Oh, Trixie Collins. Booster Gold wasn't good enough for you!

Last week's poll question: Who makes the best love interest for Booster Gold? (52 votes)

Yesterday we heard that Rip Hunter won't be part of September's Booster Gold: Futures End. Rip Hunter played no part in other big time-travel events, such as Armageddon 2001, Zero Hour, or Flashpoint. Should Futures End be any different?

Booster booster Gio3432 has called me to the carpet for not posting Booster's name drop in last week's Justice League of America #5. MetalWoman had referenced it in the Boosterrific Forum, and I guess I thought that was good enough. But Gio is right, I should have posted the relevant panel here in the Boosterrific Blog, too. To make up for my error, here is the panel:

This is the second name check Booster has gotten in the pages of JLoA so far. (The last time was in issue #1.) How many more until we actually see Booster Gold in an issue?

When you put Captain America in a poll of fan favorites, there's a pretty good chance he's going to come in first. (Curt, just go ahead and pretend that General Glory won.)

Last week's poll question: Who is your favorite time-displaced hero in comics (besides Booster Gold)? (51 votes)

It's been a busy week for Booster Gold fans. First Bleeding Cool breaks the news that DC is working on the Booster Gold volume 3 comic book. Then Andrew Kreisberg told @UniversoDC1 on Twitter that the latest pilot script for the Booster Gold television show is going to SyFy "next week." Big Booster Gold comic and TV news in one week? Whoo-hoo!

I put NBC (one of the "Big Three" broadcast networks) and USA (where "Characters [are] Welcome") among the poll options because they share the same parent company as SyFy: NBCUniversal. They certainly didn't fare well in the poll. Don't make them mad, people. They're still the company in charge of Booster Gold's immediate television future!

Earlier this week, Booster booster Chris Aguinaldo pointed my attention to Newsarama's list of "The 10 Best TIME-TRAVELING Heroes of All Time!" I must say that I do agree with their number 1 choice. However, with so many comic heroes having time traveled at some point in their adventures, their inclusion criteria seemed a little haphazard. (If an unwilling Silver Age Green Lantern can make the list, why not a willing Silver Age Batman or Superman?)

Therefore, I made my own list of time-displaced heroes, specifically heroes who have found themselves doing a majority of their adventuring in a time other than their native era, and I thought I'd turn it over to Booster Gold fans for a vote. What do you have to say? (And before you ask, Booster and Rip Hunter aren't on the list because they're the obvious #1 and #2 choices around here. Really, we're polling for 3rd place!)

As suspected, Booster Gold doesn't actually appear in Justice League of America #1, but he does get a pretty interesting shout out.

If "The Wall" is looking for Booster, it's a sure thing that she'll find him. More interestingly, who is her "temporal specialist"? Could it be Chronos, as Steve Trevor suggests? If so, which Chronos? The original villain David Clinton, anti-hero Gabriel Walker, or perhaps Lady Chronos? Or could it be another time-travelling DC character, like Rip Hunter or Waverider? Maybe even a New 52 re-imagined Extant or Epoch, The Lord of Time? Let the speculation begin!
