OK..here we go...
Name all the Legionnaires whose bodies have gone through bizarre changes. I'm only counting changes that lasted more than one issue.

Cosmic Boy - lost powers, went insane, became Time Trapper
Saturn Girl - does being pregnant count?
Lightning Lad - lost an arm. The whole "Jarth" thing, the whole "Proty" thing.
Triplicate Girl - lost a couple of bodies, one of whom turned out to have been Glorith's slave
Phantom Girl/ Apparition - burned to a crisp, reabsorbed into another of her half-Carggite selves
Brainiac 5 - does that mullet count? Aged by Glorith
Timberwolf - plastic surgery, Furball
Shady - lost a finger
WILDFIRE - originally lost his body, later inhabited the corpse of Sun Boy
Sun Boy - burned to a crisp as his powers were eating him alive. Body later reanimated by Wildfire
Starboy - does that beard count?
Vi - lost an eye, lost a leg, gained a green streak
Sensor - from snake to half humanoid snake
Kinetix - where to begin??
Ferro - stuck in iron form
Dawnstar - wings hacked off, possessed by Bounty
Element Lad - became Progenitor (does that perm count?)
Andromeda - became a little girl after emerging from the Anomaly
White Witch - de-aged by Glorith
Ayla - de-aged by Glorith (I think?)
Blok - changed form, but I'm not sure how bizarre that was
Invisible Kid II - got that white streak after seeing Darkseid
I dunno, that's all I got ...

Dawnstar, because the food was too "processed", she prefers her food au natural.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you!
Drake and lance apparently both managed to forget that classic of LSH bizarre physical changes, the fat@$$ing of Matter-Eater Lad!!
"Gee, Brainy, what do you want to do tonight?"
"The same thing we do every night, Bouncing Boy: try to take over the United Planets!!"
They're B.B. and The Brain ...

And, come to think of it, shouldn't Chuck be on that list also. His body went through a bizarre change when he BECAME Bouncing Boy. 
"Hey Jim! Get Mon out of the Zone!! And...when do we get Condo back?"

i didn't forget ME-Lad actually - but Drake came up with so many I didn't have the heart to get nit-picky.

Dr. Lanphier because he does not have an 'o' in his last name.

Cute. But more specifically, what in Legion history did three of those doctors deal with that the other (and which other) did not?

Doctor Landro was the only one who had nothing to do with Lightning Lad's metal arm.

Good question, Eryk. I've come up with 11 so far, and some of these are questionable.
Mordru - Mysa
Titania - Lazon - Mist Master - Silver Slasher - Neutrax
Hunter1 - Hunter2
Stargrave - Brainiac 5
I am pretty sure Kenz Nuhor's brother attacked the Legion at some point, but for the life of me I cannot remember the story.
Which of these count?

Were the Super-Assassins actually related? I don't remember that being the case at all.
And Stargrave and Brainiac Five ended up not being related, so they don't count.
I'm going to disqualify Mordru and Mysa as well, since they Mysa wasn't "really" a villain, and, even if she were, they weren't related at the time she fought the Legion.
So, basically, we've got four so far (the two Hunters and the Naltorian brothers).

The League wasn't related although I do seem to recall the terms brother and sister being used. I never took it to mean actual blood realtions.
What about Garth as Starfinger and Mekt? That count?

hmm... thought the assassins were related - or at least, they used the term cousin. I'll have to look it up to make a cogent argument for it, though.

Hagga and Pharoxx
Otto and Adam Orion
Kenz Nuhor and brother Yark Althu
Leland McCauley III and IV
Lars and Molock Hanscom
Uli Algor and her brother Byno (Sunburst)
Validus and uncle Mekt
Garth as Starfinger and the Composite Legionnaire and Mekt
