Actually, the very first post said:And nobody else new has come along since Courtney that uses a cosmic rod, and I'm not aware of any new character created since Courtney that goes by Starman.
* Mikaal Tomas first appeared back in the mid-1970s.
* Will Payton first appeared in 1988.
* And even the most recent Starman I can think of (Danny Blaine / Thom Kallor) was really Star Boy of the Legion of Super-Heroes (who first appeared in the early 1960s).
We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of Wakanda. We are the teeth of the Panther God. Out of 10,000 years of sweat and bloodshed and battle are we born. We are the women of this ancient land. Deadliest of the species. And our time has come!

Red Tornado would totally suit a book in the same vein as The Vision. He already HAS a family, a human wife and adopted daughter, right? Maybe the girl would ask for a sibling, so he BUILDS her one - a character who could be DC's version of Viv Vision?
Within the next couple of months. i.e. when the Stargirl show is on air. If they don't solicit it by the time season 2 of the TV show ends, then they're idiots. Strike while the iron is hot!

Apparently my man, Ray Palmer. I don't know why DC hates him so much.

I didn't say they have to be "new" characters (in fact, don't forget I didn't start / create this thread).
I am pointing out that DC still seems to be going with Coutney as the main Starman-line character and that other characters who have had that name in the past have made appearances recently but are NOT characters who will be in a position to "HEADLINE A TITLE AGAIN" in the foreseeable future. (And since the TITLE of this thread was "CHARACTERS WE WON'T SEE HEADLINE A TITLE AGAIN FOR A VERY LONG TIME...", any of the previous Starmen would probably fit that category at least until Geoff Johns totally leaves DC Comics.)

Peyton and Tomas were both in Justice League, DC's premier team book, one of which was under Snyder, DC's biggest writer at that time. At a time when Courtney wasn't even being used in the comics. She was shelved for quite some time at that point.
At this point if anyone gets a series it would be her, but only because of the TV show considering how both major publishers love synergy. But DC are in no way apprehensive to use other Starman characters or are handcuffed to Courtney as history has proven.

Buried Alien - THE FASTEST POST ALIVE!
First CBR Appearance (Historical): November, 1996
First CBR Appearance (Modern): April, 2014
First, the Starmen you mention didn't headline those books you mention (headlining a book being in the title of the thread that I started, so you're nitpicking). However, if it will get this popcorn kernel out from between your teeth and gums, I was inspecific. You should be able to see it in the OP, but, as you can't, I referred to the interpretations of Starman linked to Ted Knight's technology.
Candidly (even knowing this will put more popcorn kernels in your dentures), in the context of DC's whole history, the other Starmen you cite are irrelevant.
Neither has Courtney. The only book she's headlined was when she was the Star Spangled Kid.
You also act as if there have been numerous series headlined by Starman. To my knowledge, there have only been two Starman ongoings, one with Peyton (who didn't use Ted Knight's technology that you are so insistent has to be used to qualify) and the other with Jack.
Popcorn kernels? Sorry your thread isn't an echo chamber of only people that agree with you.
Also their relevancy is your opinion. If you want to go into DC's "whole history" Peyton had an ongoing for 4 years, and Tomas was an openly gay character at a time when it was far from the norm in DC comics, and only beginning to become more commonplace at the big two publishers.
