where Robin-2 and Huntress-2 are about to be 'offed by the Shadow
Demons, there's this other guy trapped there in a blue suit and dark
sunglasses, who is also destroyed.

Anyone know who this poor now-nonexistent soul might be?  (A friend suggested
Midnight, the DC Spirit rip-off who appeared briefly in All-Star Squadron,
but he had a blue mask.  I hope that it isn't Dr. Midnight!)
               
Second question.  Why kill only HALF of Hawk and Dove?

I thought it was the Clark Kent persona of Superman-2, a nice bit of
foreshadowing, since Supes-2 probably won't need his secret identity
wherever he is now.  The blue suit, white shirt, tie and glasses are Clark,
but the tie is black rather than red, and the glasses are shaded.

On the other hand, maybe I'm getting too involved in these things and the
victim is just an innnocent bystander.
