I'm busting these out in between CS calls at teh day job, so rather than go back and fix my many typos, I'll just plow on ahead.

LEVIATHAN's body is stolen from Shanghalla. He teams up with Deadman to hunt down the graverobbers, who turn out to be DC editors desperate for a new, stupid idea, intending to plug him into the Jordinator and bring him back to life.

TENZIL returns home to find that someone is killing the great chefs of Bismoll, and sets out to solve the mystery. CBS picks up the series, and it becomes, "Murder, He Ate"

Some of these actually sound quite good, but these two in particular sound horrible:

Forgotten how she hated the gravity powers so much last time she got herself killed trying to change them back?
Speaking of which, how come Ayla's not been getting [literal] headaches over Jarth...?

One sentence hm?
ULTRA BOY: Rough, yet down to earth and morally incorruptable do-gooder from the wrong side of the tracks has to cope with married life (and a new kid) with the privileged first-daughter of the UP while attempting to quel the rampant gangwars and corruption on his birthworld Rimbor despite pressure from old gangmates to tip the scales in their favor while fulfilling his more galactic responsibilities to the UP as a member of the Legion.
WILDFIRE: Bombastic, outspoken, possibly immortal, maverick big gun of the Legion lineup has to struggle with emotions stemming from the loss of his physical form brought on by the developing feelings he has for a female team member as he tries to establish a life of his own (being a newly created fused entity who really only came to being about two years ago) and attempt to define his place in the universe despite the many setbacks and frustrations that come with very human desires locked in an energy containment suit.

See below.
ELEMENT LAD - He finally achieved his heart's desire, which was to advance to another plane of existence, but his absence from the Legion has caused a time/space anomaly that the Time Trapper seeks to rectify by plucking an alternate Jan from a parallel timeline, a solution that causes serious conflict at first when Jan meets Jarth, but after a while they decide to be twins and go on to have many remarkable adventures together until the day Ayla jealously interferes with their relationship and Jan turns her into cheese spread, causing his fellow Legionnaires to wonder if they can ever really trust him, so he leaves the Legion goes off alone to seek his own destiny in the upcoming solo series "The Amazing Adventures of the Uncanny Element Lad".
