Three options that jump to my mind: 1) Mon-El. Waid + Kitson mentioned he'd be coming at some point. and we know Kitson has a character sketch he can't reveal yet. 2) Shakiri. See end of TT/Legion Special. notice the glowing eyes. 3) 19th Member. The guy who's feet we see; who's caped silhouette we see; who's sitting next to Princess P; and we know Kitson has a character sketch he can't reveal yet. What d'you all think? Any other ideas?

Is this the yellow-eyed guy? (I don't have the issue yet.) If so, my first thought was Timber Wolf.

I'm guessing it's Mystery Boots Lad.

I'm embarrassed to say that Shikari never occurred to me. The yellow eyes certainly fit. And Shikari did need to use transmatter technology (or whatever they called it in the reboot) to move through space, right?

SPOILER WARNING!!!?!!
How was I supposed to know that this was from the most recent issue? This could have been a topic about a Mystery Figure from ANY point in Legion history. Maybe I could have added some insight since I have a pretty extensive collection. Instead, I'm reading a discussion about something I wanted to read in the book first. If there isn't a rule about spoiler warnings, couldn't we just have some courtesy?

Hmm, figure lurking in the shadows? I just figured it was, um, you know, SHADOW Lass. I didn't think it was colored to show the eyes were actually glowing (my copy is white, not yellow), just artistic license to show there's a person there.
But I like all your theories better, especially Shikari, though I don't think she'd be so quick to jump in and ally her self with one of the factions. Plus, the figure didn't talk in her usual "accent."

would shikari be working with Brainy to help him "enforce" change on the UP?
I think it is most likly to be someone new who we have never seen.

Hmm... actually Shadow Lass might make quite a bit of sense, especially since we know (#1) that she's not happy with Cos's relationship with the U.P., and (#2) she's found out about Brainy's long-term plans. Maybe she's decided to ally herself with Brainy?

Y'know, I hope it's Shikari and that a shake up between this era and the Reboot era starts. Probably not, but it could be cool....

I'm hoping it's T-Wolf, and Sketch Lad, you're right , there should be a spoiler warning. I'll take care of it.

It's probably not Shadow Lass because she appears later in the issue. She and Light Lass are walking in the other direction as the three boys are running off to the bar.
Perhaps that was Chameleon imitating Shadow Lass, but I think that would be unnecessarily complicated.

How do glowing lit up eyes shining bright in the dark = Shadow Lass? We can scratch her from the list.
Maybe it's... LAUREL GAND? That would rock!

Waid said he wouldn't use Darkseid, but he didn't say anything about Kid Darkseid...

Kid Darkseid continues the Silver-Age tradition of making decendants of villains into Legionnaires, like with Brainiac 5, and Homo-Lex and Mr. Mxgayptlk from the Adult Legion!
Mark Waid, I salute you!

If it were one glowing eye, I'd guess he'd reimagined Rond Vidar as Kid Universo...

I wondered if it was Projectra - we don't know anything about her yet so she may well be in Brainy's camp - also she could easily hide from Cos and not beseen leaving.
Legion Worlds NINE - wait, there's even more ongoing amazing adventures? Yup, and you'll only find them in the Bits o' Legionnaire Business Forum.

I assumed it was Tasmia. Who knows?
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Actually, I immediately assumed it was Lyle. He was recruited by Brainy and is refered to as "one of Brainy's kids". His power explains why Cos didn't notice him back there and Brainy's choice of words also point to him..."don't let anyone see you"
