Once again, Booster is featured in an issue of Superman scripted by Booster's creator, Dan Jurgens. Following the events in the Final Night mini-series, Superman has changed costumes and powers as part of a storyline partially masterminded by Dan Jurgens. In this issue, Jurgens will change Booster's costume, essentially restoring Booster Gold to the powers and abilities that he lost the last time there was a significant change to Superman, namely his death courtesy of Doomsday in the "Death of Superman" storyline partially masterminded by Dan Jurgens. Booster's first costume was destroyed exactly 50 issues ago in Superman, Vol. 2, #74.

Booster takes to the sky in search of the missing Man of Steel. He boasts to the crowd of onlookers that he is "America's Favorite Hero" with rights reserved by the defunct "Booster Gold International." Skeets, still occupying Booster's armor, chastises him for the fraudulent statement, though whether Skeets objects to the boast or the inaccurate legal statement is unclear.

In an attempt to save Superman, Booster demonstrates that the Mark X/Flesh-Driver armor is capable of a force-field projection...which proves unable to shield Booster from an energy overload. This overload destroys Booster's Mark X armor, shattering it off his body. Superman's new energy powers are a lasting result of the events of the Sun Eater's attempt to devour the sun in the Final Night miniseries. It has taken Superman some time to control his powers, and the side-effects of their use.

Booster reveals his true motivation for seeking out Superman: after hearing that Superman had adopted a high-tech containment suit for himself, Booster had hoped that Superman would help him recover a costume similar to his original, "classic" Mark I armor. In essence, Booster came to Metropolis to gain a new costume, and in the process destroyed his current costume. There is perhaps a lesson to be learned here. No doubt, Booster won't notice.
