Booster Gold was a thrill-seeker of the 25th century, who traveled backwards in time to the 21st century to fight today's criminals as a superhero. However, in reality, he is only interested in mega-fame and fortune, which are the only reasons why he came from the future, where he couldn't have them.

Because of his hunger for fame, Booster Gold was only entrusted with low-profile cases, and despite his best efforts, he was always mistaken for the Green Lantern. When the sorcerer Mordru ran afoul on Metropolis, Booster Gold saw this as the high profile mission that would launch his career. However, he was assigned to crowed control. In a burning laboratory, Booster Gold met Dr. Tracy Simmons, a scientist who, together with her boss, was experimenting with an unstable alternate energy source. Dr. Brown was caught in an accident that attached that source ? a black hole ? to his chest, and started sucking in everything in sight. Booster Gold was determined to help out the scientist ? manly to impress her ? and so he set off to place a gravity inhibitor collar on Dr. Brown.

Booster Gold is very cocky and somewhat goofy, but despite his obsession with fame and wealth, he is good natured and well-intentioned. In the end, he was willing to risk his own life to put an end this menace. He eventually succeeded, and even though this deed didn't grant him his most wanted mega-fame, it did earn him the admiration (and possibly something more) of Dr. Simmons, who saw the heroism in him, when he was no longer capable of.
