Booster Gold is a great superhero because he's probably what most normal people would be like if they got super powers. They would help people and try to be good but also look out for themselves, enjoy the fame and try and earn as much money as possible. People only hate him because he's not a cookie cutter "good guy" superhero like Superman, Spiderman etc.
Hmm, never of it that way.
agreed. i mean come on, i saved an old lady from a burning building (in my head) why shouldnt i get endorsed...
Spiderman is not a cookie cutter. Superman is.
People don't hate him.
Booster Gold is underrated, no one hates him.
Booster Gold, the only superhero with a bigger ego than Iron Man.
but hes a way better person than Iron Man is tho.
With a bigger ego that Ironman? Pfff, please.
Guy Gardner beats them both.
Has everybody conveniently forgotten about Thor who lost his place in Asgard because he had the largest ego ever.
+stephen schiffman But not as big as Dio Brando's ego
Booster make a good point. How people confuse him with green Lanter, he dosent even use a green suit.
If anything he looks more like animal man.
Green lanterns old suit used to look like booster golds suit
mestre12 I would've been more forgiving if plp said he was a yellow lantern...but srly,a GREEN LANTERN?!! U GOTTA BE COLOR BLIND IF U THINK HE'S GREEN!!!
the smart ducky well that must mean everyone outside justice league must be color blind and it must be because of green lanterns old custom
mestre12 well done with Booster and don't forget about his son Rip hunter and the Legends of Tomorrow! You know the only reason he made the legends in the first place was to get a bit closer to Booster!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
They should make a Booster Gold movie, it would be like the wolf of wall street for superheroes.
I would fucking love that.
Qualude!!!
Benihana??!! BENI-FUCKING-HANA??!!! WHY GOD WHY!!!!????
IF they would make a booster gold movie, I think Ben Stiller would be the best fit for the character :)
Peperts Agresibo How about Sean Michael Scott?
Booster Gold, the greatest Green Lantern there ever was
You mean the greatest Green Lantern there “never” was
Ha ha ha!!!!
I wouldn't mind booster gold being in injustice 2
What are you talking about? Green Lantern was already in the first Injustice
+Antasma1 lol I see what you did
I would immediately pre-order it
I wouldn't mind a booster gold and blue beetle live action movie currently being developed.
^
oh fuck yes! I love green lantern
he's not even green hahaha
Green lanterns old outfit used to look like booster golds outfit
Manuel Iniguez except it's green. Booster Gold's costume doesn't have any green on it.
Only reason I get this joke is because of The Justice League show lol
+L Da Nope, it was the running gag of that episode.

WatchMojo.com now we need Blue Beetle origins video :)
Rens Kersbergen that suggestion sucks it wont let you vote for Jaime Reyes
Rens Kersbergen Blue Beetle and Firestorm will be great for Superhero Origins video :)
Plz do a blue beetle origin.
can you do comic book origins of scourge the Hedgehog
Booster Gold is from the same year from professor zoom ( Reverse Flash )
Billy West, the voice of Futurama's Fry, provides the voice of Skeets in JLU and Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
Oh my good I KNEW he sounded fimiliar!
this guy and the question are my favorite
Yes truly underrated
I first ran into Booster Gold as a early teenager when given the comic book as a b-day gift. Loved him from the start, although never followed him because I never became a comic book reader. He was this normal guy trying to make something of himself after he lost everything. Sure there was a dark side to his reasoning and methods, but he honestly did some good. The under-rated position is a fun running gag that would be lost if he actually became popular. A very complicated character that at the same time is his own comic relief.

Booster Gold is awesome! Watch 'Justice League Unlimited- The Greatest Story never told'. Yes his origin story is kinda cool, but his motives for coming to the past and his lack of any skill or moral guide to be a superhero makes for a great comedy action set-up. This episode shows how to make the character work.
+Dark Reu yeah that episode was pretty sweet and dep down inside his douchey exterior
he is a nice guy
Yeah I could see an episode of Legends of Tomorrow where they meet Booster Gold and maybe a couple girls find attractive then that disappears when they see he’s a bit of an ego maniac. And they’re not sure whether to believe him when he tells them of a threat. And similar to that justice league episode we see Booster Gold’s ego taken down a peg, he suffers some consequences for his narcissism, and does mature and rise up to do the right thing.

Why Green Lantern again? Why don't you do other heroes like, I don't know, the guy with a golden suit from the future?
WTF didn't you guys do Green Lantern already?
The Zapp Brannigan of the DC universe.
hi
+Zitrone Kopf Thank you Green Lantern!
+Zitrone Kopf Yeah that was hilarious. Idk if the kid was colorblind or just dumb.
that green lantern joke was awesome 😂😂😂
It's the ring, isn't it.
Rlly...thats what it takes for u to die laughing....i guess knock knock jokes really get to you then huh
Yeah I remember him in the Justice League unlimited cartoon . He is so underrated .
