well, now I guess we find out what Booster's future is going to look like, I'm hoping its so bright you have to wear shades.

I really enjoyed that article. And i think Booster benefits significantly from the newer coloring technologies and particularly from a colorist that takes the job so seriously. The reflective gold effect trumps the yellow. Give the level of creative interaction required, it is amazing they ever get comics out on time.

Still reading though my borrowed JLI comic books in preparation for Justice League: Generation Lost, I was still in diapers when those came out. I'm now at JLA #48. It's really sad that Max ended up the way he is in current continuity. I really do like him in the JLI books.

Diapers! Well, at least you are getting around to rediscovering the classics, you young whippersnapper. The late 1980s, the early post-Crisis years, stand up really well, with a lot of innovative and exciting stories.

I am also rereading JLI (from comics I bought first hand as a mid-teen... I feel old) as I prep for Gen Lost. I am WAY too excited for this series... surely I am setting myself up for dissappointment.

Harry: Oh, I hope not. Is it out already? I haven't got around to visiting my local store yet to check. Boosterrific: Haha, oh well, I'll have to see about that. :D I have yet to find somebody to lend me the old Booster series and those old books.

Oh, Beetle and Booster in a walk. Access to far superior technology and Booster should be immune to conventional weapons (as long as the Joker isn't involved). Plus, the blue and gold would be so distracting with their witty quips! Course, they would loose a popularity contest hands down.

Just discovered that this topic was featured in a previous thread in the same KillerMovies forums back in 2007. (See http://www.killermovies.com/forums/f77/t461704.html.) Seems they couldn't decide who was better then, either.

as much as I love Blue & Gold, I gotta go with Iron Man and War Machine since Tony Stark is one of the smartest peolpe in the Marvel universe, and Rhodey is a tactical genius, I'm not saying Blue & Gold would lose for sure since Ted is a genius as well, and Booster's bufoon act is certainly there to hide his potential from the enemy, but in the end, the Marvel heroes just have more firepower (and only Booster has a shield) once Ted goes down (and he would at some point) Booster would surely be outmaneuvered

I feel that I must maintain neutrality in this argument. I think it's pretty clear who's side I'd come down on. After all, this site isn't named IronManiac.com.

Iron Man is a wuss. His mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries.

Ooh, that's telling those Iron Man fans, Harry. Maybe now they'll go away before you are forced to taunt them a second time. Though I suspect that most Iron Man supporters have already left to watch the current film starring their hero rather than linger here for quotations from a comedy classic about iron-clad men released 35 years ago today!

it's merely a flesh wound btw, Iron Man is about the only title I read from Marvel, its the only thing that keeps me half interested in whatever event they throw. I do like the Blue & Gold, but being intellectually honest, I still have to give IM and WM the edge (though it would be close due to Booster's ability to improvise and think on his feet)

The way I see it, the match pretty well boils down to Booster Gold vs. Iron Man, as Blue Beetle's physical vulnerability and War Machine's inflexible (shall I say bloodthirsty?) mindset are relatively easily exploited. Booster Gold has an insurmountable physical defense via his impenetrable force field and employs sufficient power to dismantle an armored tank with ease. Iron Man cannot match Booster Gold for straight power, but could defeat him via strategic thinking, especially given Booster's tendency towards straightforward tactics, his terrific ego, and need for public approval. I call the matchup a push, and grant victory to the side with the greater time to plan.

holy crap, I just noticed my previous posts were labeled anonymous, I'm not sure how that happened, but I take responsibility for the pro-Iron Man sentiment expressed above though I concede that the fight could go either way, I maintain that if they were to fight 10 times, Iron Man would probably win more than half the time. though it would never be an easy victory

Wow! Hiding behind anonymity, much like one Mr. Tony Stark. (Comic book, pre-villain, Stark, that is.) I appreciate the verisimilitude, 'pete.
