The internet produces the strangest things. Case in point is a thread on the Gamespot Game FAQs message board for the Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 video game titled "So we get Rocket Raccoon, but not Booster Gold?". On one level, I feel the need to point out that Booster Gold is not a Marvel character. But on another level, I have an undeniable urge to say, "yes, please!"

As an aside, let me confess that I've been a Rocket Raccoon fan since his self-titled 1985 series. [Booster Gold and Rocket Raccoon? That was a good year for comics!] If I still bought Marvel Comics, I'd be buying Rocket Raccoon comics. Something about an interstellar raccoon with bubble helmet, laser guns, and an alliterative name really does it for me. Don't judge me.

Returning to the point, whether this poster was serious or not, this post reminds us that we still don't have any video games with a playable Booster Gold character. This is an oversight that must be corrected. Programmers, take note: Booster Gold, The Video Game, as soon as possible (Rocket Raccoon optional).
