PS - is something wrong with your Reboot account? You're only 12 posts away from Trapper status! Or are you waiting for a special occasion to get the 10,000 post mark?

Nope. [Come on, he's ON both the original and final covers!]
This may help - it's the revised solicit image. Everything except Shikari (and the random deletion of a background effect) is the same as in the original solicit bar the addition of colour:

The latter. I want it to be something like a long 21CL post, not something in an inane or trivia thread. I decided to switch here when I realised it may take a few posts to get to the answer

Okay, another clue - the Legionnaire in question is NOT part of the team who fight the "JLA" in the issue - which presumably has something to do with the cover switcharoo.

Gear IS the only other Legionnaire not guessed from the team that actually fought the JLA (Violet and Ultra Boy were the other 2), and I didn't think it would be him. Hmmm...
Star Boy?
Are you planning your 10K post to be within the year? Can't wait to see where you're taking your "main" quartet in 21C
Okay, there seems to be a lot of throwing out random names going on making this harder than I expected. Think about it. M'Onel is paired with Superman, XS with Flash and there's a shapeshifter's duel between J'Onn and Cham. Given that, who - amongst those actually on the team at that point* - would you pair up against Batman?
(*Note that neither Umbra nor Karate Kid, both guesses otherwise on the right lines, were actually members as of The Legion #12 - the depowered Umbra departed in #10 and wouldn't reappear until #24, while Karate Kid was still stuck on Steeple with Ferro until #22).

I definitely want it to be before the year's out, yeah. If by the quartet you mean Cos/Trinity and Spark/don't-call-him-Brainy, I have to get out of the EW aftermath first, which is stymieing me - I've got quite a bit to sort out at the Academy. (And I also want to get back to Laurel & Lydia as well at some point!)

LOL. I was going with Legionnaires who I knew to be at the battle. Don't know why I blanked on Lyle though,probably because I knew he was elsewhere at the time.

I haven't had much time to think of my own plans either - actually I don't really have any. Lately I've been filled with ideas for Postboot Legion stories and LMB-verse ones... Yup, that's the quartet I was mentioning, since I know you have big plans for them and I think you haven't fleshed them out as much as your plans for Dani and the Academy?

Oh, I've got plenty of plans - after the current arc there is done (albeit that's a bit away), I'll be leaving the Academy for a wee bit since I've had my plan for what's going to happen with Cos/Trinity for quite literally years now and I want to get it moving! And there's some stuff in Cathingham (Laurel/Lydia) that I want to get done too. In that context, my fairly-recently-devised plans for Spark & Q will probably wait, since there is more planning to go there.
It's just finding the time and capacity to actually write the damn stuff down that's my problem. Too long sitting at a white screen....
[Anyway, we should probably take this to PM. EDE will no doubt think of a question at SOME point ]
