Just curious which preboot Legionnaire if any that you miss the most.
For me, I can not really name one just yet. Still pondering...

Condo. The real Condo, not the over aged reporter that made an appearance.

With so many old favorites to choose from (Chemical King, Sun Boy), the one I miss the most, ironically, is Dawnstar. Despite being a relative latecomer, she become such an integral part of the late '70s and '80s Legion that it became difficult to imagine the team without her.
Next to Saturn Girl, Dawny was probably my favorite female member of the team. Like Imra, she was more developed in terms of back story and personality than most of the other girls. And, then, there were those wings ...

Mon-el the tortured wanderer isn't quite M'onel the not-wanna-be object of worship, and that latter-day version seems to have the baddies punching him out too easily. I'd like to see more of the spirit and resolve of the preboot Daxamite.

The White Witch. She added the magic element which is missing from the current series.

I'll agree with FC. Mysa not only added the magic element to the series, but was portrayed as a strong, wise, unflinchingly ethical character (at least until vol. 4 came around). I really miss her.

Mysa & Dirk are at least around post-boot, so mybe SOMEday SOMEone will "fix" them.... and Condo Sr. could certainly have a mutant son with uncontrollable chemical powers named Condo Jr--
But Infectious Lass and Dawnstar need to be introduced into the reboot continuity!! I still miss Projectra too.

I go for Sun Boy, who had been an integral part of the Legion all the way through up to the preboot. It amazes me how he has been shelved for so long.
I also miss Blok. The way Monstress was portrayed in her final days reminded me of Blok, and how he became a steadfast member of the Legion (until TMK). The Legion always can use a steady "rock" in their ranks.

I'd have to go with Sun Boy. He was too important to the preboot Legion to be a peripheral character. Second choice Blok, third choice a real White Witch. Both of the latter had an outsider's view of the Legion.
The only consistent feature of all of your dissatisfying relationships is you.
Don't judge me!

I miss Dawnstar. She had a quietness, and a grace about her. And her friendship with Drake made him a better character.

Blok and the White Witch are really good choices.
I miss Tellus and Quislet quite a bit too, though they weren't around that long...

Computo was a member of the SW6 "Legionnaires" team. Yeah, she was fun. I do miss Kent Shakespeare (until someone more than the artist confirms that it was him in #25 , I won't quite believe it). But he doesn't fit this era. Part of the reason I liked him is that he was idealistic when the Legion was down. Right now, the Legion isn't down. Mysa or Dragonmage would be fun, although if magic becomes as deux ex mechana as Jazmin's powers, I'd rather not have a magic user on the team.

Polar Boy for President! No Brek buddies here!?! I also think a little magic would be cool on the team again...

Invisible Kid. The one that isn't dead. (The fact that I have to explain it makes me miss the preboot even more...)

This may be a stretch, but the pre-boot Legionnaires I miss the most are Nightcrawler and Storm. Ohh what could have been.

I suppose I miss Dawnstar the most -- she was such a mainstay during my "glory days" and fulfilled such a specific function for the team that it seemed hard to imagine the team without her.

I...don't think I miss anyone. That's not to say there aren't characters I wouldn't enjoy seeing again.
