Branch Established: 2964 (Adventure Comics No. 321). When Bouncing Boy lost his
super-power and was no longer qualified to be a
Legionnaire, the Legionnaires created the Legion Reserve
and made him its first member. Prior to this time,
members without a super-power were expelled (Adventure Comics No. 302, Adventure Comics No. 317).
Criteria for Membership: Worthy former
members may be voted to be given permanent status in the
Legion Reserve (Adventure Comics No. 321). Applicants who were initially rejected may also
be awarded Reserve status if they are deemed worthy (Superboy No. 125, Adventure Comics No. 355/2).
Member Privileges: Reserve members
all have flight-rings (Superboy No. 125/3) and must be prepared to go into action in the
event of an emergency (Adventure Comics No. 326 "The Legion Constitution - Part Two").
Comments
*Bouncing Boy (Chuck Taine) became a
reservist in 2964 when he lost his super-power. In 2966,
Dr. Zan Orbal rediscovered the super-plastic serum that
originally gave Chuck his super-bouncing ability and he
regained his power and active status (Adventure Comics No. 351).
**Superboy left the team's active roster in 2969 so the Legion would
stay within the 25-member limit imposed by tax laws (Action Comics No. 387, Action Comics No. 391 "Metropolis
Mailbag").
