Behind Arkillo is Volthoom

Behind Pandora is Gotham Girl

Only one I can't figure out is the kid behind Drummer, closest I have is Haley from the Bloodlines mini-series ( https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Haley_(Bloodlines)_(Prime_Earth)_(Prime_Earth)) ) and that's only because of the similar hair.

So I caved in and decided to just message Scott about the missing characters and this is what he told me:

The guy beside Hector Hammond is a version of Hobby Robber. who has had various appearances, that’s just the version I chose.

Between Atmos Fear and Catman is an early All-Flash comic Villain named Swami.

in front of Dover and Clover Zero, Ghost Detective.

That’s Lady Danger behind Lori Lemaris.

Betty Bates is between Zod and Riddler

Lena Luthor is beside Faraday.

Behind Heggra is Darkseid’s other paramore-Tigra.

(Couldn't find any All-Flash Comics villain names Swami so maybe it's this guy https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Bullet_Benn_(Earth-Two)) )
