It's a Plane! Action Comics #594
Booster Gold was easily defeated when he and Superman fought it out in Booster Gold, volume 1, #7, but only because of the interference of Skeets. (Sadly, it won't prove to be the last time that Skeets betrays Booster. That little turncoat!) With Skeets nowhere to be seen, things went far better for Booster in the rematch in Action Comics #594.
Maybe it was the unexpected death of Goldstar or trouble fitting in with the Justice League. Why else was Booster Gold suddenly acting cruelly to the citizens of Metropolis? As Superman had tried to teach Booster when last they met, not all that glisters is gold. In this case, quite literally.
Even Superman proved no match for this new, vicious Booster Gold. Once Booster Gold had finally beaten the Man of Steel, there was only one hero would could rescue him. That one hero, naturally, was Booster Gold.
It turns out in Booster Gold, volume 1, #23, that Lex Luthor had arranged for a Booster Gold impostor to defeat Superman with Kryptonite. Thanks to the timely intervention of the one true Corporate Crusader, Superman lived to fight another day. That put Superman in Booster's debt, a shared adventure that the Man of Tomorrow would probably prefer to forget.
