soon.
Alright, I am thinking of a group of nine (!) legionnaires.
(When I started counting up this "group" there were more than I thought, but at least it fives a lot of chances for hits on guesses.)

Ibby - 8!
Ibby may guess the connection.
(I can also add that when I thought of this category I had to eliminate elseworlds and futures that did not come to pass or the number would be even higher.)
Are these Legionnaires who encountered the Time Trapper at the End of Time in the Preboot?
Good idea. However not the connection I am thinking of.
oh darn
hmmm
I keep thinking it must have to do with the Time Trapper or Glorith somehow. including when adding in a version of Night Girl
Legionnaires who have been in the Pocket Universe?
Still incorrect.
Don't forget that you still only have 8 out of 9 for your best list (or 9 out of 10 if including Night Girl).
This is not related to a specific adventure but cuts across multiple versions of the characters.

Ibby has 8 again but raz has all 9 and can make the next guess as to the connection.
IB mentioning the Time Trapper made me wonder....is it Legionnaires who have all faced the Time Trapper without the rest of the team being involved? (the conspiracy to kill him after Superboy died, the 5YL version of it, Legionnaires 3, Cos and Night Girl in his 80s mini-series I think and I'm probably missing a couple others!)
Not what I am thinking of. Anyone can now guess.
As a bigger clue if I included a well known alternate future that was in continuity for a while it would add 5 more legionnaires to the list along with a non-legionnaire taking the number to 14 or 16. If you can think of which future I am talking about and what legionnaires were shown in what circumstances it might help.
The current list includes Legionnaires from Original, 5YL, Reboot and even Fourboot.
I think I have it. But it's been a while since I guessed and I'll be without internet for about a week, so I wouldn't be able to do a round. But I'm curious if Dream Girl would be one of the extra legionaires.
well-known alternate future in continuity for a while... 5YL perhaps?
my first thought was capes, but then Lu and Tasmia would have to be on the list. Thom too lol
Okay, I'm just going to snipe it.
It's Legionnaires who are parents, leaving out the Adult Legion story (which would add in Lu, Chuck, Vi, Ayla, and Brin).
oh duh, that's why Lydda is in it!
EDE slips in for the win. Yes it is the legionnaires who have had kids, apart from the Adventure era Adult Legion.
Saturn Girl/Lightning Lad - Original, 5YL
Cosmic Boy/(Night Girl) - 5YL
Laurel Gand/Rond Vidar - 5YL
Phantom Girl/Ultra Boy - Reboot
Superboy(man)/(Lois Lane) - Convergence
Mon-El/? - Four boot
In the Adult Legion story we had Phantom Woman/Ultra Man again, Timber Wolf/Light Lady, Shrinking Violet/(Duplicate Man), and Bouncing Boy/Duo Damsel. (Although Cosmic Man/Night Girl and Star Boy/Dream Girl were shown as married they were not shown to have offspring.)
I hope everyone had fun with this one. I was a bit unsure because of the exclusions but we got there in the end.
As an aside, interestingly Jon Kent marks the first time that a legionnaire's offspring has also become a legionnaire - even if in a different continuity (and assuming that Saturn Girl misspoke when first inviting Supergirl to join and claimed her legionnaires were the children of the legionnaires Superboy had met).
I'd actually been thinking that for awhile whenever I looked at this thread, but when I saw the final list, I knew that had to be it!
Anyway, I have a list of six Legionnaires, one of whom would probably more often be thought of as a "Legion ally" rather than a Legionnaire proper.
Oh that was really good, EDE! I was trying to think of parents at one stage but I was trying so hard to think of some obscure story where Superman had a kid in main continuity that it never occurred to me Jon exists right now
(also, my brain reserves the right to never acknowledge the existence of Cub again so Tinya/Jo got by me as well lol)
I was thinking married legionnaires.
I probably won't be able to finish this round (not that I've done too well on any rounds recently) but six

Sorry to ask this but I am messing up somewhere. I have been through every combination of the top three on our recent lists (Cham, Gim and Mon) being in or out and I can't make it match to previous list answers. I always end up with a contradiction or more than 6 required to make up the numbers.
Would you mind checking back on all your answers please?
Pretty please?

Sorry, it looks like I messed up a couple of rounds ago.
This list:

I'm going to call it 6 for stile, even though it's actually Proty II rather than Proty.
Can he guess the connection now?
I wondered whether to specify Proty I or II.
Well it certainly isn't the ability to change size which we have had recently and excludes Mon-El and Cosmic Boy anyway.
Nope. I've got nothing. Someone else have a go.
Are these Legionnaires that have impersonated Jimmy Olsen?
I seem to remember a story where Bouncing Boy = Fat Boy, Cosmic Boy = Porcupine Jimmy (using his magnetism to shoot quills), Colossal Boy = Turtle Boy, Chameleon Boy = Werewolf Jimmy... Proty did someone who did not talk...
You've got the right story in mind, so I'll give it to you.
These were the Legionnaires who participated in Jimmy's initiation into the Legion.
Mon-el played the Collector, who was assembling different Jimmy identities.
Rokk was Porcupine Jimmy, Chuck was Fat Jimmy Gim was Giant Turtle Boy, Cham was Elastic Lad, and Proty II(in his first appearance) was the Wolfman.
One of the clues was that Giant Tutrle Boy talked while the usually noisy Wolfman was silent.
Over to you, Ibby.
That was one of the first Adventure Era stories I ever read
I thought it was quite interesting (and also thought, wow, Jimmy must be quite fit to be impersonated by a shirtless Cos!)
I think Jimmy figured it out in the end, and Superboy was in on it, pretending to be weakened the whole time or something.
will think of a group in a bit...
I am thinking of 3 Legionnaires
Oh now I remember that one. That was a fun story! Well done Ibby and good pick EDE.

I was in a rush when I thought about this, and went for an easy one
Obviously the connection is that Ayla hit on them all and made them really uncomfortable, Rokk and Dyrk just never talk about it is all (j/k it's magnets yo)
lol! indeed magnets and being Braalian
I can imagine Ayla hitting on Dyrk at least tho
Lightning and magnetism seem like pretty complimentary powers, they would have been a fun couple!

latest batch of guesses

curious what your idea was, raz, for those 4!
I was wondering if maybe it was members who had a link to the past as part of their background (Mon with Superboy, Umbra with her shadow champion thing, Apparition/Phase and XS/Flash)....let me get my conspiracy board back out again hahaha

Is it reboot Legionnaires who all wore capes? (I don't count Kon-El because even though he wore the OG Superboy costume it's not like he was a regular member of the team or that was his regular costume)
yes! you got it. And if I am right, reboot Legionnaires who always wore capes with their costume -
Also did not count Superboy as he was not a full active Reboot Legionnaire, but also because he had costumes without capes.
if being strict, Kinetix and Monstress had capes in exactly one issue, LSH 100, and only for part of it
and Dreamer sometimes had a cape, sometimes not, I need to change exactly when she did and not. But she definitely sometimes had a cape.
I did actually consider Dreamer as well, but hers always seemed like more of a fashionable space pashmina type deal anyway lol
okay, I am not sure if this one's been done before or not but I am thinking of 5 Legionnaires!
yeah, I wasn't sure how to classify that cape thing of Dreamer's. thankfully, she didn't always have it on so that was my out lol

nice pick, raz! it's a great story, I really liked it - having a smaller cast made it easy to focus on the action. the original Legion Lost lol

I also have no clue what a blind reindeer is. are you a reindeer, stile?
(I'm sure you got this but just in case: What do you call a blind reindeer? No Eye Deer - just say it.)
Good going raz. Give us the answer.
They were the first 5 UP draft recruits to the Reboot Legion, right? When stile got the first 3, the first thing I could think of was they'd all joined round the same time!
you got it!!
(I'm sure you got this but just in case: What do you call a blind reindeer? No Eye Deer - just say it.)
haha I like this pun, stile
Good going raz. When I saw your 5 I thought of that too but not before.

5 out of 5! Have you got the connection now?
whoa well that was unexpected!
I was just guessing Legionnaires who had not been guessed yet
no clue actually...
I have a feeling they were in a story/mission together somewhere, but cannot figure out what.
I have a feeling they were in a story/mission together somewhere, but cannot figure out what.
or maybe...they turned out
not to be in a story/mission together somewhere...
i've eliminated join order, costumes, code names... I got nothing lol. it's not hair color... powers....?
I'm stuck too. I thought about did they all go a bit nuts at some point (Cos in late 5YL, Jan in Reboot Lost, arguably Vi under the Eye, but not the others and Brainy should also be included) or lost their powers (but again not all of them and should include many others like Sun Boy and Bouncing Boy). I wondered about their introductions, like not letting on their true identities at first but doesn't cover Tinya and again would include others like Mon-El.
lol sorry y'all!
Would it help if I said the thing that links them all together happened in a mini-series rather than the main title?
oooh. still struggling though, how many minis were there.... think think think
Total guess here. Were they involved with Karate Kid in the 20th Century during his solo run?
Total guess here. Were they involved with Karate Kid in the 20th Century during his solo run?
Not Karate Kid or the 20th century....Saturn Girl would be able to tell you what the connection is if that helps!
Did they appear in Doomsday Clock?
Nope! Do you want me to give it up or are y'all happy guessing still?
Maybe it'll help narrow it down to think more Apparition, Leviathan and Spark rather than Phantom Girl, Shrinking Violet and Lightning Lass?
Happy to guess a bit more
thanks.
I also considered other boots, but still stumped to be honest. Need to think a bit more. I can?t recall an SW6 or Reboot grouping that included this bunch? At least, not as a guest appearance?
It?s not the SW6 team that guested in Valor, or the Reboot team that visited Superboy or Impulse?
Vi as LeViathan? You would think that would narrow it down but it also leads into a lesser known era for me.
Ibby can keep guessing as long as he likes but I'm stuck.
OH DUH now it clicks, these are the fake Legionnaires Saturn Girl conjured up in Legion Lost!
Apparition was "there all along', while Cos/ Ayla / Vi / Jan were in Legion Lost 7-8!
the mini-series clue actually threw me off, I considered mentally that Legion Lost and Worlds were main series books because they were the only books at the time... I was thinking of mini in terms of Legends of the Legion / Legionnaires 3!
I totally forgot that Imra "conjured up" other legionnaires besides Apparition.
OH DUH now it clicks, these are the fake Legionnaires Saturn Girl conjured up in Legion Lost!
YES! Good work! I had to go back and check who was in the group of 4 that popped up conveniently to rescue them so many times to make sure I didn't accidentally put the wrong characters in lol
Man, I love Imra but it would be so hard to trust her again after something like that woooh.....ball is in your court, IB!
nice clues, raz. and yeah, Imra deservedly had to deal with some fallout from that... and as Candi said, it would not have gone so far if she hadn't already been messing with their heads with her fake Tinya.
ok let's see...
I'm thinking of 3 Legionnaires
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
(Got it in one! That was easy! For sure! Absolutely! No Doubt about it!)
I'm gonna try that group Mark II aka
Magnetic Kid
Tellus

Ohh no. Really! Oh well. How about ..
Triplicate Girl
By herself. She counts as 3 legionnaires, doesn't she?

lol stile, sadly that/s 0/3
but raz has 3/3! and may guess the connection
oh wow that was quick! It's the newbies who joined the SW6 Legion!
Maintaining the long Legion tradition of screwing over the Academy kids for new characters who can barely control their own powers
(I love the three of 'em but poor Crystal Kid lol)
Good job raz. I would have like to see more of these three, particularly Computo. I looked her up on the dc wiki and apparently she had 33 appearances which is surprising until you realise about half of them are her lying comatose while Brainy fails once a again to cure her. Lol.
Crystal Kid, yeah. Who will sign the "Redemption for Crystal kid" petition?
Who will sign the "Redemption for Crystal kid" petition?

Hmm all I've got is ladies who've kissed Bouncing Boy on panel but somehow I doubt I'm right
That? is? a brilliant connection!
I agree - brilliant connection! But sadly not the one I am thinking of.
So 2 of Raz's 3 legionnaires are correct. Which two and who is the third?
hmmmm let's try.....
Triad
Comet Queen
Timber Wolf?
raz: 1
Ibby: 2
Ibby can guess the connection.
still stumped...
but it will come I'm sure
Triad
Dream Girl
Shrinking Violet

OK I think this going to take a while, so hint time.
I thought of this connection after a recent Trivia question.
ah good clue! is the link, Legionnaires who have used Brainiac 5's forcefield belt?
so
Triad
Dream Girl
Supergirl ?
Yes you got it!
I wondered if there were any others I had missed but those were the only three I could think of.
Your turn Ibby.
that was a good round, stile! And clever work, IB!
nice connection stile, and nice clue! thanks raz, I had to look up the trivia thread to get the forcefield connection
but Lu and Nura clicked re it, so guessing Supergirl was easy !
I can't believe I forgot Lu had used Brainy's forcefield when I just wrote a story about her doing it again lol
OK, I am thinking of 5 Legionnaires.

