She was certainly one of the most versatile teleporters in comics.

I'm looking for a list of all the different Weaknesses Legion characters have...or villains, or even other heroes... so far I have...
Kryptonite (All Kryptonians) Red Sun (All Kryptonians) Use one power at a time (Ultra Boy) Daylight (Night Girl)
I've also added...Nighttime (use only in the daylight) and limited number of uses per day...
Can you please add to this list and if they are taken from a specific character please tell me who.
Thanks Much!
I have lived for the Legion and one day I shall die for the Legion.

Wildfire can't function outside of his containment suit, and usually explodes on contact with air, being a massive danger to everyone around him. Quislet can't remain in our dimension without his ship. Tellus is dependent upon his life-support gear (which is particularly odd, since everyone else in the Legion gets by just fine in alien environments just using a transsuit). Cosmic Boy *used* to wear a bubble helmet as well, suggesting that Braalian environment isn't compatible with that of Earth, but since he no longer does, that it's something that can be adapted to. All three would be some sort of gear / life-support dependency. I *think* that Ultra Boy was once described as having some sort of vulnerability to radiation and / or an inability to use his penetra-vision to see through copper, but I could just be pulling those out of my butt. Some Legionnaires seem to be pretty psychologically / emotionally vulnerability, such as Sun Boy and Brainiac 5, being more likely to have some sort of mental issues than their teammates. Timber Wolf, former drug addict, but that's long over. Dream Girl, must be asleep to use her power, which is also uncontrollable too boot, and only happens as a function of plot. (Reboot and Threeboot Dream Girls were able to precog while half-asleep and / or awake.) In the Reboot universe, Chameleon Boy (and all Durlans) were susceptible to a certain frequency of sound, that made them lose control of their shapeshifting and pass out (used by Ras al-Ghul against Cham). In the Reboot universe, Projectra has no arms, and is dependent upon robotic arms to manipulate things. In the Threeboot universe, Star Boy (and all Xanthuans) can't process sugar and are essentially super-diabetic. In the Threeboot universe, Titanians (such as Saturn Girl) have lost the ability to speak aloud, and are mute.

Ultra Boy is definitely vulnerable to certain types of radiation, but the can't see through copper thing was Star Boy.

All of the Daxamites are vulnerable to Lead if their serum runs out.
Chameleon Boy and all Durlans can have their shape changing ability frozen temporarily by Cancelite. Contracting Yorgian fever is how R.J. Brande lost his ability.

Cosmic Boy - Gauntlets to recreate his powers artificially makes him unstable.
Timberwolf - Radiation may affect the Zuunium in his system triggering mutations/ transformative cycles.
Karate Kid - Will die when exposed to any Keith Giffen plot.
Invisible Kid - When in a crisis, may uncontrollably teleport to another realm/ teleport foe into space etc. While done positively so far, he may end up being the one teleported somewhere fatal.
Although not a full member, Kid Psycho's power use would reduce his life expectancy.

I'm in need of digging up issues that have White Witch in them from the original series. So far I have the story they introduced her as Hagga the witch and the Magic Wars. Where else has she been a major character? My understanding is she joined the Legion after the Magic Wars. Other than her being sisters with Dream Girl why else was she premiering in other issues if she wasn't a member?

She joined the Legion after helping out during the Great Darkness Saga. Most of her appearances were after that.

White Witch also appeared briefly in Adv. 370, when she teamed up with Projectra and Nura to foil Mordru. That's the only other appearance of hers I can recall prior to the Great Darkness Saga.

She is mentioned, though I don't believe she appears, in a Superman story where her membership in the Adult Legion is revealed.
A quick search of the interwebz reveals this as Superman #213.

I have seen Wildfire's power described as anti-energy, is this the same as anti-matter?

Nope. Anti matter is just oppositely charged matter.
Energy is the capacity for a system to perform work.

I've been doing some research on the Time Trapper, and I wanted to double-check something. Pre-Crisis/Pre-Glorithverse, the Time Trapper in Superboy & LSH 223 is the real one, but the one in 280-282 is the Controller stand-in, right? And there are no Time Trapper appearances between 223 and 280, right?

According to Comicvine, there was a Time Trapper appearance in LSH 224, but I've never read the issue to confirm this:

I have the Archive with that issue, so I'll check. I'm guessing it's just a brief appearance, with the Trapper turning out to be alive and spying on the other characters and scheming and generally being evil.
Thanks, Stalgie.

As I said earlier today in Bits, I've created a new fanfic continuity I call "Every-Boot", which seeks to link and give equal value to every version of the Legion.
For my second Every-Boot story-arc, I want to delve into the possibilities of where the Post-Boot Legion might have gone if DnA had passed the baton to another writer after Legion Worlds.
So I need a lot, and I mean A LOT, of Post-Boot references.
The first one I need is to find out everything there is to be known about the 3-part Widening Rifts story-arc, because it hasn't been reprinted, and the back issues are prohibitively expensive.

CHaim Mattis Keller's Help File has issue summaries of every issue up to Widening Rifts. But if you don't want to download it... Maybe try looking for issue summaries online?
Widening Rifts happened before Legion Lost and Legion Worlds, I always felt it and Legion of the Damned should have been collected together.

I tried downloading the Help File, but it's got some kind of outdated format issue.

I have those issues saved as Comixology files on my computer so I can give you some of the plot points you need, if you don't want the actual files themselves.
