Has Pulsar Stargrave made any appearances in the 31st century since the Birbaum run?

I had read somewhere (perhaps even on this board) that Sensor Girl's original costume... the red and white one... was very similar to that of an existing manga or anime character.
I remember looking the character up and being suprised that, with the exception of the mask, they were nearly identical.
I can't, however, for the life of me, remember the character name or find an online reference to this fact. Does anyone have any idea who I might be talking about?

I'll try and look, Exnihil, but I've got a question. I understand that there were a lot of different artists for Legion of Super-Heroes #300, the cover I mean.
Who did Gene Colan and Walter Simonson draw?

Hmmm... no takers? Could I have imagined this?
I've continued looking, but to no avail. Here's what I remember: The character is wearing nearly the exact same uniform as Sensor Girl (same color scheme, cut, etc.) but no mask. It's a female character with short black hair. I'm not certain whether she's manga or anime based, but certainly from that general style of drawing. Additionally, I seem to remember that she is somehow affiliated with a marine-based setting, like on a submarine or in the navy, or something.
This is driving me nuts.

Not entirely true... dig out LSH: SFO #1. The giant spread by Phil Jiminez of the denizens of the Legion's era includes a member of the Dark Circle. The legend for that photo lists that character (#116) as a "Pulsar Stargrave". Though that was never stated in-story, I thought that was cute foreshadowing that the DC leader was related to Brainiac 5.1, who we later found out was his mother, B4.

I was just reading a column on CBR about Canadian comic-book artists, and noticed that there are a few Canadian artists who've drawn, or otherwise affected, the Legion:
- Joe Shuster cocreated Superman, which is obviously important - John Byrne drew the Legion in the "Death of Superboy" arc, and famously affected the LSH in other ways - Stuart Immonen was the regular LSH penciller for a while in the early-to-mid '90s - Win Mortimer drew some Legion stories in the '60s - Francis Manapul was the regular artist on the Jim Shooter part of the threeboot - Kalman Andrasofszky chipped in on the threeboot once or twice - Alex Serra drew more issues of LSH31C than anybody else - Darwyn Cooke drew the Spark story in Legion Worlds
My questions are, a) can anyone think of any others, and b) did Todd McFarlane ever draw the Legion?
posted
Although not strictly Legion, McFarlane did also draw Vril Dox and Garryn Bek of L.E.G.I.O.N., as well as a slew of Dominators, Khunds, Gil'Dishpan, Durlans, and Daxamites in the "Invasion" series.

I'm currently living in Italy and left all of my old comics in my American house so am unable to reference them. I'm trying to find pictures of all of the Legion family members such as Synde and Berto Ardeen, Luc and Perla Ranzz...etc. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Technically not a Legion question in the strict sense, but...
Xudar is the planet that produced at least a couple of Green Lanterns. Xudarians also pop up in a few crowd scenes in the Legion animated series. Does anyone recall whether any of them were seen or prominently featured in any other Legion stories, and in what capacity?
Anything you've got would be appreciated, as when it comes to old comics, I'm kind of in the same boat as BouncingBear. I've looked at some of the Lantern-centric sites but haven't found much stuff relating to the 30th/31st Century.
Thanks.