(although I think maybe stile's got all 5 if it is what I think it is!)
stile - 4/5!
raz - 4/5!
both of you may guess the connection
raz, you may have the right story, but in that story there was some splitting up going on...
I will say that many of those guessed are in the same story, but there was something else distinct that broke it down
Spark
Kinetix
Triad
Brainiac 5
Monstress
I am shooting in the dark. Go for it raz if you have an idea.
I am just guessing but if it's from later on in the reboot I'm thinking maybe it's from Zoe's terrorform days...were they the Legionnaires who made it through to the end when Brainy and Computo had their showdown at the end of the Computo/Robotica story?
stile - 4/5
raz - nope, you're thinking a bit too far.
hint: this was during the Outpost days and involved a bad experiment by Brainy (surprise)
hint 2: the 5th correct Legionnaire has not been guessed yet
Spark
Kinetix
Triad
Brainiac 5

oooh I think this mighta been during my non-Legion reading days, I don't actually know most of the Outpost stuff....maybe something to do with the Anywhere Machine?
I am gonna guess:

Thunder
you are definitely thinking of the right era. though the connection is not the anywhere machine
raz - 4/5
Spark
Kinetix
Triad
Brainiac 5
Andromeda
OKAY I THINK I GOT IT! Or I am at least in close proximity
Spark
Kinetix
Triad
Brainiac 5
M'Onel
I am guessing this solely by what I can pick up from a comic book panel on a Legion blog because I've never read this story lol....but did they help round up the rest of the Legion after Brainy turned everyone into Bizarros?
raz has the 5 - and close enough! it was indeed the Bizarro story - specifically, the 5 Bizarro Legionnaires who tried to kill RJ Brande so the Bizarro Legion would have their own origin!
Other Bizarros -
Violet was left behind clutching the Outpost like a teddy bear
Live Wire, Ferro, Karate Kid and Dyrk Magz were left behind and Bizarrofied after
Invisible Kid was the sole escapee who didn't get a Bizarro version
this story was also the source of one of my fave quotes ever.
Biz Triad; Triad, you think you am so big, you can split into three! That am stupid power!
Triad: you got a better one?
Biz Triad: do math, stupid! three girls helpless against three-thirds of girl!
WOOHOO!
I wish the Legion had more Bizarro stories, I never met a Bizarro I didn't like
Okay y'all, I am thinking of 3 Legionnaires!
Bizarro am not funny...

This is it! I am guessing you know the connection as well!
The 3 "replacement Legionnaires" for the founders?
Yep! It was when Ayla was in her thankfully short-lived "creeping after my brother's friend's little brother" phase
Actually now that I think about it, I may have used this before...this trio of Legionnaires is very dynamic in my mind, I always wish we saw more of them - but you're up now IB!
nice connection, raz
ok lessee....
I am thinking of 4 Legionnaires!

stile - 3/4! may still guess the connection
Ferro Lad
Princess Projectra
Karate Kid
Nemesis Kid
The famous four introduced and inducted into the Legion in Adventure Comics #346 "One of Us is a Traitor".
you got it, stile!
i was not sure whether Nemesis Kid could be considered, but I checked the rules and did not see anything excluding Legion traitors from consideration.... but I also guessed that Andy, Jeckie and Val had so little in common that Hart would be a logical 4th once the trio was established
I think Legion traitors are as much a part of the Legion as Legionnaires, they have to be included
Nice one stile!
I don't tend to think of him as a legionnaire but he certainly was one, just as much as his fellow inductees. Absolutely valid.
New group soon.
Ok I am thinking of a group of 8 legionnaires.
8! woohoo!
Okay, let's try:
Andromeda
Superboy (Kal)
Superboy (Kon)
Superboy (Jon)
Supergirl
Mon-El
Ultra Boy
Kent Shakespeare
Ooh big groups are nice!
Kinetix

Kid quantum II

Yes big groups have their advantages, making it more likely to get a hit.
Also great pick for a group raz, I really like it.
Having said that ...

Triplicate Girl
Invisible Kid I

Ibby has all 8!
Now can he guess the connection?
Wow! Thanks guys - all that checking on old guesses paid off lol
Now I wish I knew…
Are these the first 8 Legionnaires bonked on the head by the Planetary Chance Machine to take on those zany old men on Throon?
Ha! No - although it could be correct, I haven't checked.
You are in the right era and it does involve a particular adventure.
Good start at least
hmmm adventures with this group..
Did it involve COMPUTO? Were these the Legionnaires held hostage by COMPUTO?
Bingo! Well done Ibby. I thought that would take a bit longer and require more clues but you sussed it out.
It actually takes a careful reading of the two issues to determine who has been captured inside those bubbles. Brainy of course is first. At the end of Adventure #340 we can see Element Lad, Sun Boy and Cosmic Boy clearly, as well as a partially covered Star Boy and a female who looks like Saturn Girl. We also see Lightning Lad captured although not in a bubble. In #341 we see Star Boy and Sun Boy freed, and finally in the rescue Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad and Invisible Kid. Presumably Element Lad was rescued at the same time. In addition we see all the rest of the Legionnaires amongst the never-captured group (although Element Lad also seems to appear here at the end of Part 1 - maybe he escaped at the same time as Star Boy and Sun Boy?).
Anyway good guessing Ibby. Your turn.
oooh nice! to be honest, I just remembered that Brainy was captured, and that we had some Legionnaires trying to save Star Boy and Sun Boy while they were making quips (I think Colossal Boy smashed their COMPUTO captors together?), and I know Lightning Lad was indeed captured.
nice clue, stile!
lessee...
I am on vacation now so will give an easy one,
I am thinking of 3 Legionnaires
That was a good one stile, I always associate Triplicate Girl with Computo so I would never have gotten that hahahaha
Good one IB!!

Not fast enough for me. Let's try the shotgun method.

hmmm
wild guess
Brainiac 5

Blok Invisible Kid II
are these the Legionnaires who first encountered post-Crisis Superman who was never Superboy, and are also meant to be analogs of the Fantastic Four?
Oh of course. Those four were fantastic!
IB, you are correct!

I have never actually read this issue, the cover has just always stayed with me as a great FF homage and also a homage to the cover where the FF faced one of Marvel's Superman analogues, Gladiator! (which was also by Byrne...Byrneception!!!!)
Oh of course. Those four were fantastic!
I see what you did there
It was realizing that the last two (after Brainy and Dirk) would be newer Legionnaires, that made me click on this quartet. also helpful that Dirk wasn't a Reboot Legionnaire, that narrowed it down...
ok, I am thinking of a group of 7 Legionnaires.

raz - 6/7! almost there...
Hint: number 7 has not been guessed yet.
I'm gonna throw out a guess - is it the reboot Legionnaires who faced the Durlan Composite Man first time around?
good guess, but no - the first battle with the Composite Man had pretty much the entire team by then, so nearly double the list of 7
I can't think so let's try to get number 7.

I was thinking the team that first went in to the past to figure out how to free Valor but that team included Triad and not Apparition. Close but no cigar.
yup, close but no cigar. thanks for pointing it out though, cool how the composition was similar...
still 6/7
Well that leaves this as the only possible list.

I'm going to need some clue though to figure the connection. My lack of knowledge of the Reboot is once again my downfall. Unfortunately I wasn't able to keep up with the readthrough a few months back.
you got it 7/7!
clue.... it was a very bleak time for the time. these seven went somewhere nobody is expected to return...
That sounds like ... the Legion of the Damned. Did these seven go into the Blight to rescue their world and their teammates?
YOU GOT IT! the 7 last free Legionnaires (well, XS and Imra were captured but escaped) who voluntarily infiltrated the Blight Stem!
Thanks for the clue. Guess I can remember some things.
I am thinking of a group of 7 legionnaires who have something in common.

slowly getting better, there are ups and downs but still overall better than the first day with symptoms

Bingo! All 7 correct. Now Ibby what is the connection?
Ah finally! But now I have to think of the connection … hmmm a tough one!
Well, it’s not capes…
Is it legionnaires who have had a letter on their costume?
The S for the Super twins,
Shady had an S closing her cape
P for Phanty,
E for E-Lad
The I for invisible kid
And the Fe for Ferro Lad
?
That's it! These are all the Legionnaires who had a costume featuring the first letter of their code-name. (Ferro Lad actually had Fe the chemical symbology for Ferro/Iron but close enough.)
Your turn.
Awesome connection

I actually can't remember what I thought my last 4 had in common now lol
But I'll take a guess, is it Legion women who have never been married in any continuity?
Didn't Dreamy (or her ghost) marry Brainy in Threeboot or was that just her joke earlier?
Anyway I thought of legionnaires whose power was changed but that would have included Jeckie so no go.
Let's try scatter shot:
Invisible Kid II
White Witch
Polar Boy
Magnetic Kid II (Pol)
Didn't Dreamy (or her ghost) marry Brainy in Threeboot or was that just her joke earlier?
I am not 100% on that to be honest....I remember she definitely came back, but not whether they got married or not so I was just hoping for luck to be on my side really lol

oof....all I had was superheroines who have gone from having two codenames to one (eg: Dream Girl to Dreamer, Shadow Lass to Umbra etc) but in hindsight that excludes a couple others who would fit that category so I dunno!
Stile - 0/4
You actually have it raz - or close enough - it’s female Legionnaires who got a new code name in the Reboot!
Ayla got Spark
Vi got Leviathan for a bit
And Umbra and Dreamer
I left off Sensor because some people argue Projectra and Sensor are different Legionnaires, Shikari because of course. The other females either were new to the Reboot (and never changed code names) or had their code name debut in the SW6 era
Close enough so I’m giving it to you
ooh okay that's a good one! Sneaky, the SW6 names threw me off thinking of just codename differences
Okay y'all, I am thinking of 4 Legionnaires!

Congrats, that's all 4!
gasp!!!!
but now... why?? lol
I remember there was a Girls' Night Out type story in v2/v3, where four female Legionnaires beat up some crooks... but I think it was Projectra, not Phantom Girl, who was there...
hmm what about... Adventure-era female Legionnaires who dated, but didn't marry, male Legionnaires? but then, Supergirl should also be here, drat. and Tasmia did marry Lar while he was on life support...
i'm stuck lol
If it helps, it's more about something they have in common across all reboots (not counting Elseworlds and random cameo appearances from alternate realities etc)
hmm thanks, that helps a tad. thinking, thinking... will come back to this later
need a bit more time to think
Next clue (well maybe more of a refining of the first clue):
when I say it is something they have in common across all reboots, I am only comparing them to other female Legionnaires who have also appeared in every boot as well (ie: only looking at female Legionnaires who have been in the classic, reboot, threeboot, retroboot AND Bendisboot Legions) - so that should narrow down the pool of characters to compare them to anyway!
thanks! that does help, which means I can narrow down the comparison pool to Imra, Vi, maybe Jeckie, Lu...
Also I will say that the thing they have in common is a very superficial thing...
I don’t feel lucky yet
Phantom Girl
Light Lass
Dream Girl
Shadow Lass
Congrats, that's all 4!
I've been thinking about it, and about what could be superficial, but...
it's not capes (Ayla didn't have one),
Hair color (nothing in common among them),
Code names (cannot think of a pattern that they fit but other ladies do not),
Powers (also cannot think of a connection re powers changing / being lost...)
Real names, nope...
yeah I'm kinda stuck
I'm not coming up with anything either, or at least nothing that fits all four and excludes others.
It isn't capes, but you're on the right track thinking about fashion choices!
It's not hairbands... or hair style...
It is something to do with what they wear (or maybe more accurately choose NOT to wear)...
oh, are these Legion ladies who have never worn a skirt?
Imra, Vi and Lu have had skirts before...
though I cannot remember Jeckie wearing a skirt...
Bingo! I was only counting Legion ladies who have appeared across all of the different 'boots, and we haven't really been counting Jeckie and Sensor as the same character when it comes up so I figured that covered me
All yours, IB!
ah nice! very nice bit raz!!!
ok... I am thinking of 9 Legionnaires
Good job Ibby. I got as far as maybe bare legs or midriff but that didn't work so well done.
9! Well that will help us get some hits quicker probably.

Thanks, stile! It was tough but raz's clues helped me, and it all just clicked after I started visualizing their costumes.
The Jeckie/Sneckie thing also makes sense, as indeed depending on whom one asks, they are counted as same or as different Legionnaires

I thought of the team stranded in the 20th Century but I t's not quite right.
oh but it is! you got it, 8/8 stile! that's the team! I included Triad, she joined late but was still stranded. I excluded Ferro as he came FROM the 20th century. And Shvaughn and female Inferno were not full Legionnaires, so off the list.
good going stile
Triad? Really? I have got to reread the Reboot! (It is starting to happen.)
I am thinking of a group of 7 legionnaires.

