Ferro. I don't know if iron will help though as the rules of magic seem very different. Infectious Lass. Wizards are still human. Thunder is magically powered and should have an advantage. Kinetix has been shown to absorb magic before. Calamity King to trip up those darned wizards. Emergency! Dr Gym'll's voluminous comic book collection needs organizing. Which 4 Legionnaires are patient and detail oriented enough to help out?

GEAR - although reading about all the destroyed mechanical beings down the years causes him to rebel against the Legion.
Cosmic Boy - Like his coat, he's pinched the lot from our time to sell on for a profit in the 31sr century.
Chemical King - He's got to take up a hobby waiting of his next appearance.
Stone Boy - With the reflexes of a particularly disinterested comic book store employee, he's a natural.
Brainy - It turns out he has his own secret collection, where he's been ripping ideas off of Lex Luthor all these years.
Emergency!
Galactus is hungry. He puts on his Nebula Napkin, checks his Cosmic Cutlery for cleanliness and materialises on Earth. Pick a fantastic four Legionnaires to put a stop to Aerial Head's snack plans.

Just for fun...
Brainiac 5 stands in for Mr. Fantastic. It remains to be seen how terrible a husband he will be.
Invisible Kid for the Invisible Woman. Sadly, Brainy has to use his own forcefields to scam Galactus, making Lyle's self-esteem plummet even more.
Monstress for the Thing. She's just as big but a lot sweeter! And she politely asks Galactus to leave after giving him fashion tips, that poor misguided thing.
Harmonia for the Human Torch. Picked her over Dirk so she can try to wow Galactus with how old she really is.
Emergency!
The brainwashed X-Men have attacked the Legion! Pick 10 Legionnaires to face off against:
Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Storm, Colossus, Shadowcat, Banshee, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Sunfire.

Cyclops - Does Mon-El even feel that? >splurp!< Jean Grey - What Fun! Quislet's energy form is immune to mind tricks and possesses that massive crushy object. Good luck with the TK against that cliff. >splurp!< Nightcrawler - Where could he appear next? Nura knows. >splurp!< Storm - Insulated against the lightning and too dense to be moved by any storm. It's Blok >splurp!< Sunfire - Is it warm in here? thinks Supergirl as she flies out into deep space for some punches. >splurp!< Shadowcat - Jan has just turned that whole 2 mile area into intertron. Best of luck coming up for air >splurp!< Colossus - What's the melting point of living steel? Dirk is all about the science. >splurp!< Banshee - That's a nasty, fatal throat affliction you have there. Thanks to Drura >splurp!< Rogue - Can't steal what you can't touch. Can't breathe in the crushing ROnd Vidar ring construct. >splurp!< Wolverine - Cosmic Boy throws him up into orbit and towards the nearest sun. A fight of less than a second. >splurp!<
Emergency! It's another fill in issue on the Harras Avengers run. Even the Avengers have gone on holiday. Pick Legionnaires to stand in for Black Knight, Hercules, Sersi, Crystal, Vision and Black Widow.

Do you mean the Great Frog Society? It's the only Great Frog band I could find. Chemical King does vocals. I always imagined he would have this sexy baritone, especially because the Postboot version is a reporter. Triplicate Girl's third body on the guitar, I imagine she would be good at that. Ferro Lad on the drums, he is good at rhythms because of his metal body. Monstress on vocals while playing the tambourine. Leviathan on keyboard. Who knew the big soldier had musical talent? Bonus: Invisible Kid I and Element Lad do backup vocals while Magnetic Kid does backup guitar. Emergency! Half the Legion, including Brainy, is down with the flu (not Infectious' Lass fault don't worry). Pick 5 Legionnaires to care for their teammates and make them well.

Okay, I got the Great Frog reference now. It's the band Roy Harper played in. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Quis!

Duplicate Damsel will be very helpful for round the clock nursing for all the sick Legionnaires
Dream Girl, who is no slouch of a scientist herself to find a cure
Matter-Eater Lad who can use his culinary skills to whip up lots of chicken soup
Polar Boy to help cool off any fevers
Monstress to help entertain the recovering Legionnaires

Chameleon loves this kind of stuff and can play many spooky monsters. Kinetix can make costumes, sets and props with a wave of her hand. Ferro and Triad sign up as actors. So does Apparition, who leads unsuspecting people on a wild goose chase. Emergency! It's trick or treat on Legion World, but we have run out of candy! Which 5 Legionnaires do you send to get more?

DO NOT send Matter-Eater Lad. For the last party, he was sent out to get some tasty nuts. He went to the hardware store.
Quislet & Blok to make sure that the candy doesn't get eaten on the way back to headquarters
Timber Wolf to smell for freshness
Dream Girl because she will know what everybody will like and how much more they will actually need
Bouncing Boy because he seems like someone who knows candy
Emergency!!!
R. J. Brande has cut the Legionnaires off. Name 5 minimum wage jobs and the best Legionnaire to fill it.

