The Jimmy Olsen in that book looks like he's like 10 or 12 years old.

That might be because he's wearing a gorilla's bathrobe.

I don't know if that's Mr. Bones in the lower left, but I'd hope that the paramedics would put on some gloves when working on a guy where skin to skin contact is lethal.

I'm still annoyed that Superman looks basically as he always as, but now Lois looks like Generic Attractive Woman. Like if you show someone Mary Jane or Gwen Stacy out of context they can tell you who that is, and you used to be able to do that with Lois, too.

Lois is in a t-shirt and jeans at home in those panels. To me the only thing really identifiable about Lois is what she's wearing when she's at work, otherwise without those clothes or missing other context she's just some brunette. Her and Betty Brant could switch places and I'd never know.

The reason MJ or Gwen have any advantage being identified is their hair colour. Barring any other clues or context just guessing a redhead you see in a comic is MJ has pretty good odds of being right because of how prominent a character she is. But it could be Jean Grey. There's a reason a lot of professional and fan art has MJ and Gwen wearing their iconic clothing/accessories or wearing some kind of Spider-Man clothing to clue the viewer in.

Edit: but as a thought experiment, truly removing all context is hard. Even just recognizing the artist can be a big hint. And you should remove any speech bubbles because of the lettering.

Depending on whether it's a close-up or not, Pepper Potts usually has prominent freckles but some artists do that for MJ, too. I know J. Scott Campbell does the same way he does for all redheads.

Out of context stuff has had people thinking hope was either the time displaced Jean Grey, or just Jeand Grey being drawn too young.

Even Peter Parker suffers the same problem. That's why artists often give him those Spider-Mandible locks of hair on his forehead.
