Seven Years a Superhero

I'm a reclusive misanthrope, so I have to rely on awesome Booster boosters like Steven Palchinski to alert me when cool Booster Gold info shows up on social media, info like this post from Dan Jurgens on X:

While signing a copy of BG #1 at SDCC, asked, "How old is he, anyway?" A: Dropped out of college at age 21-22. Worked as a security guard, stole the necessary gear to travel back in time so 22-23 when he arrived, 24-25 when he joined the Justice League. Second series: 28/29. -- @thedanjurgens via X Jul 30, 2024

Hmm. That would mean that Booster Gold aged about three years over the first sixteen months of Booster Gold comics, and then aged only another three-or-so years over the next nineteen years nine months of comics? That seems... too young.

But who am I to argue with Booster's creator? In the past twelve years, The New 52, DC Rebirth, and Infinite Frontier have all consecutively rewritten the history of the DCU (with occasional contributions and input from Jurgens), so if Dan Jurgens says our hero is still under 30, I guess Booster Gold is under 30 years old.

Thanks, Steven!
