Very odd.
I imagine I'll pick this up as it's one issue, but do we count this as a team member? A legacy character? A homage?

Saying that, the character appears on all of the variants...

I’m thinking it’s a homage. Guess time will tell

I'd say Legacy.

But he does look just a little different to *our* Northstar.

Just a little.

Having flicked through the issue I haven't picked it up, and won't be listing it as an appearance; no mention of our Northstar is made, or any connection.
It seems like a homage rather than a legacy.

Thanks for checking. Didn’t realize the issue already came out
