When I went through many of the Archives for the first time, I got a few chuckles and breezed through classic, fun stories I've heard about for years.
When I got to the Outlaw Legionnaires two-parter, it took forever to read because I was enamored with it! Simple, but fun...and nice to see the only 8 free Legionnaires and thus the stars were the most underused Legionnaires (save for Brainy & Cham). It took me three read throughs to figure out where Cos and the others went, as I had totally missed Lyle's line to PG that they had been captured at Brande's.
A truly fun story, right behind the sequel-like Universo Project.

Way to go Future, I think you got all of them correct!
This two parter is also one of my all time favorite stories. Glad to know you favor it as well.

Sticking with a Universo-centric theme...
Besides Saturn Girl, Dream Girl, Brainy, & Cham, name four other heroes who were fitted with mental blocks and made slaves on Universo's island.

Can I discount the founders who had their whole names written across their chests in their first appearance?
Phantom Girl sported a P (I think)
Element Lad
Ferro Lad
I think either Supergirl or Mon-el disguised as Marvel Lad sported an "M"
Superboy & Supergirl
That's all I can think of

If you include reservists then add Elastic Lad. Of course you could also count the Founders in their first appearance and REALLY stretch things by counting all the post booters as mentioned above but I assume no of that that wasn't your intention.

Well, I believe Vee got all the ones if you leave out the "L-belts". If you include those you have everyone Reboot listed, plus the SW6 members who weren't in the reboot (at least Matter-Eater Lad, Catspaw, Dragonmage, Computo, Inferno, Bouncing Boy).
I'm inclined to give it to Vee, since I really hadn't considered the L-belts when I wrote the question.

Egads! This may be quite hard.
False-Pretenses Lad (name never revealed)
Command Kid
Dynamo Boy
Lightning Lord
Saturn Queen
Cosmic King
Size Lad
Magnetic Kid I
Blackout Boy
Nemesis Kid
Other people I think could be Academy students Laurel Kent and Mentalla (a traitorous traitor?). Sun Boy and Shadow Lass have also been impersonated by criminals and both Colossal Boy and Ultra Boy have been expelled for perceived criminal activity.

So far so good but I believe there at least two more.

Hmm. In the 5YG, didn't Storm Boy join and was revealed to be a traitor? Not sure if that's one that counts.
Along the lines of impersonation, I forgot one of the most obvious: Yera disguised as Vi.
Can't think of any others at the moment.

Blok was a criminal before he was a Legionnaire. As was Mysa, sort of.

Time for some hints: Both of those I was thinking of were real Legionnaires. One even spent time on Takron-Galtos for his crimes! The other was prominenet displayed in handcuffs on the cover of the issue.

Brainiac 5 is the one who spent time on Takron Galtos for his crimes involving the study of time-travel.
Can't think of who the last one might be. Polar Boy during v.4 maybe? Was he in handcuffs on the cover though?
