Emergency!
The White Triangle Daxamites who destroyed Trom are back! Pick 5 Legionnaires to punish them so severely they will rue the day they were born.
Element Lad deserves to seek justice for his people. Sensor. Love to see how those xenophobes react to a serpentine mentalist. M'Onel. Especially if he reveals he's the legendary Valor. Kid Quantum II can make their punishment feel like an eternity. Thunder is just as powerful as they are, but is magic-based. OUCH! EMERGENCY! Thousands of skydivers' parachutes have suddenly failed to open. Superboy, Supergirl, Ultra Boy, Andromeda, Mon-El, Dawnstar, Wildfire, Shikari and all the Legionnaires with super strength and/or speed are off-planet! Which 5 Legionnaires can save these falling bodies?
Why must power be so elusive?

Gates to warp the Legion to the scene of the disaster.
Nightwind or Sun Boy (depending on boot) creates a powerful thermal updraft to slow the falling skydivers, to buy their teammates time to catch them all.
Cosmic Boy uses his magnetic powers to latch onto everyone's metal buckles and zippers and fastenings to arrest their fall and gently lower them to the ground.
Light Lass / Gossamer slows falling bodies, so that the drift to the ground, light as a feather.
Element Lad turns the ground they are about to land in to water, for a softer landing.
Emergency! Portals to Apokalips have opened on Earth, and armies of parademons are pouring through!
Complication! The portals were misaligned, and they were supposed to be appearing on a different world for a training exercise, but, being parademons, are just as willing to attack Earth, now that they are here anyway!
Pick 5 Legionnaires to set them back on course to some (preferably uninhabited) world!

Policy Pam is drafted - The parademon hordes are too tied up filling in the forms to attack anything. Now, Omega Beam cover...
Saturn Girl - No powers required. She just shows them all the holo of her facing down Darkseid. There's just no way they will mess with her or hers after that.
Sensor Girl - Makes all of the parademons believe that Darkseid has just given them new orders.
Shikari - leads them all back through Kwai portals where they can thump lumps out of the Credo (still being punished posts later)
Chemical Kid - makes the Parademons unbearably happy, at which point they either commit suicide or begin picking flowers.
Emergency! It's a powers free murder mystery weekend with the UP president. But someone really has murdered her aide. Luckily, the Legion had their 4 best gumshoes present. Who are they?

Chameleon and Dreamer are smart and have powers that can aid them in mystery-solving. Brainiac 5, of course. Shrinking Violet has a killer instinct and has useful powers too. Emergency! Earth has been stricken by a coughing sickness. Pick 5 Legionnaires to find a cure.

Brainy, Kent, Drura, Lar and Nura all for their medical/bioscience skills.
Emergency!
Five Legionnaires are need for a round up. A round up of Space Dragons.

Boxing Boy manages to at least grade the combatants into weight categories before realising that he doesn't exist.
Then the Legionnaires step in to take charge.
Duplicate Damsel to handle ticketing and concession stands. Elastic Lad to form into the rings Ultra Boy to get the illegal, cut price Silverale into the event. Chameleon Boy to transform into the Bell Beast of Betelgeuse. Brainy to work those odds, baby.
Stop them? Isn't it time we got something at their expense for a change?
Emergency! In a Miracle Machine induced Frenzy, Matter Eater Lad has eaten Earth in one gulp. Fortunately*, the Legion were off world. But now they have only moments to force Matter Eater Lad to regurgitate the planet! Pick 5 Legionnaire to attempt to save the Earth.
*broadly speaking, it's fortunate, not counting the 10 billion eaten people.

Mon-El, to use his power of super-breath on reverse mode to give Tenz a big smooch followed by a thrilling episode of super-suction! (Set Mega-Maid to blow!)
Saturn Girl, to wipe the memories of everyone having to see this (and the population of earth, for having to see the inside of a Bismollan digestive tract).
Three other random Legionnaires to stand around with their hands over their mouths, looking shocked, horrified, nauseaous and / or slightly aroused.
.
Emergency! The dead heroes of Shanghalla have arisen and are protesting for better memorials and more visitors! Pick three Legionnaires to get these uppity dead-enders back in their graves!

Awww, they just want some attention...
Chlorophyll Kid to add a bit of greenery to Shanghalla. It's a bit barren looking to be honest.
The Karate Kid Revolving Door of Death attraction is sure to bring in some tourists.
Not to mention Madame Projectra who will allow you to talk to the dead hero of your choice for a few bucks. The dead heroes like to reminisce.
Emergency! Lovelorn Tenzil Kem is torn between his wife Saturn Queen and the amazing Super Smooching Powers of Lar Gand. Which three Legionnaires should he turn to for relationship advice?

Sun Boy, who has likely already smooched both Saturn Queen and Lar Gand and can give an objective opinion.
Gates, whose "tough love" style of advice can knock some sense into Tenz.
Lightning Lass, who has tried both sexes as well and can give Tenz some good perspective!
EMERGENCY!
Flame wars have erupted over the 31st century Internet. pick 5 Legionnaires to wade in and stop people from fighting (good luck with that)

Gates. Something else else tells me Gates would be right in his element arguing with people on the internet! Dream Girl, who can foresee any trolls and put them in their place before they get started. Triplicate Girl who can research her opponent's internet history to fling personal crap at them, research futurepedia to back up her argument and type the whole thing up ALL AT THE SAME TIME! Brainiac 5 & Kid Computo: if all else fails, just control the battlefield. EMERGENCY! Mr Nebula has come to redecorate Earth! Pick four Legionnaires to send him packing!

