And why does he fight villains a lot? Usually it's either out of self-preservation, OR just because it's fun for him to do so. Strangely enough tons of villains have done the same thing for the same reasons. Booster Gold does that same exact thing as well... Does Booster Gold also kill innocent people just for laughs? |

Ben from the Walking Dead game series is a good example of an anti-villain. Anyone?.... Anyone know what I'm talking about?... Also, Deadpool is chaotic neutral if anything. *Honk* |

He doesn't do the good things for selfish reasons, but more so because he wants equal rights for his kind...most of the time. 2. Booster isn't always like I stated above/before. |

Superman started out as a cold blooded brute before he was rebooted. Aaaaaand that's one of the only pieces of comic related information that I've got. *Dances to a show tune toward the stage exit.* (Still... Superman is an overrated, overpowered piece of generic crap.)*Honk* |

I couldn't bring myself to off the dumb piece of crap. I did try to boot him from the group, though. :devil: (Still... Superman is an overrated, overpowered piece of generic crap.)*Honk* Do you hate the Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor, too? They're all practically on his level. |

Booster Gold does that same exact thing as well... Uh. No. Booster Gold may not be strictly pure of heart, but he fights villains because he wants to be a hero, not out of self-preservation, and he's on hero teams because his primary goal is to do good. If he didn't care about doing good, he wouldn't be a super hero. With the equipment he stole, he could get rich and famous plenty of other ways. |

Superman started out as a cold blooded brute before he was rebooted. Not exactly accurate. Comic books in the 40's and 50's weren't exactly concerned with "realism." The kids reading the comic books didn't see Superman throwing people through walls and think "wow, he killed that guy!" EVERYBODY could fly through walls and survive back then. Just look at the movies of the period. Also, he was hardly "cold blooded." |

He did whatever he could to get recognized as being the hero. He purposely went out of his way to make sure he was the talk. He cared about being a hero, sure, but he cared just as much about being famous. Like I said though, he did change, but I was just talking about the fact that Booster was the same exact way at one point. |
