Making click on the image you'll go to the first page with the images of the Legionnaires as they appeared in February 1968 on ADVENTURE COMICS NO.365 and here you have the explanations of every Legionnaire:
(30) POLAR BOY (Brak Bannin) came from the planet THARR, where the people developed the power of prejecting intense cold to combat the heat storms caused when THARR nears its sun in its regular orbit. POLAR BOY is the founder and leader of the LEGION OF SUBSTITUTE HEROES, made up of Legion rejects who fromed their own group. The other five SUBSTITUTES are listed below.
(31) FIRE LAD (Staq Mavien), of the planet SHWAR, was endowed with flame breath when he inhaled weird vapors from a crashing meteor.
(32) NIGHT GIRL (Lydda Jath) was born in the dark planet, KATHOON. Her father created a vitalizing ray which gave her super-strength -but only in deep shadow or at night. Direct sunlight robs her of her power.
(33) STONE BOY (Dag Wentim) comes from the planet ZWEN, wich rotates so slowly that the nights are half a year long. The people developed the power to turn to stone so they could spend this time in suspended animation. STONE BOY can remain awake when he is in his stone form, but he cannot move.
(34) CHLOROPHYLL KID (Ral Benem), of the planet MARDRU, fell into a tank of powerful plant-growing solution as an infant. As a result, he gained the power to make plants grow super-fast -and super-big.
(35) COLOR KID (Ulu Vakk), of the planet LUPRA, was assiting a scientist in an experiment when a ray of multi-color light from another dimension struck the lad. It gave him the ability to change the color of anything at will.