Plaid Lad gets inducted. Anything Mr Nebula touches becomes plaid patterned. Mr Nebula leaves in horror.
Projectra and Saturn Girl combine to convince Mr Nebula that his perfect world has been completed. He departs happy.
Earth Man absorbs Nebula's powers. They both depart to start a combative redecoration holo show.
Emergency! Glorith has reduced the Legion to infants again. Which five Legionnaires have the best chance at survival and returning them all to their normal selves?

Chameleon Boy because small critters can be as dangerous as big ones
Element Lad, Matter-Eater Lad & Blok's powers should be similarly unaffected or powered down too much
and I don't want to keep going back to Brainy as a choice, but he is the smartest baby around and someone needs to direct their tantrums for the greater good!
Emergency! Glorith learned her lesson from the battle babies and has aged the Legion till they're all frail and ancient! Pick 5 golden oldies who can fight osteoporosis AND Glorith!

I like Battle Babies. That's what Giffen was reaching for with Combat Cheeks, Wonder Tot I don't like to go back to Brainy all the time but... Well, he didn't die when Glorith aged him in the 5YG and put together an exo-suit for himself. He could probably mass produce those. Light Lass - enables the others and herself to get around a lot more easily. Wildfire - Glorith's powers may not make a difference to him. Cham - because an elderly giant spiky death beast is only mildly less a threat than a young spiky death beast. Harmonia - hasn't aged in 3000 years, so may be able to shake off Glorith's power more easily. Emergency! RJ Brande's death has left every Legionnaire a billionaire. Which 5 Legionnaires are best able to deal with their fortunes, and use them productively?

I was going to say Brainy, Cham and Imra but I didn't want to overexpose them Dream Girl can foresee market trends and make sure her investment grows. Princess Projectra is used to dealing with money. Lightning Lad can pump his money into his farm, and feed large portions of the galaxy. Cosmic Boy is the paragon of restraint and can coordinate everyone's efforts. For the betterment of the galaxy and all. Bouncing Boy will use his share to better the Legion Academy. Emergency! Glorith got to Mordru this time. Uh oh, a baby Mordru is almost as bad as the adult one, especially since he doesn't know what he's doing! Pick 5 Legionnaires to calm Baby Mordru down and make Glorith re-age him (after they stick him in an inertron cell of course).

Harmonia - She can just bury the child, removing the threat. Element Lad - to make the inertron cell & to threaten Glorith. Bouncing Boy - to be a big play thing for baby Mordru Projectra - to turn the surroundings to a big playroom Mysa - to handle the magic and to recall that they also buried Flaw and Child on Zerox.
Emergency! Miss Matchmaker has attacked the Legion making them all pair off and prompty get kicked out of the Legion. Who will be the last four singleton Legionnaires left to stand against her.

I was gonna say that's awfully cold, but this is Harmonia we're talking about... Emergency! Miss Matchmaker has attacked the Legion making them all pair off and prompty get kicked out of the Legion. Who will be the last four singleton Legionnaires left to stand against her.
Quislet thinks romance silly! Quislet too awesome for any Legionnaire lad/lass! No matter how many Duplicate Damsels get married off, there will always be one more to stay single Tellus probably doesn't even find any of these skinny pink humanoids attractive anyway ...and Comet Queen would probably try to derail the whole plot on principle once she realises she's got no hope of getting her hands on Bouncing Boy... Emergency!! Freddie Krueger has been resurrected in the 31st century! Pick 5 Legionnaires to fight him in their dreams!

Dream Girl, of course. Dreams are her battlefield.
Wildfire doesn't have a body to harm...
... and Blok's stone body is impervious.
Phantom Girl won't be affected either.
And Devlin O'Ryan laughs at all attacks against him.
Emergency!
The Legion needs to have new costumes designed for their appearance on The World Spins! Pick 4 Legionnaires to design and produce new costumes for everyone!

The Anti-Terra-5 Squad!
Sensor Girl sees all! Supergirl also has enough sensory powers she'd be able to spot any covert evil-doing! and Chameleon Boy has the deductive powers to figure out something's not right then can use his shape shifting to keep an eye on her discretely!
Emergency! Chlorophyll Kid's been made the newest avatar of the Green and he's not really keen on being turned into a plant monster. Pick 4 Legionnaires to help restore him to his normal human self!

Compost Kid
Chemical Kid to slow down any transformative reactions. Former Legion applicant "Cleome-47" gets promoted to become the next avatar of the Green. Dirk Morgna to "negotiate" with the Parliament of Trees. Mon El whose Daxamite science helps repair any damage to CK.
Honourable mention to Ivy, who waits in the wings to communicate with any plants.
Emergency! A UP submarine has been lost at the bottom of one of the galaxy's deepest oceans, and all comms have also gone. Pick 5 Legionnaires to locate and rescue the sub and/or crew.

Lamprey gets promoted for this mission! Tellus' body was built for swimming. Wildfire. Anti-energy can go anywhere. Shikari's exoskeleton can protect her in space, it should do in the deep sea. Gear's cyborg body can survive down there, plus he can repair the ship if needed. Historical hysterics! Everyone knows that North Korea was defeated when it tried to invade South Korea, so why has history changed? Pick 5 Legionnaires to go back in time and set the timeline back on the right track - or else everybody in 31st century Earth will be forced to wear Kim haircuts! Ew!

Well, I was going to send Rond. But... So, it's... Harmonia for her temporal and historical knowledge. Tellus for the telepathy. Shrinking Violet for any tactical knowledge the S Koreans require. Laurel Gand. More for her super speed than anything else. Chameleon Boy to impersonate military leaders. As long as Tellus is kept away from any ideology, this team is picked to have a bit more moral latitude than some other Legion teams.
