I'll confine myself to the Postboot Legion reality, as I have more knowledge of that Kinetix can talk about defeating the Fatal Five not once, but twice! Once during the Sun-Eater hoax and the second on Tenazor-4 where the Legion beat the Five plus the Emerald Eye. The Sun-Eater hoax thing also comes with the added bonus of stopping a second Braal-Titan war and exposing Chu for the manipulative war-mongerer she was. Violet can talk about the Legion's defeat of Mordru on JS-1967. XS can talk about escaping from the Blight's Stem and freeing Earth and the other Blighted planets. Live Wire can share the Legion's escape from the Kwai Galaxy and his "almost" sacrifice to beat the Progenitor. Kid Quantum II can talk about the Legion's saving time. Same mission, but this time pick 5 Legionnaires to talk about the 5 greatest PREBOOT moments.

Facing off against Darkseid - Nura Nal
Mordru's first defeat - Lar Gand
Ferro Lad's sacrifice - Projectra
Defeating wave after wave of villains in Earthwar - Drake Burroughs
Saving everyone from the influence of Universo - Imra Ardeen
It's practical joke day for the Legion. Pick the four top kidsters in the Legion!

Matter-Eater Lad and Kono. Not sure if this was ever shown 5YL but I wonder who could outprank who... oh wait, Kono outpranked SW6 Tenzil Postboot Lyle always had a prankster streak. Finally, good-natured Bouncing Boy is a lovable prankster whom nobody would be annoyed at (well, maybe Brainy). The Legion's been asked to help out on a goodwill/recruitment tour to the outer fringes of the UP. Pick 4 Legionnaires.

Lar Gand - the military uniform, the history, the stature. Chuck Taine - Goodwill ambassador! Nura Nal - great looks, great smarts, great leader. Imra Ardeen - telepathically picking up customs and gauging events.
5 Legionnaires have been volunteered to be personal shoppers for visiting UP diplomats. Which 5 have the best eye for style, a bargain or perhaps to just lug lots of bags?

Kinetix - not only does she love fashion, she can alter anything right away
Monstress - "oh, that would look so lovely on you dear!"
Color Kid - "Red flatters you so much more."
Chameleon - to easily try on the clothes once he takes the diplomats' forms
Chameleon Girl - same reason
Weight loss time! The Legionnaires have all been super fatassed by Nardo, and the Cellular Trim Ray has been destroyed! Which 3 Legionnaires are best equipped to lead the team in a weight loss regimen while they wait for a new Trim Ray?

Not Tenzil...Not Gim...Not Chuck..Not Luornu...
Reformed 5YG Subs recruit Ron-Karr
Reep just forms himself into a thinner version of the same species every week, the cheat.
Salu will toughen anyone up and get them into tip top shape.
Tinya and Brita also get cheatable mentions.
Emergency! Starfinger is extending his influence across the UP fringe worlds. Pick 5 Legionaries best suited to infiltrate his organisation.

Knowing that Starfinger has a weakness for the ladies;
Salu wears an outfit made up from stuff confiscated from Grimbor and plays the part of a street-tough enforcer.
Mysa casts a spell and assumes her 'Hag' guise, pretending to be an elderly but stern and still sharp-as-a-tack Rimborian Vice-Lord.
Imra uses telepathic illusion and cosmetic disguise to take on the identity of Esper Lass or Mystelor or that other female criminal telepath whose name I've forgotten... (whoever, she makes sure is safely unavailable to mess with her disguise!).
Ayla also pretends to be a brutal enforcer from Rimbor, wearing a pair of 'shock gauntlets' and an 'electro-whip' (which only work for her, nudge, nudge).
Marya / Dragonwing takes advantage of her bad reputation to pretend to have defected from the Legion to work for Starfinger, knowing that all attention will be on her as a suspected triple-crosser, allowing her four teammates a chance to work unobserved!
Emergency! A giant Khund warcruiser has entered Earth orbit, and transformed in Mega-Maid, and is now sucking Earth's atmosphere away! Pick five Legionnaires to deal with this crisis, and the environmental / meteorological devastation that is ensuing!

The fiends!
Star Boy to move the giant switch to reverse on the mammoth vacuum cleaner.
Light Lass to minimise the impact of everything coming back down.
Laurel Gand to scare the Khunds silly, move Mega Maid away, and help with clean up.
Violet to explain to Mega Maid that it should liberate itself from a male dominated empire of evil, and make it's own way in the universe as a free thinking giant female transformer ship.
Element Lad to help with the clean up and to say something poignant about environmental damage.
Angst Emergency! Chemical Kid is struggling to find his place in the Legion. With Element Lad off on SP secondment with officer Erin, which three Legionnaires can show him how to make best use of his powers and become a better Legionnaire.

Bouncing Boy - self-proclaimed chief of morale and a good teacher
Invisible Kid II - another "legacy" hero who kinda knows what CK is going through
Polar Boy - this former sub knows what he's talking about
Emergency!
The Emerald Eye has come back to possess Violet! Pick 4 Legionnaires to help her evade and defeat the Eye.

Not Colossal Boy...
Jeckie is always good to take down the eye.
Reformed, in more ways than one, villain Sarya turns up to claim it back, turning her instantly evil again.
Imra just shuts Vi down.
Supergirl to take the blooming thing and throw it down a singularity.
Emergency! Amazo has reactivated! It's absorbing the powers of 5 Legionnairres. Pick the five that you would prefer Amazo to absorb, to help you defeat it later.

