The artist tweeted the image, and the classified character isn't blacked out. Not sure how long this will remain available, but here we go:

Yeah ... I'm not seeing the similarities with any of the female characters in the one big splash page

Maybe a 4001 version of the top left character :?

Why is there an obvious error on the right in the middle where the two images come together and they don't match (missing top half of purple guy, different star colors in the background)? :hm:

Thought I'd make this a little easier to discuss some of the new characters in the picture. Also, who are those three red character floating about in the background? New alien race introduced in 4001AD? What about the two characters directly below the XO robot? They both look like raddies, but it doesn't make sense they'd be shooting at each other, so is one of them a good guy?

Red: So this is our character with a 'sentient sniper rifle'. Looks like a raddie to me. Might be nice to see what's happening from the Raddie's point of view in this universe.

Orange: Who is this guy?

Yellow: Female Solid Snake (google 'Metal Gear Solid') comes to Valiant! :lol: Seriously, Britannia maybe? Spylocke's replacement?

Don't like Bloodshot's 4001 outfit :| Could definitely do without the shoes and weird giant glove, not to mention the 'Liefeld pouches'.
Good to see robo-geomancer here. I quite like this character :)
Is it just me, or does Shadowoman's outfit kind look like some kind of weird, barely nipple covering, swimsuit on her top half? Not convinced by that design tbh :| Still, cool to have a Shadowoman to shake things up a bit.

I think Orange is just a random raddie

I think Yellow is Lula Lee as a new Spylocke.. As of issue 12 one of her eyes are gone and the existing Spylocke is dead

Red might be Savage i think..

She looks like a 2000AD(The british anthology series)character..Sort of like a mix of Tank Girl and Rogue Trooper..Especially her looks and the Sentient sniper rifle..

I think some of the characters in there represent the people Rai met after he was banished to Earth. The gas mask guy to the right of the X-O armor, for example.

Lemur's obviously there though, so you're not wrong about that.

Reminds me of the old Spidey costume from Secret Wars.

I was thinking it might be the bottom left? Both of them are wearing scarfs and their boots are kind of similar.

Similarity's not close enough for me. Simply wearing a scarf doesn't compensate for the other obvious differences in these characters for me.
