Booster Golds Death And Return Was Even Bigger Than Supermans

While Booster Gold may be one of the more self-serving members of the Justice League, when Michael Jon Carter learned of one of the greatest threats the DC Universe ever faced, the golden glory hound pulled off a death and resurrection way bigger than Superman’s – and he didn’t even advertise. Booster Gold is typically portrayed as a guy who’ll do anything for a quick buck. While he was always a true hero underneath his greedy demeanor, there was a time where it seemed like all Booster really cared about was his fans and his fame.

It wasn’t until 52 by Keith Giffen, Greg Rucka, and many more, that Booster’s heroic streak returned for good. When a mysterious force was threatening the newly formed Multiverse, it was up to Booster to stop it. The problem was that he had to do it without giving away how much he knew. And when the master plan called for the death of Booster Gold, he at least got the good publicity he always craved.

Throughout 52, Booster Gold finds himself in a publicity war with a mysterious new hero known as Supernova, even getting himself killed trying to one-up his foe by containing massive explosion in 52 # 15 . Meanwhile, Booster’s robotic sidekick, Skeets – the other half of Booster’s most amazing bromance aside from Blue Beetle – has been scheming behind the scenes. But when the corrupted Skeets confronts Supernova and the time-traveler called Rip Hunter in 52 #37, Supernova reveals that he is none other than Booster Gold himself. It turns out that weeks before Booster’s “death,” Rip warned Booster of Skeets’ evil intentions. He had Booster fake his own death to travel back in time in disguise. Acting out a rivalry with his past self, Booster secretly gathers all the tech Rip needs to stop Skeets, who’s revealed to be Mister Mind, one of Shazam’s oldest villains. Mind pursues Booster and Rip to the birth of the Multiverse as a giant cosmic moth, but Booster traps the monster and hurls him into a time loop before he can consume reality.

Though he didn’t actually sacrifice his own life, Booster Gold’s “death” sill managed to outshine that of the Man of Steel. In the classic 1993 “Death of Superman” story, Kal-El gave his life to save his beloved Metropolis from the raging Doomsday. His sacrifice saved many lives and is held up as a seminal tale in DC history. And while his actions were heroic, Booster’s actions saved the entire Multiverse. That’s pretty impressive for the superhero commonly referred to as “The Greatest Hero You’ve Never Heard Of,” and it shows just how much Gold has managed to grow as a character.

Booster Gold may have faked his death, but the threat he faced in Mister Mind was bigger than anyone ever expected. His actions in 52 show a willingness to sacrifice himself, which marked significant growth for the character. The death of Blue Beetle before DC’s biggest event, Infinite Crisis, forced Michael to mature in ways that fans hadn’t seen and prove himself a true hero. Booster finally realized there was more to heroism than fame and fortune — something Superman already knew. With Booster Gold and Blue Beetle reuniting in Infinite Frontier with an expanded Omniverse, there’s much more for Booster to protect. And with his adoring fanbase skyrocketing in volume, there are many more spotlights for Booster Gold to steal, even from Superman.
