Well, the others might be hunted and misunderstood (like Spider-man) but are still heroes.
I was wracking my brain trying to figure out all the characters in that page, and who drew them. Jim Mooney was the first regular artist on Tommy Tomorrow, back in the 1950's, so that makes me think the character in question is Tommy Tomorrow.
What I like about this page is that the characters are mostly either drawn by their creators or by artists of definitive runs, or quite a few by the artists who were doing a then-current new series with the character (like Steve Rude on Mister Miracle, or Matt Wagner on the Demon). I'd guess this was drawn in 1987-1988.
Although it was fun to guess who did what, it's nice to know for sure. Apparently this poster was printed as a 4-page fold-out 3 pages, and 1-page character key) in a HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE hardcover that I've never seen or heard of (till now). And it began (as stated earlier) as a 3rd-floor wall mural in DC's New York City office in the elevator lobby (from 1988 until DC moved its offices to L.A. in 2014). -- Dec 19, 2014
