Of those choices, #DreamGirl gets my vote but honestly, #ElementLad is my head canon leader for the team. #LLL

Element lad fights back by turning the air into hydrogen — Legion of Super-Heroes #58 (1989) #legionofsuperheroes #elementlad #dccomics

This colorful panel is filled with an explosion, with accompanying “KABOOOM”, red at the center, orange and yellow towards the edges. The voice of Element Lad comes in from the left, explaining what is happening: “— not if I turn the AIR around you into HYDROGEN. The eye’s own energy can spark into a FIREBALL!” On the right, we see the vague outline of the Emerald Empress, caught in the explosion, crying “ARRGHHH…”

Legion of Super-Heroes vol 3 #2 by #PaulLevitz, #KeithGiffen, Larry Mahlstedt, and Gene D'Angelo.

A team of villains defeats Wildfire and Dawnstar in M-17W. Same with Lightning Lad, SaturnGirl, and ElementLad in Earth's orbit. Bad days for the Legion.

BEST LOOK / WORST LOOK

#LegionOfSuperHeroes
BEST: Not often you'll find me putting a 5YL outfit as number one, but Jan delivers! Nods to the pink in all its forms, and then this weirdness, lands last. What's up with his eyes?!?
