Not dolls and I'd be looking for how the powers were obtained too.

Special genetic engineering of his Durlan duplication powers. He acquires them when someone gets close enough to him.

I am pretty sure Chaim is correct for the Reboot, but in case Thoth is referring to the original Pre-Crisis 20th Century version he was a cleaner at a museum that included statues of the Legion when ... er ... some radiation? Kryptonite? ... reflected off the statues and gave him all their powers. Something else like that. Damn I only read it last year. He had previously become the composite Superman/Batman in a similar way before losing his powers and memory.
(Now I so want to look this story up. Someone please answer it so I can without a guilty conscience.)

Lightning striking the Legionnaire statues in the Superman Museum turned janitor Joe Meach into the Composite Superman, which was made possible because the duplication machine which created them left traces of their powers in the statues. This process was later duplicated by the alien Xan, who became the second Composite Superman before changing his name to Amalgamax.

(Now I so want to look this story up. Someone please answer it so I can without a guilty conscience.) Yeah, I was wondering if I should answer for the Preboot version or for the Reboot version. Though in the Reboot they called him (?) / her (?) / (it (?) the Composite Legionnaire, if I remember right. More gender-neutral

There is a Composite Legionnaire from the S/LSH era, though, who was literally an amalgamation of four Legionnaires. The Reboot Composite Man was inspired by both the Composite Legionnaire and the Composite Superman.

I figured we were talking about post-boot, since he was being referred to as "Composite Man." The pre-boot version was properly called the "Composite Superman."
Not counting his appearances as a member of the Legion of Super-Villains, the Hunter's (Jr) quarry was, on two distinct occasions, a Legionnaire. Which Legionnaires were these?

One correct. As to the other, you're thinking of the right story...but Cham wasn't who he was after.

Correct! Of course, he didn't really know at the time that it was Kid Quantum he was after...he just knew him as something else.

Yeah! what tripped me up, I think, was that they started calling him and his "siblings" "The Composite Durlans" later on, when the others were introduced...

After Ras Al Ghul seemingly dies in an escape attempt, what secret do the Legion find out about how he survives?

What was the name of the planet where Tasmia went in search of a cure for Mon-El's injuries from his battle with the Time Trapper?

This planet is not the home world of any of the Legionnaires.

I'm struggling to recall the name, but it was run by a guy with a pipe, wasn't it?