Time for a clue methinks.
A bit cryptic but there is a clue in the very first list Ibby posted where only two were correct. How are they different from the others?
Cosmic Boy
Live Wire
Saturn Girl
Apparition
Triad
Chameleon
XS
Also Dream Girl and Star Boy "almost" fit but not quite.
thanks, stile. it's a good clue, but it isn't leading me anywhere yet. although...
let's try...
Shrinking Violet
Brainiac 5
Matter-Eater Lad
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Ultra Boy
with the guess: SW6 Legionnaires who did NOT change their Adventure Era code names?
Live Wire, Apparition, Triad, Leviathan, Chameleon (dropping the Boy), Andromeda, Inferno, Gossamer, Alchemist, Ferro, Valor (special case due to retcon). Star Boy, Dream Girl and Bouncing Boy WOULD have counted except they were not in the SW6 batch originally, and Karate Kid and Projectra were killed before the team re-branded...
this also fits your "not an adventure BUT a definite point in time" clue
^^^I think that might be it! Good thinking IB!
Thanks raz
it took a bit of thinking but…
Absolutely spot on Ibby! Well done!
I was somewhat amused when your very first list had two old names and 5 new ones, from the Reboot with XS but it still pointed out the difference.
Your turn.
(That was some very good thinking indeed - maybe you should be using the Brainiac avatar - oh wait! I am talking to Invisible Brainiac!)
LOL thanks stile, this was a great connection, and your clues were well done - a bity cryptic, but totally pointed in the right direction! and yeah, that very first guess of mine was very illuminating in hindsight
TBH Tenzil's presence on that list was the big clue, because he wasn't a Legionnaire for such a long time. and cross that with Lyle who was also dead for a while...
now I have to think of a group! think think think....
I am thinking of 7 Legionnaires.

7/7 stile well done! Any guess on the connection ?
Nope. No idea. I can't think of anything that connects them.
Hint: it relates to something they contributed to the team
Were they all Reboot leaders? (Not sure about Lyle and I feel like the list is incomplete but maybe?)
you got it, stile! that's what I was thinking of. Lyle was elected in Legionnaires 45, and stayed until Legionnaires 59
not sure who would be missing, can't think of any off the top of my head
Wow. Ok. I keep saying I need to reread the Reboot (and it is coming - around the Chronos incident at the moment) and yet I still manage to get it right on occasion. There is apparently still a lot of it lodged in my tiny little mind somewhere.
New group up soon.
It's buried in your memory
glad you'e rereading - if you're so inclined hope you can join us in the various Reboot reread threads, stile! Would love to hear your thoughts
Ok I am thinking of a group of 13 (!) legionnaires with something in common.
This is restricted to original version pre FYL, because otherwise it just became too huge a group.
oooh this is fun! and thanks for narrowing it down.
Hmm...

Is this too hard, with too many options in such a large group? Even with your strategy of using ones you know don't fit this is still proving a bit cumbersome. Four legionnaires are yet to be guessed.
I have thought of a way of cutting down the group to 5 if you would rather go with that, so I could supply new numbers for the guesses given so far with the restricted criteria - or just start with the new list. What do you think?
oh I'm fine to continue, slow and steady wins the race
and don't worry, I am having fun, and am treating it as a bit of a personal challenge. though if you and/or raz wnt to go for the list of 5, go ahead.
though I'm getting the hunch that some of the 15 were not Active Legionnaires, but rather Honorary?

Hi all, I am okay with the larger group - I have been offline this week with a boring flu, but I'm back in the game now!
Okay let me try:
Supergirl
Shrinking Violet
Shadow Lass
Kid Quantum (James)
Pete Ross
Jimmy Olsen
Command Kid
Dynamo Boy
Kid Psycho
Ferro Lad
Nemesis Kid
Insect Queen
Rond Vidar
Chemical King
Chameleon Girl
glad you're better, raz!!
On we go then, but I will concede that there is at least one honorary member in the list. However there is still my starting restriction to only considering the original Legion from the Silver Age up to the Magic Wars, no 5YL and no Retroboot. So Chameleon Girl for example is out as although she is a character from the correct period she was not a legionnaire during that time. I will also add that the Expelled members such as Command Kid, Nemesis Kid etc are also excluded.
Ibby: 4
raz: 4
Thanks for clarifying, stile. I thought for sure I'd gotten more than 4 with that last one! hopefully the eliminations can help me...
Can you confirm that I still had 5 here in this original guess, stile?

raz has all but one legionnaire. Can raz tell us what they have in common?
I threw Quislet in there because I was blanking on the 15th character but I just remembered Cos's famous mancorset costume didn't have pants either - is it all the Legionnaires who have had bare legged costumes?
wow, I am impressed, raz! good going!
Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Spot on raz. Well done.
When I first came up with the category I thought there would only be a few but the list grew and grew. I initially excluded Tellus as it is unclear if you would really call his rear limbs legs, so that was the first expansion. Then I hadn't thought of Insect Queen so that was another one. I quickly realised that I had to restrict the period as Reboot has more like Kinetix and Jazmin, and then Chameleon Girl was mentioned and one of her costumes also has the bare thigh/high boots look. Infectious Lass was almost another but she only became a legionnaire (sort-of) in 5YL.
The smaller group of 5 would have been male originals - Cos ("I'm letting it all hang out, but aren't the boots cool!"), Tyroc, Blok, Tellus (?), and Gim (with his much derided bare leg look).
If I have another large category I will find a way to restrict it. I think 15 is just a bit too big.
Take it away raz.
I see now I got stuck wrongly with Mon-El... it should have been Light Lass correct then, and Vi and Tasmia after. bad Ibby, good thinking raz, and nice link stile!
Yeah, that was a good link! I think once I saw how many Legionnaire ladies were in the list it got me thinking maybe hair or costume was involved
I will have a think about it and come up with something in the next day or so!
Okay, I've got it!
I am thinking of 3 Legionnaires!
Dates? Is that the (in)famous legionnaire with the power to date every other member of the group?
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
LOL dates is another name for three boot Light Lass
Hahaha
But 0/3 for both of y'all!
Superboy (Kal-El)
Superboy (Kon-El)
Superboy (Jon)
IB: 0/3
stile: you got 2 of them and you actually just made me realise that my group has 4 Legionnaires in it! You can guess the connection if you like!
oooh nicely done!
Superboy (Kal-El)
Superboy (Kon-El)
Supergirl
Comet
Wow, I didn't actually expect that. Hmmm.
Superboy (Kal-El)
Superboy (Jon)
Supergirl
Mon-El (Fourboot)
Kryptonians in the Legion? (excluding Connor as a clone perhaps).
IB: 3/4
stile: That's all 4!
The link is not that they're all Kryptonians, although that is a clever connection...I forgot Fourboot Mon-El is a Kryptonian!
Just to eliminate any red herrings, I will also say that it's not the
Fourboot version of Mon-El that is part of this group.....
Hmm. In various versions they were all considered inspirations for the Legion?
Kal - original; Valor(Mon-El) - 5YL; Supergirl - Threeboot (not sure if that was stated); Jon - Fourboot.
Not inspirations, but you are on the right path that it's something they all have in common from way before the Legion was formed
Had a heroic career before joining the Legion?
This is tricky, trying to think of something that includes Jon but excludes Connor.
Perhaps they were instrumental in the formation of the United Planets, Mon-El as Valor and the other three in the Fourboot setting?
IB is getting closer....it is something they all have in common from being superheroes prior to the Legion being formed...
...having said that, 3 of them were Legionnaires first before they did this other thing (ie: Kal was
Superboy in the Legion of Superheroes before he did this other thing as
Superman)
(also stile, that is another good connection and I'm realising now just how weird it is that these 4 have so many similarities)
Agh time travel lol
Did they all meet Legionnaires in the 20th century?
Hmm
Died? No Connor did that and Jon hasn't.
Spent time in the Phantom Zone? Well yes but so have other legionnaires.
Were members of the Justice League? Not sure about Supergirl and Mon/Valor though. Wait, Supergirl was part of Justice League United. Valor certainly worked with them, and Jon is now reforming a JL.
OK that's my guess - they were legionnaires who were also Justice Leaguers.

Bingo!
Good deducing! Superboy obviously became Superman and formed the League...Supergirl and Mon-El joined during James Robinson's run...and Jon has got his current day League going
All yours, stile!

Hmmm....I was thinking Legionnaires who have changed their powerset at some point? I had to interpret that pretty broadly to include some of them though (eg: Jacques having and then losing his weird teleportation power)

Hmmm....I was thinking Legionnaires who have changed their powerset at some point? I had to interpret that pretty broadly to include some of them though (eg: Jacques having and then losing his weird teleportation power)
Spot on raz (and yes I was a bit iffy about whether to include Jacques or not).
So the win goes to raz and here are the correct legionnaires that have been guessed so far:
Lightning Lass (lightning to weightloss to lightning)
Princess Projectra (illusions to sensing)
Triplicate Girl (not so much the Three to Two to One but more the Force Field power - and I guess Johns' Infinite number)
White Witch (Little tricky but when she absorbed Mordru I think her magical powers changed along with her appearance)
Invisible Kid II (Teleportation powers that were taken away)
Apparition (duplicationg powers in Reboot from her merger with her other Carggite self)
Andromeda (Light? powers from the Anomoly)
Kinetix (so many changes)
Shrinking Violet (to LeViathon)
Dream Girl (Threeboot from forecasting to appearing in Dreams)
I had one more on the list and it is a quite well known situation too, Can anyone guess it?
nice connection stile, nice guessing raz,
I was thrown off a bit by the White Witch (did not think about that!) and Apparition (after she merged with Phase, she could not really duplicate - though it would have been cool if she could have astral-projected her other self away? hmm, idea...)
last one:
Brainiac 5 (Reboot self gets internal forcefield powers through the Anomaly)?
Last one is Starboy?
But wouldn’t Kal count do to the Superman blue electric powers?
I wondered about Brainy after the Reboot but wasn't sure if the force field bit was really a part of him or more just stuck to his forehead instead of his waist.
Star Boy is the one I was thinking of with his original Superboy-like powers before his gravity powers.
I hadn't thought of Kal and his blue electric phase. Might be others I missed too.
Anyway your turn raz.
idle swoops in to complete the (original) set
I do think this is one of those categories where, if we dig around long enough, we might find others
True...Timber Wolf/Furball is another one that just occurred to me, and you could probably make a case for Wildfire with his different containment suits/possessing Sun Boy's corpse as well!
I will have a think and come up with a new group soon!
I thought about Brin, but it seemed that although he went through numerous changes in appearance (and apparently mentation) his power set stayed basically the same. Wildfire however possessing Sun Boy's corpse, that might count.
okay y'all, I am thinking of 9 Legionnaires!

That is all of them, nice work stile!
I actually forgot all about Ferro until one of y'all guessed him, but it's only in the reboot that he was from the 20th Century anyway so I feel okay leaving him out....and I didn't count Mon because he still had to get from the 20th Century to the Legion's time the old-fashioned way, he just didn't age while he was doing it - over to you!
Nicely done! I was going to guess the time era but too - that’s why I added Ferro to my guess.. when I saw thunder was likely on, I thought about it

You have the all 9, Ibby.
Good idea about Lois Lane but I remember there was a story in her comic where three female legionnaires helped her out so no.
You still have first guess and I will give a bit of a clue. Think beyond the comics.
Legionnaires who have appeared in Smallville?
That was a good connection, once I saw all 9 I was thinking it would be TV related but Smallville never occurred to me! Nice work, IB!
thanks stile, raz!! stile's clue re thinking beyond comics helped, and I immediately eliminated the cartoons... so it led me to thinking of Smallville

I originally thought it was something to do with the White Triangle, but I don't think M'onel was on the team yet when that went down so it must be something later?
you are correct, it is a bit later than the White Triangle. you're on the right track!
I can't think of a time Laurel and Lar did anything really significant together...did she ever really rejoin the Legion properly after all that Sister Andromeda business?
there were a couple of times. Laurel never properly rejoined the Legion after becoming a nun, until being slipped in in the Titans/Legion story... but...
think earlier in Laurel's career
I think this mighta been when I'd stopped reading because I don't remember it, but apparently Laurel saved M'onel's life just after she became a nun? Is it the team who were involved with that?
Nope that was a 1-1 thing. This is in between that - has to do with one of the team’s greatest victories
hmmm I don't think it is Mordru.....oh wait, I have got it! They are the Legion Rescue Squad, right? From when the Fatal Five formed?
yes you got it!! XS was a last-minute addition when she returned to the 20th century.... and Kinetix isn't part because she arrived independently.
That was a tough one! I totally forgot about Cos's rescue squad!
Okay let me have a brainstorm and I will come up with a new group soon!
okay y'all, I have got a doozy! These 5 Legionnaires have something in common!
I guess it won’t be
Polar Boy
Quislet
Tellus
Sensor Girl
Magnetic Kid (Pol)
Then
Probably not
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Livewire
Triad
Apparition
either
Nope! 0/5 for both of you!
Chameleon
Leviathan (Gim)
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
XS
Brainiac 5
Sun Boy
Shrinking Violet
Bouncing Boy
Ultra Boy
Mon-El
The plot thickens!
Wildfire
Dawnstar

White Witch
Some more eliminations - 0/5!
Polar Boy
Night Girl
Fire Lad
Chlorophyll Kid
Stone Boy
Pete Ross
Kid Psycho
Insect Queen
Elastic Lad
Rond Vidar
Star Boy
Element Lad
Shadow Lass
Andromeda
Supergirl

