This is a one-shot.
Listed are ten 30th/31st century organizations, and ten Legion characters. The puzzle is to match the characters with an organization that they belong to.
Here's what makes it hard: the characters might have belonged to more than one group at different times in Legion comics history, but you can only use each group once. If I designed it right, there's only one combination that will work.
Maybe everybody could put their answers in spoilers so that if one person gets it the next one can still try.
The characters:
Blok Colossal Boy/Leviathan Dawnstar Evolvo/Evolvo Lad Insect Queen Lightning Lad/Live Wire Mon-El/Valor/M'Onel Repulse Silver Slasher Star Boy
The ten teams:
Legion of Super-Heroes Legion of Substitute Heroes Legion of Super-Heroes, reserve membership Legion Academy Legion of Super-Villains League of Super-Assassins Heroes of Lallor McCauley's Workforce Uncanny Amazers Oversight Watch
I tried to make it tough but I think it came out a little easier than I wanted. See what you think.

<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">Star Boy is the only Sub, leaving IQ as the only Amazer. That leaves Garth as the only reservist (unless one counts resigned members as reserves), so that part is easy.
Evolvo is the only Lallorian, also, so that leaves Repulse as the only Workfoece member, which in turn leaves Lar as the only one to fill the Oversight Watch.
The remaining categories have too much overlap, as far as I can see: If Silver Slasher counts as LSV, then Blok counts as LSA, and Gim and Dawny are interchangeable between Academy and LSH. If Silver slasher counts as LSA, then Gim counts as LSV, Dawny as Academy and Blok as LSH.
Option one:
Legion of Super-Heroes: Dawnstar OR Colossal Boy Legion of Substitute Heroes: Star Boy Legion of Super-Heroes, reserve membership: Lightning Lad Legion Academy: Colossal Boy OR Dawnstar Legion of Super-Villains: Silver Slasher League of Super-Assassins: Blok Heroes of Lallor: Evolvo/Evolvo Lad McCauley's Workforce: Repulse Uncanny Amazers: Insect Queen Oversight Watch: Mon-El/Valor/M'Onel
Option two:
Legion of Super-Heroes: Blok Legion of Substitute Heroes: Star Boy Legion of Super-Heroes, reserve membership: Lightning Lad Legion Academy: Dawnstar Legion of Super-Villains: Colossal Boy League of Super-Assassins: Silver Slasher Heroes of Lallor: Evolvo/Evolvo Lad McCauley's Workforce: Repulse Uncanny Amazers: Insect Queen Oversight Watch: Mon-El/Valor/M'Onel</span></span>

I'm going to put my response in spoilers. In case anyone wants to try the puzzle, could you go back and put your answer in spoilers too?
<span class="spoiler_containter"><span class="spoiler_wording">Click Here For A Spoiler</span><span class="spoiler_text">The answer I had in mind was the first one, with Colossal Boy as the LSHer. I don't count him as a member of the LSV, and if he was ever a member of the Academy I missed it.</span></span>

great puzzle, BTW! I'd love to see more of these as one-shots.

Thanks. I do have another one in mind, but I don't know when I'll put it together. (Could be as early as today, if I get in the mood and have time.)
