What's that, ffgl006 Abin Sur? The Founders are using WELCOME TO THE LEGION?
Yeah, I'm doing it in a high point match. XS is going to carry the team to victory so hard, and it will be awesome. I don't even care that it basically takes 200 points of your force to pull off doing.
Arguendo of the Beige Lanterns (Pedantry Corps)
Feb 2015: JL Trinity War has have given us the CSA, playable and together. Twice. ROCK ON!
REClixed: Justice for Dmitri Pushkin (your sacrifice will not be forgotten)! New generic Rocket Red @50-75 points while we're at it? Still no 19DV Defender? (WoS Groot doesn't count)

You can do it for half that if you've got an Entity

For a Future or Green Lantern team using Ion, sure, or on a dedicated Entity team. I'm thinking about a Legion team to remain theme, hence the Founding member bringing in Abin Sur rather than trying to do it in the reverse. You can also technically do it with the LE Mon-El from SLoSH.
...oh, Lord, XS on a dedicated Entity possessed team as the taxi. Then you just pick your favorite combat lantern with the TA and whatever else you want to throw in with the kitchen sink. Ewwwwwww.

What I mean is you welcome The Entity to the Legion the possessed character now has The Entity's keywords so now whatever GL you pick will have the Legion of Super Heroes keyword without needing four of the LoSH characters with that trait. The player can even apply the ATA to both the The Entity & the possessed character because The Entity grants it's keywords to the character it's possessing.

Okay, so we're running into a reading comprehension problem despite quoting the figure I planned to use and the ability to get it done. That's probably my fault, so I'll be more explicit: I was referring to ONE Founder while using the *cheapest* available Lantern, since the Welcome trait specifies 50 points or lower. This is where the '200 points to pull off' off hand comment came from: you're not paying that for the Lantern specifically or to get multiple founders, you're paying 50 for the Lantern, 70-116 for the founding member, and then also paying 82 points for XS, because the only way to pull the trick off for less is the ATA. If you're paying ~200 for multiple founders to get a 'real' lantern onto the map, then you're talking ~500 points in total (288 for the founders, 82 for XS5, 101-150 points for the GL). The only way to pay less winds up being a bum deal because you're sacrificing regular Wildcard potential by excluding multi-TA Legion members so you can use the ATA at all, then using the ATA to get GLC for your team when you could be using it for a more useful TA the whole team can use. If you're planning to actually get use from all the figures, I could definitely see either using the LE Mon-El and/or a Welcomed Entity on a Lantern of your choice, but even at only 25 points for an Entity or 200 points for Mon-El, you wind up paying more than the method I'm referring to...but then, you're probably also getting much more bang for your buck. I'd say they're all the methods are worth trying out depending on the team you're planning to field.
