* The cover of ''Adventure Comics'' #247, portraying the original Legion trio behind a desk with name tags judging Superboy as unworthy of their "super-hero club" gets homaged frequently in other comics:
** The cover of ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'' #147 revisits the theme with the Legion characters replaced by their evil counterparts.
** The cover of ''The Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide'' #29 painted by Creator/AlexRoss features the same characters as the original but in a more realistic style with more dramatic lighting.
** The cover of ''Simpsons Comics'' #68 has the classic set up, poses and props with Homer being rejected by other Simpsons characters all dressed as superheroes.
** The cover of ''Dark Horse Presents'' #115 has odd characters dressed somewhat like the Legion trio rejecting Dr. Spin's application to their superhero club.
** The cover of ''ComicBook/SoulsearchersAndCompany'' #59 is set up in the classic way, referencing tryouts.
** The cover of Creator/ImageComics's ''Sidekick Summer Special'' #1 has the iconic setup plus added pointing hands with everyone cruelly laughing at the rejected applicant.
** The cover of the unpublished ''Necessary Evil'' #10 sees two applicants being turned away from a villain school for not being evil enough.
** A page of ''ComicBook/AmbushBug: Year None'' #4 is a humorous reference to the iconic image.
* The cover of ''ComicBook/EdisonRex'' #15 is an homage to the cover of ''The Legion of Super-Heroes'' #294 where the legion is kneeling before Darkseid's giant head with their arms raised.
* ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'': In the ContinuityReboot, PK is a member of the ''Galaxy Guardians'', a team of superheroes with a member representing each planet. Sound familiar?.
* In the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, the original lineup of the superpowered Imperial Guard surrounding the Shi'ar empress Lilandra was composed of alternate company equivalents of DC's Comicbook/{{Legion of Super-Heroes}}.
** Which actually makes the aforementioned Gladiator a copy of ComicBook/{{Superboy}}.
** LampshadeHanging in an issue of ''Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'': Rocket Raccoon sarcastically calls Mentor, the Imperial Guard's green-skinned ubergenius, "Comicbook/{{Brainiac}}".
** Dave Cockrum created Nightcrawler for an unused Legion spin-off, then carried the character along to Marvel.
* Marvel has their own space related superhero team with ties to the present: the original Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy which first appeared eleven years after the Legion. Both teams are vastly different but share the same concept as well as "modern" versions of said teams: the modern Guardians and ComicBook/LEGIONDCComics.
