Recap / Justice League Action S 1 E 52 She Wore Red Velvet

• Adaptational Backstory Change: Booster's backstory here is that he was a janitor at a superhero museum, but decided to go back in time to become a superhero so he could get enough money to support himself and his rich fiancée. In the comics, Booster got kicked out of college football and university because he was found out for deliberately losing games for his father's gambles, leading to him getting a job as a janitor at a superhero museum and getting the idea to go back in time to become a superhero.
• Canon Foreigner: Booster's ex-fiancée, Margo Montgomery/Red Velvet, is an original character made for the show.
• Insistent Terminology: Booster isn't a con-man, he's an entrepreneur... and a Philistine.
  Wonder Woman: Philanthropist?
  Booster Gold: What? What are you talking about?
• Leaning on the Fourth Wall: No one knows who Red Velvet is since she's a Canon Foreigner, leading to people making guesses that she's an Elseworlds Harley Quinn or a Red Lantern.
• Mythology Gag:
  • "I thought you were Animal Man." joke is a variation on the "I thought you were Green Lantern." joke about Booster from Justice League Unlimited.
  • A Batman fan asks Red Velvet if she's an Elseworlds Harley Quinn.
• Wrong Genre Savvy: Booster assumes from Red Velvet's red costume and red ring that she's a Red Lantern while calling a Batman fan that mistook her for an Elseworlds Harley Quinn an amateur. As it turns out, she's neither.
