"…you like that? A little bit off his rocker, you'd never see my face," he said as the audience sounded off their agreement.
For the uninitiated, Booster Gold is a member of the Justice League. He was created by Dan Jurgens, who also wrote for a number of Superman titles, and was originally depicted as a "glory-seeking showboat from the future."
Michael Jon Carter in real life, Booster came far from the 25th century future Gotham City. Using his knowledge of historical events as well as his arsenal of futuristic technology, the character moved back to the 20th century Metropolis with the intention to stage high-publicity heroics.
Aside from his high-level hand to hand combat skill, he also possesses advanced technology which gives him the ability to make flights, throw powerful blasts, create force fields, capacity to enhance his strengths, and other capabilities.
The character has made only one live action appearance in an episode of "Smallville" and it was for a cameo role. Screen Rant however revealed that "Arrow" and "The Flash" big bosses Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg were in fact commissioned by SyFy network to develop a TV series based on Booster Gold but it never come to fruition.
