OK, still feeling my way around this after doing some research, but does it have to do with the name being reused by the same writer for both a villain and a hero?

Pretty much! I actually wasn't looking for the hero/villain dichotomy, just the same writer using the same name for two different characters. In each set, one is more popular/known than the other as well, but I was not requiring that part in my answer.
Go, xben! And thank you finally for stealing this thread from me. i hope you breath more life/interest into it than I managed.

I can't say for sure, but off the top of my head these are the only three characters I can think of who fit this criteria, pre-crisis. If there are others there certainly aren't many others.

Actually pretty much the whole team is expelled at one point or another during the Adventure Era, if you include things like Dynamo Boy's takeover of the Legion. Dream Girl gets several members expelled as well.

Hmmm..... no guesses? What would be a good clue?
Look to the past and to the future.

Just a guess, because I'm unsure of the details on the last, but did they each have a relative displaced in time?
Saturn Girl's son, Garridan, sent backward to become Validus
Cham's dad, R. J. Brande, actually the 20th century Durlan from L.E.G.I.O.N.
The one I'm unsure of is Sun Boy. I seem to recall hearing about a female Morgna being a member of the Titans... but I don't know what her story is... or even if there was a connection to Dirk at all.

each made their comics debut during different try-out for a member of the El family: Imra for Kal's initiation, Cham for Kara's first try, and Dirk for her second.

Nope. I am pretty sure that I talked about this previously on these boards.

I had a dream last night where I stumbled across the fact that the answer to this Triad is that they'd all been to Daxam! Of course, I'm sure that that's not it, and I think in my dream the three characters weren't precisely the same, but I thought it was funny that it entered my dreams at all!
