The Legion met the Heroes of Lallor when Dr. Marden King (the brother
of Jungle King) tried to avenge his brother's death by setting the teams at
odds. Their number included Beast Boy (Ilshu Nor), Duplicate Boy (Ord
Quelu), Evolvo Lad (Sev Tcheru), Gas Girl (Tal Nahii),and Life
Lass (Somi Gan). After clearing up the misunderstandings, Shrinking Violet
fell began dating Duplicate Boy. (Adventure #324) Soon however,
the teams clashed again and Beast Boy died saving a little girl's life. (#339)
The Heroes of Lalllor disappeared for years to their distant world until the
Legion called in all reserves to battle Darkseid. (Legion
vol. 2 #294) They remained to help repair Weber's World afterwards.
(#299) Soon after this, Duplicate Boy learned that
Shrinking Violet had married Colossal Boy. He backed off when realized that his "Violet" had
been replaced by a Durlan named Yera (but he did not reveal
this discovery). (#298)
After Yera was
exposed, the real Vi was freed, but she'd been changed, traumatized by her
captivity. She angrily ended her relationship with Duplicate
Boy, because he had not voiced his suspicions of her impostor. (#313) The
Heroes were seen for the last time together when helping Duplicate Boy regain
his confidence after being dumped. (Tales of the
Legion #317)
When Universo took
over the Earth, four Legionnaires awoke to find themselves prisoners on an
unknown planet along with other heroes, including Gas Girl. Together, these
heroes effected their escape. (Legion
vol. 3 #32)

The planet Lallor lay at the outer reaches of United Planets space. After the U.P.'s "Great Collapse," Lallor was early to fall when the Khund empire renewed its imperial ambitions. (#13) Life Lass became a Colonel in the United Resistance Militia. (Legion vol. 4 #8)
All of the
Heroes of Lallor fell to a form of Khund mind control and were drafted into the Khund army. The Heroes of Lallor were part of a group that included the Khunds
Garak, Cupid, the villain Chameleon Chief, and the former Khund Legionnaires. (#57) They fought against the Legion until they were freed of their mind control. (#58-59)
Reboot Legion
In the universe of Earth-247, the Heroes of Lallor have made only
one brief appearance, when the threat of Mordru loomed. They were shown
on Lallor, arguing whether they would come to the Legion's aid
(they didn't). Their number included Beast Boy, Gas Girl and Splitter (Floyd
Belkin). (Legionnaires #49)
Splitter had previously been rejected as a Legion applicant. (Legionnaires
#43)
NOTES: Earth-247
also has an Evolvo, who was a member not of the Heroes of Lalloar,
but of the Workforce.

Lallor of the Earth-Prime Universe
The Legion of Earth-Prime has visited its Lallor on more than one occasion.
Here, Lallor is a world at civil war over the prospect of joining
the United Planets. The Legion's first trip to Lallor was a self-directed
mission to squash a rebellion—against the United Plantes' objections. (Legion
vol. 5 #1)
Their next visit involved an investigation which was ostensibly to find
the missing Legionnaire, Cosmic Boy. The Legion team instead uncovered
a plot by the aforementioned rebels to an assassinate the Lallorian president. (Supergirl & the
Legion #31) The rebels had hired Randall
Burroughs to do the job. Randall manipulated his powerful brother
Drake, a.k.a. E.R.G.-1, into
being the assassin. (#33) The Legionnaires managed
to swing Drake to their side, and exposed not only the plot, but Randall's
coersion of his brother. (#34-36)
There have been no sightings of any "Heroes of Lallor." However,
this universe also has an Evolvo-Lad (Sev Tcheru). This hero is
an ally of Brainiac 5 and helped him find a way to return Supergirl to
the 21st century. (#31, 36)
