(28) LANA LANG could not join the LEGION as a regular member because her INSECT QUEEN power comes from a device -a biogenetic ring given her by an alien from space whom she helped out of a tight spot. But she was made a member of the LEGION RESERVE. When she wears the ring, LANA can take on the attributes of any insect she wishes, and fly like a bee, jump like a grasshopper, etc.

After his world was destroyed in a collision with a wandering planet, he came to Earth and aplied for LEGION membership. But doctors discovered that every time he used his power, he shortened his life by about a year. However, he became a RESERVIST -and the LEGION'S SECRET WEAPON.
