** Potentially subverted as Jurgens' run on Booster Gold Vol 2 was far more beloved than [=DeMatteis=] and Giffen's run and later minis like Time Masters and Blue And Gold have caused the pendulum to swing back to Jurgens' Booster being the far more beloved and remembered version for modern fans. Helping matters is JusticeLeagueAction using the Jurgens' version of secret Time Master.

** In his current series, the most unpalatable aspect of his portrayal in ''I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League'' - that he'd married an old lady for her money - [[RetCon turned out]] to be something he'd made up just to see if Ted would believe it. Doubles as a bit of a TakeThat, since this was in the last issue of Dan Jurgens' (who created Booster) run before Keith Giffen and JM Dematteis (who wrote Superbuddies) took over.

Booster assures him that they are still "really close" and that won't ever change]]. Troper has something in her ''heart.''

Natter, is YMMV and only refers to that incident.


** Some fans do actually like the superbuddies portrayal, while yes the whole marriage bit leaves something to be desired, that was a small bit of a large rather comedic story with some nice dramatic moments. Besides most of his interactions are with Ted and who want's to discount that?

** Booster refusing to give up trying to save Barbara Gordon from the Joker,when he failed and nearly died every time [[spoiler: because it was inevitable after all.]]
* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: ''Booster Gold #1000000'' has two of these - Batman helping Booster over his HeroicBSOD, and Booster's reunion with Michelle.
** Booster's narration as [[http://i40.tinypic.com/2ptoveo.jpg he goes back in time to save Ted]] is also up there.
** And the tribute to Ted at the Vanishing Point.
*** And the even-more kvell-inducing tending of Ted's grave til the end of time.
** Also when Booster brought Dick Grayson back in time so he could see his younger self celebrating Christmas with his parents.
