*In DC's ''New Year's Evil: Mr. Mxyzptlk'' #1 (1998), [[Mister Mxyzptlk|Mxyzptlk]] attempts to recruit a parody of the Legion, called the ''Logjam of Super-Heroes'', from his comic book collection. Despite its many members, the only ones who were properly identified were Batter-Eater Lad, Butler-Eater Lad, Butter-Eater Lad, Button-Eater Lad, and Mutton-Eater Lad (all take-offs on [[Matter-Eater Lad]]), Kid Kid, Kid Lass, Loud Kid, Negative Lass, [[Garth Ranzz|Lightning Lice]], and [[Bouncing Boy|Beachball Boy]].<ref>{{cite comic|writer= [[Alan Grant (writer)|Grant, Alan]]|penciller= [[Tom Morgan (comics)|Morgan, Tom]]|inker= Koblish, Scott|story= Invader from the 10th Dimension!|title= Mr. Mxyzptlk (Villains)|issue= 1|date= February 1998}}</ref>

*The satire series ''[[normalman]]'' featured a 33rd-century team called the ''Legion of Superfluous Heroes''. In their first appearance, [[Saturn Girl|Uranus Girl]] wants to save normalman, but [[Garth Ranzz|Lightweight Lad]] points out they need to do roll call first.<ref>{{cite comic|writer= [[Jim Valentino|Valentino, Jim]]|penciller= Valentino, Jim|inker= Valentino, Jim|story= The Panties n' Capes Syndrome|title= [[normalman]]|issue= 1|date= January 1984}}</ref> The roll call, which includes a seemingly endless list of members, is a recurring gag in the series. When Lightweight Lad loses his place in the roll and is going to start over, he is killed by the other members of the Legion (who also die due to the resulting blast). It is revealed the Legion is in a [[time loop]]. 
*The ''Legion of the Stupid Heroes'' [[One-shot (comics)|one-shot]] is a parody of the Legion published by [[Blackthorne Publishing]] in 1987.<ref>{{gcdb series|id= 17353|title= Legion of the Stupid Heroes}}</ref>

*''SFA Spotlight'' #5 (May 1999) published by [[Mike Curtis (writer)|Shanda Fantasy Arts]] features a [[Spider-Ham]]-style parody of the Legion called the Legion of Super-Furries.
*In "The Innocents", a story arc that ran in [[Garth Ennis]]' series ''[[The Boys (comics)|The Boys]]'' #40–43, Wee Hughie is sent to monitor the third-rate superhero team Superduper. Billed in-universe as "teenagers from the future," Superduper includes several superheroes whose powers mimic those of the Legion of Super-Heroes, but who are incompetent: Black Hole (a Matter-Eater Lad analog) chokes on a spoon while trying to eat an entire tub of ice cream; Klanker (Ferro Lad) whose attempts to take on his form of iron usually result in him transforming into inanimate objects; Bobby Ba-Doing (Bouncing Boy) who has the mind of a child and Stool Shadow (Shadow Lass/Phantom Girl), who bumps into walls when trying to phase through them.<ref>{{cite comic|writer= [[Garth Ennis|Ennis, Garth]]|penciller= [[Darick Robertson|Robertson, Darick]]|inker= Robertson, Darick|story= The Innocents|title= [[The Boys (comics)|The Boys]]|issue= 40–43|date= March – June 2010|publisher=[[Dynamite Entertainment]]}}</ref>