When Booster Gold become an actual hero when he protects time, that’s when he became my favorite superhero.
Fucking finally booster gold one of my favorites fuck the haters he is a real hero that you can relate to, he is not a boy scout like superman, or a cliche superhero who only does good for the sake of good. He is like you if you got powers
I fuckin hate when people hate on characters for having some big ol power and they use it for fun shit. Like those fuckers who complain wouldn't use their powers for something not responsible.
Janiz Makudomaru THANK U
***** amen
bigg booje he is? so he kills all evil?
A Nappy Headed Hooligan yea and save all homes
I LOVE BOOSTER GOLD
+Booster Gold *I'm watching you, Green Lantern.*
+The Batman Mine!
Larfleeze *You love anything Gold, Larleeze*
i.... expected comic drake to reply to you saying something like "HELL YEAH #GOLD"
I wonder if they'll bring Booster Gold onto Legends of Tomorrow. They already brought Jonah Hex & the second Green Arrow Connor Hawke, why not Booster Gold?
+Felix De La Cruz Rumor has it. He'll be there. More so if and when they do a second season.
He's gonna get his own movie, the script is being written
Connor Hawke stinks! The real Arrow is WHITE!
+Brenn Tantor who cares? It's not like white actors dominate the movie industry. *sarcasm
+Jan Cardona really?
booster gold underated smh
It's because Ryan Reynalds ruined his character
Ryan Reynolds probably would've been a better Booster Gold ..or Nathan Filion ..one thing is for sure , i could also see Sam Rockwell doing this character ...
Antasma1 how?
The Otaku Dragon Slayer There's a strange running gag where people mistake Booster for Green Lantern
Not seeing how that ruined his character
I think this idea has a lot of potential, perhaps not exactly how they retconned it but potential none-the-less. He starts out like pretty much ANYONE who developed the ability to be a hero overnight would. Most of us probably would try to be good people but at the end of the day not many of us have enough saint in us to do it without any expectations of getting fortune or even fame for our deeds. And that's exactly what he does, he's still a good guy and isn't going to just ignore some kid in peril because it won't get him money, but he (and most people) probably wouldn't continue putting themselves in danger for nothing.
And as mentioned this has a great base for expansion. Rather than time the traveling shenanigans they had how about you instead have him become invested in our time? He develops friends, maybe a family, and eventually his deeds change the future to the point he can't use his knowledge of the future to help him anymore. Now he's invested in our reality, he doesn't lose that human edge he had from the start but now his continued deeds as a superhero start meaning more than just the money/fame because he has something to lose in our time.
I could just be rambling but it seems like there's potential for something interesting there.
If Booster-Gold ever had a rival, I want it to be *Kite-Man* ( _hell yeah_ ).
One of my favorites. Definitely deserves more appreciation
I came here for a synopsis of this character and I leave with a profound appreciation for WatchMojo's vast unprejudiced breadth of highlighted media.
You spelled Green Lantern wrong.
XD GODDAMMIT
Booster Gold motive of becoming famous and popular is almost looks like a villains motive and not a superhero type of motive. But hey at least something different to the story. To be honest, I always hate the cliché that a genius nerd boy is always a good guy while a tough boy who play american football or basketball is bad guy or a jerk. In nowadays 21st century, I find out that a nerd always cause trouble such as hack computer system etc while many tough guy who play football is actually a good person in real life
I really liked that Justice League episode it was so funny but also informative. I always wanted them to make another episode with him in it. So many possibilities wasted cause the network it was on was run by idiots.
Its a shame that Booster Gold didn't get more to do in the Justice League animated series. It would've been nice to see where Booster could've gone.
His in my top 10 super heroes of all time along with The Flash, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Gambit, Spider-Man, Moon Knight, Ant-Man, Cable, Wolfsbane & The Atom.
I love booster gold, I love him in Justice league unlimited,I love booster gold in Justice league international,I love booster gold in geoff John's run,I like chuck Dickson's run and I loved him in 52. 52 pickups is my favourite booster gold story.
I love people like him and question they're awesome once there's a tv series and movie people will go crazy and big fans of them
Wait... I thought this was a video of green lantern.
Wdym it is Green Lantern
He's my second most favourite superhero behind my most favourite vigilante Wayne. But seriously, Booster Gold is 👌👌👌. I've read 'Generation Lost' of the Brightest Day and that became my favourite comic because it had Booster and Captain Atom (Nathanadael Adam). Actually, in some cases, Booster Gold can be REALLY serious if there's a really huge problem.
Who's the guy in the title?I only saw Green Lantern.
Such an underrated hero. loved him on the JL series.
Superhero origins: Dream
Superhero origins: Red Hood
Superhero origins: Captain Planet
Supervillain Origins: Ghost
Supervillain Origins: Crossbones
Supervillain origins: Tiger Shark
I'd love to see this guy in DC's Legends of tomorrow
That's what I said!
never cared for booster. also what's wrong with an athlete betting on himself to win? I mean I can see problems with them betting on themselves to lose because they would throw the game, but it seems like they'd work extra hard to win if they're betting on themselves to win.
