->'''AKA:''' Rokk Krinn
->'''Homeworld:''' Braal
->'''Abilities:''' Magnetism manipulation
In most incarnations, the leader of the Legion. Cosmic Boy's serious demeanor and respect for authority lends him to the role of leadership, but places him at odds with Lightning Lad. Preboot, his brother was Pol Krinn, aka Magnetic Lad (no relation to a minor Legion villain of the same name). His personality, like his power, is magnetic--he draws people to his cause with his charisma.
In the FYL continuity, Cosmic Boy was {{De Power}}ed during a war between Braal and Imsk. He married Night Girl and had a son named Pol after his late brother. Shortly before his reality was destroyed by ''ComicBook/ZeroHour'', he regained his powers thanks to a pair of power gauntlets and took the name Polestar.
Postboot, Cosmic Boy was a sports star whose talent helped him as a superhero. When half the team was stranded in the present day, Cos led them through ''ComicBook/FinalNight'' and ''ComicBook/{{Genesis}}'' and was instrumental in getting them home. When the Postboot Legion's Earth was destroyed in ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'', he continued to lead them, and in their current exile as the Wanderers, he is leading them in their search for a new home.
In Threeboot, though Cosmic Boy founded the Legion, he was widely disliked because he was forced to accept supervision from the United Planets. He struggled with command, and after the Dominator War, ceded leadership to ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}. He was approached by a group of superheroes from the 41st century whose legacy he inspired and joined them in the future.

->'''AKA:''' Imra Ardeen
->'''Homeworld:''' Titan
->'''Abilities:''' Telepathy
A telepath from one of Saturn's moons, Saturn Girl is the glue that holds the Legion together, keeping a balance between the cool-headed Cosmic Boy and HotBlooded Lightning Lad. When Cos isn't the Legion's leader, it's usually her. In all incarnations of the Legion, the love of her life is Lightning Lad.
In Threeboot, Saturn Girl's people were so reliant on telepathy that their vocal cords were useless. She was distant and reserved. Her mother was a member of the United Planets council, which put her at odds with the more iconoclastic Legionnaires.
----
* ActionGirl
* ConvenientlyOrphaned: Her Johnsboot counterpart was said to be an orphan, which seemed to be an effect of the CosmicRetcon which brought this version of the Legion back.
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Iron Butt Imra" and "Iron Ass Imra."
* HappilyMarried: With Lightning Lad, Preboot. Following ''Legion of 3 Worlds'' in the Retroboot continuity, Imra and Garth went back to this in the latest Legion volume.
* IceQueen: Later DefrostingIceQueen.
* ILetGwenStacyDie: An odd precursor subversion. Silver Age Imra refused to stop looking for a way to bring Lightning Lad back from the dead after he performed his HeroicSacrifice because he died saving her, even though she had been trying to perform said sacrifice so her teammates wouldn't have to.
* TheLancer or TheChick
* TheLeader: Frequently takes this role in the Preboot era.
* MamaBear: Preboot/Retroboot. This woman went up against Darkseid to restore one of her sons to normal. Unless you want to end up as a mindless heap on the floor, do not mess with her kids.
* MindOverManners: Generally observed, although Postboot!Saturn Girl has had a few memorable, if accidental lapses. Like telepathically animating a comatose Cosmic Boy to help keep the Legionnaires trapped in the past together--and turning him into her [[RelationshipSue Relationship Stu]]. Then in ''Legion Lost'', Imra used her psychic powers to make Ultra Boy ''think'' that his wife, Apparition, was with them in their deep-space exile, and when he found out, he was ''pissed''.
* OfficialCouple: With Lightning Lad since the Preboot days. Various attempts at shaking it up have proven futile and/or unpopular.

It turned out she did all that in order to spare her teammates from fighting in an upcoming battle with an alien overlord, where a member would've surely been killed. Her plan failed when Lightning Lad discovered what she was planning, and sacrificed himself in battle.

