Re iconic tuba players. How about Cyrus St. Clair?
Well - at least to some of us old enough to remember him

Agree - I was looking for any "iconic" jazz tuba player - somebody
who the average man on the street would know about (like a Louis,
Duke or Miles...)

Don't think there are any except maybe Howard Johnson because of his
playing in the Saturday Night Live band and the shows he did with Taj
Mahal and Gravity.
