Hmm... Power Girl, Star Girl, Green Lantern, Wildcat, Hawkman, Flash... Yeah, so I probably wasn't much help... 
I am curious about the new J.S.A. series.

Nate's looks about right. In my general looking around the net for comic sstuff, I got pointed to THE ABSORBASCON that indicated that the woman between Hawkman and Flash is the New Original Red Tornado (as in the one that wore a bucket on his head in the Golden Age). Click the link above for some more speculation.

I'm confused... Is one of the Red Tornado's powers to change gender at will? lol. I don't know anything about the character.

This is some kind of decendent of the Golden Age Red Tornado. Her real name is Maxine "Ma" Hunkel. She has recently become the mother figure for the JSA. According to the Wikipedia article I linked to above, this new one is some kind of young relative of Maxine's.
The Golden Age Red Tornado is not the robot Red Tornado that we are all familiar with.

Newsarama talked to Geoff Johns about the Justice Society and the cover to issue 1. Here is that part of the interview on the JSA:
Source: http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=79802
NRAMA: And then you're working on Justice Society of America, which will have a new #1 issue coming out in December. You revealed the cover to Issue #1 by Alex Ross over the weekend at the comic convention in Chicago.
GJ: Yeah.
NRAMA: Let's talk about some of these new characters on that cover. Who's the starry guy in the front? Starman?
GJ: That's Starman.
NRAMA: Can you tell us anything about him?
GJ: No, I'd rather not. But I can say he's very different than the other members.
NRAMA: Who's the colorful steel-looking guy in the front?
GJ: Commander Steel. A new Commander Steel.
NRAMA: Brand new one?
GJ: Brand new. New powers. You'll meet him in Issue #2.
NRAMA: Maxine Hunkel's in the back with the red hair. You told us her name in San Diego. Is her code name going to be Red Tornado?
GJ: No, it will not be Red Tornado.
NRAMA: Can you tell us anything else about her?
GJ: She's a very fun character. I don't really want to spoil anything else about her, because it's going to be so fun for everyone to meet her in the first issue.
NRAMA: Let's see, then there's Damage in the back, whom you've confirmed before. And then there are these glowing eyes in the background....
GJ: Ah yeah. The eyes. Everyone's been asking me who the eyes are. They're like, is it Obsidian? The eight ball says yes.
NRAMA: So does this cover include everyone who is on the new Justice Society?
GJ: That's not the final team.
NRAMA: So it's bigger than that?
GJ: Well, we're making it a real society, so the spotlight will rotate a bit. But we're going to make it a real society of heroes, so there's a few more who are going to come onto the stage that we just didn't want to get into yet.
NRAMA: But all the people who are in that picture are Justice Society of America members.
GJ: Yes.
NRAMA: Some of the more familiar, long-time members in this picture weren't around one year later. Can you tell us where they were during the missing year?
GJ: ... [smiles]
NRAMA: OK. Well, Hawkman's in the picture. We haven't seen him in a long time. He's obviously coming back.
GJ: Hawkman is coming back.
NRAMA: Where are we going to find out how he came back?
GJ: You'll find out in .... well ... he'll be back in the DCU very soon.
NRAMA: You won't say where?
GJ: Well ... the obvious book is Hawkgirl. [laughs]
You don't get it, boy... this isn't a mudhole... it's an operating table.
