Ah, drat - I was thinking about the time when Brainy hit Elysion with the dirt clot containing Atom Girl, which slowed him down from mauling Lyle...

It wasn't Matter-Eater Lad in Evillo's weird hell realm, was it? I remember Sugyn being somehow useful against all odds

Sugyn blew out the candle that must never ever ever be blown out, but not with a sneeze. So no, not Tenzil.

Ok, I'm gonna say Shrinking Violet, but I'm unsure of the specific context..

Not Shrinking Violet, either.
I'll throw out this hint (and I'm kind of pleasantly surprised this wasn't so easily guessed, given the level of Legion scholarship here): the sneeze in question was self-inflicted, by the Legionnaire whose life was saved (i.e., saved his or her own life by it).

Hmmm, well I think I'm going to have to back into this one....
I'm pretty sure that its not Superboy or Supergirl - we've seen in other stories over the years that their sneezes can be pretty devastating...
Maybe Brainiac 5?

Okay next guess on my list that has some kind of logic applied but without context (i.e., I don't know the story):
Bouncing Boy?

Gaseous Lad has it - it was Chuck!
Don't know the story? It was the back-up story in Superboy # 199. Bouncing Boy is captured by the (then) new Hunter - son of the original Hunter, from Adventure Comics # 358 - who decides that he will out-do his father by hunting and killing the Legionnaires, but doing so one at a time instead of the whole bunch at once. He decides to start with Bouncing Boy, as the weakest of the team. He hunts him in a natural setting with no gravity (Hunter wears special boots that keep him on the ground). Chuck immerses himself in a cold stream of water to give himself a cold, and just when Hunter is about to kill the haplessly floating balloon of a Legionnaire, Chuck sneezes, propelling him in a ricochet that crashes him into Hunter.

Aha! It was the ricochet concept that I was thinking about when I started lining up who would think of sneezing to get out of a jam. Chuck would definitely think about that to carom into something to create an attack angle if he was floating - much better than just exhaling! But I had no idea as to what story, and since its a backup and not in a recent Omni), I'm pretty sure I haven't read that!

OK - sorry for the delay on a new question! It's been a bit crazy on my end the last few days!
What was used to trap two would-be saboteurs from preventing the Dagoskians from joining the United Planets?

Ibby is correct! And I thought I was getting obscure with that one from Showcase!

Read it a few times, and had to reread (relatively) recently as I did a chapter of my pic on Dagosk ok let's see... what did Chuck Taine once make for Sensor, to complete her costume/outfit for a nightclub?
