    Default Legion 5 Years Later help

    Hello all been reading 5 years later and got used to them out of costume and learning the names as adults after the legion split, but now the SW6 have come in. I have tried to find a version of this that list each legion member by name to help learn the younger more expanded team. Can anyone help with names of the top row along with the 4 above Cham and Phantom Girl. Also right below Phantom Girl who is in the pink? Also purple and green down the bottom. Thanks

    The reason your having trouble identifying them, is that the top row are the heroes in their 1960's costumes. (Which means you have to be a super Legion geek like me to know them all)

    (Going from left to right) Karate Kid, Princess Projectra, Collossal Boy, Invisible Kid 1, Lighting Lass, and Ferro Lad.

    Just above Chameleon Boy and Phantom Girl is Matter Eater Lad and Element Lad.

    Captain Nostalgia is spot on, but I think Lightning Lass, based on what appears to be the feather chest emblem, might be in her 'Light Lass' phase. (Same person, but her powers changed for a while from lightning projection, like her brother, to a sort of anti-gravity effect (making things 'super-light').)

    And this picture really shows us whose costumes stood the test of time. Sun Boy, Ultra Boy and Mon-El more or less have the same outfit, from the time they appeared to 60 years later, with only moderate tweaks, while so many other Legionnaires have gone through radical changes in color and style!

    Also, to answer the rest of the OP's questions, the female character on the bottom in purple and orange is Triplicate Girl (there is nobody in purple and green unless you were talking about two different characters, Shrinking Violet is wearing green) and the male character below Phantom Girl in the pink is Cosmic Boy.

    Yes I meant two different characters. Thank you all for the quick response. I am going to jump back and read some silver age stuff. Really enjoying 5 years later so far interested to see what happens when the older versions meet up with the SW6 batch. Going to have to grab the follow up omnibus and maybe the Legionnaires Book One as it seems to pick up where omnibus vol 2 ends. Glad to finally be getting into LOSH.

    Just to give you a heads up Legionnaires Book One is the beggining of the Reboot era. A day one reboot of the team. It does feel a lot like the SW6 Legion, but it is a brand new version. It does take some cues from the SW6 like having Ferro and Invisable Kid having bigger roles and Laurel Gand taking the Supergirl role as Andromada. It also adds new characters like XS, Kinetix, Kid Quantum, Monstress, Magno, Gates, and Thunder. Some hate the Reboot era, but I actually really loved the first couple years of it.

    Brainiac 5 is purple and green . And he is there. At the center. Why everbody always ignores green people? It is no easy to be green...

    Because we think they are sick and don't want to shame them.

    Actually, it was Light Lass who later changed her name to Gossamer.

    I was aware it was Light Lass, Lighting Lass is just the default mode my brain automatically goes to when I think of Ayla.

    Not really bothered by it.....I just wanted to help a poster out who has a name as cool as Judge Dread.

    It still pisses me off that all of the Waidboot is collected in trades while so much of the Reboot and years worth of the Levitz era still are not. If your going by quality and reader interest the Waidboot would be the last thing collected.

    It is Laurel Gand in her early Mon-el suit.
