Though Booster is not shown on-panel, a narrative panel details that Booster and Beetle are leading a group of heroes to interrogate Heat Wave, a former member of Flash's Rogues Gallery recently turned hero. The only evidence incriminating Heat Wave is that Sue was badly burned, indicating a criminal who uses a fire motif.
