As I recall, Sargon had no range. He needed to physically touch his target.
Ibis; I believe, could cast ranged spells. There might be a difference in the ability to fly also.
Sargon could affect any object he touched and then cause it to do a variety of things. He could, for example, touch an object then leave it somewhere and later cause it to do something.
Ibis' Ibistick allowed him to do virtually anything imaginable, though I recall him being given a limitation or two in his first story, but it's been a while since I've reread the 1940s Ibis stories.
Oh, heck, I don't know I'm bothering to try to remember. Here's Wikipedia:

Ibis can do almost anything with the power of the Ibis-stick: build force-fields around cities, transport himself and others, and even make objects appear out of thin air. Without the wand however, he is powerless, and this weakness is frequently exploited by his enemies

As a child, he [Sargon] came into possession of the mystic Ruby of Life which allowed him to control anything he touches (touching the ground lets him erect a wall, for instance).
I honestly thought Amos Fortune was a Lock for Crisis when I heard about the Royal Flush Gang....then again I thought he was a lock for Cheap Prob in JL
Heh, I thought he (or Hazard) was a lock for cheap Prob Control in *Cosmic Justice*.

He'll show up when you least expect it. Like the Super-Adaptoid would have fit well in Avengers, Sinister, or even Armor Wars; but ended up in Monsters & Mutations.

So, he has old-school telekinesis. : - )

That's a problem with some magical heroes. I often find myself wondering why Zatanna doesn't just say, "I niw!" and solve her problems early.
So many Chases in this set. I'm hoping their rarity isn't as bad as past rares.
I love the list. I can't wait to see Osiris and Isis.
"A person who aims at nothing is sure to hit it."
"Enjoy life. There's plenty of time to be dead."
"He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless, still dead."
But on average I chase to a case means 4 cases (of 2 bricks) can get you all 4
Here a minimum of 5 cases is needed (and I just know WL ice will not be worth a WL Supes lol)

What exactly would that spell do? It seems kind ofvague to me...
Now, "snug nrut ot oop" is a spell she should use more often. "Nommus azzip", too, but perhaps not in battle.
Yeah Amos is in my top ten classic villains want with
Kanja Ro, Faceless Hunter, Punch and Jewlee, Wizard, Kanto and Killer Moth
I'd take all of those (even though I don't know Faceless Hunter) and I'll raise you a few villains that have been popping around for a while but never get made:

Lots of comic-book heroes and villains have that problem. Someone with the power of elemental transmutation, for example, should be able to win in two panels. Remember the "Super-Stalag of Space" story in Legion of Super-Heroes? I always wondered why Element Lad didn't just turn the prison walls, and all of Nardo's robot guards, to helium.
He'd have to affect all the robots at once, which is clearly beyond his power! Otherwise, the robots he isn't zapping can zap him.
But, yes, a lot of heroes don't seem to use their powers very effectively, in the name of keeping the plot going. I often find myself thinking that if I had super powers, I'd be much more effective. Sadly, the only superpower I have is sarcasm.
why is that "beyond his power"? Couldn't he just turn all the metal, or plastic, or whatever the robots are made of, into helium or water or whatever? I don't recall seeing any such limits on his power in the old Silver-Age stories (of which the Super-Stalag was one).
In the 80s they tried to give Element Lad some limitations by making him a pacifist. Makes a little more sense; the only true limit to his powers is him. Doesn't explain why Cosmic King never turned the Legion members' skin into phosphorous or something, though.

I can lift a book. Just because I can lift a book, it doesn't mean I can lift a book case full of books. I'd have to do it a few books at a time. Conversely, just because someone can turn one robot into helium, it doesn't mean someone can turn all robots into helium.
Why is that "beyond his power"? Because it would make sense. Mind you, that doesn't mean it's the case - I'm not familiar with the Legion in any incarnation. It's entirely possible he pulled off ridiculous feats of transmutation all the time. But if not, it's entirely reasonable to assume he has limitations. Why assume he has no limitations?
This is one of the problems with comics - this assumption that certain characters have no limitations, which occasionally seems to infect certain writers/characters/what have you. Assuming there are limits would go a long way to getting rid of logical inconsistencies such as why X character doesn't just turn Y character into a box of doughnuts.
