Safety First

Ok, so everything seems to be working around here. How about we give a poll a shot?

Winner and still champion of your Local Comic Shop's bargain bin, Extreme Justice!

Last week's poll question: ( votes)

In recent months, the NFL has been cracking down on player safety in the light of new evidence about the long-term damage of concussions. If football is no longer a safe sport for our kids to play, maybe Booster Gold should consider white-washing his past to be a better role-model.

I voted baseball, but if we go along wit DCnU origin of Toranto, it would be Hockey. There is no one more american than Booster Gold and I don't see how flashpoint changed the fact that he was born in Gotham City.

Ice hockey, natch. Booster Gold is Canadian now, because in 2462 Gotham is part of Canada. If not I would pick soccer because it is the Booster Gold of sports - underrated, looked-down-on by fans of the other sports, but secretly great.

I still haven't read anything in the issues that make him canadian. Which issue establishes this?

There was plenty of opportunity to establish Booster's nationality (as American or Canadian or whatever) in JLI, and it was never explicitly done. Maybe Booster is a man without a country?

I thought DC said he was Canadian? I prefer if he is. Everybody's American.

At FanExpo 2011 (in Canada!), DC's panelists said that they were planning on making Booster Gold Canadian after FLASHPOINT. (Charger reports a firsthand account in the comments of this post: www.boosterrific.com/news.php?date=2012-04-06&Booster-Gold-International-Canada.) However, that statement has never been followed-up in any published source. Since Booster has always been an American in the comics, he will remain an American in the comics until DC explicitly publishes an origin that states otherwise.

There have been 2858 blog entries since January 2010.
