Chlorophyll Kid?

Nope.

Invisible Kid II?

Not him either.

Tyroc?

No.

White Witch?

That's correct! Superboy's Legionnaire figurines collection, as seen in Legion (Baxter series) # 37, contains all the members up through the White Witch.

I always forget White Witch exists for some reason.

I think a lot of writers do too

There was a pretty big gap between her membership and the next batch of 5, so I often remember her fairly easily. I also liked her principled stand against using the Infinite Man vs the Time Trapper

ok let's see...

which Legionnaire got blinded by Dirk Morgna?

Polar Boy?

Element Lad?

Blacula has it.

In what was a rather stupid story for most people involved, Dirk breaks out of the hospital where he is being held to go see his father. Possibly blinded himself by the *gasp* pain of not seeing his father, and thinking that *double gasp* his father does NOT love him anymore, Dirk burns a freaking hole in the Morgna headquarters, proceeds to "help" (I kid you not, he says "I may be the boss' son but I can still help out!" by grabbing hold of a canister of Dr. Regulus' RADIOACTIVE GOLD, and when the canister begins to burn in his hands, he just says "gee, I should complain to dad about the cheap materials he is using!"

Element Lad transmutes the canister, probably saving Metropolis from disaster. Instead of talking Dirk down, he tries to cage Dirk in inertron, upon which point Dirk blasts Jan and blinds him. Whoo!

So Dirk mopes about how his father hates him for being a fiery freak, but has no qualms about using his powers to do stupid things like blinding Legionnaires and burning down walls and destroying hazardous materials while "trying to help out".

The Legionnaires do decently here - Jan prevents Dirk from causing a holocaust, XS has the presence of mind to take Jan for treatment ASAP, Jo launches himself at Jan BUT anticipates the counter-attack and makes himself invulnerable, and Zoe does a decent job of caging Dirk, delaying him long enough for Dirk's dad to show up. But Zoe's leadership is so not there (well, I don't love her for her leadership qualities anyway

Wow, this issue bothered me more than I thought it did

Over to you Blacula!

I barely remember this issue. I think it occurred during one of the Reboot's low points IIRC? Post-Anomaly, pre-Blight? I hated that period.

The Reboot treated Dirk so weirdly actually. It was like they didnt want him to be a member but then gave him the powers, back-story and angsty sub-plots of a member anyway. They should have just had him join. At least that way we would have been spared the messy membership(?) of that murderer Inferno, who contributed nothing during her time with the team other than forced conflict and somehow received a (really weird and boring) mini-series over literally dozens of better characters. /rant

New Q soon

no, this was actually just after the rather brilliant first two years. LSH 81 - just after the Chu sting and just before the Team20/30 split

i totally agree with you over having Dirk instead of the female Inferno. They didn't even offer her membership because of how horrible she would have been as a team member, I bet.
