Sticking with the Jimmy Olsen theme, once upon a time Jimmy Olsen attempted to stop a group of Kandorian criminals from escaping by blasting them with what was, unbeknownst to him, a red kryptonite ray, turning them into the League of Fantastic Supermen!
The LoFS consisted of:
1. Lion-Headed Superman
2. Elderly Superman
3. Giant-Brained Superman
4. Alien Superman
Unfortunately for them, their plan to loot distant planets was interrupted when they were kidnapped and replaced by villains from the future!
So, your task is to identify which future Super-Villain impersonated each member of the League of Fantastic Supermen!

1. Lion-Headed Superman = Lightning Lord
2. Elderly Superman = Cosmic King
3. Giant-Brained Superman = Saturn Queen
4. Alien Superman = Chameleon Chief

This is like playing Mastermind, except with no whites (answers correct but in the wrong place).
I think Ibby has the only remaining possibility if those are the four villains. On the off-chance they are not let's try:
1. Lion-Headed Superman - Lightning Lord
2. Elderly Superman - Sun Emperor
3. Giant-Brained Superman - Echo
4. Alien Superman - Cosmic King

Ah, Sun Emperor. That makes more sense than Saturn Queen.
1. Lion-Headed Superman = Lightning Lord
2. Elderly Superman = Sun Emperor
3. Giant-Brained Superman = Chameleon Chief
4. Alien Superman = Cosmic King

And thoth has all 4 correct!
This story, from SPJO #63, featured the first appearances of (the Adult versions of ) Chameleon Chief and Sun Emperor!
Saturn Queen presumably sat this one out as, in her last appearance, she had reformed!

I listened to a radio quiz show tonight. The object of the game is to sneak five true, if improbable, facts past the other contestants. The truths are contained within a lot of false information about a particular subject. One of today's subjects was superheroes. Four Legion-verse characters were mentioned. Which four were considered to be very unlikely super-characters?

Ibby got 2 and EDE 1. The remaining answer isn't as light hearted, but is connected to one of the other 3.
Matter-Eater Lad
Bouncing Boy
Arm-fall Off Boy

Not as light hearted, and someone who has made a lot of appearances.

It was Lu, tied in with Bouncing Boy. They made the point that BB did well out of being a superhero. It took 5 seconds for the Taine's sex life to get mentioned. Then someone thought her powers were related to form filling.
Over to you Ibby!

your clues really helped with this one. connected to another, not so light hearted, tons of appearances... Lu's power though is one I would want in real life. I'd rather have triplication than, say, telepathy or pyrokinesis in real life.  Will never miss the gym again! Oh, I have to work late again.... okay, Ibby 2, you head over to the gym, remember to do those squats in good form so those nice gay men on Grindr continue to comment on your arse... and Ibby 3, you go home and prepare dinner. We will be starving after the gym / late night at work...

In Legion Lost 1, Apparition was revealed to be a construct of Saturn Girl, to help keep Ultra Boy calm. It was one of the big reveals of the series.
But there were a couple of subtle clues that Tinya was not really Tinya. Very subtle, but they were there, and made sense in hindsight.
Name one.

Imra finishing a sentence in one location that Tinya had started in another?
EDIT: I'm glad the clues helped, Ibby. It was a bit of a left field, not in the books question. So I didn't want it to be too random.

Got it! In Legion Lost 2, "Tinya" is kissing Jo. "I love it when you act all..." and Imra continues "macho... immature..." Other clues include Tinya appearing in Legion Lost 1 after Jo starts panicking, and her excuse is that she phased and fell into the floor below...and Tinya not acting immediately when the Legion is attacked by energy-sapping parasites... good thinking on your question and clues, thothy