Ultra Boy is a bouncer.
Cosmic Boy collects scrap metal for recycling.
Duplicate Damsel is a one-woman wait staff.

Dragonmage, White Witch and Glorith do magic tricks on the street.
The Invisible Kids, Apparition, Violet, Chameleon and Chameleon Girl gather tips for gossip columnists.
Some of these jobs probably aren't minimum wage... I added a few bonus ones too.

Let's see how terrible I am at thinking of names...

Sun Boy is Heatina Horn.
Live Wire is Emma Randy.
Invisible Kid is Pussy White.
Leviathan is Giganta Globes.

Chameleon is a great story-teller and can shapeshift along to provide visuals. Dreamer does this thing where she pretends the next part of the story comes to her in a vision. Wildfire loves kids, and brags about the scariest Legion missions. Cosmic Boy uses his knowledge of the past to bring to life some if history's scariest monsters. Apparition talks about spirits and ghosts. Emergency! It's the Crisis on Infinite Earths all over again! Besides Superboy, Supergirl, Mon-El, Laurel Gand/Andromeda and Wildfire, which 5 Legionnaires are powerful enough to join the assault on the Anti-Monitor's fortress in the Anti-Matter universe?
Why must power be so elusive?

Thunder and Neon - if Captain Marvel and Jade made the cut, why not them? Kid Quantum II's powers can slow down the living rock. Kinetix's magic may not work but her ill-defined hypertaxis powers should. Quislet can possess and disintegrate the creatures. Bonus: Lume is a being of light, and can conceivably match Dr. Light or the Ray. Emergency! It is the Day of the Dead/All Soul's Day and spirits roam the Earth. Pick 5 Legionnaires to find and close the gateway to the realm of the dead.

Apparition, for obvious reasons. Dragonmage can research on ancient Chinese traditions about the dead and open the gateway to hell. Ferro's iron form protects him from magic. Spirits can be fooled by illusion too - that's where Sensor comes in. Umbra communes with her dead ancestors, maybe she can get them to talk to the spirits. Emergency! It's Guy Fawkes Day, but none of the fireworks are working. Oh no! Pick 3 Legionnaires to give 30th century London its best fireworks display ever!

Just try and keep Gates away! Triad is a great administrator, as is Bouncing Boy. Brainiac 5 gladly helps Gates figure out how to make things efficient. Leviathan knows a thing or two about efficient and effective rules. EMERGENCY! Someone has brainwashed all the Science Police officers on Earth - and quite a lot of them are metapowered. Pick 5 Legionnaires to find the bad guy and save the Science Police!

Saturn Girl to analyze and reverse the brainwashing.
Chameleon Boy, to pretend to be a higher-ranked brainwashed officer and keep the SPs confused.
Sensor Girl / Projectra to disguise the team as other brainwashed SPs, and eventually as the mastermind, to fool the brainwashed masses.
Ultra Boy, to be up-front and blocking fire, and yet so much less dangerous than Mon-El if he gets brainwashed!
Invisible Kid, as a secret weapon, in case the others get brainwashed themselves!
EMERGENCY!
Murran spies and Spider Guild agents are engaged in a shadowy war for control of the vast Metropolis underground! Pick five Legionnaires best suited for rooting them out, while minimizing damage to the infrastructure underlying the entire city!

Shadowy war underground huh? Umbra can see in the dark. So can Shikari, and she can lead the team right to them. Chameleon is tricky and can use his forms to sniff out the bad guys. Apparition can easily phase through the maze. Kinetix can glow in the dark, catch bad guys and repair any damage to infrastructure. Emergency! A meteor storm is heading towards Earth. Pick 4 Legionnaires to destroy them.

The linchpin is Bouncing Boy.
Brainy helps calculate the necessary angles.
Mon-El provides the initial boot to get things moving.
Star Boy greatly increases Chuck's mass, so that he hits with the force of a small moon, smashing into and rebounding from meteors willy-nilly like a cosmic game of billiards.
EMERGENCY!
Streaky got into the space-catnip again, and is now in the middle of an epic freakout, having climbed the UP headquarters building and clinging there for dear life, having forgotten he can fly (and is invulnerable). Pick one single Legionnaire most likely to be able to talk him down without a Kryptonian-powered catastrophe!

Sensor Girl for her position of authority Polar Boy for his enthusiasm for the Legion's ideals Thunder who can talk about the Legion's place in the future (presumably chronoton particle testing will verify she's really from the future)
The Time Trapper has decided to kill Rokk, Imra and Garth's parents before the founders were born to prevent the Legion forming. The founders can't directly interfere in their own personal timelines due to the time travel rules this week, which three Legionnaires will they choose to save them?
