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?

Ok, so Booster Gold can't be seen anywhere in Absolute Power #2. But that's not the only place you won't find our hero!

As reported by BleedingCool.com and other sources, earlier this week X.com user romaa_0905 asked director James Gunn whether Booster Gold will appear in his upcoming Superman movie. Gunn's answer?

"No."

Great! Now I don't have to watch Superman. Thanks, James!

However, Booster booster Rob Snow reports that elsewhere on X, via DCOfficial to be precise, it appears we are getting confirmation that Booster Gold will definitely be in next month's DC All-In Special #1.

Technically, the post I've linked to above is promoting the "Justice League membership cards" DC (via Lunar Distribution) is distributing to comic shops to promote Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and... Darkseid(???) in October. For more information about that story and when you can get your own copy of those cards, visit thepopverse.com.

But don't be distracted by the shiny card. The important takeaway here is that Booster Gold will definitely be seen in the DC All-In Special when it comes to your Local Comic Shop on October 2. Thanks, Rob!
