Oh, I missed EDE's guesses. So now, the correct answers guessed are

1. Polar Boy
2. Nemesis Kid
3. Reflecto
4. Quantum Queen
5. Cosmic King
6. Saturn Queen
7. Lightning Lord
8. Power Boy
9. Quantum Queen
10. Dynamo Boy
11. Command Kid
12. "False-Pretenses Lad" (the one I wasn't sure if counted or not)

Yeah, that's it. And I see now that I forgot about Blackout Boy, Magnetic Kid and Size Lad. So all-in-all, I'd say that's a win for EDE.

I'm curious, what made Polar Boy count as a full Legionnaire? This would have been too early for that alternate timeline story where COMPUTO "won" and the Subs joined.

Polar Man is a member in the Adult Legion story.

One could also throw in White Witch (whose Adult Legion membership was mentioned in a Superman story), as well as Color Kid and Douglas Nolan (who were revealed to have joined the Adult Legion in letters pages).

True, it was Polar Man, not Polar Boy who joined. And I didn't know about any of those others.

Ah, of course. Same story as Quantum Queen and Reflecto.

I always assumed all the Subs had joined the Adult Legion. I can't quite recall if I saw it in letters pages though.

Polar Man does say something about the two teams merging, and we see that Night Girl did not join, but I don't think they specify about the others.

Yeah, the story says that both teams had lost so many members that they decided to merge, but it's not specified who was on the resulting team. The only further info we are given is that the editor states on one of the letter pages that other members of the Adult Legion, such as Color King and (I believe) Sun Man, were off on a mission during that story.

New question:

Which two Legionnaires were created by George Vincent and Mike Rickford?

IIRC, the team merged while on Shanghalla. But only 5 team members actually attacked COMPUTO and the LSV. I wonder what happened to the others? I always assumed everyone present on Shanghalla was part of the new merged team.

That's the LSH #300 story, not the Silver Age Adult Legion story.

Oh yes, I was referring to that story. Didn't know the previous comments were on the Silver Age Adult Legion one. My bad.

Okay, the Adult Legion discussion and the other "lost" Legionnaires was fascinating. Thanks, folks! Great thing to wake up to.

My guess:
Chemical King and Timber Wolf

Both characters have been guessed, but not by the same person!

I'll give it to whomever gets the correct combination.

I think IB must be correct, as they both debuted in the same issue.

But still, I'll through out White Witch and Chemical King.

Ibby has it. It is Shadow Lass and Chemical King, as revealed in an issue of the Legion Outpost.

See this article for the deets!

I was trying to think of Legionnaires who debuted together too.

Speaking of the Reboot Legion, what do Violet, Gates, Star Boy, Karate Kid, Wildfire, Shikari, Gear, Timber Wolf and Dreamer have in common?

Nope.

It has to do with their pasts.

Nope, many others besides them would have met that condition.

It is something about their personal lives.
