BOOSTER GOLD: The Facts

"Get ready world... cuz the mighty Booster is here at last!"
—Booster Gold, Booster Gold #8, 1986

Since his debut in 1985 as DC Comic's first major character in its newly reorganized post-Crisis on Infinite Earths Universe, Booster Gold has appeared in over 1049 comic books, working alongside most of DC Comics' most storied characters, including Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.

What makes Booster Gold unique is his uncommon embrace of global celebrity and monetary reward for performing superheroic acts often associated with more altruistic heroes. Few would guess that beneath the veneer of self-importance is a hero with a real heart of gold, selflessly dedicated to preserving recorded history.