IB has 2/5, BUT.....
stile has got them all! And I am sure knows exactly what the link is!
wow! impressive, and I think I know the link too!
The statues of deceased heroes from the cover of the first Adult Legion story in Adventure Comics #354.
The statues of deceased heroes from the cover of the first Adult Legion story in Adventure Comics #354.
Correct!
I thought as soon as someone got 3 of them it'd be obvious, so good job getting it just from 2....take it away!
Nicely done
There were so many eliminations that the possibilities for matching the clues was getting pretty limited. Once I figured probably both Ferro Lad and Chemical King, and Shadow Lass fitting with that, it seemed pretty likely.
I am thinking of a group of three legionnaires.
okay, let's get it out the way
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
raz that was so quick! Well done! - just kidding. Sorry.
Ibby - 0
raz - 0
One of these days the founders will get their time to shine
How about:
Dream Girl
Karate Kid I
Chameleon Boy
?
haha the Mayavale trio!
I will try
Wildfire
Dawnstar
Blok
Brainiac 5
Superboy (Kal-El)
Supergirl
Mon-El
Andromeda
Shadow Lass
Ibby - 0
The whittling continues.
Lightning Lass
Tellus
Magnetic Kid (Pol)
Ibby - 0
raz - 0
Considering the number of legionnaires and the small number in this group it is perhaps not surprising that we have no hits yet. Still, in the way of a backhanded clue, I expected that this would be the result for a while.
Computo
Catspaw
Dragonmage
Thanks for the clue
Bingo!
These three don't get a lot of attention and seem to have disappeared through the cracks of the various reboots which is a shame as I think they all had something unique to offer and the character development they were given was intriguing.
Your turn Ibby.
Nice!! Yeah sadly they are so “new” relative to the Adventure era and 70s/80s additions that they tend to be ignored during the succeeding reboots
Though Dragonmage had a bit of focus in the Reboot, and COMPUTO (as a non powered Danielle) and Catspaw both made cameos at least
OK I am thinking of 5 Legionnaires
Let's start with my standard opening
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
Triplicate Girl
Phantom Girl
Good character picks (and good guessing)!
I liked the 3 newbies, it's a shame that version of the Legion didn't hang around long enough to really make an impact. And maybe if we kept Catspaw hanging around as the token feral character it might let Timber Wolf off the hook...but anywho, I am gonna guess:
Phantom Girl
Element Lad
Chameleon Boy
Ultra Boy
Shrinking Violet
That’s a 5/5 for raz so I’m guessing this will be a short round!
oh hahaha lucky I picked the right one of the five to go with!
Is it the 5 Legionnaires who got yanked by that Controller to stop Tyrraz after they prevented him from making his Sun-Eater?
Totally and over to you raz!
Thanks!
Okay, I am thinking of 3 Legionnaires who have something in common!
Brainiac 5
Supergirl
Superboy (Kal)
Live Wire

(Wait I already did that joke)

IB: 1/3

Cosmic Boy
Ultra Boy
MON-El
Lightning Lad
Lightning Lass
Lightning Lord
IB: 0/3
stile: 2/3 and you may guess the connection!
wow, nice!!
let's see if we ccan get the 3rd...
Lightning Lad
Lightning Lass
Ferro Lad
Hmm - a few thoughts but not sure yet. Let's try a shotgun approach ...
Sun Boy
White Witch
Storm Boy
IB: 2/3 (although I will say the 3rd one could kinda sorta be considered as a bizarro world contender)
stile: 0/3!
I think this will all make sense in hindsight
Element Lad
Bouncing Boy
Shadow Lass
Well that eliminates redheads and lightning bolts on costumes ...
Colossal Boy
Invisible Kid I (Lyle)
Star Boy
Lightning Lad
Lightning Lass
Star Boy
That's all 3! Do you know the connection?
no lol! um... also thinking about Ferro Lad
I will guess... are these Legionnaires who impersonated someone
Garth as Starfinger
Ayla as Garth
Thom as Sir Prize
but what about Dream Girl as Miss Terious...
They are not Legionnaires who impersonated someone, but you are right to be thinking about the way they look!
Something to do with their hair perhaps?
Can't get unstuck from thinking it was while Ayla impersonated Garth...
Technically their hair is a part of the similarity, but more as a by-product than anything else...you know how I said Ferro Lad could be a bizarro world contender? It might help to think about Jim Shooter's original plan for him...
They all changed skin-colour in various later depictions?
That is the link! Garth and Ayla in the Bendisboot and Thom in the threeboot....Ferro Lad gets an honorary mention because Shooter wanted to make him the first Black Legionnaire back in the day but as we all know that didn't really pan out on page...
(EDIT to clarify - more specifically that the three of them went from white to black, so some of the other Bendis Legion don't fit the category even though they changed to random skin colours as well)
It was the Ferro comment that gave me the clue, and I realised afterwards that I should have been more specific considering the other skin colour changes in the recent art.
Very interesting grouping. Well done.
New group soon.
I am thinking of a group of four legionnaires.
Brainiac 5
Superboy (Kal)
Supergirl

and....Lightning Lass?
Triad
Brainiac 5
Ferro
Karate Kid (Val)
Projectra
raz: 2 - good to see you back!
Ibby: 4!
Ibby may guess at the connection.
Only 1 legionnaire left and they have not yet been guessed.
Triad
Brainiac 5
Karate Kid (Val)
Projectra
Superboy (Kal) ?
are these the Legionnaires who pretended to go mercenary to collect different kinds of currency, in a daring plan to stop some thieves? coincidentally, also the same Legionnaires who were poisoned by rakurga during Brainiac 5's birthday party?
Your second answer is correct. They were those poisoned at Brainiac 5's birthday party in Adventure Comics #378. The mercenary story (which was in the immediately preceding issue Adventure Comics #377) also included Chemical King who was the key to Brainiac 5's whole plan.
Your turn Ibby.
funny how we basically had the same cast in two stories straight eh!
I also like how the poisoning story led to a bunch more Legionnaires heading to Seeris to help stop an invasion
let's see...
I am thinking of 3 Legionnaires
Yes I always liked that Seeris story too.
Let's start with the traditional.
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
it was a nice story

Star Boy
Dream Girl
Shrinking Violet
2/3~ you may guess the connection
Star Boy
Dream Girl
Bouncing Boy
you got 3/3!!! now for the connection
I thought I would have to give up when it suddenly dawned on me. These are the three legionnaires that suddenly appeared as part of the SW6 legionnaires during the time shenanigans of End of an Era.
Boucing Boy replaced Ferro Lad but I can't remember who the others replaced or did they just appear?
yes! you totally got it!
as far as I recall, Star Boy and Dream Girl both just appeared, not replacing anyone
Nice group. Cool connection.
Okay what next? Hmmm.
I am thinking of a group of 5 legionnaires.
yeah, pretty cool connection indeed
Brainiac 5
Supergirl
Superboy (Kal)
Wildfire
Dawnstar
That's an interesting group. I don't see the connection, unless you just picked them at random.
Whatever, you got 2 right!
somewhat random
now to see which 2...
Supergirl
Superboy (Kal)
Kinetix
Gates
XS

That was some good deducting, had me stumped!
For the new group I will say:

Computo II
Sun Boy
Bouncing Boy
Light Lass
0 - except maybe 1? One of these I almost included as a 6th but in the end didn't.
I'm sure that clears things up a lot.
oooh. well that kinda helps, I think it will help more when I figure out the other 2 "real" answers in the 5, and can cross-reference vs. this list!
ok...
Dragonmage
Catspaw
Matter-Eater Lad
Dream Girl
Star Boy
Catspaw
Dragonmage
Matter-Eater Lad
Kinetix

Invisible Kid II
0.
Note: the single hit from a few turns back still has not been identified.
this is the "true" hit among the 5 right (not the one that you almost added as a 6th correct answer)? I'm pretty sure I know who, because I tested the other 4 that I guessed. I just haven't been guessing him because I'm trying the find the 5th correct answer.
Fire Lad
Color Kid
Veilmist
Gold Lantern
Doctor Fate
0.

Makes sense. Good job.
raz: 3
Ibby: 0
raz may guess the connection.
thanks, stile
ok gonna keep guessing... and I have a hunch...
Kent Shakespeare
Star Boy
Kid Quantum II
Wildfire
Dawnstar
I am stumped! But I do think IB is on the right track so I will guess
Star Boy
Kid Quantum II
Wildfire
Dawnstar
Monstress
Ibby: 4
raz: 4
Both of you can guess the connection.
I will add that I had to be careful about the definition of the connection or the list would end up quite large. Under one of the expanded definitions Kent would have been included.
Hmmm.....is it something to do with their skill set?
I feel like maybe they have all shown some degree of skill with astrophysics? (although I am just going off Star Boy's parents being scientists and Dawnstar having experience flying around in space so it's probably a stretch lol)
huh! I thought for sure Kent would make it.
I'm guessing: heroes with a star somewhere on their costume? And Sun Boy was the other one who almost made it because sun = star
though I am a bit stumped, as to why Kid Quantum I wasn't on the list then, so maybe I am wrong...
let's see if I can get number 5 then...
Star Boy
Kid Quantum II
Wildfire
Dawnstar
Devlin O'Ryan
Bingo! Ibby has the complete list of 5 and the correct connection. These 5 legionnaires had a single star on their costume. Devlin was the final one.
Some legionnaires have multiple stars or star fields on their costumes (Kent, later Star Boy, Andromeda, M'Onel). Several have a variation on the star with a tail or streak so more a shooting star (XS, Andromeda again). Kid Quantum I fell into this category as his star was a bit lopsided and had a single point longer out to the side but yes he could easily have been included.
oh, I thought it was stars, I got stuck on Star Boy's starfield costume lol! of course, that's why Andromeda and Kent are out!
I was looking at a list of Legionnaires to puzzle it out,and when I saw Devlin I was like, duh he must be one of them, it's so obvious and unarguably a star!
nice connection, stile!! and nice clue-giving too, the clues helped without making the connection too obvious!
a new one up very soon!
I am thinking of 6 Legionnaires
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
Triplicate Girl
Phantom Girl
Superboy (Kal-El)
Clever idea for a group, stile!
I will go with
Comet Queen
Harmonia
Dragonwing

it might be clearer when the other members are guessed

Chameleon Boy
Shrinking Violet
Sensor
Gates
?
raz: 4/6!! Raz may guess the connection
Oh really? Ha!
Hmmm I thought when I posted that it might be a reboot thing but now I am wondering if Sensor and Gates are the odd ones out!
Maybe try:
Saturn Girl
Phantom Girl
Chameleon Boy
Shrinking Violet
Karate Kid I
Princess Projectra?
assuming Projectra and Sensor are counted as different Legionnaires...
raz: 3/6
and I double checked my answers (since the beginning) to be very sure I counted right!
Sensor
Apparition
Chameleon
Violet
Leviathan
Kinetix
stile: 4/6! may guess the connection
Sensor
Apparition
Chameleon

I think it's the reboot Espionage Squad!
Sensor

Triad
you got it raz, and you have the correct 6!
Oh dopey me! Of course. Somehow I had missed that I previously thought Triad was on the list. Well done raz.
Thanks y'all, I will come up with another group soon!
okay y'all, I am thinking of 4 Legionnaires who have something in common!

Ferro Lad
Karate Kid
Shadow Lass
IB: also 2 out of 4 and you can guess the connection now as well!
Legionnaires who wore masks/faceplates?
Wildfire
Ferro Lad
Sensor Girl
Cosmic Boy (5YL)
I was going for Legionnaires whose faces were fully covered, so Rokk and his dashing matinee idol goatee don't quite fit (and also I totally forgot his mercifully brief stint as Polestar hahaha). You guessed close enough though!
The fourth Legionnaire was Flederweb, and I almost put Shikari in there as well but hers isn't really a mask so much as a carapace.
All yours, IB!
EDIT: also I guess technically Wildfire doesn't HAVE a face, but if he did it would be covered!
yay! I like close enough
it would have taken me a while to get to Flederweb, I was mentally going through a list of Legionnaires...
I am thinking of 5 Legionnaires
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl

Triplicate Girl
Phantom Girl
Sensor Girl

I was going to say legionnaires introduced in first two meetings with Supergirl but that should also include Sun Boy and Brainiac 5, so no I don't know.
raz: 2/5
stile: 3/5!
may still guess the connection
ooh I think I got it actually, but I will see what stile says first!
Take it away raz. I'm still drawing a blank.
Is it....
Chameleon
Leviathan (Gim)
Invisible Lyle
Gates
Kid Quantum (James)
?
Maybe my memory isn't as good as I thought it was hahaha...but is it the first 5 male recruits from the reboot Legion? (not counting Cos and Garth)
very close but nope! hint, review past guesses: you may have latched on to the wrong "correct answer"
Leviathan (Gim)
Kid Quantum I (James)
XS
Chameleon
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Pretty sure that's it. I think I know the reason and raz was SO close. Think I have to wait for a confirmation from Ibby before guessing though.
You have the 5 stile, and you may guess
oh good catch stile, assuming it is what I think it is now that you've got it! I was close but not close enough
The five legionnaires added to the newly formed Reboot Legion by the UP - listed in order of appearance in LSH v4 #62.
yes!you totally got it stile!
That was a good group IB, and good work getting it stile!
Thanks raz
I thought Kid Quantum I might make it trickier
KQI did make it trickier as he is rarely included in groups due to his very brief tenure.
OK, I am thinking of a group of 7 legionnaires.

