What's been updated? We have reaches the starting lineup for the starting thirteen. When all are funded, we'll do another poll to determine which member will be the bonus release!

I added clarification on what every character's CURRENT codename is in E27. These are subject to change before they become canon with their release and/or mention in any other E27 material. I also added a list of all the potential additions to the Legion. If you feel I have overlooked someone vital, be sure to let me know.

First off, I should make it clear that they're not called the Legion of Superheroes in Earth-27, at least not officially. Here's why:

In March of 2017, President Luthor announced his 'Earth Hospitality Act' which popularized the term 'Xenohuman' and created the 'Advena Legion'. Though the measure has yet to be officially approved, it's actually being well received and is expected to be made into law soon.

The Advena Act creates the possibility for alien refugees and travelers to become official citizens of the United States (and thereby Earth) through a process of enlisting in a public service, like fighting crime as a member of the 'Advena Legion' (or more colloquially known as the 'Legion of Superheroes' or 'Legion of Alien Heroes') or working at NASA or for the NSA, DEO, or even just building infrastructure or whatever.

Applicants for the program are monitored by the DEO and are assigned a handler. Their handler determines where their skills, talents, powers, etc. would be best utilized and then monitors their progress after placement. If they fulfill the terms of their placement for a specific period of time, they are given official citizenship and even have the option of assuming a normal human identity if they so choose (and are so able to disguise themselves as such).
Once placed, aliens in good standing are given 'xenohuman' status under the law and are afforded all the rights and privileges of a normal human.

The Advena Legion is the big flagship of the program and while the rest of the program has yet to really be implemented and enacted, awaiting legislation and funding, the Advena Legion is already being formed under the Executive Branch of the US government. Its members are still being recruited and though they have yet to make their proper, public appearance here are the members that will be part of E27's Legion of Superheroes!
(and yes, that means they're not a team from the far-flung future, nor are they time-travelers. They are contemporary aliens in modern day)

The Advena Legion: The Figureheads

These are members who were already given 'Xenohuman' status by President Luthor in exchange for time and injuries already sustained in public service (and also in exchange for their support, even just token support of the bill).
Kal-El of Krypton (aka: SUPERMAN, first one announced by President Luthor. Didn't accept the offer until some weeks later)
Kara Zor-El of Krypton (POWER GIRL)
Kon-El of Earth (SUPERBOY)
Cir-El of Earth (SUPERGIRL)
J'onn J'onnz of Mars (MARTIAN MANHUNTER, first recruit to officially accept Luthor's proposal)
M'gann M'orzz of Mars (MISS MARTIAN)

The Advena Legion: The Recruits at Launch, aka: the Poster Children

Rokk Krinn of Braal (aka: COSMIC BOY / POLESTAR) - Called Polestar in E27
Imra Ardeen of Titan (aka: SATURN GIRL / SATURN WOMAN) - Called Saturn Girl in E27
Garth Ranzz of Winath (aka: LIGHTNING LAD / LIVE WIRE) - Called Spark in E27

The Advena Legion: The First Draft

Luornu Durgo of Cargg (aka: TRIPLICATE GIRL / TRIAD) - Called Triad in E27
Tinya Wazzo of Bzgtl (aka: PHANTOM GIRL / APPARITION) - Called Phase in E27
Lar Gand of Daxam (aka: VALOR / MON-EL) - Called Valor in E27
Jeka Wynzorr of Orando (aka: SENSOR GIRL / PRINCESS PROJECTRA) - Called Sensor in E27
Querl Dox of Colu (aka: BRAINIAC V) - Called Codex in E27
Tasmia Mallor of Talok VIII (aka: SHADOW LASS / UMBRA) - Called Umbra in E27
Ayla Ranzz of Winath (aka: LIGHT LASS / PULSE) - Called Pulse in E27
Brin Londo of Zuun (aka: TIMBER WOLF) - Called Timber Wolf in E27
Zan Undar of Exor (pending)
Jayna Undar of Exor (pending)

The Other Potential Recruits For Later Expansions

Gim Allon – Behemoth (normally Colossal Boy)
Salu Digby – Ultraviolet (normally Shrinking Violet)
Lyle Norg – Arcane (normally Invisible Kid)
Reep Yera – Chameleon (normally Chameleon Boy & Chameleon Girl, composite character in E27)
Jan Arrah – Alchemist (normally Element Lad)
Nura Nal – Dream Girl
Teela Spuunvll – Sizzle
Chock Tayn – Ricochet (normally Bouncing Boy)
Tenzil Kem – Glutton (normally Matter-Eater Lad)
Andrew Nolan – Ferro
Val Armorr – Contender (normally Karate Kid)
Zoe Saugin – Kinetix
Zan of Exxor - Menagerie
Jayna of Exxor - Wetwork
Blok – Blok
Ti'julk Mr'asz – Gatekeeper (normally Gates)
Brek Bannin - Chill (normally Polar Boy)

I am limiting the fan choice to 4 for the time being so that we have an ambitious 13 members to produce. Once we get all 13, we'll do another draft of characters.
Oh and just so you know, as they currently aren't allowed to have secret identites as part of the Advena Legion, all Legionairre characters will only have a single portrait which should make getting the first 13 in Season Three very possible.

I'll admit to generally not being a fan of bringing the Legion to the modern era, but if it had to be done this is pretty much how I'd like to see it; the first step towards The United Planets, as that (to me at least) is one of the most fascinating bits of lore of any DC future, if only because of the possibilities it presents.

Also I generally like the Legion with their older, goofier codenames. I know they're silly, but it's a part of their charm. Still, it doesn't surprise me to see most of them changed, and the new names aren't exactly bad, it's just not my personal preference.
