Per TVTropes.org, Internet Rule 63 is defined: "For every given male character, there is a female version of that character, and vice versa."

Example from instagram.com/marlon_vallieri/:

While the original pinup artist, Marlon Vallieri, identifies this piece as "Booster Gold", I like to think of it as a drawing of Booster's fraternal twin sister, Michelle, also known as the superhero Goldstar.

Although, come to think of it, I suppose it's possible that all the fan art pinups that at first glance look to be Booster Gold might really be gender-swapped Goldstars. It's all a matter of perspective, innit?

On the other hand, Skeets, being a genderless robot, is always just Skeets, and that's the way we like it!

Booster Gold appears in bit parts in about a half dozen comics released in January 1990, so let's skip ahead to his next significant role, Justice League America #37. How significant? Well...

Oh, boy. Looks like tempers are flaring. (That may be because Fire is sizzling! Way to liven up a scene, Adam Hughes.) At the end of the day, they're all friends. I'm sure cooler heads will prevail, and it'll all blow over, right?

So long, Justice League!

There's no sign that Booster Gold will be in any of the new comics coming to your Local Comic Shop this week, but he will be in one of the older ones, specifically the reprint collection Batman/Superman: World's Finest Volume 4: Return to Kingdom Come.

If you are enjoying Absolute Power, I can safely say you'll like Batman/Superman: World's Finest. It's the same creative team, and they're old hands at handling "big" stories. (Which is why some of us feel Absolute Power should have been four issues of that title instead of a badly-bloated standalone event that exists only to launch a new series of alternate reality comics. But some of us are just grumpy old malcontents.)

Now, I don't want to lead you on. The Booster Gold in Batman/Superman: World's Finest Volume 4: Return to Kingdom Come is not our familiar Booster Gold, but the Booster Gold from Earth-22, and he's not exactly integral to the story. In fact, he appears on exactly 4 panels. Still, some Booster Gold is better than no Booster Gold, right?
