- Entries are color-coded by Carl Gafford, as stated in issue #6. Please note, the color-codes denoted below apply to the 1988 Legion Who's Who, which will differ from the loose-leaf version Who's Who, and of course the color-coding used on the Unofficial DCU Guide. Finally, in the years since, many characters have undoubtedly changed what color-code they would have been assigned in 1988.
- Yellow denotes Legionnaires.
- Red denotes the Legion's foes;
- Orange denotes supporting characters in the Legion mythos;
- Blue denotes Legion rejects or Academy students;
- Green denotes heroes who are not Legionnaires;
- and purple denotes "neutral" characters such as Earth President Mojai Desai or Professor Huxton.
