Originally posted by Xben: Are they the Next Men? Funny answers, guys, but Xben has it. More exactly, though, they are John Byrne's Next Men (as opposed to Frank Miller's ____:p). And after about a seventeen-year hiatus, Byrne is finally continuing their adventures over at IDW in a series that debuted last month. I'm currently rereading the original series to get caught up before I start reading the new one. I must say it's holding up really well. I figure the Byrne-haters will find some reason or other to hate it or to never give it a chance, but it's one've the best things he's ever done amidst his fine body of work. Look for some write-ups in Gym'll's soon! Yer up, Xben!
Still "Lardy" to my friends!

According to Kathy Sutton, who apparently armed the family of the JLA/superhero community after the death of Sue Dibney?

I kind of thought not, but felt I had to try that answer.
I was also thinking Lex Luthor, but that would require him knowing the identities of the JLA members.
I'm going to guess Checkmate.

Red Arrow has it, which is appropriate since it comes from the same storyline that turned Roy Harper into "Red Arrow" - The Tornado's Path.
The quote says something like, "After Clark died, we got organized. After Sue, we got armed...by Barda." This comes as Kathy blasts a deranged Amazo (I think) with some kind of Kirby-esque power rod.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a DC Universe "Metropolis", and as such I have no idea.

I was thinking of Roy Thomas' "Superman's Metropolis," a rather tepid Elseworlds combining Supes and Fritz Lang.

I looked it up too. And given that it has been 7 days since the question was asked.
Rokuro Makube is the son of the Red Party's leader.

It sounds like you're pretty confident, Quis. Do we need to wait for confirmation before asking a new questions?

Which DC comics character went about 70 years without a non-reprint appearance in a DC comic, although he did have original stories published by two other comic companies?

Doctor Occult? Though I'd think he'd be more like 50 years...

The Spirit and Plastic Man wouldn't have appeared in DC Comics early enough to hit the "about 70" years mark.
Doctor Occult, as EDE mentioned, had only a 47 year gap between appearances, and I don't believe was ever published by another company under that name (he had one story appear in Centaur Comics, but under the name, "Doctor Mystic")
Scribbly is a pretty good guess, as he did appear in comics put out by Dell and EC, but his DC gap is even shorter, a mere 36 years from the last issue of his eponymous title to his appearance in Crisis.
The character I'm going for has a gap of either 71 or 68 years depending on whether a given story actually features him (I'm not entirely certain), that's why I'm going with the "about 70" verbiage.
As a hint, I will say that his first appearance has been reprinted in a couple of high-profile instances.