Just to confirm, the Jeckie/Sensor issue was why the previous answers were depending, but the main answers outside the brackets were considering them as separate individuals.

Is it to do with their pretending to be someone else to the rest of the legionnaires, particularly during their tryouts?
You know what, I'll take it! I had Legionnaires who joined the team under a mystery identity but that's close enough!
The full list was:
Mon-El = Marvel Lad (although now that I think about it, did Marvel Lad actually join? That might be my bad, oops!)
Element Lad = Mystery Lad
Star Boy = Sir Prize
Dream Girl = Miss Terious
Supergirl = Unknown Boy
...and Jeckie as Sensor Girl
All yours, stile!
I was totally of the mark, I was gonna go for orphan Legionnaires!
There's actually a surprising amount of Legion orphans, comics love dead parents
Apparently they make heroes more sympathetic
Thanks raz that's generous. I was so close. I had forgotten about Sir Prize and Miss Terious, thinking instead how Nura had arranged her audition and enrolment for hidden reasons. With Sun Boy I was thinking how we first met him as an imposter pretending to be him. Great pick for a group. Marvel Lad perfectly valid I think. He reveals his true identity just before being officially inducted but after being accepted so close enough.
New one up soon.
Bump stile - wait, that's me! Oops.
I'm thinking of 6 legionnaires who have something in common.
Leviathan
XS
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Kid Quantum I
Chameleon
Brainiac 5
Andromeda
Blok
Catspaw
Dawnstar
Earth-Man
Ferro Lad
And we're off to a great start!
Ibby: 3 - may guess the connection
raz: 0 - big elimination
Wowza!
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Chameleon
Leviathan
Spark
Kinetix
Violet
Colossal Boy
Bouncing Boy
Cosmic Boy
Dream Girl
Element Lad
Sun Boy
Ibby: 4
raz: 3
Both of you can guess the connection.
Well this is powering ahead. I will add the important clue that all 6 legionnaires have now been guessed.
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Chameleon
Leviathan
Violet
Element Lad
Sun Boy
Ibby: 5! May guess the connection.
Hmm don’t know yet …
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Chameleon
Leviathan
Violet
Element Lad
Dream Girl
Ibby: 4 - may still guess
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Chameleon
Leviathan
Violet
Sun Boy
Bouncing Boy
Hmmm....how about:
Colossal Boy
Invisible Lyle
Chameleon Boy
Shrinking Violet
Sun Boy
Cosmic Boy
Raz has 5 but Ibby has all 6!
Can Ibby guess the connection?
Hmm the first six Legionnaires to join via open tryouts?
Although Brainiac 5 tried out, Supergirl was invited to…
And if I remember right, Lyle didn’t try out per se, he was “haunting” the clubhouse.
Not what I was thinking of. It does relate closely to Supergirl, and (kind of) all the way back to Adventure 247.
I bet they're the six Legionnaires that the computer decided Supergirl would have the most fun kissing
(aka I am stumped!)
I bet they're the six Legionnaires that the computer decided Supergirl would have the most fun kissing
(aka I am stumped!)
Ha! Not what I was thinking of.
Legionnaires who first appeared during the Supergirl story? I seem to remember Sun Boy, Vi and Bouncing Boy shown as applicants then, and maybe the other three first appeared as members then too
Close enough Ibby. Yes those 6 legionnaires did first appear in Supergirl stories. That would also include Brainiac 5 but there is one other feature common between the 6 and not Brainy.
In particular remember that there were two stories of Supergirl applying to join the LSH, first in Action Comics 267 where she was rejected due to Red Kryptonite ageing her past the age limit, and second in Action Comics 276 (don't get those numbers mixed up) when she ended up being accepted alongside Brainiac 5. Both issues had homages to the original LSH story in Adventure Comics 247.
In ADV 247 there is a panel where Superboy is sitting at a table in LSH HQ being introduced to three legionnaires also at the table with their super powers written on cards in front of them. (Their names were conveniently on their costumes, a consideration that was quickly dropped in future appearances.) Here the three are of course Lightning Boy (Lad), Saturn Girl, and Cosmic Boy.
In ACT 267 Supergirl is seen sitting at table in LSH HQ being introduced to three other legionnaires "who inherited their powers from their parents from other worlds" with their powers and names on cards in front of them. These three are Chameleon Boy, Colossal Boy, and Invisible Kid.
In ACT 276 Supergirl is again seen sitting at a table in LSH HQ (Same table? Is this some standard LSH ritual?) being introduced to three legionnaires with their powers and names on cards in front of them. These three are Shrinking Violet, Bouncing Boy, and Sun Boy, although the speech from Cosmic Boy (who does the introductions in all cases) suggests that they are only Legion applicants at this stage and must have been accepted at some time between this issue and their next appearance.
So yes the six legionnaires were all introduced in one of Supergirl's two attempts to join the Legion applications, by being seen sitting at the Introductions Table with its convenient power and name place cards.
Your turn Ibby.
EDIT: weird, I don't know what happened to cut off most of my earlier post - let's try it again!
That was a good one! I wonder if Colossal Boy coming from another world inspired Mark Waid's Micro Lad take?
I'm kind of curious as to what a Legion universe would look like where EVERY member's power is native to their planet, hmmmm.....
Good combo stile, and good deducting IB!
Wow! That was awesome stile, you’re really a wellspring of knowledge
Raz, I think your last reply got cut off. I hope you haven’t been swallowed up by an anti matter wave or something
New set of Legionnaires soon!
I am thinking of 6 Legionnaires
Comet Queen
Dragonwing
Chemical Kid
Harmonia
Glorith
Earth-Man
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
Triplicate Girl
Phantom Girl
Superboy (Kal-El)
That gets rid of a bunch! How about:
Chameleon Boy
Brainiac 5
Shadow Lass
Tellus
Shikari
Kono
Lots of elimination. Great to see.
XS
Kinetix
Gates
Sensor
Magno
Monstress
stile's in the race!
How about:

Thanks for eliminating some of my guesses raz!

gang, sorry, this should have been 1/6! i edited my original post too
all 6 Legionnaires have now been guessed at least once
Wooh! Okay, how about
Invisible Lyle
Vi
Gates
Triad
Andromeda
Star Boy
Triad
Kinetix
Kid Quantum II (Jazmin)
Spark
Monstress
Leviathan
Sensor
Magno
M'Onel
Alchemist
Star Boy
Apparition
I am gonna try
Sensor
Magno
Andromeda
M'Onel
Dream Girl
Cosmic Boy
stile: 5/6!!
raz: 3/6!!
either of you may guess the connection!
I can't think of a connection but I am gonna guess the 6th member is Saturn Girl?
Sensor
Magno
Element Lad
Star Boy
M'Onel
Saturn Girl
Well then ...
Sensor
Magno
Alchemist
Star Boy
M'Onel
Livewire
you got 6/6 stile!!! can you figure out the connection?
Hmm. Did they all have powers change? No I don't remember that happening to M'Onel. Form change? Not Magno. Nope. Drawing a blank.
nope and nope. it was a certain event/mission that ties them together
Were they the first crew assigned to the Outpost? Wasn't there a whole thing where Garth got the sads because Imra put him and her on separate teams?
nope, you are correct though that Garth threw a few fits cause Imra stationed him on the Outpost while he was on Earth. that was a rather long-running bit, I think it started LSH 111 and didn't get resolved until like Legionnaires 75 (about 8 months in real life)!
this event/mission occurs a bit earlier in the Reboot timeline... during the team 20/30 split. the 6 are:
Sensor
Magno
Alchemist
Star Boy
M'Onel
Livewire
I was working my way reading back through the reboot stories but that kind of stalled. I obviously have to get back to it. I might remember the event when someone describes the incident but at the moment I have no idea.
I'll leave it up for a day in case anyone else wants to guess.
Hmmm.....there can't be that many missions that team was on together, Magno wasn't really around that long....were they the team that fought Mordru when Dyrk lost his powers?
close enough! they were the first response team when Mordru blew up Sklar. Magno didn't lose his powers then, only in the second battle
Thought you could figure it out raz. Good job.
w00t! Thanks all, it was a bit of a desperate guess to be honest hahaha...I will have a think and come up with something in the next few days!
Okay friends, thank you for your patience! I am thinking of 4 Legionnaires who have something in common!
No worries

hmmmm I feel like I should know this...
Comet Queen
Invisible Kid II

Invisible Kid II
IB: 2/4
stile: 3/4! And you are not far off the 4th one!
Brainiac 5
Triplicate Girl
Bouncing Boy
Computo ?
Ibby does have it!
That is the 4 so you got the win anyway IB, but do you know what it is they have in common?
It marked a change in status quo for the team as a whole...
gosh! I figured it had something to do with the COMPUTO computer, but....
I was gonna guess they had their powers altered by COMPUTO, but that would omit Brainy. (Jacques isn't there because he got his powers from the invisibility serum). Lu - lost a body; Chuck - temporarily regained his powers but they were taken away; Danielle - well, duh
cannot really think of an incident where all 4 were involved?
I actually forgot about Computo magically giving Chuck his powers back temporarily!
The thing I was thinking of was when Brainy finally isolated Computo from Danielle Foccart and made Computo build the Legion their new special floating HQ and become their new major domo.
Brainy and Danielle were there obviously because Brainy was working on her cure, and Chuck and Lu were there because they had brought Flynt Brojj to give him a tour of the (old) HQ. The rest of the Legionnaires were off dealing with Omen and the Prophet.
Over to you, IB!
oh, I forgot that Chuck, Lu and Flynt Brojj were there then - I thought they were there during another instance!!
thanks raz!!
ok, I am thinking of 4 Legionnaires
Interesting pick raz. Good choice for a small number present at an important event. I seem to remember Brainy being flung out the front as the HQ collapsed before being rearranged - or am I remembering it wrong?
Polar Boy
Magnetic Kid II (Pol)
Tellus
Quislet
and then that one panel of Legion HQ suddenly being rebuilt better than ever
stile - 0/4
Brainiac 5
Sun Boy
Blok
Invisible Kid II
I seem to remember Brainy being flung out the front as the HQ collapsed before being rearranged - or am I remembering it wrong?
I think that was the cover? But he was out the front at the end somehow so you might be right actually!
For the next 4 I will say...
Blok
Tellus
Tyroc
Dawnstar
Brainiac 5
Shadow Lass
Supergirl
XS
raz - 2/4! May guess the connection
hmmm too soon for me to guess the connection.....let's see how this lot goes!
Kinetix
Gates
Invisible Lyle
Spark!
raz - 2/4! May still guess the connection!
all 4 Legionnaires have now been guessed!
Let's see if it's Brainy and the other three
Brainiac 5
Shadow Lass
Invisible Lyle
Spark
stile - 3/4!
raz - 2/4!
Stile and Raz may guess the connection
Brainiac 5
XS
Gates
Invisible Kid I (Lyle)
stile - 2/4 , may guess the connection
I think that just leaves:
Brainy
Umbra
Kinetix
Gates?
I can't think of what the four of them have in common though!
you got it raz, 4/4! per the rules, I think you get the next connection anyway
as for the connection, if you want to guess, it was an event/mission that ties them together
I actually have no idea tbh! The Anomaly is usually my hail mary answer for any reboot guesses I don't know but I'm pretty sure Andromeda was in the Anomaly so that rules that one out...
You actually got it... this is the away team sent to follow M'Onel and Andromeda into the Anomaly! Our two Daxamites got there first, and this quartet followed them and got caught up in... well, whatever it was!
That's two of these threads tonight that my subconscious got for me!
Okay y'all, I have 3 Legionnaires in mind! Let's gooooo!
yay for your subconscious!
ok...

3 out of 3 and I believe stile knows the connection!
Ohh I think I know the connection too! But take it away stile
The three poor souls from Batch SW6 that died in the above ground effects of the explosion of the chambers.
Correct! Over to you, stile!
I am thinking of 6 legionnaires.

Let's try the scattershot approach!
Night Girl
Chameleon Girl
Dream Boy
Celeste Rockfish
Kent Shakespeare
Bounty (actually, do we count Bounty & Dawnstar as separate characters?)
re Bounty vs. Dawnstar, good question!!! I think generally we count Sensor vs. Projectra as different, though they are both Princess of Orando. Bounty vs. Dawnstar is different though, Dawny's body and some kind of malevolent entity...
If we consider that the entity Bounty was the Legionnaire (while driving Dawnstar's body), i think we should count them as separate. and when we guess Bounty we are talking about the entity
That is a good question. Another comparison would be 5YL Wildfire who was animating Sun Boy's dead body but I would still consider that Wildfire. Sun Boy being dead is a bit stronger than Dawnstar being possessed but still I would go with that. Bounty in Dawnstar's body is a separate character to Dawnstar.
Ibby: 0
raz: 0
It's an elimination round!