Definitely not Triplicate Girl, Violet, either of the Durlans, Infectious Lass, Kinetix, Gates, Veilmist, any of the Kryptonians/Daxamies, any telepaths, Projectra or Brainy.
Amazo absorbs:
Stone Boy - yeah it's tough but it can't move
Light Lass - Legionnaires are used to defying gravity anyway
Karate Kid - still formidable, but as long as the Legionnaires keep their distance they're good
Chlorophyll Kid - just keep Amazo away from vegetation
Matter- Eater Lad - just stay away from its mouth
Emergency! Several UP ships are captured and stranded in Khund space. Pick 5 Legionnaires to rescue the ships.

Dawny to find them Laurel to play with the captors. Jeckie for those Demon Mother images they hate Lar & Kal to bring the ships back.
Rebooted?! They're not going for that trip to the vets! Pick 5 Legionnaires to play with/ calm down the Super Pets (Krypto, Streaky, Comet, Proty and Beppo), in this Legion Emergency. But their "owners" can't be the ones calming them down.

Tellus' telepathy Quislet, who can't be hurt by them Bouncing Boy, though not nearly as durable Apparition can phase Chameleon
Next:
Pick 5 Legionnaires to redesign costumes for the whole team!

Kinetix and four others from that poor show of future pastimes in an old Adventure Comic. Supergirl, Saturn Girl, Duo Damsel and Phantom Girl probably.
But No! We can do better than that!
Kinetix Violet when possessed by the Emerald Eye has some racy ideas. Jeckie brings us that regal class to the wardrobe. Tenzil is just Mr Style. Sun Boy keeps his eye on fashion. Or at least the models wearing it.
The Legion has admitted 26 members. Pick four legionnaires to "adjust" the UP tax returns, to make everything fine again.

Triad has some tricks up her sleeve from her time as Brande's assistant.
M'Rissey may not be a full-time Legionnaire but he can do this with his hands tied behind his back.
Computo will make sure they leave no trace.
Chameleon in case they need to alter any physical records.
Emergency, emergency!
The clubhouse was thrashed. Pick 5 Legionnaires to redesign and rebuild, including a better security system.

Brainiac will have a fit if he's left out of this. Even if it's just the part about magically building it in seconds.
Computo to work along side Brainy, but this time with a human touch. All the systems will be operational in no time.
Kinetix for the design and a helping hand putting it together.
Laurel for any heavy lifting.
Color Kid for colour schemes.
The United Planets are celebrating the history of Earth music. They've also fallen out with Colu, resulting in four legionnaires being asked to perform Kraftwerk's The Robots. Pick the four most robotic or emotionally void persons for the task, while GEAR works the lighting and Computo works on the simulcast.

Harmonia! Kill the rain.
Mysa! Move the puddles.
Dirk! Make Peebs and the surrounding area toastie.
Danielle! Sort the poor guy's Wifi.
Quick, before Imra hears what you implied about her...
Emergency! Imra has heard what you implied about her. Every sentient in the galaxy has now been mind controlled to wear pink bikinis. Which four Legionniares can shake off this mental domination?

Dream Girl, Kinetix and Monstress have too strong a sense of self/fashion to fall for this. Live Wire can shake it too, out of love. Emergency! Pick five Legionnaires to go head to head against the 5 founding Titans (Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, Wally West, Garth and Roy Harper).

Anyone in a Borther Blood outfit takes out Wally first by default. Today, Ayla is in the costume.
Sun Boy was going to incinerates the ruined character of Harper, but decides to dehydrate Garth instead.
Karate Kid kicks Grayson around for a minute or so before putting the boy wonder out of his misery.
Troy tests the Kryptonian power of Kara Zor-El, and loses rather badly.
It's left to Harmonia to bury Harper after sucking the air from his lungs. She had really turned up to use Terra powers against Logan, but Harper will do.
Legion Marketing Inc are looking for two Legionnaires to star in a movie set in the past allying them with the JLA against the Legion of Doom and the Time Trapper. Which two do you select to go?

The JLA already has so many characters who can punch things really hard, so let's go with Legionnaires with more unique powers -
Kinetix (I'm biased) and Wildfire
Emergency! Pick 6 Legionnaires to take out the founding Avengers - Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, Wasp, Hank Pym and Captain America.

After the two teams join forces and dispatch Wolverine who has turned up after hearing there was a team book out he wanted to showcase his loner status in... Danielle takes over Iron Man's armour and flies him into a mountain. Imra shuts down the Hulk Drura immobilises Captain America with a really nasty illness involving soiled spandex. Jeckie shows Thor that Götterdämmerung has arrived, and off he goes to his destiny. Dirk fries the entire area to make crispy Wasps. Light Lass Ayla propels Hank Pym into the atmosphere. The Legion shouldn't have to actually touch them, should they? Having lost funding, the Legion are now based in a summer camp. But, as part of the deal, they have to teach the kids for the summer season. Pick five Legionnaires best suited to run the camp.

If the Legionnaires don't need to actually get their hands dirty... Bouncing Boy and Duplicate Damsel are naturals for summer camp. Wildfire may have a rough touch but he's really a big softie inside. Polar Boy knows what it's like to be rejected, so he'll make sure no kids are left out. XS also has a way with kids (though hopefully none of the ones here are as annoying as Lori Morning).
