I'll have you know booster's a popular guy. Get's all the chicks on JLU and such. Well, maybe not Wonder Woman and Supergirl. You know... gotta throw the nerds and geeks a bone or two. Ace Class Shadow 20:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Is the cleanup tag really necessary here? I've read through and everything seems pretty comprehensive. I'm only saying this because the cleanup backlog is getting really frightful, and the reason seems to be that cleanup tags are being plastered on articles indiscriminantly, often with no reasoning on talk pages/edit summaries. It's incredibly frustrating--over 1000 articles have been tagged in one week!--and I'll stop venting to empty cyberspace now. Sorry. Tamarkot 03:36, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Comments

message: Last night, I added a subsection to the Powers section on just how Booster possesses these two technologies dating from 500 years in the future from when he stole his tech, and another user deleted the entire section without comment. I've readded the section, as I feel it IS encyclopedic (someone even asked about it earlier in this talk page), and would like to discuss it if anyone else has issues with it. - 66.93.144.171 00:24, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Booster Gold's Legion Flight Ring & Force Field Belt

message: I think we should move this article to one called "Michael Jon Carter", because other characters that have had more than one identity have been moved to pages with their real names (e.g. Speedball (comics) to Robbie Baldwin). I shall be moving it today. Does anyone have a say in this? Themeparkfanatic 08:42, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Superman's article is titled Superman even though he has gone by names like Nightwing. Booster was Supernova only briefly. In fact, temporally, he was both Supernova and Booster Gold at the same time through most of Supernova's appearances. He has an upcoming series as Booster Gold. "Supernova" was never a name change. It was a disguise. So no, this doesn't work.You posted your comment saying you "think" we should move this article and you moved it in the same day. That's premature. Your enthusiasm is useful, but when you go to the trouble of posting a topic for discussion, please give people time to respond. Doczilla 17:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Themeparkfanatic, please don't start moving the article without consensus. All you're doing right now is making a dozen links to a redirect. To complete the move as you want, you'll need to go through WP:RM. --waffle iron talk 20:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  [SPOILER] 52 week 52 

message: Should there be included in this article something about Booster's legacy? Several times throughout his run in the DC Universe, characters have mentioned that Booster is more important than people realize.
In Booster Gold #25 (the original series), Harbringer and Martian Manhunter have a discussion, where it is revealed that Booster is descended from The Chosen (see the Millenium Event), and that he must be protected for some undisclosed reason (it is stated that Booster coming to the future was destined to protect him from one event in his original time).
In 52, Issue 52, Rip Hunter and Booster's anscestor, Daniel, discuss Booster. Rip states that the moment Booster helped save the multiverse from Mr. Mind would be remembered in the future as the start of Booster Gold's "glory years".
These two statements seem to go against the idea Rip pitched Booster, that Booster would go down as a failure and a fool. Especially since Rip is the one that told Daniel that Booster would be remembered well.
Do you believe thatthis should be mentioned within the article?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.112.51.198 (talk) 00:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Carter 

message: In the section on the appearance of Booster in Smallville, two possible descriptions of how Skeets is depicted, but one is given in parenthesis, as if it is of lesser value, or less likely. I’m not sure what the show intended (I think that they actually did want Skeets to be the ear-piece, but it isn’t clear), but as written the article is un-necessaily biased. It would be possible just to say that “Skeets is Booster’s history computer, communicating with him through an ear-piece”? Jock123 (talk) 09:04, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
