Whenever this creature is dealt damage, create that many 1/1 green Insect creature tokens with flying and deathtouch. (Any amount of damage a creature with deathtouch deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)
Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 6 versions.
