Hee-hee-- it's the phone game! I don't think anyone's said it'll be an iconic character, just a prominent one. Which DC's gonna call any character they're promoting.
I also don't think they said it'd be a hero. Maybe it's a villain... but that'd be surprising. So would Wally West or Garth (though reintroducing those two along with Donna would go a long way towards making me more fully enjoy the new DCU- whatever their sexual orientation(s)...).
So-- 'important'. The Atom? Adam Strange? Captain Comet? The Doom Patrol's Chief? Has Pete Ross shown up yet? The Creeper? Too many possibilites and too little info... but guessing's fun.

well ... who are the icons that haven't been introduced yet ... sort of a 2nd string icon if he wasn't one of the original characters for the reboot last year ...

Atom had one of the moe interesting straight relationships, at least so far as reversing the suerphero/girlfriend relationship cliche back in the day. Ray Palmer wanted to get married and Jean Loring was the one resisting it.
But given where Jean went toward the end there, he's better off with guys.

I thought I'd look through the June solicits for clues and hints... not that there's any guarantee that the character in question will be mentioned or even alluded to at all. But worth a look, perhaps.
Weather Wizard, Scarecrow, Killer Croc and Mister Bones are all named and I don't *think* any of them have appeared in the new DCU.
Perhaps putting a different spin on 'icon', the Order of Van Helsings in I, VAMPIRE, the Totems in ANIMAL MAN and King Arthur in DEMON KNIGHTS are also listed as debuting in June.
Characters who are either brand new or at least have a name I don't recognize include the Irradiated Man in WORLD's FINEST, Chrona Mota in CAPTAIN ATOM, Rakshasa in FIRESTORM, Doctor Cognate in GREEN ARROW, Nimrod the Hunter in ACTION, Hypnotic in DETECTIVE, Paragon in NIGHTWING, Metamerican and the Meta-Marines in LEGION LOST. Could Metamerican be Metamorpho? Any of these could be a new identity for a new DCU debut.
And if they aren't enough, some figures alluded to but not named are: a new JL villain, The Burners in JLI, the mastermind of the Court of Owls and members of the afore-mentioned Order of Van Helsings and the Meta-Marines.

people are speculating it's not actually a hero but ... Jimmy Olsen or some other 'character'.
