Very good, Future, you got Brin, Chem, Dawnstar, Pol, Tellus, Nightwind, Gim (whom I admit I forgot), BB and DD. Power Boy was never a Legionnaire though he did attened the Academy. Again, great work, but there are three others whom you've missed. The Q will definitely go to you, though, since you've gotten the most right. Knowing you, though, you'll probably want to guess the last 3 before asking the next Q?

Hmm. I'd like to guess them, but I'm having some difficulty. I know White Witch and Invisible Kid II trained at the academy for a day or two shortly before the Omen storyarc, but I don't know if you'd call them students per se.
Wasn't Atmos at the Academy for some time, off-panel? Another 5-Yr Gap member. I think Myg fits this description too, as Karate Kid II. Mentalla trained there but never made Legion status, nor did Comet Queen who went on to become a Substitute.
That's about all I can conceive! Now I'd really like to know which three you had in mind.

You got Karate Kid II. The other two I had in mind were Crystal Kid and Visi-Lad, both of whom joined during the Gap. I'm really not sure about Atmos, so I didn't count him.
Nice job, Future! Ask away!

Ah, Crystal Kid! Good memory, IB. Visi-Lad my mind also can apparently do without.
Which five Legionnaires have been turned to frogs?

Chuck Taine would prefer drinking that super plastic fluid which gave him his Super bouncing powers in the first place.

Hmm...I guess this would be a pre-boot/post-boot conflict, wouldn't it?
What say you, Brainiac?

Chaim got what I was thinking of, since it specifically mentioned in Legionnaires 66 that Chuck would prefer a gingold to the drink he was having. Good guess, though, beardguy.
You're up, Chaim!

Wasn't gingold the name of the soda he was attempting to drink when he accidentally swallowed the the super-plastic fluid in the preboot, as well?

Maybe if it was a ret-con, EDE. Gingold is most associated with Elongated Man, he had discovered that circus rubber men drink it, and he used a concentrated version of the stuff to give himself stretching powers.
The post-boot reference was obviously to that (i.e., indicating that Chuck may be developing a predisposition for bodily elasticity), but as far as I recall, such a reference was never made in the pre-boot.
Following the shooting of Laurel Kent, which JLA descendants had theit lives saved by the Legion?

I must be misremembering. I knew it was a reference to something, but I don't know why I developed the notion that it was the name of his soda.

Twice.... The Fatal Five Damaged it badly back in the Aventure Run, and Wildfire TOTALLY destroyed it Fighting Omega. There may be more but I haven't been paying mych attention to the Zero Hour Reboot Legion, but do plan to check out the NEXT Legion reboot. Hope it doesn't suck. : )

Postboot, the Blight sabotaged the Legion Outpost to blow up (which it did). Otherwise, this current reality has been safe.

Brainy also blew the HQ up once or twice around the beginning of the Levitz era.
Computo also converted the Clubhouse into a walking computer, and Dr. Regulus stole it, both during the Adventure Era.
Lightning Lad severely damaged it with out-of-control lightning in Adventure #300.
Calamity King brought a pillar down, but was asked to leave before the whole Clubhouse collapsed.

And Chronos brought down a wing during their early re-boot battle.
And, as Future mentioned, Outpost Allon was destroyed by the Blight, but their replacement headquarters (an old Science Police satellite) was also destroyed during Widening Rifts.
