In the modern era, Booster Gold became best friends with fellow super hero, Blue Beetle (Ted Kord). While not in his costume, Booster stores it within Skeets who can simply transpose it back onto him when the time comes. Utilizing a Legion Flight Ring and 24th century super hero costume, Carter became Booster Gold.

Along with a data bank named Skeets, he traveled to the present. Frustrated with his life, Carter came up with a new plan, to go back into the past with futuristic technology via a time machine he stole from displays and become a famous super hero like the ones he idolized as a child. In 25th century, Michael Jon Carter was a security guard at a Natural History Museum.
