Emergency!
Gah! The potato crop has failed, meaning that no one will be able to have potato based snacks!
Pick the five best Legion farmers to sort this out.

Chlorophyll Kid, of course. Spark and Live Wire for their farming experience. Infectious Lass can use her powers to keep bad microbes away and good ones in. Lume to provide some light. (hey, Lume's a Legionnaire in my writing...)
Emergency!
UP leaders have been accused of illegally spying on private citizens. Pick 4 Legionnaires to sort this out, and catch and convict any found of breaking the law.

Computo - Infiltrate surveillance apparatus. Tag it for evidence and then shut the whole system down. If they can't be trusted with it, they don't get any at all, outside of protecting UP boundaries.
Duplicate Damsel to go through all the logs to identify those concerned.
Projectra to judge those found breaking the law and betraying the principles of their citizens.
Mon El - Talking to people with what's left of the comms system to tell them there are better ways to govern than greed, selfishness and corruption.
Emergency! Earth's Easter Bunny has been transformed into a 300 foot creature of egg throwing evil! Pick five Legionnaires to calm the creature and transform it back, or to dress up as bunnies and deliver as many eggs across the planet as possible.

XS can do all the delivering. She doesn't even need to dress up as as a bunny, nobody will know! Star Boy can use gravity to lift the bunny up and keep it someplace were it won't do any harm. Chameleon can calm it down by transforming into a giant carrot, or another bunny. Dragonmage to cast a transformation spell. Kinetix to shield people from the giant eggs being thrown around. Uhoh, the male Legionnaires are the ones being brainwashed this time! Pick 5 female Legionnaires to fight off the boys and break the brainwashing. (no M'Onel or Superboy, but they still have to hold off Ultra Boy, Cosmic Boy, Live Wire, Gates, Brainiac 5, Star Boy, Chameleon, Wildfire, Invisible Kid, Leviathan, Karate Kid, Timber Wolf, Bouncing Boy, Element Lad, Matter-Eater Lad, Ferro, Chemical King, Sun Boy, Polar Boy and Gear at least).

Saturn Girl is the obvious choice for breaking through the brainwashing
Kid Computo in case it's technological in nature
White Witch in case it's magic in nature
Duplicate Damsel can single-handedly hold off a lot of the lesser-powered boys
And Sensor Girl to help buy some time with distractions if necessary!
Emergency!! Mordru has eliminated all the chocolate in the universe! Easter will be ruined! Pick 4 Legionnaires who can restore chocolate to the United Planets in a weekend!

In one weekend only? Yikes! White Witch and Dragonmage because we need all the magical might we can get. Andromeda and Veilmist to distribute all the chocolate they conjure up. Emergency! Now it's the girls who've been brainwashed! Which 5 guys do you pick to hold them off?

No matter which guys you pick, us girls will kick their butts. But since they're being helpful by breaking us free of the brainwashing... Tellus, of course. Brainiac 5 to pull a miracle. Element Lad to restrain us without harming us. Gates to teleport us into prison or something. Cosmic Boy to magnetically pull and imprison. Emergency! The Crime Syndicate are invading the future! Pick 5 Legionnaires to stop them.
Why must power be so elusive?

Wooh the Crime Syndicate are tough, they'd slaughter half the Legion! I'm gonna go with: Mon-El who has the power and maturity to go one-on-one with Ultraman Karate Kid & Timber Wolf for mad fighting skills and stamina Sensor Girl to keep the bad guys too distracted for an easy win And Kid Quantum for her sometimes ill-defined but always very useful quantum plot device powers (I can see her coming in very handy with Johnny Quick for example) Emergency! Marvel's Infinity Gems have found their way to the DC Universe & the Legion need to pick a member to guard each one! Pick the Legionnaires best suited to control: The Soul Gem The Time Gem The Power Gem The Space Gem The Mind Gem The Reality Gem!

Heh. No sending Kinetix on this one. The Soul Gem - White Witch has the discipline to control this. The Time Gem - Kid Quantum II of course. The Power Gem - I believe M'Onel can resist the power. The Space Gem - Gates! His distrust for authority means he'll distrust the power here too. The Mind Gem - Saturn Girl The Reality Gem! - Element Lad is all about change, but knows the dangers of being powerful. Emergency! Legion World has been invaded by Proteans and sentient space monkeys! Pick 6 Legionnaires to retake LW and drive the invaders out.

