6) Booster Gold
Despite his crappy name, Booster Gold is one of the more underrated heroes of the DC universe and has gained a cult following in recent years due to his unusual backstory. While most of the DC pantheon became heroes through hard work and sacrifice, Booster Gold is a fame hungry time traveler who stole powerful technology and traveled from the future to become a legendary superhero.
Seeking fame rather than justice, Booster Gold may not be the most obvious hero to helm his own show, but in a world where people would rather become an online viral sensation than actually work to achieve their goals, Booster Gold is more relevant than ever. Following his well received appearance in the final season of Smallville and the introduction of time travel on The Flash, now is the perfect time to give the arrogant hero his very own show.
Fortunately, The Flash’s executive producer Geoff Johns clearly agrees;
“There’s no rights issues and quite honestly Andrew and Greg have a great Booster Gold script, and Booster Gold’s a beloved character, so I would say chances are good.”
Following a failed attempt by Syfy to kickstart a Booster Gold show, it’s encouraging to know that the Arrowverse team are still considering the time traveler for a guest spot or even more for.
