Notes
edit- ^Circe is not to be confused with the sorceressCirce,an enemy ofWonder Woman.
- ^Although initially believed to be a Khund, Flederweb's actual species and homeworld were never revealed.
- ^The Legion first battled Universo inAdventure Comics#349 (October 1966). In the following issue,Star BoyandDream Girlrejoined the team under the aliases "Sir Prize" and "Miss Terious", but the two are not included in Batch SW6.
- ^Inferno's Legion membership status is debatable, as she was aWorkforcemember accidentally stranded in the 20th century with a group of Legionnaires inLegion of Super-Heroesvol. 4, #84–85 (September–October 1996). She leaves the group inLegion of Super-Heroesvol. 4, #96 (September 1997), and does not accompany them when they return to the 30th century four issues later.
