The Mission: The Khunds have allied with the Dark Circle and a newly-formed Legion of Super-Villains and are planning to attack not only the UP but also invade the Kwai Galaxy. Many Legion cadets have already been inducted into the Legion to help out, but they're definitely not enough. Pick a six-member Legion team to spearhead the recruiting of possible cadets in the Kwai Galaxy.
The Team: Shikari - Obvious reasons Saturn Girl - Close ties to Kwai galaxy and mental persuasion Chameleon - Outgoing spokesman and has been there enough Wildfire - Works well with cadets historically...surely scouting them should be fine Cosmic Boy - Legion founder status and to get a taste of where his friends were stranded Kinetix - Multi-purpose security detail should any leftover Credo attack
Next Mission: An unidentified assassin has been targetting former members of the Uncanny Amazers. Konk is missing, Atmos and Insect Queen barely escaped with their lives, and just the other day Kid Quantum II trapped a bomb meant for her in a stasis field. Send a team to Xanthu to help uncover the mystery of the Amazer Sniper.

The Legion is unavailable for this mission as they are all currently getting their nails done. I guess we'll have to call in the Titans for this mission!
Starfire has the deep space experience. She'll lead the team.
Nightwing is their best detective. He was trained by Batman after all! He'll head up the investigation.
Cyborg can use his cool gold Omegadrome body to protect the others on the trip through deep space to Xanthu! Once there he'll work on locating and rescuing Konk.
Jesse Quick, borrowing the Flash's Cosmic treadmill, is needed to propel the Titans 1000 years into the future.
Troia is the team's muscle.
Arsenal has the experience to get into the Sniper's mindset. He should be able to help Nightwing identify and locate the culprit!
Next Mission: The Fatal Five has travelled back through time to team up with the Fearsome Five! Together the two teams plan to revive and unleash the Demon Trigon on the Earth. Select a team of Legionnaires and Titans to band together to stop the Terrible Ten's dastardly plot!

Five Legionnaires...
M'ONEL... from the 21st century *and*, well, he's M'onel!
ANDROMEDA... a Fatal Five/Fearsome Five combo merits stacking the team.
BRAINIAC 5... tactics AND force-fields!
ELEMENT LAD... to counter Shimmer.
SATURN GIRL... to handle Psimon.
Five Titans...
DONNA TROY... 'cause I miss her.
DAMAGE... 'cause I miss *him*!
CYBORG... perfect opponent for Tharok.
SUPERBOY... tactile TK would be the right power to face Mano.
TEMPEST... magic to face Emerald Empress and Jinx.
I'd adopt the old JLA/JSA team-up style, only the snazzy logos announcing those teamed up would feature the *villains*. Each scene would start with the bad guys, with the heroes soon crashing the party.
Titanor has possessed the Heroes of Lallor and is laying waste to that group's planet. Which six do you send to foil Titanor and his 'lackeys'; Beast Boy, Gas Girl, Life Lass, Duplicate Boy and Evolvo.

A combo of Titans and Legionnaires again:
SATURN GIRL to take on Titanor
BEAST BOY versus, well, Beast Boy!
KINETIX preterrorform Zoe, naturally, as a counter to Life Lass' animation powers.
BRAINIAC 5 for tactics plus that forcefield to take Gas Girl out
RAVEN, just in case Imra has trouble with Titanor, plus I think her powers should be able to take out Duplicate Boy
TEMPEST, as a precaution and backup.
[b]NEXT MISSION: Which six do you send to Talok VIII to help modernize the planet after their recent darkfield problems and get the Talokians ready for UP membership once more?

All-Legion for this assignment, as six of them fly off to aid Talok VIII's jump back into heavy technology.
Umbra for her homeworld expertise and having seen the U.P. tech through new eyes once.
Brainiac 5, who will of course have all the right gadgets and know where everything will need to go.
Cosmic Boy to aid in material transfer in the reconstruction.
Triad, who can coordinate the Legion's efforts with the planet's diplomats and provide a helping hand or two.
Gear to aid in the system start-ups for the new tech.
M'Onel for his muscle, expertise with the galaxy, and speed to help with repairs.
Next: The core Espionage Squad of Triad, Chameleon, Invisible Kid, Violet, and Sensor has been captured while on assignment by some Corvan terrorists. Only Apparition escaped, unable to be physcially caught. Send a second group of six stealthy Legionnaires to try to spring the jailed Espionage Squad.

Since Apparition escaped, she'll head the rescue squad comprised of: - XS - Shikari - Umbra - Gates - Karate Kid
Next Mission: The Legion's looking for a few good sentients! Rather than regular try-outs, the Legion is sending out a team to scour the universe for new members. Pick six members of good judgement and the people skills for an interstellar recruiting drive!

