boosters Oh welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we will explore the comic book
origins of Booster Gold can i real
autograph of course you can I thought
you were Green Lantern as with most
comic book characters they’re often
reimagining and different versions to a
character’s past we have chosen to
primarily follow the storyline which
unfolded in 1986 is Booster Gold number
one and six which was expanded upon in
1989’s secret origins number 35 and 2008
Booster Gold number zero and number one
million we’re all gonna die hey I’m not
dressed for Halloween Booster Gold is a
bona fide superhero the dynamic figure
of Booster Gold was introduced to
readers in the first issue of his own
comic book series rather than meeting
our hero in the midst of a deadly battle
readers were greeted with booster
negotiating a highly remunerative film
deal
watch out 21st century heroes there’s a
new gold standard in crime-fighting
save me let’s come all the way from the
future to show you how it’s done
it’s booster clearly this booster gold
was a celebrity but there were some
rather odd things about him for example
he frequently stumbled over everyday
expressions and idioms and he had a
flight ring from the Legion of
super-heroes and his robotic sidekick
Skeets made oblique references to the
future
Skeets old buddy you know what I gotta
do I know what you should do sir
I got a team-up with crab man all this
was explained in a sixth issue when
booster met Superman the Man of Steel
deduced that booster and Skeets were
from the future
Skeets confirmed that they were indeed
from the 25th century and that boosters
real name is Michael John Carter
revealing yourself to the world put that
suit on display and steal my thunder
what do you say this it doesn’t make the
hero heroes made in the moment by the
choices that he makes and the reasons
that he makes them in his own time
Michael had been a college quarterback
with a brilliant professional career
awaiting him unfortunately before
Michael could embark on that career it
was revealed that he had been betting on
his own football games his dreams of
fame and fortune disappeared overnight
and his personal life dive-bombed as
well
his father had become a compulsive
gambler who deserted his family and his
distraught mother
therefore disowned her son Michael was
reduced to working as a night watchman
at the Space Museum as luck would have
it one of the exhibits at the Museum was
a time machine used by rip hunter the
pioneer time traveler you’re really a
hero from the future that’s a fact
Michael devised a plan whereby he would
steal several items including the legion
flight ring and other weapons and then
travel back to the 20th century to find
his fame and fortune as a superhero I
created this flight suit and a time
travel device to come here
the twist of course was that Michael
would use his knowledge of history to
help a massive fortune and use his
celebrity as a superhero to gain product
endorsement and other opportunities that
would increase his wealth even more thus
began boosters career in the 20th
century which would earn him respect for
his heroics scorn for his a voracious
goals and suspicions about his true
motives at the time
what kind of crime we busting tonight
partner trespassing how did you track me
here boosters origin story remained
fairly stable over the years but some
new details were added over time the
most significant addition came in 1989’s
secret origin number 35 relating his
origin to his buddy Blue Beetle whose to
reveal that the reason he began gambling
on his football games wasn’t because he
was greedy it was because his mother was
seriously sick and he needed money to
get her an expensive treatment she died
early needed in 2008 another element was
added to boosters origin in this
retelling Michael stopped his illegal
football gambling after his mother
received the treatment she needed
however Michael’s succumb to pressure
from his father to resume gambling
hoping it would gain him the parental
love he had never had unfortunately that
didn’t work out the way Booster had
planned yet another piece of information
about Booster came about this time over
the years booster had come in contact
with rip hunter whose time machine he
had used to travel back to the present
time Hunter had enlisted boosters help
in dealing with anomalies caused by time
travel and readers soon learned why
unbeknownst to booster rip hunter was
boosters grown-up son Booster Gold with
his striking blue and gold outfit makes
a stunning visual impression and has
been featured in several episodes of DC
Universe TV series time alone will tell
when he will turn up next but for a guy
who bounces from one century to another
