I don't really think that Booster is Braniac 5 but I wouldn't be that sure
of it. Personally, I can't really tell if Booster has a different face than
Brainiac 5 because of his mask. Its hard to tell on the basis of his build
because Brainiac is always wearing at least moderately baggy clothes. Skin
color can be fixed by makeup. All of Booster's abilities seem to be dependent
of hardware. As we saw just last issue his costume is the source of his
super strength, energy blasts, and force field. As far as his flight goes,
he has a LSH flight ring. Before you put down Booster's IQ ask yourself this.
Where did he get that costume and Skeets? I don't think they're the kind of
things you just happen to find lying around. I'd still like to know where
he picked up the Legion flight ring, especially since its the old style. I
was under the impression that the only people that had those kinds of rings
were the older Legionairres and the Substitutes. Brainiac is the only one
in that group that comes close to Booster. Personality is the only real
difference that can be proven and when you consider the psychological
trauma that Brainiac has been through plus the trauma that Booster is
apparently suffering because he can't go back to his own time...
