Which four Legionnaires were turned to stone against Sthena, and which other two defeated her? ...at least I think that's her name.

Name all the Legionnaires and allies either preboot or postboot who've had some sort of memorial erected to them.

Element Lad (on Trom) The Group Memorial of: Wildfire, Live Wire, Element Lad, Monstress, Ultra Boy, Kid Quantum II, Saturn Girl, Chameleon, Umbra Star Boy (Dream Girl's vision)

For preboot: Beast Boy Chemical King Duo Damsel (2nd body) Ferro (Zero Hour blip) Ferro Lad Invisible Kid Karate Kid Kid Quantum I Laurel Gand Lightning Lad (after his Adv. funeral) Mentalla Sun Boy (with anti-Earthgov graffiti) Superboy Supergirl Triplicate Girl (3rd body) Though they didn't have memorials in their shape, there was a group one for Magnetic Kid, Phantom Girl, and Mon-El at the Ranzz plantation. Blok also later got a memorial I believe. Postboot, the Dead Earth annual revealed memorials for Gates, Galaxy, and Reflecto. And because I'm anal, several living heroes had statues at the Avenue of Super-Heroes (Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Sun Boy).

d'oh! forgot the Dead Earth annuals. and I also forgot we saw a gravestone for Ignot when the team was stranded in the 20th century.
Didn't the Avenue of Heroes have statues of all the Legionnaires? and in preboot, there were a lot of odd memorials seen during Zero Hour, including: SW6 Projectra, Karate Kid & Ferro; Chameleon; Laurel Gand.

Well, together you guys got everyone I thought of (plus some I forgot!) except Gates (included in the group memorial for the Lost Legionnaires). Nice job! You both named an almost equal number of Legionnaires, though... But Future named a bit more and included both preboot and postboot Legionnaires in his answer, so I'll give it to him.

Addendum:
as realities shifted in Legionaires 17, Cham briefly had a monument when Chem King replaced him for one panel (plus the cover) as time streams shifted back and forth.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

and its over to Chaim.
I always liked that sequesnce of Karate Kid's costume change. It always seemed like the most natural way for one to happen. Not some grand "unveiling" but a causal change, like any other clothing change.

I'll stick with a costume-change theme: which two Legionnaires put on new costumes for the first time far away from Legion headquarters?

Would you be refering to Lu and Cham in "The War Between Night & Day" (I think that was it's name)
"Hey Jim! Get Mon out of the Zone!! And...when do we get Condo back?"

No, maybe I need to be more specific. In both of your examples, the first time we saw the Legionnaires in question wearing new uniforms they were indeed far away from Legion HQ, but they were already wearing them, and as far as we know, they put them on before leaving. It was (we assume) a planned costume change, and numerous copies of the Legionnaires' regular costumes are probably stored at HQ.
In the story I'm thinking of, the Legionnaires in question were "seen" (obviously not literally) changing into the new costume, and apparently just discovering the new design to be there, far away from Legion HQ.

How about Andromeda with both her Sister Andromeda and Mini Andromeda costumes?
By that same token - didn't Brainiac 5.1 also receive a slightly altered costume to go with his upgrade in the Anomaly?
And is my memory fuzzy or didn't Kinetix also change her costume out there? Or does that not count since she was always doing it?
