Ibbs has 2 of the 3 with Silver Slasher and Titania.
Who else joined them, Tyr and Hunter?
Not Sun Emperor, Esper Lass, Ronn-Karr or Zymyr

Oh I get it. I was confusing the trip out that Ayla stowed away on with the later time when Jeckie took Orando onwards and left others behind and Esper Lass "messaged" the legionnaires taunting them that she knew the secret of travel and they didn't.
Doesn't mean I can remember who they were:
Terrus and Micro Lad?

Terrus was the one. After I put up the question, I wondered how easy to remember he would be.
Titania didn't take kindly to Terrus asking. About Blok. Then Ayla shocked them all unconscious.
Over to you stile!

Terrus was I think the only original/new villain created for that arc, eh? I don't really remember him doing much though!

I think he was supposed to be a Scarecrow of the future. I had wondered about a pairing of him with v4's, two-face looking, Joker acting, Roxxas.

I hadn't realised Terrus was anew character in that arc. I thought I had just forgotten or missed his first appearance. According to the DC wiki his only other appearance was in Legion of 3 Worlds where he ended up being punched by Blok and he burst apart into a cloud of flying bugs, I guess showing that he was actually a colony being but nothing else was ever done with him.
Great question Thoth. They're the good ones where we all remember the story but the details are tricky.
Here's another LSV question. In an earlier incarnation of the group they plotted to assassinate a diplomat along with much of the Legion using a bomb disguised as a trophy. Which two super-villains made their first appearance in this story?

Sun emperor
Chameleon chief
? Absolutely correct - except that I was apparently mistaken. Both Sun Emperor and Chameleon Chief made their first appearance in a really weird Jimmy Olsen story in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #63 in 1962 which had four 6-inch tall escaped convicts from Kandor being captured by the LSV who disguised themselves as the convicts, conducted various crimes, all with the plan to be captured and sent to Kandor and then sent to the Phantom Zone where special belts they were wearing would rip a hole releasing the Phantom Zone prisoners who they thought would join the LSV in gratitude. However thanks to a warning from Lori Lemaris Jimmy outsmarted them and trapped them in a duplicate model Kandor bottle which Supergirl took to the future. Crazy stuff. Sun Emperor and Chameleon Chief never used their powers in the story with Chameleon Chief even using a plastic head mask like the others. Still this is the first appearance of these villains although as older adults whereas the Superboy #208 story I referred to is their first appearance as their more "contemporary" 30th Century versions. Time travel makes my head hurt, or as Miles O'Brian (two different versions of him) said "I hate Temporal Mechanics." The LSV had a potentially devastating device called a time ray which by shining on a time display of the 20th Century Kandorian criminals transported them to a Kryptonite cage in the 30th Century. Thank goodness that wasn't used again (to my knowledge). Anyway your turn Ibby.

I dub thee Research Lad, thanks for clearing that up stile! ah the zany Silver Age. also the theme naming there along with Cosmic KING, Lightning LORD, Saturn QUEEN, and now CHIEF and EMPEROR. I wonder if there were plans to introduce more - maybe a Phantom Princess, Shrinking Sultan...

Was it the Negative Creature and the Positive Thing? Close enough! The Positive Man was the bad guy, she just decided to kill the Negative Creature along with him to satisfy her Kryptonian bloodlust

I always wondered about that lol! I remember Supergirl thinking "well neither of these things are REALLY alive!" as justification for the poor readers  ok lessee... When Chuck, Tenzil and Marla were defending Legion HQ against an invasion, some shapeshifters copied them. How did they tell who was the real thing?
