The Legion has had several members in its ranks over the years. Some were temporary, others were bad apples infiltrating their ranks and some heroic Legionnaires left due to misunderstandings, lost powers, ruses and villainous plots. Additionally, temporary membership may be granted by a leader or acting leader in an emergency situation, and for the duration of the crisis, without the need of the usual voting quorum. Provisional membership may also be bestowed as a method to carrying out a plan, knowing that the position is not permanent. Below is a listing of every being that has assumed the role of a Legionnaire at one time, but left either temporarily or permanently: "Sun Boy"
Planet: Not revealed Status: False pretenses Reason: A criminal imposter who wore a life-like mask and device to simulate solar energy to pose as Sun Boy.

Superboy exposed his plot and brought him to justice (AD 290). Fake Legionnaires
Planet: Not revealed Status: False pretenses Reason: While Supergirl was busy fighting the Positive Man, a gang of Chameleon Men knocked out the other Legionnaires with paralysis gas and then hid the Legion ship on an asteroid. By the time she returned they used their chameloen power to disguise themselves as the real Legionnaires. Though they looked like the Legonniares, the Chameleon Men were unable to duplicate their special powers, so they pretended the radiation fallout had made them all normal. To fool the underworld that the Legion is as powerful as ever, Supergirl fakes their powers. Later, with the help of Whizzy, Supergirl foils their plot and revives the real Legionnaires. (AC 287).
Planet: Earth Status: Temporary resignation Reason: He lost his power. Dirk was readmitted after his power returned (AD 302). Note: This was before the Constitution was ammended to consider such worthy members as a branch of the Reserve.

Amarta) Status: Deceased Reason: Saturn Girl becomes Legion leader and promptly maneuvers all members out of active duty after she acquires their powers, so that she alone will face Zaryan the Conqueror.

Planet: Not revealed at first (Daxam) Status: Temporary Reason: Legionnaire Lemon aka Marvel Lad passes all of the initiation tests that the Legion devise and gets accepted into the club, but before the induction ceremony, he reveals that he is actually Mon-El permanently cured of his lead poisoning by Brainiac 5 (AD 305).

While pursuing his radioactive trail through space, Mask Man materializes an asteroid with his face before one of the Legionnaire's ships, killing all on board (Triplicate Girl, Element Lad, Phantom Girl, Star Boy, Sun Boy, Bouncing Boy, and Matter-Eater Lad). The remaining Legionnaires retreat to an uninhabited planet to build a citadel to protect themselves from the villain. Colossal Boy is killed while repelling an asteroid attack. Unknown to the Legion, Mask Man kills Invisible Kid and pretends to be him. He kills Cosmic Boy, sabatages Saturn Girl and Brainiac 5, petrifies Lightning Lass and finally exposes Mon-El to a deadly, other dimensional element. Superboy, the last remaining Legionnaire alive, deduces that the Mask Man is Mr. Mxyzptlk's great, great, great, great ancestor and tricks him into saying his name backwards, banishing him back to the 5th Dimension. The effects of his magic vanish with him. Superboy is the only one that remembers the Legion's last stand. (AD 310). False Legionnaires
