Oops! I knew I was forgetting something tongue thanks Future.

The Postboot Legion fought the Composite Man in L*25/LSH 69, and again in L*55. Only two Legionnaires were present for both fights. Who were they?

Which hero made their debut as an active Legionnaire, then failed to make an in-story appearance for over two years?

I believe there's only one correct answer, but haven't fact-checked every last member.

I was thinking of Colossal Boy, who took over two years to make his second appearance. However, I forgot about Star Boy who took nearly three years to reappear from what I could tell ('61 -'64, unless he appeared in a non-reprinted tale I can't find).

Back to Ibby.

Thanks Future. A bit surprised that Gim was absent for so long, though that may have been because the Legion wasn't regularly appearing at the time?

Star Boy always stuck out for me, because Levitz even came up with an in-story explanation for his long absence!

Okay let's see...

In her only Postboot appearance, Infectious Lass took down two terrorists named Lantern and Arrow. Name at least one of the diseases she inflicted them with.

Indeed, the initial irregular appearance schedule for the Legion helped. I think Thom first appearing in his own standalone story also caused him to fall off the radar when people looked back to the other Legion appearances for references on who to include in newer stories.

I recall one being a stomach virus, but couldn't tell you the species name.

Hmmmm ...

I think there was a stomach virus too - Bismollian Cramps?

Tharrian flu?

Nope to all those guesses.

The three named diseases are all historical, real-world examples. No Pain Plagues or Yorggian Fevers here.

Nope.

Drura mentioned three specific diseases, and also a class of disease. Any of these would be acceptable answers.

One of these was the cause of a rather famous historical epidemic.

I should note, after rereading, it seems that these were diseases Drura threatened the bad guys with. The actual disease she had already infected them with was not made clear.

Bubonic plague was one of them!

Others were Syphilis, Spanish Flu, and "all manner of mutant sexual diseases"

And those are just the Earth maladies.