Well that's better - and very interesting.
Ibby: 4
raz: 4
Both of you may guess at the connection.
this is an interesting grouping, but I am blanking for the moment. let's see if we can figure out the full list of 6...
Laurel Gand
Supergirl
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Dawnstar
Thunder
Magno
Intriguing! But I am with IB, it hasn't come to me yet - let's see if we can eliminate some more!
Invisible Lyle
Devlin O'Ryan
Bouncing Boy
Gazelle
Glorith
Ferro Lad
Ibby: 5!
raz: 1
Ibby may guess the connection.
I will add that the 6th is a bit iffy, depends on your judgement, but the five all fit for sure.
this is a tough one, I cannot quite figure it out
maybe I'm getting hung up on the physical similarities between Laurel etc.
Does it have something to do with possession? Dawnstar = Bounty, um Lyle had Myla, ...
let's see if we can figure out the 6th...
Laurel Gand
Supergirl
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Dawnstar
Thunder
Gear
I think I have got it!
Laurel Gand
Supergirl
Dawnstar
Thunder
Invisible Lyle
....and maybe Colossal Boy?
you're cannier than I am! now I'm curious!
Ibby: 5
raz: 5
Both of you may guess the connection. (That might be easier than guessing the 6th legionnaire.)
Is it Legionnaires who all wore a headband at some point? Gim's is really more of a headsock, but it fits for the rest of them!
well dang! that connection sounds right!!
I believe the last one is someone who was only a member during the Five Year Gap.
raz has it absolutely correct.
Lyle of course wore the headband in original and reboot.
Supergirl went through the headband phase including some of her adventures with the Legion.
5YL Laurel wore a headband regularly.
Dawnstar sometimes wore her forehead star on a headband.
Thunder sore a headband when she appeared in the 30th/31st Century.
Number 6 is Projectra. While the original never wore a headband, both Fourboot and late retroboot (without the mask) wore a type of fore headband, which was probably more a tiara along the lines of Wonder Woman, but sat on her forehead, not her head. (Reboot Sensor also wore the same in her illusion form during her tryout.)
Your turn raz.
I considered Kinetix and reboot Vi as well, but I imagine fashionista Zoe Saugin wouldn't be too impressed with someone confusing a headband and a hairband as the same thing
Who were you thinking of, EDE? I am blanking on any other headband gang members!
Also, I have got a group of THREE Legionnaires! Let the guessing begin!!
Headband and hairband, hee hee
Cosmic Boy
Live Wire
Saturn Girl
IB: first elimination round! 0/3
Yes I considered the difference between hair-head bands and fore-headbands. Quite a number of the women wore hair head bands at one time or another.
Superboy (Kal-El)
Superboy (Kon-El)
Superboy (Jon)
IB: 0/3!
stile: our first match with 1/3! Now you just gotta decide which Superboy it is
yay, you got one stile!!
Superboy (Kal-El)
Supergirl
Laurel Gand
Superboy (Jon)
Mon-El
Gold Lantern
IB: 2/3 and you can guess the connection!

oh wow! how I wish I knew lol, if I had all 3 ...
Superboy (Kal-El)
Supergirl
Mon-El
Superboy (Kon-El)
Supergirl
Laurel Gand
IB: 2/3

To narrow down the field a bit, all three of them are from the same team continuity
time to cast the nets wider methinks....
Phantom Girl
Triplicate Girl
Brainiac 5
Element Lad
Wildfire
White Witch
yay let's keep going
Chameleon Boy
Colossal Boy
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
Getting closer to the end!
IB: 1/3!
ah so who is the one...
Superboy (Kal-El)
Supergirl
Chameleon Boy
Superboy (Kal-El)
Supergirl
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
IB has all three!
Can you guess what they have in common? It is something that connects the three of them to another team...
another team, huh? hmmm I was thinking it might have to do with those blood crystals/Mordru but...
think think think
Was it LEGION related?
not L.E.G.I.O.N. but definitely related to
a Legion!
Legion of Doom?
Nope, not Legion of Doom...what other Legions are there in the Legion of Superheroes' time tho?
I was thinking Legion of Super Villains and Legion of Subs, but can't quite figure out how those three are connected to that...
it can't be villainous counterparts, else the list would be longer. can't be membership...
I will stop torturing you hahaha
They are the three Legionnaires who had pets in the Legion of Super-Pets! (Proty, Streaky and Krypto)
Over to you, IB!
oh DUH! of course!!! thanks raz, I totally blanked on that, why didn't I think of the Super Pets lol!!
ok I am thinking of three Legionnaires!
Great idea raz! I was as stumped as Ibby but it was obvious when you pointed it out.
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
Tellus
Lightning Lass
Magnetic Kid (Pol)
Chameleon Boy
Dream Girl
Karate Kid (Val)
Magno
Umbra

Invisible Lyle?
Colossal Boy
Star Boy
Sun Boy
Nice one stile!
Star Boy
Gravity Kid
Light Lass?
Edit: oh wait I just remembered Tel never actually joined the Legion in the comics, just everyone's fics hahahaha
I will keep my guess anyway for the other two
A hit! Wait that's battleships. Close enough.
Bouncing Boy
Ultra Boy
Mon-El
raz: 1/3
stile: 0/3
lol at Tel, yeah, we have 3 running fanfics with him as a Legionnaire now, it just seems so natural!
stile: 0/3 (on the right track re which version of the team tho!)
Star Boy
Monstress
Kid Quantum II?
ding ding ding, you got it raz! and I bet you got the connection too
The Xanthu Legionnaires?
I mean I guess there's Kid Q1 as well but he was there for all of 40 seconds
you got it! and yeah, let's say the Xanthu Legionnaires who were being nagged to come home by Xanthugov and the Amazers
Woohoo!
Okay, lemme put my thinking cap on and I will come up with another group over the next couple days!
Okay I got a good one!
I am thinking of three Legionnaires!
I'm guessing it's not
Cosmic Boy
Live Wire
Saturn Girl
?
Brainiac 5

Colossal Boy
Invisible Kid I (Lyle)

go stile!!
now which one...
Invisible Kid II
Kid Quantum II
Magnetic Kid (Pol)
plot thickens!
White Witch
Dragonmage
Glorith
IB: 1/3
stile: 0/3
I'll give y'all a clue, the other two are NOT Legionnaires who would normally have had anything to do with each other!
hmmmmm
Quislet
Star Boy
Magno
IB: 0/3 but I like the wide net-casting!
Timber Wolf
Shikari
Matter-Eater Lad
Supergirl
Dream Girl
Shadow Lass
Chemical King
Spark
Sun Boy
stile: 0/3
IB: 0/3
Let me know if y'all want a clue yet! Otherwise, you have done good work eliminating loads of characters so I am sure you're close to getting the next two anyway!
Ferro Lad
Karate Kid
Projectra
And there it is!
stile: 1/3!
oooh now which one?
Projectra
Kinetix
XS
thanks for the offer raz, wouldn't mind a clue but indeed - we're close to confirming the 2nd, so the 3rd won't be too far behind I hope!
White Witch
Karate Kid
Earth-Man
IB: 0/3
stile: 1/3!
Clue time! Only one of the three Legionnaires has their own innate superhuman power (ie: a power that comes from having a metagene)
ah that helps!
Elastic Lad
Insect Queen (Lana)
Rond Vidar
hmm
White Witch
Rond Vidar
Thunder?
Karate Kid
Dragonmage
Elastic Lad
IB: 2/3 and you can guess the connection if you're feelin' lucky!
stile: 0/3!
I'm guessing preboot Mordru has something to do with it, but I'm not sure what yet!
and we still miss a third Legionnaire...
White Witch
Rond Vidar
Lana Lang?
You're so close re Mordru!!!!
Also: 2/3
hmmm
White Witch
Rond Vidar
Douglas Nolan
Legionnaires who plotted against Glorith in the short-lived Glorithverse?
hmmm
White Witch
Rond Vidar
Douglas Nolan
Legionnaires who plotted against Glorith in the short-lived Glorithverse?
Oh wait was that Ferro Lad's brother?? I always thought it was Ferro Lad himself! No wonder this one was so tough, sorry y'all
But that is the group I was thinking of, all yours IB!
Good job Ibby. I figured out the group (with Ferro Lad instead) but not the connection. Good spotting and great pick raz.
I just checked LSH v4 #5 and it was Andrew Nolan! The masked character is remembering those that have been "lost" to Mordru and the last one he mentions is Douglas. Then when talking to Mysa he names himself Andrew Nolan. You had it right raz.

Phew...I only re-read that issue a few weeks ago, I didn't think I was that far gone yet
oooh I mixed them up lol
I realize now I blanked. White Witch is the one without an active metagene... she learned magic herself! Andrew has the metagene!
thanks stile, and nice job getting the grouping right!

?
you got it raz, 4/4! want to guess the connection?
I have no idea actually!
shall we leave it for a day to see if stile wants to guess? although, you guessed the four Legionnaires so you'll get the next round anyway (I think that's what we did before, I think!)
Yep, let's do that! I assume it is a story-related reason rather than some quality they all have in common?
you are correct
if you want a day to think about it, go ahead!!
It's the Legionnaires from DnA's first regular issue, who encountered Robotica for the first time, and were therefore off Earth when the Blight struck.
you got it, EDE! that was quite a nice done-in-one that led into... so much! over to you!
Oh! I thought we already decided to let raz have it. I was just showing off.
shall we leave it for a day to see if stile wants to guess? although, you guessed the four Legionnaires so you'll get the next round anyway (I think that's what we did before, I think!)
oops, where's my head at? Thanks EDE, you're right, raz did get the 4 Legionnaires in question. SOrry raz, sorry EDE, over to you raz
I will think of something over the weekend, you can jump in if you like though EDE - I only guessed it by going through rebooters we hadn't picked yet lol
Okay y'all, I am thinking of EIGHT Legionnaires who have something in common!
Let the guessing begin!

One of the last two I think will give it all away, but if it helps....it's not so much an intrinsic quality of these characters, but something about their background they all have in common...

Thunder is not the 8th member, but she could almost be considered to be a part of this group!
Chameleon
XS
White Witch
Phantom Girl
Dream Girl
Shadow Lass
Laurel Gand
Impulse (Kent)
Best guess I can come up with is that we have seen an ancestor of each of them as a character in the 20th/21st Century - except then Brainiac 5 should also be included so not quite right?
nice connection, stile! very nice.
Am still thinking myself.
Chameleon
XS
White Witch
Phantom Girl
Dream Girl
Shadow Lass
Laurel Gand
Supergirl
stile has (basically) got it!
It was characters who themselves come from the Legion's time, but have heroic ancestors in the 20th/21st century- I didn't include Brainy because the original Brainiac was a bad guy, but now I think about it I suppose Vril Dox is a hero if you squint
All yours, stile!
awesome solutioning, stile! great connection, raz!
Great group raz. The mention of Thunder helped, and when I thought of Kent Shakespeare it made it more solid. Perhaps the shakiest is Reep since it was his father as opposed to a distant ancestor who was active "heroically" in the 20th Century. Still fits though. Interesting that three of them were in L.E.G.I.O.N. - the Durlan who became R. J. Brande after the time switch, Lyrissa Mallor for Shady (and Lydea too suppose), and Lar Gand for Laurel. Vril Dox II makes four (although it is certainly questionable whether or not he was a hero). XS is a descendant of Barry Allan, Kent Shakespeare of Superman, and sisters Mysa and Nura of Dreamer. Phantom Girl threw me off until I remembered the Terrifics Phantom Girl.
Very clever idea raz.
I am thinking of a group of 6 legionnaires.
It's true, Brainy probably would have been a better match for that group than Cham - including RJ was a bit cheeky
For your 6, let's try:
Comet Queen
Harmonia
Dragonwing
Chemical Kid
Glorith II: Electric Boogaloo
Earth-Man
I will go with
Gates
Kinetix

Brainiac 5 (I always think of Brainy and Gates together, because they were Reboot BFFs!)

