But looking at that cover revealed someone we hadn't seen for a while.

Grunge from Gen-13. Co-created by cover artist and publisher of DC Comics Jim Lee. Percival Edmund "Grunge" Chang: is able to mimic the molecular structure of any material he touches (and partially bestow this effect on others). His father is Team 7 member Phillip Chang. And created by Jim Lee, Brandon Choi and J. Scott Campbell.

Well in an ad for the volume running in this week's DC Comics titles, we get a confirmation of sorts, that it is at least him on the cover, in the middle of the page below.

Grunge, as well as OMAC, Green Lantern, Red Arrow, Cheshire, New Super Man, Katana, Cheshire Cat, The Atom and Batgirl. Will we see more of him? If so Grunge will join other returning WildStorm characters of late including Apollo, Midnighter, Grifter into the DC Universe, with mention of The Authority, Team 6, Deathblow, Halo and Jacob Marlowe.
