Shvaugn although still acop 1st and foremost, she's older than the legion this time 'round, and didn't start out as an enamoured groupie who seduced Jan and later turned out to be a guy.

XS Kinetix (unless you consider her the reboot version of Quislet ) Gates Magno Monstress Kid Quantum II Thunder Shikari (unless you consider her the reboot version of Dawnstar, which DnA have stated was not their intention) Gear. That's nine so far.
ALTERED Legionnaires:
Projectra to Sensor was the biggest change. Wildfire is now a fusion of two people (Radion and Blast-Off, both of whom were new characters). Violet has both shrinking and growing powers. Ferro was born in the 20th century. Kid Quantum I was human, not Protean/Antarean. Apparition is now half-Carggite. Mysa is the daughter of Mordru, and has not joined the Legion. Polar Boy is currently a Legion Cadet, so apparently he gave up on the idea of a "Legion of Substitute Heroes" before he, Night Girl, and their unseen recruits got past the training stage. We haven't learned Timber Wolf's postboot origin yet (we first saw him on Rimbor, but IIRC we don't know if he was born there). Dirk Morgna, Tenzil Kem, and Jacques Foccart have not joined the Legion, and Chuck Taine has never had meta-powers (as far as we know ...). Also, as of this writing, Live Wire has a crystalline body and the power of transmutation, and Element Lad and Leviathan are dead.

President Chu the Athramites Aven of Titan Inferno Lori Morning Brainiac 4 Winema Wazzo might qualify; I don't remember the name of Tinya's mother preboot. There were others, of course: members of the Workforce and the Uncanny Amazers of Xanthu (such as Particon, Atom'x, and the ever-popular Konk), Amalia Crugg, Jancel Ardeen, Tinya's father, Tangleweb, Ze Tongue, Cos's former magnoball coach ...
Other ALTERED Characters:
Roxxas was a Daxamite. the Empress was pretty different from the preboot Emerald Empress. the Emerald Eye never used to talk. Universo is Titanian, with full telepathic abilities. Leland McCauley is dead (which I regard as a poorly-considered move on DnA's part; as a catalyst for problems for the Legion to solve, McCauley was a useful character. Ra's could have impersonated someone else to become UP president). Insect Queen is, as far as we know, a native of 30th century Xanthu. Mordru has fought the JSA on modern-day Earth, and will apparently someday establish an interstellar empire (which will not include Earth) which will fall sometime before the founding of the UP.

Dreamer...first started off as a ditzy narcoleptic...now has no need for sleep due to intense Khundian training...her pre-boot self was continually obsessed with her looks and took a hissy fit every time she broke a nail...Monstress sort of adapted that persona post-boot...she is now very accurate in her dreams.
How about R.J. Brande himself? He's still THE richest being in the United Planets but he's not a Durlan and he's not Chameleon's father this time around. He had a run as President of the United Planets and financed the building of the current Legion HQ, Legion World.
Chameleon...when he first joined he only spoke broken English...it was later revealed to be a ruse IIRC (I could be wrong). He developed a strong friendship with Invisible Kid, Sensor, and has/had a crush on Spark.
...more later

Oh, I'm at least as interested, if not moreso, in personality differences

Actually, he's third according to the Beginning of Tommorrow TPB intro [McCauley WAS fourth]. The top earner was "sealed," and the second also wasn't mention.

Actually, it was Atom'X not Radion.

Particon wasn't from Xanthu, but was a member of the Workforce.

Maybe someone could compile a list of the differences between preboot Legion family members and postboot Legion family members? There is quite a bit of variance...
