Ah - Projectra, then? When she was being a villain in that last threeboot storyline?

Sun Boy? Wasn't he held back for some reason or was that by Cos?

Not Projectra; there was a scene where Cos wanted to hold her back cause she hadn't manifested her powers yet, but she insisted - claiming her right as a Legionnaire.
Not sure about Sun Boy, but it definitely wasn't Brainy who did it.
*****
So this doesn't go on forever, I'll give the situation: this was the team Brainy formed to take on Terror Firma, and they ended up capturing Elysion.
Brainiac 5 once assembled a Legion away team, and specifically chose one Legionnaire to NOT go on this team. Which Legionnaire was this? This was a "public" mission and the announcement was made for all to hear, and Brainiac 5 specifically said NOT to bring this Legionnaire along, while specifically naming others to go.
This was in the Threeboot - the team that fought Terror Firma and captured Elysion.
Not:
Superboy
Supergirl
Colossal Boy
Dream Girl
Projectra
Sun Boy

Cosmic Boy? Their rivalry was a huge part of the early Threeboot. If memory serves it was while the team including Brainy was off-planet that Cos raided his quarters to find all his secrets. Great teamwork. So much to admire. *sarcasm*

Nope. This was after Cos had been ousted as leader, and he was leaving the team. So Brainy didn't specifically mention him.
What struck me was Brainy just said, "but do not bring X Legionnaire" without ever explaining why, and it wasn't explained elsewhere in the story either.
And yes, I really disliked that whole in-fighting part. The Legion's camaraderie was always one of its biggest selling points for me. One reason I liked the Reboot version so much, and also Shooter's Adventure-era run.

Nope, this was before Supergirl came along. I also eliminated her already.

Nope. But (big double hint), Light Lass is very close...
...and this was a male Legionnaire

Yes, it was Lightning Lad!
I was thinking of giving a more subtle hint, but I felt that nobody guessing had a clear recollection of the story, and we were beginning to guess randomly.

Yeah, the threeboot was quite un-memorable (except for that second issue, which hits so many great beats). It also doesn't help that I stopped maintaining the Legion Help File before this point.
Projectra's seance during the Magic Wars was interrupted by the appearance of...?

That Emerald Eye sure was nasty.
Situation: The Legionnaires' ship is destroyed. The mission leader tells everyone to follow their lead.
Which Legionnaire snarks: "Oh yes, fearless leader. We wouldn't dream of thinking for ourselves?"

OK, then...
What information should one make sure to know before attempting to infiltrate and band of Sklarian pirates?

I think I know this story, sounds like the SW6 one. But... hmm..
The name and title of the Sklarian leader?

You've got the right story, not quite exactly the bit of information.

Sklarian myth or history, yes. If no one has any more accurate guesses, I'll give it to you.

I remember the story too (whoeever thought Tenzil would be a cross-dresser) but I can't remember what gave him away.

OK, that's been long enough. Ibby will ask the next question.
The exact answer is the mother of Sklarian sisterhood.
I do not know the name of that individual, but it is NOT "Friggafrugga the Great."
