In case you don’t know who Booster Gold is… Michael Carter was initially a glory-seeking showboat from the future, using knowledge of historical events and futuristic technology to stage high-publicity heroics. Booster Gold has developed over the course of his publication history and through personal tragedies he has become a true hero weighed down by the reputation he has created for himself. Recently, Booster is on a new mission, he now calls himself a “Time Master”, just like Rip Hunter, and has taken on the training of his sister, Michelle Carter, to help protect time.
