Smallville: Booster
While Lois advises Clark to assume a bumbling, mild-mannered persona, a new hero arises in Metropolis: Booster Gold.

Clark is more concerned with the fact that an alien weapon has gone missing, unaware that it has attached itself to a teenage boy, transforming him into an unstoppable juggernaut of destruction.

Episode Quotes
Lois: So just, I don't know, slope your shoulders a little bit, speak a little softer, and stop being so, so...
Clark: What?
Lois: Great.
Clark: What?
Lois: Great.
Booster Gold: I'm sure you're all wondering who I am. Well, how about the 411. I'm pure gold, ladies and gentlemen. I am Booster Gold, the greatest hero you've never heard of--till now!
Cat Grant: I saw him first.
Lois: Who?
Cat Grant: Who else? Booster Gold. I know you're competitive, Lois, but you can't just sweep in and take my story. You didn't want anything to do with him before I did.
Lois: I don't want to have anything to do with him - or you.
Lois: Who?
Cat Grant: Who else? Booster Gold. I know you're competitive, Lois, but you can't just sweep in and take my story. You didn't want anything to do with him before I did.
Lois: I don't want to have anything to do with him - or you.
Skeets: Will you be thanking anyone, sir?
Booster Gold: Me. And maybe my mom. People love that sentimental stuff. Scores pretty big with the ladies, too.

Booster Gold: Who wants to be the star of the show? (all the Boosterettes raise their hands) Just kidding, I'm the star of the show.
Clark: Look, we need to get together and find Kord's missing weapon. It's dangerous
Booster Gold: Danger... is my middle name. So is fame, fortune, and front page, Clark.
Booster Gold: Danger... is my middle name. So is fame, fortune, and front page, Clark.
Clark: The suit doesn't make the hero. A hero's made in the moment by the choices that he makes and the reasons that he makes them. A hero brings out the best in people.
Booster Gold: Well, you know what? I got some advice for you, too.
Clark: What's that?
Booster Gold: "The Blur." No. No, no, no. It sounds like a roller coaster or something. You need something strong. You need something simple. Something that actually starts with that "S" you wear. Something... super. You got to brand it, baby. You know?
Clark: I'll start brainstorming.
