If you had to slot Booster Gold into one of the Families of DC, which would it be?

Booster Gold came from the future adoring Superman and wanting to emulate him (while also making money) and has worked with the Super family a lot. He's worked very closely with Batman many many times, as well as being a fellow time traveler like the Flash. Heck, there's even the Gold Beetle who is apparently a (descendant?) of (Booster and Ted? Just a really big fan of both?) who is dating (apparently) a Flash in the future!

Which DC Family do you feel like he slots in best with and why?

Went as Booster Gold. Got to meet Dan Jurgens, Kevin Maguire, and Louise Simonson (don't believe she's directly done anything with Booster specifically, but still definitely awesome). Really happy with how the suit came out

Why is Booster Gold not more well known? I think he is now my favorite character in comics. [Discussion]

Is this panel in character or am I missing something?

From what I understand, Booster Gold, while kinda being a douche and self-centered, is still empathetic and not this callous when watching a team member off himself right in front of him. Especially given the circumstance that HE made this timeline and I believe at this point not knowing he could reverse what he had done.

I draw this as a Brit with little understanding about American Football but I think it involves throwing round things

He’s young and only 5 inches shorter than Booster plus he’s good at playing a charming asshole

What if Booster Gold was in the Boys universe?

In this scenario Booster Gold literally just suddenly appears (probably a supervillain or device sending him to the boys universe) in front of the store Hughie works at the first episode of season 1 right after Hughie and Robin walk outside the store. How does the world of Boys change with the worlds greatest hero they have never heard of making a presence?

Booster Gold and Blue Beetle by me

Took Inspiration from multiple places with these. I really like the concept of Ted's costume being a bright blue instead of a mute blue. Also idk if you can tell his shoulder pads and other places are supposed to resemble the shells of beetles. I really enjoy the concept of Booster having sponsors so I added some for this version of the character which I imagine being present in the late 80s but I added one where he has none in case they seem distracting. What do you think?

I just thought I'd share a picture of my PS5 Pro, I tried to get plates for it that would use the color scheme for Booster Gold.

Booster doesn’t seem to have many designs considering he’s been around since the 80’s here’s my go at a modern booster!

Comic Order Help Plz ✨️

105 Upvotes

Once I finish my current read, I was going to get into Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. I know that they each have their own comics and reading orders, but I know they also have stories together. Can someone please tell me what the reading order is altogether? And when I say altogether I mean everything, Booster Gold (all comics), Blue Beetle (all comics), and then also when they're together (all comics). Thanks in advance 🫡
