The unsuspecting Booster is ambushed by miniaturized Khundians, the only members of the Alien Alliance that Booster will meet face-to-face at the time of the invasion. (Much later, Booster will encounter Dominators while visiting their home world, and the Dominators will ironically consider Booster the leader of a human-led invasion against the Dominator race.) In the global chaos spawned in the wake of the detonation of the Alien Alliance's gene bomb, an unaffected Booster Gold will be one of the few heroes defending the world while a cure is sought for those heroes affected by the bomb.

D

Note that villains whose names begin with the letter "d" have long been a particular concern for Booster Gold. Booster's first major foe was the Director of the 1000, who managed to corrupt Skeets I (with the aid of Doctor Shocker) and damage Booster's power-suit. The aliens of Dimension X kidnapped his sister, resulting in her death. Doomsday effortlessly destroyed his first power-suit. Devastator severed his arm (in a story fittingly titled "D-Day"). If Booster were superstitious, I suspect that he'd leave the "d"s to other heroes from now on.

The Director employed a number of agents in an attempt to destory Booster Gold. Senator Ballard's aide Myron launched a tax evasion crusade against Booster Gold. The armored Blackguard (Richard Hertz) and psychic Mindancer were hired by the 1000 to defeat Booster Gold in combat. The 1000 freed Clarence Schiffel from prison so that he cold don his Shockwave armor and assault on Booster Gold's headquarters, REILLEAU TOWERS.

While the European branch of the JUSTICE LEAGUE often found themselves at odds with the Extremists and anecdotal evidence indicates that Booster Gold may have battled the Extremists in the past, Booster Gold did not directly combat Dreamslayer until he commanded the NEW EXTREMISTS.

Criminal mastermind Lex Luthor presents to the public the image of an upstanding businessman, owner and president of the conglomerate LexCorp.

Lex Luthor hates all competition, and while Booster Gold was the owner of the thriving BOOSTER GOLD INTERNATIONAL business, LexCorp was amongst its chief rivals. Luthor eventually hired an employee of BGI to attack Booster Gold as the villain Attack Dog One in order to damage both BGI's and Booster's public image, a plan foiled by Booster Gold with the aid of SUPERMAN.
