10. Booster Gold

DC Comics

Now Booster may not be a Green Lantern (much to the annoyance of confused autograph-seekers everywhere), but what he is is a deeply interesting and morally complex character - one with a rich enough backstory to entertain several mediums.

Booster Gold, aka Michael Jon Carter, is a time travelling superhero who heads to the past to foil crimes (because that's easy for a man from the future, obviously), and one who develops a reputation for glory-seeking at that. A number of life-changing events later and, wouldn't you know it, the man grows a conscious, with the Booster of today's comics very much being a mature superhero through and through.

Of all the journeys DC could bring to both the big and small screens, Booster's has to be the best. Seeing the character develop from being a thoroughly unlikeable guy into a proper hero - one to rally behind no less - would add a whole new dimension to the DCEU. It also helps that he's the perfect hero for DC Rebirth too, so yeah, let's get him in everything; comics, film, TV - all of it.