I like your Infinity Gauntlet Legion! I had Dawnstar for space because I figured her natural spatial awareness would be a good fit but Gates makes perfect sense.....and I was tossing up between Mon-El and Ultra Boy for power...and had Sensor Girl and Brainy for reality/time but I wish I had thought of Jazmin and Jan, they are a great match!
For the cheeky monkeys (and pals): Tellus has shown he is good with animals, Chameleon Boy can match the Proteans' shapeshifting, XS & Gates can make sure none of the slippery little buggers get too far away, Colossal Boy can scoop a bunch up at once and Brainiac 5's forcefield will keep them in one place once they're caught!
Emergency! The Time Beacon's busted! Pick four Legionnaires whose names aren't Brainiac 5 to create something temporary to take its place so time travellers don't get lost while Brainy works on fixing the old one!

Thanks raz! I thought of Brainy too but decided I'd been using him too much Jaz and Jan wasn't planned at all, until I got hit by the last minute inspiration of Jan always having to be careful with his powers. Hehe thanks for specifying that Brainy shouldn't be included! Rond Vidar for his expertise, Gear and Computo to help put it together, and Kid Quantum II in case they need her magical time powers, Emergency! The Legionnaires are asked to write a comic book about the fictional heroes of the Legion of the Message Board! Which 4 Legionnaires try their hand at this?

Cosmic Boy - the closet comic book fan, who publishes under a pseudonym, but loves the control that comes with being able to write the characters, unlike the 'herding cats' experience of being an actual team leader.
Chameleon Girl - the actress, able to get into the skin of each character and bring them to life.
Sensor - the illusionist, skilled at weaving believable characters, scenes and narratives out of thin air.
M'Rissey - if the Legion are going to spend time doing this, he's going to be darn sure that it's marketed successfully and turns a tidy profit!

Oooh, nice one. Brainiac 4 uses her super brain to figure out a scientific method for fixing things. Mordru's magicks help reverse the universes. Big, strong Validus reasons that life was easier when he didn't have to control his base instincts. The Emerald Empress thinks the same thing; fighting the Emerald Eye is tiring! FInally, Ol-Vir decides to be all noble and use his powers to fix things. :Brainiac4: Emergency! The Legion's been kdinapped by Mordru! Their support staff go back in time to the 21st century to recruit some heroes to help out. Which 7 21st century heroes do they recruit?

Fortunately Rond and pals have found their way back to pre-Flashpoint Earth where there are heroes who might actually stand a chance Dr Fate as their sorcery big gun Zatanna to back him up Wonder Woman who has loads of experience fighting god-like foes Black Alice to steal some of his power Captain Marvel (Billy Batson) because both his raw power and the wisdom of Solomon should come in handy Terra to bury him in earth (and because her inevitable heel turn will be fun to watch) And Nightwing to draw all these different personalities together to fight as a team! Emergency! The Teallians have taken Quislet back to his home dimension to be absorbed back into the group mind. Pick 4 Legionnaires who can make the trip to save him!

That sounds like an awesome team! To go to Teall: Wildfire, of course. Celeste Rockfish also turned into an energy being. Dragonmage should be able to handle the energy. Shikari's armor skin lets her survive and her powers let her find Quislet. Emergency! The Legionnaires have to infiltrate a talent contest to catch some murderers. Which 5 Legionnaires either have non-meta powered talents, or can fake such talents?

Yera does amazing impressions, including voices, without even changing her shape!
Brin's gymnastics routine puts the Cirque du Soliel to shame, and is actually a little bit intimidating, as he works in various martial arts moves!
Jeckie gives an exhibition of stately and ritualized Orandan sword-fighting techniques!
Nura's magic show brings down the house, as she convinces members of the audience that she can read minds, find lost objects and saw her 'lovely assistant' Thom in half!
Brainy is booed off the stage in tears, as his dissertation on 16th dimensional physics proves to be less entertaining than he had predicted. (He had standing ovations on Colu! Sob! Choke!)

Poor Brainy. He just didn't read his audience right. XS and M'Onel for their speed, Shikari to guide the way, Gates and Apparition to get them into hard-to-reach places without destroying walls Emergency! The Legionnaires have to save a planet suffering from rapid global warming! Which 5 Legionnaires can cook up a solution to not only reverse the warming, but educate the populace on how to prevent it from happening ever again?

