Publication History

Gold Accelerator first appeared in Booster Gold # 1 (February 1986), [1] becoming the first significant new character to appear in the DC Universe after restarting the Crisis on Infinite Lands . The following year, he began to appear regularly in the Justice League comic book series and remained a member of the team until it was disbanded in 1996. He and his teammates from the League several times appeared as “Superprivals” in the miniseries Formerly Known as the Justice League , as well as in the sequel JLA: Classifies “I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League”.

And on March 16, 2007, at the Wizard World in Los Angeles, Dan DiDio announced a new ongoing series of comics called All-New Booster Gold , later simply called Booster Gold . The series takes place after event 52 and was originally written by Jeff Jones and Jeff Katz, with illustrations by Jurgens and Norm Rapmund. [3] [4] The series focused mainly on clandestine time travels of the Accelerator across the DC Universe. [5] The series also describes Rip Hunter, Skeet, and the ancestors of Buster, Daniel Carter, and Rose Levine. The slogan of the series was: "The greatest hero you've never heard of!" [6] Katz and Jones left the series after 12 episodes (No. 1-10, No. 0 and One Million issue). Jurgens and Rapmund remained. Jurgens invited scriptwriters Chuck Dixon and Rick Remender to the post, for four editions.

In May 2010, Keith Giffen took charge of the Booster Gold series, linking him to the Justice League: Generation Lost miniseries, in which Booster teamed up with Flame, Ice, and Captain Atom to defeat the resurrected Maxwell Lord. From July 2010 to February 2011, Booster, along with Rip, Green Lantern and Superman, appeared in the six-episode miniseries Time Masters: Vanishing Point , which was part of the Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne event, which also featured Reverse Flash ( English Reverse-Flash ). The series also laid the foundation for the 2011 crosspoint of Flashpoint . [7] Jurgens returned to the main Booster Gold series with issue 44. [7]

Forces and equipment

Although the Golden Accelerator does not have superpowers (like Batman , he relies on equipment), he has the physique of an athlete. He demonstrates willpower sufficient to use the Legion’s flight ring at a distance that few others can.

The accelerator gets its “powers” ​​from artifacts that it stole from the museum of the future. The suit gives him superpower, and the bracers allow you to make power explosions. The bracers also contain most of the suit controllers, as well as a communication device. The schemes contained in the belt of the Accelerator give him protection against physical and energy attacks, he also uses the field to repel objects with great force and generate an environment in which you can breathe. The field is centered on the body of the Accelerator, but it can expand it and project it out. Suit glasses have the ability to see infrared radiation and increase . In addition to costume powers, the Accelerator can fly thanks to the ring of the Superhero Legion. The accelerator can also absorb mass, and then return it to its original state, or in molten form, [8] although this depletes its force field. [9]
