Booster is kind of a dick, though, don't get any misconceptions about that. He's certainly not above taking potshots or doing terrible things. Notable is the fact that Booster has never expressed any sort of regret over starting his superheroic career with a massive theft (regret over how his superhero career ended up, yes, not how it started), and, in fact, he's proven a couple of times that he'd do it again.
Booster also lies a lot. And, perhaps more importantly, has a lot to lie about. He doesn't want people to know his origin, he doesn't want them to know the sketchier things he's done, he doesn't want them to know when he's feeling down, etc., etc., etc. That all being said, Booster's not an all bad guy. He usually really honestly does want to do the right thing, he's just usually really bad at figuring out how to go about doing it. Really, really bad. His heart is usually in the right place, it's just that his head often isn't.

And then there's Supernova. Supernova is, in a way, Booster's attempt at doing the whole superhero thing again, but right this time. Which really comes out to mean that Supernova is pretty much the opposite of Booster Gold in every way. He's a very idealized hero: brave, noble, and professional, with strong, unwavering principles. Supernova would never monetize his superheroic image or get involved in a scam like Kooey Kooey Kooey or be completely useless when people start dying left and right! (Though this last one doesn't quite work out in practice, Booster still being as much of a terrible-shit-magnet as always.) And while's he's still fairly personable, it's different from Booster's friendly, casual personableness: while Booster will give you a nickname within two sentences of your first conversation with him, Supernova will be calling you by your last name even months later.