Global warming, huh?
Element Lad to get rid of those ozone gases.
Chlorophyll Kid to grow some plants.
Harmonia to help cool the air (or start to anyway).
Chemical King to start making the environment better.
Brainiac 5 to pull it all together.
Emergency!

Chameleon Boy has some good detective skills!
Celeste Rockfish actually is a private eye already so her skills would come in handy too.
Sensor Girl must be brilliant with crime scene investigation.
The White Witch could probably just prepare a spell to ask the ghost of the dead person who killed them if she has to...
...and Dawnstar can track the murderer once they're identified.
The tallest building in Metropolis has caught fire and turned into a towering inferno of the future! Pick 4 Legionnaires to rescue people from the blaze and put the fire out!

Yay! razsolo is back with some Legion emergencies!
Element Lad to do his amazing trick of transmuting the oxygen into something else, put the fire out, and restore the oxygen before anyone gets harmed.
Polar Boy to cool things down.
Nightwind to fight isolated fires by depriving them of air.
Kinetix to lift rubble and carry people to safety.
Emergency!
Rumors say that a call is going out to every super-powered being who hates the Legion. They're planning to form a Legion of Super-Villains! Which 5 Legionnaires could infiltrate this LSV?

I'm going to go with a handful that very well could be villains.
Projectra's basically going to show up with a group saying they defected and they're tired of the Legion's soft ways and they want to bring order once and for all to the galaxy ... through dominion!
And the LSV would believe her, or be too scared to object. She could be the leader of this upstart LSV.
She brings Gates, who's very very annoyed with the status quo of the galaxy and wants to over throw it for a more pure form of governance.
She brings Mon El, whom she claims has gone mad from so much exposure to the Phantom Zone. No one tests her theory.
A mysterious masked "Green Dragon" who seems to have connections on Rimbor and undefinable super powers. (Ultra Boy being sneaky with his power set)
Dream Girl disguised as good ol Miss Terious in robotic battle suit keeps Projectra one step ahead of the villains as they vie for power and control of the new LSV.
Emergency! It has been too long since Titan blew up. Pick 5 Legionnaires to search for and find a new planet or moon for them to settle on and lead/start the terraforming and rebuilding!

Saturn Girl, as our Legionnaire from Titan, leads.
Shikari for her pathfinding skills,
Brainiac 5 to determine how best to terraform,
Harmonia Li's elemental powers to help terraform,
and White Witch to help and support.
Emergency!
Justice League Day is in 2 weeks! The Legionnaires were asked to recommend 5 Justice Leaguers whom they feel were exemplary heroes. These 5 Leaguers will be the focus of this year's celebration. Which 3 Legionnaires will you pick to sift through the archives and decide?

Hmm I was originally gonna suggest XS for her speed in assessing the gazillion members of the Justice League, but there might be considered a conflict of interests with her connection to the Flash legacy so instead let's have:
Cosmic Boy who has always been into 20th century history (I guess we can safely make that 21st century now)...
Karate Kid who actually spent time in that era without actually being a member of the League, so he can give a unique perspective without being biased, and...
Tellus, who might bring an interesting perspective to proceedings being unfamiliar with UP/Earth history
Emergency: a Red Lantern ring has been discovered and possessed a Legionnaire! Pick the angry Legionnaire and 3 of their teammates to stop/recuperate them!

Anger? Wildfire's a fairly obvious choice, but I'll go with Postboot Umbra. She was really traumatized by the Blight, and she felt cheated by Talok VIII for being asked to see the galaxy to open her mind.
Three teammates to stop her:
Saturn Girl, who tried to soothe her mind once.
Sensor, who isn't afraid to talk down to her.
M'Onel, whom she respects and will listen to.
EMERGENCY!
Someone's been resurrecting dead Legionnaires! Pick a Legionnaire each to beat the following:

Invisible Kid: Catspaw's kitty senses will sniff/sound him out!
Chemical King: Quislet is so alien CK would have trouble finding a chemical reaction that would affect him
Ferro Lad: Cosmic Boy is the obvious choice
Monstress: Mon-El can handle anything she can throw at him
Leviathan: LeViathan can shrink down for the patented "bash his eardrum" trick if she can't beat him at his own game
Element Lad: XS can take him down before he transmutes anything really dangerous
Magnetic Kid: the NOT dead Element Lad can turn all the metal in the area to non-ferrous carbon!
EMERGENCY! A pack of werewolves have been spotted hunting in 31st century Europe! Which 5 Legionnaires can fight the supernatural monsters and figure out where they came from?