Booster gold is my favorite comic book character and probably favorite superhero overall, it’s sad how he’s so underrated
Booster Gold skeets on all his enemies, they can taste his wrath of JUSTICE
This guy is one of my favorite heroes of all time. :)
you guys need to do way more of these
I love his character. Really interesting and original
Fuck the haters. booster fucking rules.
YES
Booster Gold voiced by Tom Everett Scott!! I would like to see Booster Gold fight alongside Supergirl and Batwoman!!
It's a crime that he does not have his own film yet!!!
if he gets his own live action movie I think Andy Samberg should play him.
Booster Gold has already gotten his own live action movie and it’s excepted that James Gunn to include Booster Gold movie into his DCU slate
It really never made any sense how he was confused for Green Lantern, considering he doesn't wear any green, and the GL in JL/U is black. The people who confused him for GL must've never seen him before. But with that said, it's still pretty funny.
I love booster gold i have been waiting for you to do him!
why is everybody bashing on booster gold?! he is very underrated guy who did become a superhero for the glory but deep down he will put his life on the line to do what's right!
Oh man, I love Green Lantern!
FINEALY you were so overdue for one of those
now you can do some WATCHMOJO origins on flasb villains
Thanks to this guy he gave me an idea for a TV Show starring him & Blue Beetle
Nice job, this gets me thinking, could you guys please do Dr. Fate's superhero origins next?
My favorite Hero !!
Booster is pretty fun. I love how they portray him in Batman The Brave and The Bold
My favorite hero!
Wow, so many things I didn't know about Green Lantern
Booster Gold is probably one of the most underrated comic book characters
Booster is one of my favorites.
Why is this guy not one of DC's most popular heroes???
He's basically DC's Deadpool, but he maybe even a bit better(I saw this as a huge Deadpool fan).
If they made a good Booster Gold movie(hopefully not connected to the DCEU), his popularity could Skyrocket just like Guardians of the Galaxy.
Ugh the untapped potential is killing me.
A well done movie of him will be very fun to watch.
I liked the second series really well. Booster finds out he's the most important person ever... but he can't tell anyone. He tries to save Barbara Gordon numerous times and fails, over and over. But he keeps trying, earning Batmans respect. In 52 he faked his death and assumed a new identity as Supernova to smoke out the plot of Mr. Mind. He secretly essentially started the Time Masters, but goes down in history as an idiot.
i love it. Rediculous. I want DC to make a comic book movie about him, origin and everything.
Booster Gold is awesome. Thank you Watchmojo!
Very interesting
Favorite superhero hands down
Booster Gold is the shit, i'm only just started to learn about him and i all ready think he's a 10/10. I guess you can say he has received my certified gold seal of approval
Wow Booster Gold, another hero with a rough childhood
"Thank you Green Lantern!"
Thank you for the new comic
That movie narrator sounds like fry, I miss futurama
Same voice actor
Skeets
You know, that booster gold is indeed the most powerful characters, right?
Years Later they are now making a tv series about him
Booster Gold is one of the coolest underrated heroes of Dc he is stubborn and cocky like Red rpm ranger and has unique powers🕶🕶.
I hope Boosty will appear in Arrowverse.
5:18 he does have a point
There is a new Rumour going around about Warner Bros hired Greg Berlanti to write and direct a Booster Gold and Blue Beetle Team up movie he described it as a superhero buddy cop film which will infact be part of the shared DC EXTENDED UNIVERSE!!!
So he FINALLY got himself an origin spotlight. Great.
lol. I like Booster Gold. He is the Chris Jericho of the Justice League.
That's the reason he's one of my favorites. :-)
truth
Miz seems more appropriate if you wanna talk analogy
Everyone needs a Booster a day.
1:12 Hi Fry.
Booster's a jerk, but at least he's decent.
At least Booster Gold has one thing that most superheros don't, one of the most catche of superhero names.
Booster Gold is FUCKING AWESOME!
he's like a lovable Jackass.
I thought that was Green Lantern on Smallville.
lol. I think of him as the Deadpool of the JL.
ILove him 🤩
This guy is awesome!
Superhero origin for Terry Mcginis please!
Billy Magnussen as Booster Gold. Honestly, that would be pretty awesome.
There's a lot of Booster hate in these comments. I almost guarantee all of these people would do this if they got superpowers. I know I would.
he needs a movie soon
Top 10 of Christmas Movie! please!
Thank you, CineFix.
I want a Booster Gold movie directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller!! With Will Arnett as the main character!!
Seriously I'd pay top dollar to see that become a movie!!
nice video watch mojo, but you forgot to mention that booster golds future world was getting destroyed so he had to go back in time! and his mom is dead! also the little robot thing that follows him around is actually a very good friend that booster saved his life and the little thing promised to protect booster back for that! also he has alot of heart!
