One ring

Legion Flight Ring: Created by Brainiac 5 in 2965 (AD 329) and used to this day, these will-powered rings have become a symbol of Legion membership. The Legion emblem on the ring carries Science Police authority (AD 352). Like the flying-belt, they too utilize the anti-gravity Element-152 created by Mon-El (AD 305). They only work when the user is conscious, so the person will fall if stunned (AD 343) or rendered unconscious (AD 346/347). They also have a built in signal emitter for emergencies, which can be activated by turning the "L" on the ring upside down (AD 357). For this reason, heroes capable of flying under their own power- like Superboy and Mon-El - still wear them (AD 369). Though extremely durable, the flight-rings have suffered breakdown from repeated high impacts from Legionnaires who use their fists more - like Karate Kid (AD 347) and Ultra Boy (AD 361). The flight-ring's mechanism can also be damaged from unprotected passage through the time-barrier, as when they use Rond Vidar's time cube (AD 349). Flight-rings can also be used for limited-range travel through space, provided that the non-invulnerable wearer has spacesuit protection (AD 343). All Legionnaires and Reservists are given flight-rings (AD 351, AD 370). Legion Academy students are provided with them for flight-ring drills (AD 371).


And I want one.