According to the rules Ibby may now guess the connection. (Good luck with that.)
In case IB doesn't have an epiphany -
Invisible Lyle

Kid Quantum I
Bounty
Catspaw
Chameleon Girl
too early for an epiphany
Cosmic Boy
Live Wire
Saturn Girl
Mon-El
Star Boy
Dream Girl
raz: 0
Ibby: 1
BTW do we count Bounty as a separate character to Dawnstar? Yes the creature controlling her was an individual entity but would you then say that entity was a legionnaire?
I forgot our discussion about that. I think we said we would count Bounty as separate, because of the presence of the entity...
Saturn Girl

Dawnstar

Guess the connection.
It's not the connection that I thought it was, let's see what IB says!
(also chiming in on the Bounty/Dawnstar thing, I remember we decided to consider them separately last time it came up as well)
this is a tough one! seems to be a membership thing, but search me...
female Legionnaires who... who... who were jealous of Dream Girl? (but we're missing one...)
Saturn Girl
Apparition
Triad
Spark
Shrinking Violet
Projectra
Ibby: 5
Nothing to do with Dream Girl.
Anyone is welcome to keep guessing or listing.
The 6th is a bit tricky since they were not a legionnaire when this connection was made.
Saturn Girl
Apparition
Triad
Spark
Shrinking Violet
...and Jimmy Olsen?
Saturn Girl
Apparition
Triad
Spark
Shrinking Violet
Night Girl?
are these the Legionnaires whom Satan Girl was making sick?
Ibby has it! Good job. Your turn.
That was a good one! Supergirl not being part of the group threw me
your clue helped a lot, stile! it was likely to be an early-Adventure era story, and there aren't many characters introduced that early who would later go on to join
okay, let's see...
this will be a bit obscure, but I think getting the right combination of Legionnaires will be illuminating.
I am thinking of 7 Legionnaires.

raz: 1/7
stile: 6/7!!! stile may guess the connection!
Whew. If that hadn't worked I was on the verge of asking you to check your answers, because a lot of combinations had been eliminated.
As to the connection my first thought had been memories of Uboy and Gates with the homeless in the 20th Century but that doesn't fit so many of the others. No idea.
Ultra Boy
M'Onel
Gates
Brainiac 5
Apparition
Umbra
Magno
stile: 6/7
I have given my answers a few once-overs too, to be sure
your guess isn't too far off, in that there is a specific issue/scene tying the correct 7 together
I am gonna guess it's Kid Quantum plus the below 6 but I can't think what links them all....were they all there when Gates accidentally chopped Ra's Al Ghul's hand off?
Ultra Boy
M'Onel
Gates
Brainiac 5
Apparition
Umbra
Kid Quantum is not the 7th one
and no, Apparition and Umbra were absent then. Love that scene though, Ra's had it coming.
the scene-that-ties-everything happened after the Gates/Ultra Boy soup kitchen scene, but before Ra's al Ghul's hand got chopped off
Thanks for checking but with the 6 I was pretty sure you had everything right. It was our early assumptions that were throwing me off, Cosmic Boy and Andromeda in particular.
Unfortunately I suspect this is going to be one of those scenes in the time period of the Reboot that I am less familiar with. My reread is coming, I promise - one of these days.
Ultra Boy
M'Onel
Gates
Brainiac 5
Apparition
Umbra
Thunder
you got the 7, stile! and you're correct, it's a certain Reboot scene.
let's leave it for a day or two to see if raz or EDE have a guess?
if none, then I'll give the connection - and as you have the 7, you get the next Q!
I am clueless, good guessing stile!
EDE hasn't guessed in a week, so I will spill it
these are the 7 Legionnaires who skipped the big beach party on Summer World, Legionnaires 77. All other active Legionnaires were there, plus support staff of the same age (Chuck, Tenzil, and Dyrk formerly Magno).'
Apparition and Ultra Boy stayed on monitor duty at Legion HQ - it's implied this is when they conceived Cub, as Tinya gently reminded Jo that they were completely alone
Umbra and M'Onel were patrolling in space
Brainiac 5 and Gates were on the Outpost (Brainy was on Monitor Duty, Gates was on vacation with his best friend)
Thunder was in the 90th century visiting her parents
stile got the 7, so over to stile!
I liked the "negative" aspect of that connection - not who was in the event but who wasn't.
I am thinking of 6 legionnaires with a connection.
thanks, stile
let's try:
Cosmic Boy
Saturn Girl
Lightning Lad
Brainiac 5

That's a big fat 0 for your first guess Ibby. Enjoy!

ooh now which one

Kid Quantum II
Hmmm intriguing! Let's see if we can go another 0 for 6
Chameleon Girl
Earth-Man
Monster Boy
Gear
Lana Lang
Quislet
Ibby, 1 again - but is it who you think it is?
raz - sorry but no 0, you actually achieved 4 - and one of those was one I hadn't considered meeting the criteria, so there are now 7 legionnaires. Guess the connection.
intriguing!
Chameleon Girl
Monster Boy
Gear
Lana Lang
Chameleon Boy
Jimmy Olsen
Nightwind
Ooer!
I had Legionnaires who are shapeshifters (Earth-Man, Gear, Insect Queen and Quislet are stretching the definition) but I don't think that'd be it now...I shall don my thinking cap and return!
Jinx, I was also thinking of shapeshifters, or body modifiers anyhow...
I am going to give it to you raz. Pretty much what I was looking for, although my definition was those that can change their body shape. You were the first to get over half of the group and the first to be able to guess at the connection.
Ibby's list has 6 out of the 7. Gear was the one I hadn't thought of and I agree that he is borderline, but if you were to look at his silhouette for example, it definitively changes. I hadn't thought of Earth-Man with his copying of powers but that makes him awkward for any list, and Quislet changes the shape of thing s he inhabits as opposed to his own shape (whatever that is). Insect Queen's powers may be artificial but they do change her shape.
I considered but discounted Gim and Vi as they only change size not shape. However there is one other legionnaire that changes shape that has not been mentioned. raz still has the next turn but can you pick the other legionnaire?
Good group, stile!
I agree with you on Earth-Man, it's a bit cheeky including him on every power-specific list just because he copies powers lol
In that case I guess the one we haven't mentioned would be Bouncing Boy?
nice connection, stile! nice concluding, raz!
I figured Gim and Vi were left out because they don't actually change shape.
Bouncing Boy is the last legionnaire! Your turn raz.
Okay gang, I have 5 Legionnaires!
Guess away!

I think the 5th was... Superboy (Kal)?

You got it in one, that’s the perfect 10!
And a clue: it was a story / scene that ties them together
Hmm. Leviathan puts it before Emerald Eye, but Star boy and Gates only joined a little before that. Is it the team on hand the day Chuck arrived?
Close enough, you got it! I was thinking of the team that gathered the Fatal Five, but indeed it was also the team on hand when Chuck showed up (minus I think Spark, who was on Winath then and returned a bit after Chuck)
Good detective work!
AH right. That makes sense. I had forgotten about that gathering happening then. And of course two of them were sent to each of the Fatal Five making ten. Good pick.
New group soon.
I am thinking of a group of 9 legionnaires.

Correct! You have all 9 legionnaires. Can you guess the connection between them?
ooooh tough one!
I'll go with: they all witnessed a parent die? (can't remember that for Luornu, though... and I think Nura and Mysa should be here if so...)
It's something about being from destroyed civilizations.
Krypton, Argo City, Trom, and Dryad, pre-Crisis; Marzal and Daxam 5YL, Cargg and Orando in the threeboot.
I'm guessing Earth and Titan are excepted because a significant part of the population was evacuated?
ooh duh of course! was not thinking about the Threeboot versions!
EDE is on the right track. In each case the legionnaire was the only survivor or one of only a handful of survivors of their home planet/civilization. The idea came from raz's mention of how many legionnaires were orphans.
Based on previous practice I think I award the next turn to Ibby who successfully guessed the entire list, even though EDE figured out the connection. Does that sound fair?
I remembered the orphan comment! Nice thinking, expanding it to civilizations, stile!
if it is based on previous rounds, I find your suggestion fair!
Yeah, I wasn't trying to steal it from Ibby, who did all of the work generating the list!
aw shucks EDE
thanks
ok, I am thinking of 15 Legionnaires!
15? Crumbs. This is going to be a challenge - for Ibby as much as us.

this is giving a major clue I suppose, but I'd rather avoid confusion: what did we say about Projectra and Sensor again? well, 7/15 if we consider them different characters, 8/15 if we consider them the same
(I seem to remember us saying: Jeckie/Sensor are both the princess of Orando, so they're the same. unlike Dawnstar and Shikari, where they have totally different homeworlds etc.)
Actually I remember us treating them as different, with you championing that point of view. Gets confusing anyway.
That does give a fairly large clue.

Hmmm....it is definitely the reboot Legion, but I can't think of all that many times so many of them were in one story - was it when they had the showdown with Mordru and Blast-Off and Atom'x got killed?
you got it! and good deductions!
over to you raz - hope nobody minds, the connection has been guessed and the list is long, so let's just end this round.
as you got the connection, let's fill in the rest of the list. it was all the Legionnaires (past, present or future - for the Reboot continuity) that were present during the battle with Mordru:
Live Wire
Chameleon
Invisible Kid (Lyle)
XS
Kinetix
Violet
Andromeda (past member)
Star Boy
Element Lad
M'Onel
Umbra
Sensor
Magno
Monstress (future member)
Kid Quantum II (future member)
and bonus 16th is Wildfire, as Blast-Off and Atom'x would merge and survive to become Wildfire
I had a tough time counting, because there were so many... and also because in my fic, some others present (Particon, Mysa) would eventually become Legionnaires too... and I had to remember that Dragonmage was an SW6 Legionnaire, but never a Reboot one! (same for Mysa actually, a Preboot and Bendisboot member, but not a canon Reboot one!)
Happy to let this one go. 15 gets a bit much to correlate all the possibilities. Still was fun to have a go and we were definitely making progress. Good job raz picking the correct adventure.
thanks stile, you were both doing great for sure, getting there bit by bit!
Thanks y'all!
Okay, first one for the new year! I am thinking of 8 Legionnaires who have something in common!
yay!

Should this have been 6? Ibby (in his most recent guess) and I agree on the first 7 unless this guess was 5 in which case I am confused by some other answer.
My guess:
Bouncing Boy
Ultra Boy
Colossal Boy
Sun Boy
Star Boy
Lightning Lad

thanks stile, I was also thinking that something may have been missed earlier, but was not quite sure!
Oh my gosh, you're totally right stile! Good deducing, and sorry y'all!!

IB has got it! For the bonus point, do you know what it is they all have in common?
Again bearing in mind this is only comparing members of the same incarnation of the team - ie the preboot in this case
yay! hmm let me think, what could these 8 have in common...
I don't think it was a specific story...
oh! Legionnaires who gained their powers in an accident?
YES!
I thought if I opened it up to all incarnations of the team it would be too hard to keep track of, but it's all the OG Legionnaires who got their powers through an accident outside their control.
All yours IB!
Super awesome connection, raz! Wow! It made sense at the end, and come to think of it it’s something so inherent to each character. Love it!
Ok… am thinking of 7 Legionnaires

Welcome to the game, Idle! 0/7
Great connection raz! And great guessing Ibby. Super obvious now you have said it. Good game. Took us a while as we went down windy paths but still fun.

totally agree, stile, it was fun! it was the presence of Bouncing Boy and Wildfire on the list, followed by the Lightning twins, that finally gave me the connection. Not much else to link Chuck and Drake - and their Active memberships didn't really overlap, either

Ferro
Inferno (Sandy - I'm not sure if she counts as an actual Legionnaire though?)
Karate Kid (Val)
Kid Quantum I
Kid Quantum II
Magno
Sensor
raz: 1/7!
(2/7 is we say Sensor = Projectra. I might be flip-flopping here, I honestly cannot remember which way I argued on this before, but I recall stile found a post where I said Sensor should equal Projectra... in any case, I think it's worth specifying
)
re Sandy - I don't personally count her as one, I think some others would. but in LSH 88, when the Legionnaires voted on Bart Allen's membership, Sandy did NOT get a vote - it was 1 YES, 6 Nos = the 1 was implied Brainiac 5, the 6 Nos must have been Cos, Imra, Gates, Tinya, Spark and Jo. that means Sandy and Shvaughn did not get votes
then in LSH 96, when Sandy leaves in a huff, Triad goes "wait, Legionnaires stick together!" and Sandy goes "I'm not a Legionnaire!" (though she wore a flight ring then... but they also gave Shvaughn a flight ring for practicality, even though Shvaughn was clearly not a Legionnaire!)
but in any case, for this round, Sandy is not one of the 7 so...
LOL. We just can't seem to make up our minds. MY memory says that you successfully convinced me that they were two separate characters, not just different versions. One of those things we may never settle.
Anyway thanks for the clarification - and the clue!

which I suppose should include... huh! I'm having a tough time finishing the list!
White Witch
Kinetix
Glorith
Dragonmage
Shadow Lass/Umbra
Princess Projectra
Kid Quantum I
Celeste Rockfish
You got the connection. Not surprising. It wasn't very tricky. However my list is a bit different to yours.
Agree about Projectra. I didn't have Shady because I was thinking hers was more mythical or just the location but she is very similar to Jeckie in that so you are probably right. I also had Dragonwing in the list forgetting that her power wasn't magical. My mistake.
However I wouldn't include KQI (5YL) as I thought his power was Lorn-science based? And Celeste was some remnant of the Guardians green energy not mystical to my mind.
Can you guess the last two in my list? You are certainly familiar with both and both are undoubtedly magically powered.
nice! great connection! having Kinetix and White Witch together clued me in, and once I saw Dragonmage and Glorith too, it all came together
I wasn't sure about KQI, so I just threw him out there. as for Celeste, yes, wasn't sure if her green energy was counted as mystical
ah, Dr. Fate is one of course! I still often forget the new Bendisboot kids...
if Celeste isn't counted, then Gold Lantern won't be, either... so that still leaves one...
does demon-possessed Command Kid count?
oh of course! silly me, I was thinking of the Reboot earlier and skipped over her
Thunder!

sorry, big miss on my part!!
No worries. Plenty of times I have thought of a connection with a few members and then thought of others and then others. Only annoying thing is that I can't eliminate that list.
So since all my lists have been exclusive it seem that they have included 15 so far. 3 to go.
Storm Boy
Stone Boy
Chlorophyll Kid
Fire Lad
Calamity King
Color Kid
Infectious Lass
Porcupine Pete
Crystal Kid
Nightwind
Reflecto
Karate Kid II
Visi-Lad