->'''AKA:''' Garth Ranzz
->'''Homeworld:''' Winath
->'''Abilities:''' Electrical generation and direction
An inhabitant of the planet Wynath, Garth Ranzz, his twin sister Ayla, and his older brother, Mekt, were attacked by lightning beasts after crashlanding on a distant planet. The bolts reacted with the siblings' body chemistry, granting them the power to absorb, store, and discharge electricity. When Mekt went missing, Garth set out to find him, meeting Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl, and founding the Legion in the process.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: Loses an arm in most continuities, though what it's from varies wildly.
* BackFromTheDead: CameBackWrong in [=5YL=]. He also returned from a HeroicSacrifice near the end of the Postboot continuity, inhabiting Element Lad's crystallized body.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: When he became Starfinger, Preboot.
* CainAndAbel: With Lightning Lord.
* TheChosenOne: Preboot Garth was secretly revealed to be an individual whose life has been keeping a balance between science and magic, and that the actual Luck Lords of Ventura had been planning to manipulate his death during a cosmic convergence so as to bring about the return of magic and luck with science's death. None of the Legionnaires or Garth himself ever found this out.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: A retcon revealed that the Lightning Lad that returned to life, married Saturn Girl, and had children with her was actually TeamPet Proty in Lightning Lad's body.
* FarmBoy
* FieryRedhead: Subverted and played straight.
* GrandTheftMe: The original Lightning Lad never returned to life; Proty's consciousness was transferred to his body. Postboot, Livewire eventually became trapped in Element Lad's body.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: With Lightning Lass.
* HappilyMarried: With Saturn Girl, Preboot. Following the end of ''Legion of 3 Worlds'' and the beginning of the latest Legion series by Paul Levitz, Retroboot Garth and Imra have gone back to this.
* HeroicSacrifice: Several times in several continuities.
* HotBlooded: In later continuities.
* HouseHusband: The Preboot version, while his wife went back to being a Legionnaire, Garth was the one willing to stay at home and look after their twin sons, Graym and Garridan.
* InformedFlaw: His so-called legendary bad luck. However, a spotlight issue revealed that Garth's luck is exceedingly good, and has been preventing the Luck Lords from bringing about the death of science in the universe. He received lightning powers, came back from the dead, got a robot arm and later had his flesh arm regrown, married the love of his life and had her children, and they are all happy and healthy. Does ''that'' sound like the unluckiest Legionnaire?
* JerkJock: The [=SW6=] version.
** HiddenHeartOfGold: The [=SW6=] version is arguably the meanest of all the alternate Lightning Lads, at one point punching Cosmic Boy in the face because he thought he was coming on to Saturn Girl. A LotusEaterMachine experience revealed, however, when he was young he accidentally killed his pet and felt insanely guilty about it. His parents saying they could easily replace it and tossed it away didn't make him feel better. Live Wire's ruder tendencies seemed to have been amped up whenever he was around Inferno, who was an even bigger jerkass in comparison.
* TheLancer to Cosmic Boy's [[TheHero Hero]], when Saturn Girl isn't filling the role instead.
* TheMcCoy
* OfficialCouple: With Saturn Girl. Attempts to shake this up don't generally end well or popularly, as both the Postboot and Threeboot can attest.
* PapaWolf: Don't mess with this man's sons, not unless you want your synapses scrambled.
* PermaStubble: His Retroboot counterpart was consistently depicted with stubble until the beginning of the new Legion series.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The blue boy to Saturn Girl's pink girl.
* PowerTrio: As the id, with Cosmic Boy (ego) and Saturn Girl (superego).
* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: To Cosmic Boy's Blue Oni.
* ShockAndAwe
* TookALevelInJerkass: His Johnsboot counterpart, which is supposed to be technically the original Lightning Lad, would often get angry as easily as some of his counterparts and sometimes had a tendency to throw temper tantrums when Saturn Girl wouldn't take his side. Fans were put off by this considering the original Lightning Lad actually subverted the FieryRedhead trope most of the time and only ''really'' got mad on certain occasions. However, when taking into consideration that this version of Garth has been forced to go into hiding, has been separated from his children and his sister, and has basically watched everything he and his friends built and stood for destroyed overnight while simultaneously getting branded as terrorists, this becomes a more JustifiedTrope. Also of note, since Paul Levitz returned as Legion author, the Johnsboot Garth has calmed down considerably.
* ThreeAmigos: With Cosmic Boy and Saturn Girl.
* UnderstandingBoyfriend: His Pre-Crisis counterpart, in contrast to his counterparts, especially his [=SW6=] counterpart.
