New Powers For Superman & Old Crisis For Booster Gold

Back in the Silver-Age, Superman would get a new superpower every week. But in recent decades they have been hard to come by. There was his electric blue phase, growing a beard super-fast and the supernova draining event for example. Well, this week it seems we get another.

But today in Action Comics #1046, we see the almost conclusion of the Superman Warworld story, bereft of powers but fighting to inspire a slave rebellion, on a planet where people have been instilled to believe that their slavery is something to be proud of, and to literally place value their chains, Superman proves himself worthy of a brand new power set, with which to fight,

And Superman ready to regain his own legacy. Something that Booster Gold would really like a bit of. He may try to embody the spirit of Superman, but there's someone else he seems to remind everyone of.

As the Tales Of The Human Target one-shot revisits members of the Justice League International especially Booster Gold, who is having quite the problem.

Not for the first time, Indeed, it seems to be quite the reference to a certain episode of the Justice League Unlimited cartoon below…

Gold Lantern. Might as well join them…