Blood Claw

I had to count to be sure
thanks stile, appreciate your understanding and good humor on this!
thankfully this is 0/18
I will say that if I had counted Reserve/Honorary Legionnaires on the list, this list could expand to 20... and you would have 1 on here
I don't know if that helps or hurts, but a clue's a clue right? lol
and I think it's 14 rather than 15? 6 + 6 + 2 = 14
so 4 more
Whoops! I somehow remembered the first list as 7 instead of 6.
So kind-of 1 reserve/honorary legionnaire huh? That might be very helpful - later - but not yet.

that leaves 2/18 not yet guessed
I'm impressed by Stile's effort. By my count, he's listed 105 Legionnaires. I have looked over his lists and thought I would try to guess who hasn't been mentioned yet. If any of these are not counted as legionnaires, let me know.
Antilad
impulse (Bart) -might be the kind of honorary member
Cannus
Brawler
Tomb
Lex Luthor (descendent)
Mr. Mxyzptlk 5
Lightning Lord
Saturn Queen
Cosmic King
Membrain
Silverwing
Argent
Metrox
Nervosa
Lodestone
Shape
Graft
The Last eight are from the Dead Earth Annual. Didn't know if they counted
Bart Allen was never made an honorary member,
Tomb, Cannus and Brawler were only cadets,
and depends if you consider the false pretenses types like Lightning Lord
in any case... 0/18
and I think it's 14 rather than 15? 6 + 6 + 2 = 14
so 4 more
ugh wait sorry, it was 15! sorry! it was indeed 7+6+2 = 15, and +2 more = 17. so only 1 of the 18 has remained unguessed
Whoops! I somehow remembered the first list as 7 instead of 6.
the first list was indeed 7!
14?! These are always challenging with so many hits in the big groups. Well, here we go.

to be precise: this was the list with 7/18
I can't believe I forgot to ask about
Theena
Mrissey
I think they were members (wasn't it said everyone was but only a few got the rings?)
all the others I can think of are the rest of the Dead Earth, the DC 1000000 and the Gary Concord legion and none of them really seem to have enough story to be included in most lists.
TBH, I'm using Stiles work to make a "complete" list of legionnaires for future use. So if it is acceptable, I'll only guess the two this time.
Don't be too impressed. Here's where I got my list from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Legion_of_Super-Heroes_membersYour list has a heap I hadn't considered.
I think there are only three all honourary members that I haven't tried yet (although Theena and Mrissey aren't on my list!)

Thanks for the clarification Ibby!
idle: 0/2
stile: 1/18!
the last correct answer has been guessed.
oh, and if I extend the list to Honorary/Reserve members, stile gets 2/18, not 1/18...
so to clarify: the 1/18 on stile's list is someone who has *also* been an Active member at some point... and the other 1/18 is someone who has only been Honorary/Reserve, but not full on active
I can't believe I forgot to ask about
Theena
Mrissey
I think they were members (wasn't it said everyone was but only a few got the rings?)
all the others I can think of are the rest of the Dead Earth, the DC 1000000 and the Gary Concord legion and none of them really seem to have enough story to be included in most lists.
TBH, I'm using Stiles work to make a "complete" list of legionnaires for future use. So if it is acceptable, I'll only guess the two this time.
If you have the patience, you could probably also draw from the Multiverse Legion Idol round 1 list
I actually have mined that list, but figured that a lot of those (like the arthurian Legion) wouldn't be usable here.
I think I get you, but just to make sure:

I admire your dedication and wouldnt guess the connection even if I had a clue.
I wonder if there are too many characters on the list, and thus the connection is a bit obscure. but maybe it will click into place once you get the last 4! I think these last 4 will be considerably more illuminating
0/18 for the last batch
Thanks idle. If I can't guess the connection when I complete the list you are most welcome to try.
The large number has meant a different approach here, narrowing down the individuals almost one at a time using lots of known negatives, different to how I usually make the attempt. Still it is working.
Yes, Ibby, when we are finished we can get a better idea if this large a number will work going on, but we will get this one done!

18/18! you got the list, stile! care to guess the connection?
Veilmist and Firefist are the standouts due to their brief period as legionnaires, but what distinguishes them from Blood Claw and Flederweb?
Chameleon Girl, Night Girl and Rond Vidar are also different.
I cannot think of any connecting adventure, origins, death, or even costume that does not also fit others.
Sorry but I think I need a hint.
good reasoning. a hint: trying to think of a hint that leads you on the path, without giving it away completely...
this list can only ever have even numbers.
are you wanting to guess the connection, EDE?
I think I know, and if IBBY would like, could provide a hint to what I think it is. I will say that it was Firesfist and Veilmist that tipped me off.
I'm all for you giving hints, idle!
First, EDE's post is also a hint
Second, the connection is a characteristic of the Legionnaires not an adventure.
Thirdly, the connection (once you knw it) is more obvious for eight of our list than the others.
I'm a dunce. I actually thought of couples or relationships but every time I saw Triplicate Girl I thought of Reboot Luornu instead of the original and her long term relationship with Chuck. Duh!
Now to check those excluded.
Hmm. If its just couples then Earth-Man should also be there, not to mention Brainy and Kara amongst so many others.
So it's marriage. At first I wasn't sure about Mon-El until I remembered that Tasmia performed her own ceremony while Lar was unconscious in the life support pod.
Was it ever actually established in 5YL that Rond and Laurel were married? Or just in a long term committed relationship? Can some one point me to the issue?
Anyway that's the connection. These are all the legionnaires who were married - and as it turned out to other legionnaires, even if some of them were only added to the roster later or in other realities (e.g. Night Girl). In fact it has to be those that were married to other legionnaires or Matter-Eater Lad would have to be here with his marriage to Saturn Queen who was never a legionnaire - unless you count that short period with Dynamo Boy.
Was your 1 possible extra Invisible Kid II and Infectious Lass? Was she ever officially a legionnaire and were they ever officially married?
Weren't Thom and Nura married in one of the original Adult Legion stories? I guess we have to restrict to main teams or its gets even more complicated.
Just for the record, my third clue was referring to the fact that four couples were next to each other on Stile's 18/18 list. Also, if we include the Adult legion storries, we have to add Brin and Ayla and Salu (unless it is specifically married to other legionnaires.) I really had no idea until I saw Firefist and Veilmist and thought "what sets those two Khunds apart?". Since it wasn't codenames ending in -ist, married was the only other option.
And I guess, technically, the connection is not confirmed, but congratulations on your exceptional effort on this one Stile.
excellent reasoning, stile! indeed, Legionnaires who were married to other Legionnaires
Cos and Lydda are only here, because Lydda eventually became a Legionnaire (when they weren't married, go figure).
Laurel and Rond, I'm struggling to find the precise issue. But several sources I found say it, so I said, ah, let's include them
https://www.cosmicteams.com/legion/profiles/RondVidar.htmlhttps://www.angelfire.com/ca3/LSHRPG/Rond.html#:~:text=Rond%20fell%20in%20love%20with,and%20the%20two%20have%20separated.
https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Laurel_Gand_(Pre-Zero_Hour)
Jacques and Drura, could not find info that they actually got married, so left them out. Drura WAS officially a Legionnaire during the 5-year gap.
and yes, I skipped the Adult Legion continuities, hence no Ayla/Brin, Nura/Thom. Salu would not be here, as she married Duplicate Boy, who was not a Legionnaire.
and the possible two additions, would be Lana Lang and Pete Ross: both were Honorary Legionnaires, and married each other in some continuities.
well done stile, well done! that was a great bit of work!
also well done for guessing the connection, idle!
Pete and Lana! That was a good thought and one I missed even though it was in the post-crisis Superman titles that they married.
It was a good connection and one that doesn't seem so large at first, but just keeps growing. You start with Chuck and Luornu, then Garth and Imra, as the obvious first married couples. Then a break until Gim and Yera followed by Val and Jeckie, and Mon and Tasmia right at the end of v3. 5YL adds a few more (including the Khund couple) with the final two being Reboot Jo and Tinya. You think it will be a small list but it just balloons.
Oh and I tended to think of Rond and Laurel as married even if I can't remember if it was actually stated in an issue. So does everyone else apparently. Thanks for the links Ibby.
Whew! That took a while. I still enjoyed myself but perhaps we should try to stick to smaller groups for the future. Big groups scare off other participants I think.
Incidentally, before anyone thinks I just have a massive memory, I use Google Sheets to track guesses, confirmations and rejections, much like I would on a board if I were playing Mastermind.
Idle, I created the last list before Ibby so if you would like to take this one you are most welcome.
Well, If you insist Stile... I'm thinking of a group of 53 Legionnaires.
Just kidding. I'm thinking of a group of 8 Legionnaires. For this list, I'm counting honorary/reserve legionnaires. One last hint, some Legionnaires may qualify for this list multiple times, but the eight ignores repetition.
yeah I agree stile, the Legionnaires married to each other list just grew and grew! I thought I had them all, then I thought of another pair, and another...
thanks both, stile and idle, for bearing with me and that long list!
ooh fun, idle! let's try

ibby; 6/10
Stile: 8/10
Both may guess the connection. (I am curious about your reasoning for picking your lists although I can wait until this round is over.)
I am mainly going by who MUST be on the list (by elimination), and who is similar to them
Elastic Lad
Superboy (Kal)
Supergirl
Lightning Lad
Superboy (Jon)
Mon-El
Laurel Gand
Karate Kid (Val)
Kinetix
Gates
Elastic Lad
Superboy (Kal)
Supergirl

I'm not sure of the connection. There is a strong suggestion of the Supers and or a Superman connection (Jimmy for example) but not others that might have been included (Ultra Boy). Still guessing.
Elastic Lad
Superboy (Kal)
Supergirl
Cosmic Boy
Mon-El
Karate Kid (Val)

nice connecting, stile!
Elastic Lad

Supergirl
Cosmic Boy
Mon-El
Karate Kid (Val)
Superboy (Connor)
Superboy (Jon)
Timber Wolf
Lana Lang
Ibby: 9/10
At this point I will say that the Superboy connection is coincidental although there is a reason for it.
I was thinking: are these Legionnaires who have had their own solo title, even if only a mini-series?
with a full list of:
Elastic Lad
Superboy (Kal)
Supergirl
Cosmic Boy
Mon-El
Karate Kid (Val)
Superboy (Connor)
Superboy (Jon)
Timber Wolf
Batman?
Ibby has the connection. Legionnaires who had at least one self titled series.I would have counted one-shots but there aren't any. The 8 to 10 miscount was due to my thinking of all the Superboys as the same (probably because i was thinking titles more than characters)
So
Jimmy Olsen
Superboy (Kal)
Supergirl
Cosmic Boy
Valor
Karate Kid
Superboy (Connor)
Superboy (Jon)
???
Can you get the last? I know there is some arguement about the last character's status.
Also, I didn't include Batman or Lois from the two single-issue alternate timeline stories. (Bruce adopted by the Kents and Krypton Girl)
nice! one question solved, now the other...
I honestly thought Lana Lang had a self-titled series at one point, but now I know I'm wrong. hmm...
Of course! Sandy Anderson/Inferno.
my second guess would have been Bart Allen/Impulse.
It was Inferno. I consider her as an honorary Legionnaire even if it was never stated.
And I think someone pointed out that Bart was never an honorary Legionnaire.
that someone was probably me
but it's always good to have back-ups... in case of differences in considering
after all, you consider Sandy an honorary, even if there is an argument about it...
anyway, I am thinking of 3 Legionnaires.
Timberwolf
Kinetix
Element Lad
(I doubt it's Idle's favorite three legionnaires, but why not?)
I knew these were among your faves (from the Idol game), but I don't think I could have named them exactly
you have 0/3!

Female legionnaires who can fly without rings?
one at a time is too slow for me.
Lightning Lass
Dream Girl
Shadow Lass
idle: 2/3. that is not the connection (if it were, it would include Kinetix, Kid Quantum II, Nightwind (Reboot version could "fly" using her wind powers), Thunder, Andromeda, Chameleon Girl)
stile: 0/3
hint: the connection is related to a particular story!
Supergirl and Dawnstar is such an unusual pairing that you think it would stand out, but I got nothing. Maybe something during the original Crisis? Dunno.
Sun Boy
Blok
Invisible Kid II
Polar Boy
Night Girl
Stone Boy
stile: your connection is close - it was indeed something related to the Original Crisis!
also: stile 1/3
idle: 0/3
Supergirl
Dawnstar
Invisible Kid II
re the connection, I will give it to stile, as he figured out the story. I won't reveal the full connection yet, in case you still want to guess more
Still haven't picked the exact connection, but either this list is correct or the next one will be.
Supergirl
Dawnstar
Sun Boy
Then the answer must be:
Supergirl
Dawnstar
Blok
... but I still haven't figured the connection.
I cant think of anything either. The only interaction I can think with Supergirl and Blok is when they are on Monitor's sattelite just before it explodes, but Dawnstar isn't there. (I'm probably just misremembering something)
stile figured the three.
Dawnstar, Supergirl and Blok connection is that they were all chosen by Harbinger/Monitor, just at different stages. Dawnstar was one of the original 15 chosen to guard the tuning forks in various eras. Supergirl and Blok were part of the next 15 chosen to go to Earths 4/S/X.
Ah. Tricky but interesting connection. Nice choice. New list soon.
thanks stile, glad you liked it
OK I am thinking of a group of 7 legionnaires.
