Mogo is a living planet that first appeared in the Alan Moore story "Mogo Doesn't Socialize" in 1985, and in the years since has gone on to become one of the most powerful members of the Green Lantern Corps. That makes it all the more impressive to discover that Mogo is less powerful than Booster Gold.

At least in the video game Infinite Crisis.

Fragment of Mogo vs Booster Gold
These 2 items have become virtually the same item.
...
I have the impression that at this point Booster Gold is clearly a better pick.

That observation comes from poster Rikishin at the Infinite Crisis Forum, where it was generally agreed that Booster is better than Mogo. (You can find out yourself: Infinite Crisis is in open beta development at InfiniteCrisis.com.)

Both Booster and Mogo debuted in 1985, and both are virtually unknown among people who don't read DC Comics publications. As great as it is that Booster Gold comes out on top, it's just nice to see that someone is still talking about them all these years later in the Internet age.

Booster Gold may not be in Warner Brothers Interactive's Infinite Crisis MOBA video game, but it appears that his power suit is.

The details above come from Dawnbase.com, but the discussion seems to be in the game's official forum. Some think it's too powerful, others, not so much. At least one gamer named Lyri is standing up for our favorite golden gladiator:

Booster Gold is super strong.

Perfect on most heroes with a dive like AWW, Shazam, Aquaman etc, amazing synergy with heroes like Ivy Prime, WonderWoman and fills an amazing role as AD defence.

I honestly feel this item is just too good and should be mostly gotten on anybody.

"Mostly gotten on anybody"? I couldn't disagree more. Booster Gold should be gotten on everybody!

To decipher some of the above acronyms, "MOBA" stands for "Multiplayer Online Battle Arena," "AD" stands for "Attack Damage" and "AWW" stands for "Atomic Wonder Woman." If you don't know what an "Atomic Wonder Woman" is, Infinite Crisis might not be your kind of game.

Otherwise, Infinite Crisis is now in open beta development. Join the fight for free at InfiniteCrisis.com.

Have you ever heard of Tracy W. Bush?

If you're a Booster Gold fan, you've probably heard him, if not of him. Bush was the original voice of Booster Gold in Sony Online Entertainment's DC Universe Online. (Booster's lines have since been re-dubbed since Bush left the company.)

It's worth keeping track of Bush's work. After leaving SOE, he caught on at 5th Cell Media, the company behind the Scribblenauts franchise. Bush was credited as both a writer, audio director, and sound designer for Scribblenauts Unmasked. (He's even a character in the game!)

This means that Tracy W. Bush has played a vital role in crafting two of the three video games prominently featuring an animated Booster Gold!

If we want to see in what video game Booster will turn up next, maybe we should keep an eye on Tracy W. Bush.

As previously reported, Booster Gold is among the hundreds of DC characters in Scribblenauts Unmasked. But that's not all. It turns out that our hero actually plays a role in one of the game's storyline missions, "Flash vs Professor Zoom"

Click the picture above if you want to see a full walkthrough video of the mission (and all of Booster's dialogue, beginning about 17:23) by ixCeLiFy on YouTube. If you'd rather play the game yourself, it's available on the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, and Steam.
