Not Nura.
The correct answer is Dirk. Well done, Ibby!
This was unusual behavior for Dirk during the Levitz Era. It made me wonder if maybe he and Ayla had some special kind of friendship that went back to his revealing of Ayla's male disguise in her first Canon appearance?

Lech Lad was going to be my next guess. Got in before me Ibby.

I figured it would be Lech Lad. I wonder if they ever investigated if Dirk Morgna was a distant descendant of 20th century Lech Lad, Roy Harper nice Q, Fanfie! new one soon...

An incensed Brainiac 5 feels put-upon because he has to examine four Legionnaires for medical issues (before Dr. Gym'll is brought in). Who were these 4?

Ok so I'll be that comic book nerd. 5 total, as Kinetix was leaving from her exam with Brainy after she was transformed into an albino cat girl familiar, when she runs into: Element Lad (post blindness) Ultra Boy (Tinya cramps) Star Boy (haywire powers) XS (recent time travel)

LOL you got it, I had almost forgotten that he had just finished with Zoe... though I will also be that fan - Element Lad was there for post Chu brainwashing, not blindness (he would not get blinded until after this scene!) in any case, over to you GL!

That was a good one y'all - I remember the incident (mainly Brainy's tantrum lol) but I couldn't remember who the patients were!

Oh that's right, I forgot it was for the brainwashing! LOL
Give me a minute and I'll figure something out. I'm still on vacation so need to figure something out.

Ok! Sorry for the long wait folks!
Flight rings are pretty cool, but some continuities do more than others. What powers do the flight rings of the threeboot convey?

I've forgotten, but besides flight I think there is environmental protection? and communications. and the ability to go undetected by the UP's broadcast network

There is environmental protection - the ring does enable them to operate as a transsuit in the other versions. As always, the rings enable comms, and in the threeboot they take the wearer off the public grid for tracking those under 18. But there's at least one other thing.

I'm blanking too. That hiding from the network was the biggest thing they pushed in Threeboot early period. Hmm. Did they let Brainy track location?

I don't think it was a secret location tracker. It was a feature unique to the Threeboot.
So: Flight Comms Environment protection Public service shielding
One more item....

I'm pretty sure the answer is in one of those reviews.

Stored your brain patterns to allow Brainy to bring you back from the dead?

Interestingly, there is a whole entry on this out there - published by DC - that lists a lot of functionality of these flight rings. But it does not list the one feature that will answer this question that is explicitly shown early on in the series.
