John Carlton (Earth-9991)

"In the super hero community there's usually one fail-safe technique used to solve problems. Beat the stuffing out of the bad guys. Other times you gotta use your brains. Or lack of 'them."

- - Booster Gold

A failing actor of the 26th Century, John Carlton sought to earn respect by himself as a superhero named Booster Gold, which was a common practice on the 21st Century, as it seemed. When he was poorly received yet again in his time, Carlton stole a time travelling armor alongside his robot companion, Skeets, and went to New York City on 2011, earning a little more recognition as a partner and best friend of the Blue Beetle, although he is still oftenly seen as a joke.

Personality
"I'll have you know that women-- in dozens of eras across history-- have sung the praises of my ass! And you should hear what they say about the rest of my anatomy!"

Equipment

 * Power Suit: While Booster Gold doesn't have any superhuman powers, John uses an advanced microcircuitry-powered all-purpose combat suit that allows him a wide range of options to use in combat.
 * Super Durability: The suit is extremely durable, very lightweight, and easy to wear. The suit itself is able to withstand bullets without losing its integrity (although being shot hurts), as it is based on the inventions of Iron Man in the 21st Century.
 * Superhuman Strength: The microcircuitry woven into the mesh affords Booster Gold a high measure of super-strength, enough to easily shift 20 tons - and a great deal more if he exerts himself. However, John must take into account the fact that attempting to lift things that heavy often causes them to fall apart under their own weight.
 * Force Field Generation: The suit is capable of generating a force-field powerful enough to take a direct punch from Hulk and leave Booster Gold mildly injured (although this fried the force-field though, and eventually the suit didn't fare much better).
 * Time-Travel Circuitry: Booster Gold has a time-travel circuitry built into his suit, enabling him to travel through the time stream, both into the past and the future. The suit has since been upgraded by Hiro Harada to enable him to traverse chronal anomalies without any adverse effects.
 * Gauntlets: The suit is able to provide powerful energy blasts, via blasters in the costume's gauntlets. At their highest setting, the blasts are capable of plowing through two solid feet of concrete.
 * Visor Devices: John's visor is outfitted with both sensory amplification devices (both auditory and visual) and a HUD for targeting and threat-identification.
 * Enhanced Vision: The visor provides broad scanning along the electromagnetic spectrum, providing infrared, ultraviolet, and X-ray vision.
 * Flight: Booster Gold's suit also enables him to fly effortlessly by concealing the gravity around his being.
