Booster Gold is one of several members of the Justice League International "seen" by the ethereal Firestorm as he travels forward through time witnessing the events of his own life. The narration would seem to imply that Firestorm is seeing the League lineup of the Satellite Era, when Firestorm was a member of the team (in 1980), or the Justice League lineup that reformed in the wake of the Legends mini-series (in 1986). However, the accompanying illustration is clearly the current Justice League International team seen in the recently completed Millennium event (1988). This is Booster's only appearance in this issue.
