I saw mention of this in one of the upcoming solicits (don't remember which title.) Has it occured to anyone else that this is a perfect description of Shikari?

good theory !!
but i wonder if SHIKARI would be too much of an unknown character to the general DC UNIVERSE reader !!?? and to appear as a 'major' character in a massive storyline like this ??

It has to be someone who's known throughout the DCU amongst both the characters and the readers. I'd guess it'd make sense if it were Barry Allen or either the silver or golden age Superman.
With the cover on that solicit it's probably the E-2 fellow, come to talk to his cousin.

the heroic Chronos or Magdalene & the Swordsman (ooops, wrong company) or Captain Atom or Hourman would all apply, no?

Sure but Cap'n A is gonna to be in the Wildstorm universe this fall.
Hourman maybe. I think Hourman will show up after the one year gap. Per Degaton said during JSA/JSA that the android would be out of commission "one relative year" whatever that means. If that meant one publishing year it could be him.

OR I guess they could simply be refering to the immenent return of Donna Troy. She diffinitely fits your criteria regarding known to everyone in the DCU. Not sure that I would define her as time lost/tossed so much as dead though

What about silver age Superboy, or Mon-el. They both fit the description as well. Clever Vee for catching this and getting us thinking.

Whoa! I just came here to post the possibility that it might actually be Mon-El! and I see that Semi had the same thought.
Maybe this explains why Waid and Kitson have said that Mon would not appear in LSH for the first year "because of Infinite Crisis"
Maybe Mon is almost back!

Except that Mon is not time lost or tossed is he? That is he is not travelling through time.
I thought that the story when Kon El puts him in the stasis zone (or what ever)was still in continuity? So that he is still living inside time as we are just in the phantom zone?
Oh my head hurts trying to explain time travel logically
And to be honest, no matter what the legion thinks, is mon el well known enough to justify this sort of treatment?

I think it will be Superman of Earth-2 (aka the 'original Superman').

And in other news, Marvel has just announced plans for Ultimate Intimate Crisis, in which "a salad-tossed hero returns from a year in The Vault for jaywalking on his way to scoring crack...

You're confusing M'Onel (seeder of worlds, etc.) with Mon-El ("brother" of Superboy and accidentally lead poisoned by him).
