...then who is the yellow-skinned, green-haired guy with the creepy red shawl and boots in this splash page from September 2011's Justice League International #1...?
The previous Creeper from the previous continuity, who escaped the destruction/rebirth of it. When he noticed how horrible this "New" 52 is, he stole a dimensional transporter, and started looking for the less terrible DCU. The one in The Creeper # 1 is the "new" 52-version. But...not...reborn from the originla Creeper, like all the other characters...I guess... God, it`s also difficult to make FAKE histories about DC-characters now-a-days...
So much improvisation and clearly lack of editorial in any kind of form whatsoever...
Didn't we also get like 3 reboots of Lobo so far? One kinda-classic at the start of the Nu52, a reimagining by Rob Liefeld (...missing the entire point Lobo was supposed to be a Keith Giffen parody of the whole 80s/90s gritty character trope) on Deathstroke and the current Lobo "in name only"...

Maybe the old-new Creeper can hang out with the original Nick Fury from the Ultimates universe.

Re the Creeper, if it ain't Ditko it ain't worth a fuck.