Interstellar recruiting drive: COSMIC BOY - The guy who has been described as }the nicest guy in the galaxy" is a natural for this mission, and he has enough experience making tough decisions as a Legion leader KINETIX - Radion had a crush on her before, so I'm betting she can have a similar effect on quite a few potential recruits. Plus she's used to making tough decisions - look at how many clothe4s she has to choose from! INVISIBLE KID - he's charming and cool, and he's practical enough to be able to decide impartially SATURN GIRL - she's a bit of a diplomat in her own right and she can help weed out possible traitors APPARITIOB - she's definitely used to dealing with people and she has enougb experience to be able to choose well TRIAD - Neutral definitely has the people skills an the three bodies' different viewpoints can help the team make the best possible decision NEXT: Strange happenings have been reported on Tenazor-4, the planet where Brainy left Koko. Send a team into the jungle to investigate.

A mixed Legion/Titan/Super Pets team on this one:
Invisible Kid, Chameleon, Proty II, Beast Boy, Beppo the Super Monkey, Sensor.
Invisible Kid will lead the team and coordinate activities;
Cham, Proty, Beast Boy, & Beppo will mingle with the native monkey population to sniff out clues;
Sensor is there to use her illusion powers if needed but also for intimidation. Monkeys have an inate fear of snakes.
Next Mission: Emerald Empress has set herself up as ruler of Ventura (again). She has brought Saturn Queen, Sun Emperor, Titania, Lightning Lord, Validus, and Cosmic King with her as her "Royal Court". With all the far flung missions that the Legion is currently handling, the only active Legionnaire available is Jarth! What 6 heroes does he recruit to join him on this Royal Pain in the Ass Mission.

With Garth left to fight such nasties solo, he recruits...
Andromeda, a former Legionnaire but still a powerhouse. Gas Girl, the Hero from Lallor to help subterfuge. Atmos, former Uncanny Amazer now without a home. Insect Queen, ditto. Nightwind, powerful Legion Cadet. Infectious Lass, another Legion Cadet with great potential.
Next Mission: Steve Wacker materializes into Legion World and declares, "Enough is enough! Find Tinya's 3rd body and finish this dangling plot line!" Never ones to argue, the Legion quickly dispatches which six Legionnaires to investigate and locate Tinya #3?

- Apparition (naturally) - Shikari: cuz if you want someone found... - Ultra Boy: cuz there's no way he's staying home for this one - Invisible Kid: did someone say "investigate"? - Saturn Girl: cuz she was useful the last time Tinya was missing a body. - WILDFIRE: just cuz...!
NEXT MISSION: M'onel's gone insane again! Or has he? There are reports that he's causing trouble on the "seeded" worlds. Pick 6 Legionnaires to confront M'onel and find out what's going on!

- Tasmia: because of the pre boot relationship - Karate Kid: is skilled enough to take Mon down if needed. - Traid: one of those closest to him - Superboy: power & friendship - Cosmic Boy: being a Founder would carry weight with Mon - Saturn Girl: can read his mind and determine sanity & she's also a Founder
NEXT MISSION: Kinetix has miraculously de-Terraformed into her orihginal self! But she has no memory of her former life and what she was like. Pick 6 Leionnaires to help her deal with becoming the real Kinetix again.

Break out the tissues and holo-scrapbooks, ladies! Kinetix's friends rush to her side. Violet: The prodigal best friend Spark: Friend and willing to slap Zoe around to help the memory job. XS: Close friend & moral support Saturn Girl: Telepathic nudge in the right direction Live Wire: Friend from the Team 30 days and has gone through his own body changes. Star Boy: Uh, no reason. I just always thought he and Zoe looked kind of cute together. *shrug* Next Mission: Several acolytes of Dr. Mayavale have begun attacking New Earth domes in their radical spiritual mission. Send 6 SW6 Legionnaires to apprehend Mayavale's wheeling/dealing mist chums.

Triad - Similar reason. Also Triad seems like the legionnaire who is most observant Brainiac 5 - He could invent a time viewer to help review Zoe's life and intergrate it into her brain Cosmic Boy - As leader when Zoe joined he would have input about her life. Saturn Girl - Her telepathy could help drag memories from the subconscious out into the conscioous Dream Girl - Her powers involve the workings of the mind, which I presume she educated herself about its workings. Next mission: The Legion is putting on a charity show. Which six Legionnaires would be the most entertaining and what would they do to entertain us?
Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!

Chameleon Boy & Princess Projectra Because I remember they were 2 of the SW6 who got zapped right away and they deserve some page time. Mon-el - Muscle, muscle, muscle Shadow Lass - because where Mon goes, so does Tasmia. Dream Girl - Forewarned is forearmed Sun Boy - Because he is bright Next mission: The Legion is putting on a charity show.

More than INVISIBLE KID? No way! (Remember him spotting Apparition's pregnancy and dealing with Imra on their return journey to the Kwaiverse...) I'd say VIOLET's pretty observant, too. Love the idea of Brainy wiring a time-viewer into Zoe's head... as a permanent addition?! Why should he be the only one who is 'accessorized'? Todd

Wildfire as Mano M'onel as The Persuader Sensor as Emerald Empress (seems fitting) Cosmic Boy as Repulse Umbra as Devil Karate Kid as Ra's al Ghul
next mission: the Dark Circle has infiltrated Legion World and has planted several nuclear devices, set to go off in 24 Hours! Which six members would you pick to root out the conspirators and stop the bombs!?!

