History: Michael Jon Carter was born on December 29th, in the year 2442. He grew up to be a foolhardy and egotistical man, and his only stand out talents were his notorious silver tongue, and his ability to promote himself. Never having been the best student growing up, he took a much deeper liking to sports, and football more specifically. Eventually he acquired a scholarship, and proceeded to become a star of college football, and even gained the nickname 'Booster'. However, being the scheming and selfish man we've all come to know and love, Michael started actually betting on his own games. He was caught rather quickly, and was banned from playing the sport altogether.
Forced to take a part-time job at the Metropolis Space Museum, Michael 'Booster' Carter was down, out, and on his last leg. On his nights alone at the museum, Michael began to to take an interest in 21th century history, particularly in that time period's Superheroes and Villains. After some time he became completely fed up with where his life was going, and began to concoct a scheme. Through the aid of a museum security robot called Skeets, Michael took a Legion Flight Ring from a display involving the Legion of Super-Heroes and a Force Field Belt that belonged to Brainiac 5. He also acquired a power suit that granted him Super Strength and belonged to an unknown Superhero. Lastly he took wrist bands that released Force Bolts and using Rip Hunter's Time Sphere he sets off for the 21th Century along with Skeets who possessed some historical records dating back to pre-21th Century history.
Upon arrival in our time, Michael used a credit card he had also taken from the museum and used it to set himself up until he could make a living on his own. He adopted the name Jesus Alvarez on the credit card for a short time telling himself that he would pay him back as soon as he could. After he found a place to stay he quickly made use of his stolen technology from the future and Skeets' knowledge of events to come in order to mold himself into a successful Superhero. His first experience was saving the President's life from a villain named Chiller. In gratitude the President honored Booster with the Medal of Honor. Booster planned to use this moment to announce his Superhero name. He planned on calling himself Goldstar but he was so nervous all he got out was “uhh...Booster... No wait Gold...” So the President called him Booster Gold. He shortly created a successful company he called Goldstar Incorporated and his sister and friend Trixie Collins would wear a uniform made by Dr. Jack Soo of S.T.A.R. Labs and they called her Goldstar as well.
An interesting transformation took place for the character eventually. Although his initial appearances focused on that of a kind of corporate celebrity superhero, he later came to take on a very different role. The roots of this are in an animated episode of Justice League Unlimited called the "The Greatest Story Never Told" where he is put on crowd control as the League fights a cataclysm. Unknown to them there is a much larger threat, where a scientist has accidentally opened a portal to another dimension which is going to devour our own. He successfully fights it off, but as he was working alone he never received credit for what he did. He took to the merged world well enough, finding a new ally in his ionic Amalagamate, Wondergold. He is currently trying to use his ties to get himself into Hollywood.
Equipment: Booster Gold has possession of a Legion Flight Ring. (See Cosmic Boy's bio for details), Brainiac 5's Force Field Belt, and a power suit.
His future-tech power suit grants him enhanced strength, and wrist projectors that allow him to release powerful force bolts. He has since had many other suits, but his most recent provides all the same functions that his original suit and technology provided. The suit enhances his strength, allowing him to lift c. 200 tons without exerting himself he has displayed in the past lifting a 747 while still being able to fly. The suit is highly durable, withstanding bullets without losing its integrity. The suit also is equipped with a force field, able to withstand powerful impact forces. The field once withstood a punch from Doomsday, protecting Booster Gold from the latter's attacks. The field can also filter atmospheric air to clean it from germs and pollution. While he doesn't use his wrist blasters often, Booster's force fields are immensely powerful, and have saved him on many occasions, his blasters have been shown capable of melting several meters of solid concrete. His gauntlets also allow him to create and absorbing field which acts similar to a tractor beam, in which he can grab hold of objects and move them about or hurdle them at foes, This affect can be used as singular beam or wide field he has been able to pull together over thirty large metal balls all over 500 pounds each. He is also capable of disrupting objects on a molecular level such as fusing them together. He once used a regular field to contain Metamorpho completely with no problem.
He also has had time traveling technology installed into his suit.
As well Booster's sense's are all amplified by his goggles and future technology. He can perceive the entire electromagnetic spectrum including but not limited to infra red, ultra violet, x-ray, and more. The goggles also serve as a telescopic and microscopic vision and protection from sudden flashes. His hearing is as well amplified to super human levels allowing him to hear things no other human can hear.
For the better part of his time in the 20th and 21st century, Booster has had with him a Space Museum Security robot by the name of Skeets, who possessed vast historical knowledge. Skeets has also been shown to have offensive capabilities such as blasters similar to Booster's gauntlets. Booster repeatedly uses Skeets' records to inform him of future events. Gold also possessed limited and vague Time Travel technology, although it is unclear what exactly he used to travel back to the 25th century, having apparently used Rip Hunter's time sphere to get to the 20th century initially. Skeets is also shown as being able to hack in to nigh-any computer system he has encountered.
Booster Gold sometimes travels in time in the time-sphere.
Powers: None
Skills: Since Booster comes from the future, he has a significant amount of knowledge of his history, or our present. This means that he sometimes knows events that will happen in our future and the information that other heroes may not have. Skeets' vast historical knowledge also contributes to this. He is an average hand to hand fighter.
Weaknesses: Booster's scheming for self glory can sometimes hamper his effectiveness. Also his knowledge of the time stream can backfire at him as he forgets he and other time travelers have affected things slightly.
Trivia:
- Booster seems to have taken some concern over Jessica Cruz's situation.
- He called Wondergold BroGold. Even Ted thinks it is stuipid.
- Booster has had some odd timeline run ins with Cable.
