Who is Booster Gold?

Booster Gold, or Michael Jon Carter, is a superhero who isn't from our time. He actually comes from the 25th century! In his original time, he wasn't a hero. He was a football player who got into trouble. To escape his past, he traveled back in time to our era.

His Amazing Powers

Booster Gold doesn't have powers like flying or super strength naturally. Instead, he uses special gear from the future.

• He wears a special suit that gives him super strength and lets him fly.
• He has a force field that protects him from attacks.
• He also has a helpful robot friend named Skeets. Skeets is like a walking computer that knows everything about history. This helps Booster Gold predict events and stop bad guys.

Becoming a True Hero

When Booster Gold first came to our time, he wanted to be famous and rich. He used his future knowledge to make money and get attention. But over time, he learned what it truly means to be a hero. He faced many challenges and difficult situations. These experiences taught him to care more about helping others than about fame or money. He eventually became a respected member of the Justice League. This shows that even if you start with selfish reasons, you can grow into a truly good person.