Why, the most successful charity shows are always bachelor auctions, so....
Mon-El Star Boy Karate Kid Cosmic Boy Invisible Kid Ultra Boy
A new School fo Super Villains has been started! Which six Legionnaires will be chosen to infiltrate the organization and masquerade as an *existing* villain? What villains will be each Legionnaire's 'cover'?
Cham as Ron-Karr Garth as Mekt Element Lad as Cosmic King Cos as Magnetic Kid 1 Mon-El as Nemesis Kid Sensor as Empress (agree that it's fitting and to maintain illusion for the others.)
Next mission: the Dark Circle has infiltrated Legion World and has planted several nuclear devices, set to go off in 24 Hours! Which six members would you pick to root out the conspirators and stop the bombs!?!
Shikari - to find the bombs & conspirators Gear- to disarm the bombs Element Lad - to insulate the bombs Mon-El - for power to deal with the conspirators Karate Kid - same as Mon Timber Wolf - same as Mon & Val
Next mission: Mordru has reappeared and taken over Zerox, the Socerors World! What 6 Legionnaires go to battle him?

Zerox Rescue Squad has been sent! White Witch - natch Sensor Girl - able to weed through & understand confusing magic Blok - muscle and to support Mysa Dream Girl - aid her sister & foresee danger Brainiac 5 - for a scientific view of how to handle the crisis Magnetic Kid - you never know when you'll need a good lock-picker. Kidding, kidding...can magnetically use Zerox's soil offensively or defensively to trap Mordru. Next: Tropical storms and tsunamis threaten the agricultural world of Manna-5. Send 6 Legionnaires to aid the citizens in surviving the natural disasters.

Spark, because her Future Farmers of Winath background would come in handy. XS, for evacuations and other fast stuff. Terrorform Zoe, because who knows what ill-defined hypertaxis powers might accomplish in this environment? Ultra Boy, for the heavy lifting. Invisible Kid, to coordinate and think outside of the box. Gates, also on evac duty.
Next: Charma has boosted her powers technologically to enthrall and control every male Legionnaire! Send a female team in both to stop the enthralled, loved-up male Legionnaires and Charma.
White. A blank page or canvas. His favorite. So... many... possibilities.

The Time platform has been stolen by Chronos. Send a time traveling team to track him down and recover the platform.

Track down Chronos: Three obvious ones: Brainiac 5 - our resident time expert, of course Kid Quantum II - time travel powers should come in handy Shikari - to find Chronos, of course
And three not so obvious ones: Violet - sneak up on Chronos unnoticed and wreak havoc on that glove of his Live Wire - to zap him fast before he can time travel away XS - she's dealt with him before and we do need speed too
NEXT: Dreamer had a vision which says that Chuck must travel to a jungle planet and find an ancient temple with a magical fluid which will give him bouncing/stetching powers so that the Legion can win its next battle. Send a team to help Chuck with his task.

NEXT: Dreamer had a vision which says that Chuck must travel to a jungle planet and find an ancient temple with a magical fluid which will give him bouncing/stetching powers so that the Legion can win its next battle. Send a team to help Chuck with his task.
Would Dreamer just tell Chuck he'd be getting vague 'superpowers'-- or would she actually say 'bouncing/stretching' powers?
1. BOUNCING BOY 2. DREAMER-- who'd have to satiate her curiosity. 3. STAR BOY-- who'd think it sounded like a cakewalk and a chance for 'cuddlin'-time'. 4. CHAMELEON-- who could guide Chuck through the perils of first-time shapechanging. 5. TRIAD-- I'm on the preboot-preservation side today. 6. CHLOROPHYLL KID-- who'd exert some control over the wild jungle flora.
There, they'd encounter JUNGLE KING and ANIMAL LAD (who'd leave with them to enroll in the cadet program).
SHIKARI or DAWNSTAR would've been obvious choices, but would take the 'questing' away from CHUCK.
THE LEGION OF SUPER ASSASSINS was chased to the Puppet Planetoid, where some mysterious force (Brainy presumes it's GLORITH) has turned LAZON, SILVER SLASHER, TITANIA, MIST MASTER and new LSAers DUNE and NADIR into marauding infants. Which Legionnaires will Brainy choose to accompany him for some 'tot-wrangling'?

She'd probably tell him so, but who knows?
Tot-wrangling: 1. Brainiac 5 2. Princess Projectra (trick the babies with her illusions) 3. Element Lad (for some inescapable baby "cages") 4. Saturn Girl (puts the babies to sleep) 5. Light Lass (gently carries them into the "cages") 6. Chameleon Boy (babies just love animals!)
Next: A black hole is threatening a bunch of inhabited planets. Send a team of 6 to either evacuate or stop the black hole!

Going preboot on this one!
Evac/Black hole Crisis:
Brainiac 5 - Problem solver Sun Boy - Power and experience on evacuations Mon-El - Multi-purpose Ultra Boy - Ditto Dream Girl - Coordinate and monitor how much time they have Star Boy - Perhaps provide a solution to the black hole problem
Next: A scandal about M'Onel as Valor breaks out across the UP. Someone has spilled the beans. Choose six Legionnaires to hold a press conference and address the people about this touchy subject.
