For those who might not know, "arms fall off" is a reference to the truly delightful Arm-Fall-Off Boy, an honest-to-God canonical member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes.

All of the other powers listed in the "sub-legionic powers" section of the chart are, in fact, possessed by actual members of the Legion of Substitute Heroes.

*Plorp* is an awesome onomatopea.

Fire Breath doesn't sound substitute hero bad... what's the catch? And how exactly does the 'giant turtle' power manifests?

Fire Lad often breathes fire by accident, since there's a chance of it happening any time he exhales. If he sneezes? Run.

The "giant turtle" there references Jimmy Olsen's Silver Age monstrous alter ego, the Giant Turtle Man. While never a formal member of the Legion of Substitute Heroes, there is an infamous Silver Age story where LoSH member Colossal Boy dresses up as the Giant Turtle Man so he can, more or less, just screw around with Jimmy's head.

In the post-Crisis era, I believe the Legion picked up a Reservist called Turtle who has super-invulnerable that homaged the old Giant Turtle Man. Another reservist from that run was perennial Legion Substitute Night Girl, who has super-strength and invulnerability... but only when it's dark.
