Goldstar

Michelle Carter is the younger twin sister of Booster Gold. In the same fashion, she uses 25th century technology to fight crime in the 21st century as Goldstar.
Goldstar was created by Dan Jurgens and made her first appearance in Booster Gold #1 (1986). However, her debut as a superheroine occurred sometime later.
==Background==
===Origin===
Michaelle Carter and her brother Michael Carter were born as twins, the children of a loving mother and an irresponsible father in 25th-century Gotham City. On their fourth birthday, their father left home to pursue his true love: gambling, leaving behind a massive gambling debt for the struggling family. Michelle is Booster Gold's sister and, therefore, also originates from the 25th century. At one point, Booster needed to return to his original era to be cured of an illness, reconnecting with Michelle during that period. Unexpectedly, she decided to travel with him to the past. With more resources available in the present than in the future, she chose to travel the world, partly aided by Booster's money. Although her brother was unaware, she took the Goldstar uniform with her to gain a better understanding of what Booster does in his superhero career.
===History===
She later died during her adventures, but has since returned, having been saved at the last second by Rip Hunter, so there was some question, due to the mechanics of time travel, as to whether she actually ever died at all. Michelle is currently being trained by her brother to be a Time Master.
Upon returning to life, Michelle became her brother's partner in their time-travel adventures. Discovering her past death initially unsettled her, causing inner turmoil despite Skeets' attempts to comfort her. Feeling overly protected, she left through a time portal before Booster could reach her.
Her death is later revealed as fully expunged from the timeline: since no body was found after the explosion, Rip Hunter actually plucked her from her designed fate to deposit her safely years after her supposed death. Michelle spends some time blissfully unaware of the deeper implications of her return, until Jason Goldstein, the villainous Rex Hunter, deleted from his intended timeline by the Time Stealers because of Rip Hunter's actions, returns as a chronal energy being, forcing Goldstar to witness her intended fate. Despite Rex Hunter's defeat, Michelle is left deeply traumatized, and starts obsessing about her own death, strongly believing her life a glitch in the timeline resentful against Rip Hunter and Booster Gold for having hidden her real fate from her Goldstar disables Skeets with a powerful magnetic blasts, and escapes into the timestream to an unknown place.
Michelle's suit has been shown to have more powers than originally seen, as she can now fire energy blasts from her wrists like her brother, that still appear as magnetically based, albeit on par on the fully energetic ones of his brother. It is also assumed that her suit was altered by Rip Hunter the same way Booster's was, to protect her while traveling through the time stream, probably enhancing her abilities in the process, as Rip still has access to the same technology used to build and keep in shape the original Booster Gold suit.
However, she discovered she was supposed to die, and started believing that by being saved she was robbed of her place in the timeline. She then escaped, heading to an unknown destination. While Rip and Booster tried to find her, they didn't find any trace of her. More recently, however, she was revealed to be heading to Coast City in the eve of its destruction. However, Booster finds her in time and brings her to the present.
==Personality==
Goldstar is the younger twin, yet Michelle is the most responsible and reliable of the two siblings, often giving her eloquent brother a scolding, even though she, like him, is also passionate about time travel for the excitement it offers. Michelle was initially depicted as a character not as interested in superheroes for reasons similar to most other heroes, but because she shared characteristics aligned with her brother's, often breaking the rules more than her own brother, saving people even if it affects the timeline. Nevertheless, she became relatively well-known as a competent heroine in her own career.
==Paraphernalia==
Equipment
===Goldstar Suit===
Her crucial asset is the Goldstar costume, granting her magnetic manipulation abilities. Through the suit, she can fly, manipulate metallic objects, generate force fields, and emit magnetism-based beams. Rip has also modified the suit to safeguard her from the hazards of time travel.
*Magnetic Manipulation: The Goldstar Suit grants Michelle the ability to manipulate magnetic fields around her. This power allows her to attract, repel, or control metallic objects, create protective shields, or even alter the trajectory of certain types of attacks.
*Flight: Michelle has the ability to fly, enabling her to swiftly move in any desired direction. This provides her with a tactical advantage and facilitates her actions in combat or during her temporal travels.
*Force Field: The suit can generate a defensive force field that shields Michelle from physical, energy-based, or temporal attacks, providing an additional layer of security in hazardous situations.
*Energy Projection: In addition to its magnetic capabilities, the suit allows Michelle to project energy blasts, similar to those emitted by her brother. These blasts are powerful and can be used both offensively and defensively, serving as an extension of the suit's offensive capabilities.
*Energy Resistance: The Goldstar Suit possesses remarkable resistance against various forms of energy, allowing Michelle to withstand energy-based attacks more efficiently and protecting her from damage caused by these energy sources.
*Transportation: Apart from flight, the suit has transportation capabilities, enabling Michelle to swiftly and accurately move to different locations, broadening her strategic options in missions or emergency situations.
*Time Sphere: Similar to Rip Hunter's device, the suit grants Michelle access to a Time Sphere, allowing controlled time travel. This ability can be crucial for specific missions or to comprehend past and future events.
