If he hadn't been so all-powerful, the Lallors may have become regular characters throughout Adventure and even Superboy, and thus perhaps in mid or later Adventure, Shooter may have rewrit the # 315 plot - Subs tryout test and winner joins legion - with the Lallors in a competition to join the Legion. I think it's more likely than not if Dupe Boy had instead been in the power-range of Ultra Boy (say a duping power but also some odd limitation or certain weakness approximating Jo's one-at-a-time qualification.) I hope to continue my Turning Points pondering in a few days or so. Right now I'm preparing my Final Tally write-ups for Polls that are closing soon. I'll try to squeeze it in when I can.

I'm not sure how that would effect one's analysis of the situation, but Hamilton/Weisinger might have been loathe to turn reader-suggested Legionnaires into villains. They did do that, however, in a way with the Murran spies, so I'm not sure if the consideration is relevant at all.
