So I'm sure you guys are for the most part familiar with the Death of Superman poster, with the six heroes bearing Supes' casket in the forefront. The Atom perched in greif at Darkseid's shoulder, the Legion in attendance nearby the Titans....
And then the left side of the poster...follow the edge...
Between my brother and I, we can name almost all of the characters on the poster...except ONE;
He stands just below the Timber Wolf of L.E.G.I.O.N., to the left of Fire and Guy Gardner...
Black hair. Red costume of SOME design. Completely unfamiliar to us comic-goers (and we've been around the block. If I don't have the comic, chances are my brother does...). So if anyone knows...

My Superman box is one of the few boxes I have here in my flat so I checked it out for you Matter Lad - and I'm kinda stumped too.
I think I always thought it was Jo Nah (Ultra Boy) but not having read that era of the Legion I'm not sure if he ever wore a costume like that.
Another possibility that comes to mind is that Bloodlines character that was in Hawkman at the time - Mongrel was it? - who had kinda long hair and I think wore red. Not sure how he would've qualified to get such a prominent place at Supes' funeral though.
It's a tough one.

Yeah I think it should be in Gym'll's too. But as I am not a moderator of this forum, I can't move it. Have you PMed any of the moderators of this forum, rickshaw1, Kent Shakespeare, or Outdoor Miner?
And Matter Lad,
a link to the picture would be helpful, if you have one.

Set
There's not a word yet, for old friends who've just met.

Yeah, Set, that's the poster. But I've finished collecting the original R.E.B.E.L.S. set, and I've got a lot of L.E.G.I.O.N., and so far, from what I have, when Ultra Boy appears in it, he's wearing a black and green costume, and has his brown hair, face covered. <Note- In Lo3W, last issue, when they pull other Legionnaires from other universes, someone says "Ultra Boy...in a dragon costume?">
So I'm pretty sure it's not him. And my broher recently went back and collected the Bloodlines stuff, and he thought it could be Mongrel, but he looked it over and said it wasn't.
It's been a long-standing joke, part-funny, but part-frustrating!

Great poster. Its hanging up in my Dad's basement in our 'weight-lifting room'. I don't have it in front of me, but its probably either Jo Nah from TMK, or its one of the Team Titans. They had just become popular for the briefest moment.

I can't imagine Jo going from this to Green Dragon. It's quite a transformation if it's true! But I'm gonna keep looking into this as much as I can.
One thing that makes me question if it truly is Ultra Boy is that all the members of various teams are grouped together. And if you look on the opposite side, Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, Lightning Lad, Chameleon Boy, Ferro Lad, and, I think, Catspaw are grouped together. Granted Mon-el is separate from the group, but he is with the family aka Ma & Pa Kent, Pete Ross, & Lana Lang.

So he is. I still say it is a bad drawing of Ultra Boy
