How Many Costumes Does One Trophy Room Need?

All week, we've been looking at Booster Gold costumes found hanging in the JLA Trophy Rooms. On Monday we saw the Mark II. On Tuesday it was the Mark XI. Today, we return to the classics.

As seen in this panel from JLA Secret Files #2, Zauriel introduces us to the prize possession of the JLA Trophy Room: Booster Gold's original armor.

Booster Gold's original Mark I powersuit, cobbled together from items stolen from the Space Museum in 2462, was destroyed by Doomsday, the same creature that "killed" Superman. Though the torn fabric could be repaired, 20th-century technology could not restore the suit's functions. Although Booster bravely wore the de-powered costume in one last adventure (seen in Justice League Europe #49 and #50), it was soon replaced with inferior and bulky 20th-century technology.

So there you have it. Booster Gold has 3 costumes hanging in the JLA Trophy Room. (How many Superman costumes do you think it has?) If anyone asks you why the JLA built a headquarters on the moon, tell them it is because they needed more closet space.
