I am positive in the original DC Encyclopedia, Herald had an entry there...I am sure of it. I remember comparing pages and pages, his entries and Doom Patrol entries.

Quick overview of the update [PART 4] -

Spark - "In another timeline containing the Legion of Super-Heroes, Ayla Ranzz is known as Light Lass and possesses the ability to alter the gravity of objects. This ability is a new one, replacing her previous possession of lightning powers like those of her brother Garth."
Star Boy - Updated to include all three Star Boys. Image unchanged.
Brief mention of Starman VIII (See Star Boy) in the Starman piece.
Strata - no change
Sun Boy - new entry which lists the recent Action Comics version as the "second" Sun Boy and the 3boot as the third. Now even the writers admit they aren't the same. [Wink] Image of 3boot.
Suicide Squad features the 20th Century male Persuader as a member.
Superboy - Updated double-page spread of Kon-El.
Supergirl - did I forget to include her the first time?
Superman - Mentions that the LSH were re-instated into his history. Also, note about Superman-Prime.
Tharok - no change
Thunder - no change
Timber Wolf - no changes, including listing his first appearance as LEGION WORLDS #6. Maybe they got tired of updating towards the end? [Smile]
Time Trapper - new entry
Triad - no change, yup they gave up!
Ultra Boy - Added "Multiple versions of Ultra Boy exist in different timelines, but in nearly all of them he is Jo Nah of the planet Rimbor." Otherwise no change...lazy!
Umbra - no entry! Wait! They remove Umbra, but don't give Shadow Lass an entry. But, Thunder and Magno, etc. are still in?!? What the sprock!
Wanderers - Slightly updated to give a more vague future for the team.
White Witch - no change
Wildfire - No change beyond the First Appearance (back to the original). These writers phoned in the last few letters of the alphabet didn't they.
XS - surprise...no change!

I also want to point out that they use Francis' art work for at least the Brainiac 5 and Saturn Girl entries (maybe more), but do not credit him as an artist. For shame. Not a quality job.
